Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
the intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation

You're in the final 20% of your life. You decide it should be most people's last 20% too, because you're not going down without taking as many people with you as possible. You're Tony Fuckin Montana.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"
pleased to announce that I've been hired by The New York Times. my job is to commission articles written by right-wing politicians, activists, and billionaires where they describe their activities in whatever way they see fit. it's nice because I don't have to edit or fact check anything
Baker's How to Rule the World will turn out to be pretty important work. Tenacious and narrative and personal.
What's the French mind control joke referencing in the new spider man movie?
“Some of you may have a vague idea that this war is being fought to protect you and/or that you might enjoy some benefit as a second order consequence of victory. I assure you nothing is farther from the truth.”

On paper, NC Treasurer Brad Briner is the most overqualified and least relatable statewide officeholder. But his personal, professional and political journey is far more complicated. A profile that has been months in the works is now out—> #ncpol

imagine getting dunked on by Playboy for being weird about women’s bodies
Playboy@playboy.com · 6d agoWhat are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...

👏 Your inner critic quiets down when you’re making it up 👏 You don't have to be good at it for your brain to benefit. Sometimes the point isn't the masterpiece, it's simply creating. theconversation.com/what-i-found...

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... A significant miss in all of these doge columns is that Elon Musk broke the walls between agencies on purpose and absconded with multi-agency PII. He's basically everything the conservative project fears about central government.
The IRS is imploding.
The CEO says the agency is proving it's possible to have “less people and better results.”

Cooper Lund@cooperlund.online · last wk.Sometimes I think it’s too reductive to say that a car is a uniquely deranging object to own, but then I see people who claim left politics compare the people trying to turn a carpark into a children’s home to Netanyahu and I think “no, the car has made you crazy”

Spent 5 days in Louisville KY and I leave befuddled by the conservative project. Either I'm converted or left and right want exactly the same things. Public housing, charming neighborhoods, hip restaurants, sharps containers, parks and pedestrian infrastructure, mulitculture, etc. Confusing.
Had a webserver getting crushed by Claude for some reason. Dug in to the logs and someone made a shitty php hangman game back in 2008, the dipshit computers found it, and were “playing” it 1M+ times a day until I blocked it. The future sucks ass
