Do these people know they can simply decline to go on camera and debase themselves?

Screenshot of an online opinion article by the Editorial Board. The headline reads, "The Texas gerrymander freakout," with the subheadline, "What's happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy." The publication date is August 20, 2025.

​Screenshot of an online opinion article from The Washington Post by the Editorial Board. The headline reads, "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss," with the subheadline, "The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."

The WaPo editorial board when Republicans gerrymander in Texas versus when Democrats gerrymander in Virginia.

I strongly suggest showing this to people whose ask chatbots for facts.

Dystopia Timeline Cleanse:

Love this.

Do... the scammers think that everyone doesn't have Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT already? Who pays for "resume tweaking" at this point??

Ahh yes, I'd forgotten that patriotism meant blind allegiance to a tyrannical oligarchy!

In AL and some people have asked me how I feel about this and I feel pretty good that Democrats actually get rid of our sex pests instead of electing them president

Told my wife to have dinner ready at 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.

I lol'd at this.😆

This shouldn't be complicated. Keep it in your pants. If you can't do that, don't run for office. And also, seek help.

I do feel bad for anybody whose livelihoods depend on refi's right now, though.

They need to start getting creative with promotions, like offering people season tickets to refi or something.

Amused by my (former) mortgage lender sending me an email offering to "get my bills under control with a mortgage refi."

My brothers in crisis, I'm inside of 10 left on a 2.8%. That's cute.

About 40% of Americans have cut back on streaming services in the last three months.

They blame both the cost of the platforms and the broader cost of living crisis.

The shock to long-distance flying from the Iran war has been dramatic, and it's only just begun. Looks like Delta did good by buying its own refinery.

Gasoline prices rose 21% in March from the prior month. That was the single largest monthly increase in gasoline prices since the series began in 1967

BREAKING: The Commerce Department has revised U.S. fourth-quarter GDP growth down to 0.5%.

Third quarter growth was 4.4%.

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Four headlines in which Marjorite Taylor Greene, Tucker Carolson, Piers Morgan, and Alex Jones condemn Trump for his genocidal threats to Iran.

Imagine being a moderate Republican and getting outflanked on decency, morality, and basic humanity by these four nutters

This was the national championship match for all of the "I just hope both teams lose" folks. 🤢

My plan? You wouldn't know her. She goes to a different school.

This is the only card that matters from that set.

The dementia is the accelerant.

We need more from elected Democrats. We are way, way past milquetoast, business-as-usual Governance and failure to meet the moment should be disqualifying.

If you cannot step up, step aside.

"Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell" -- Jake Tapper reads Trump's Truth Social post on air

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

It's almost as if they are hoping their message is heard by a single person!

I knew we were cooked when we moved past the "$400/mo is a reasonable car payment" threshold.

Which is also why I drive a 12 year old truck with non functional A/C. In Texas.

Paused MAD MEN while Ted Chaough’s partner was in the hospital and the HBO Max interstitial ad made it look like his dying wish was for a Whopper.

This is fine. 🔥
