usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Great news: I got into a bad car accident on my way there so I didn’t end up getting it. Hit me with the info! (I’m okay) (my car is toast) (I’m in a ton of pain) (I still need that dumb root canal)

It's really funny how America and the UK stopped investing in infrastructure in the 1980s because the free market will pave potholes and make the trains run on time and now literally nothing works and you cannot go anywhere or do anything but like 4 people are richer than God.

Scientists: ‘climate change will cause more extreme weather’

Conspiracy theorists: "fake news, it's not changing"

*floods and extreme weather events happen*

Conspiracy theorists: "They are controlling the weather. This is weather warfare. The weather is being manipulated".

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage.

Dems need to act like an opposition.
