so if the term "nazi" derives from "Nationalsozialist" and our current nationalists aren't kidding anyone that they're socialist in the least, what would be a linguistically correct new term for white supremacist nationalists in the american oligarchy? Extra points if it spells something stupid.

what do you do to alleviate homesickness?

What would you even do if you got an email that the current administration fired you? Would you even bother cleaning out your desk or just wait for the next email that says you're un-fired?

It could not have tasted as bad as watching you make it

Judge orders Trump administration to temporarily allow funds for foreign aid to flow again A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily lift a three-week funding freeze that has shut down U.S. aid and development programs abroad.

Hopefully this judgement will be honored by the Trump administration and aid will begin to flow again.
It's worth repeating: The President of the U.S. does not decide where or how our tax money is spent. That is Congress's job. That's why Trump keeps losing in court.

so okay, was using the Gulf of Mexico as a test of media loyalty the plan the whole time? Or does that crack team of white nationalists surrounding the toddler on the throne think of these things as an afterthought?

I know Dom and Billy are perfect, but who else would you cast as Merry and Pippin? (Does anyone else imagine the actors in their head as they read?)

I was thinking authentic / homemade sushi. Not like I even know how to feed myself outside of complex cultural meals, but sushi in my kitchen is like, NEVER happening.

*mentally calculates what must fuel replicators in a post-scarcity society...*

was the whole game to get us freaked out about a thousand illegal/immoral things they were gonna walk back in a couple days anyway, just so that we don't know what to do when one of the illegal/immoral things sticks?

I definitely just watched a video on how to open a can. (To be fair it was one of those cans with the key attached.) What's the dumbest thing you've had to look up?

what would you wind up eating all the time if you had a star trek replicator?

His only addiction is snark. (And also I'd trust him to not be chill on war crimes.)

there's bound to be stuff we don't have on our bingo card yet. Y'know, to add as footnotes to Origins of Totalitarianism: Electric Boogaloo.

do you mean as if we've been sealed in a dumpster for 10,000 years? Or we're all going to become powerful witches who live on the moon?
