watching old Jeopardy eps every night while the show's on summer break and this one contestant was talking about how many shoes his wife has and Trebek got all pervy and lecherous for a second like "oooooh, high heels? 👀" and the guy was like "the higher the better" and Trebek was like 😏
“Is Trump deranged or is he lying?” is a very serious thing that should be written about at length. And the conclusion of either possibility is the unambiguous demand that he step down as being unfit for the office. It’s not like anyone has a third explanation! They just ignore it.
One of my great frustrations with the media is they know Trump is full of shit on things like this. But because they don’t know if he’s lying or delusional they type up neither possibility. But they should be loudly writing that those are the only two possibilities and both are disqualifying!

it's not why *everything* sucks, but having all three branches of the federal government captured by thieves, abusers, bigots, and cowards is definitely why a lot of things suck
What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

finally, the Democratic party has a plan.
One day in 2020, I went to a coffee shop. I was so sick of working 100-hour weeks from home with a newborn that I loaded up the stroller, grabbed my laptop bag (the one with the big World Health Organization logo on it), and headed out. When I got there, I started typing a YLE post.
There's a reason why they only ever have these "debates" during the summer... not during the winter when we forgetful, short-sighted human masses conveniently forget how bad it would be during the winter if we had perma-DST.

Very few people know things like this. When in doubt, share.
Avel Guénin--Carlut@fluffycyborgii.bsky.social · last wk.Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

Seth Abramson@sethabramson.bsky.social · 2w agoWhatever Trump did with and for Epstein—and with and to the girls Epstein surrounded himself with—was *so* vile that Trump, an adjudicated rapist already, launched the largest criminal coverup in US political history to hide it. So we should presume it was harrowingly diabolical.

like, there’s nothing here, it’s just an old man ranting on television about things he can’t prove and don’t matter, the whole of american government is now focused on the make a wish presidency so that they can tell him they’re doing things while they get fucking rocked in the courts
I dunno I feel like many if not most of the problems we are presently experiencing in the US could have been averted by treating one (1) man like the lifelong con man and late-life traitor he demonstrably is
