There's no real point in arguing with his mouth noises, particularly not when preaching to the Bluesky choir, but this is *noteworthy* nonsense. If the revenue were real (it's not), then it would be revenue *of the United States government,* equally available to a Democratic Congress to spend.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 13h agoTrump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."

Raqefet Cave in Israel was a sacred burial site for the hunter-gatherer culture known as the 'Natufians' around 13,000 years ago. More recently, we've also discovered here the earliest evidence of BEER BREWING from grains. Even more remarkable because these people HADN'T INVENTED AGRICULTURE YET.

Social media is weird because if you give people a good feeling they will be overfamiliar with you, and if you do not do that they treat you like a human yelp page
Today, I cleaned dog shit out of an agave. Today, I feel I truly became a New Mexican.
Daggerbound by @tkingfisher.com is so extremely my jam I'm torn between not being able to stop listening and needing to immediately go back to my favorite bits so I can properly kick my feet and make delighted dolphin noises as I bask in the feels. The characters! They're so...!! And THE SHIP?? !!!!
Parents of the world, I’m new to this because Stepkid only recently hit the age, but is there a name for “I have given the kid the thing from my closet because it looks better on them than it ever did on me, goddammit?”
We have reached the stage at our local Really Good Hole In The Wall cafe that the head cook comes out and says, “Ey, you guys wanna try the cheesecake we’re offering next week?” and brings us “testers the size of my fist.

How do we incentivize people to paint wizards on their vans again I haven’t seen a wizard van in a decade and it feels like we lost something precious Can we offer up a tax credit? Little bags of shrooms? Start a wizard van painting program at vocational schools?
it’s nice to know that, as a nerdy and insufferable kid with good standardized test scores, I could really have turned out a whole lot worse
