...This can only get more stupid. The only saving grace is that the Navy is slower than molasses running uphill in January when it comes to design review.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w ago“The Navy is considering a major redesign of its new aircraft carriers to better match President Trump’s preferred aesthetic for the warships … Trump’s preference, current and former officials said, is for the new aircraft carriers to look more like those that were in service during World War II.”
It’s not just the lying. It’s the insult to my intelligence that stings.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w agoHassett on why the economy lost 50,000 government jobs: "It was one of those weird seasonal things. Because there was a lot of snow in the winter, a lot of schools had to stay open longer for the snow days, so the teachers got laid off in July instead of the end of June. Heheheh."
Works for me!

He shot 70, because kicks, throws and “lucky” finds don’t count as “shots”.

I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”
So Max Miller: 1) Denied the allegations against him 2) Claimed his (soon-to-be-ex)-wife has mental health issues 3) Said this is all just custody battle nonsense He's not dropping out and he'll answer any questions (spoiler: no he wont). Anyone else getting the twitch eye, or is it just me?

I find it darkly hilarious that all the bulletproof glass around Trump makes every time they try to show him on TV impossible because of the glare.
There are always going to be non-citizens on voter rolls in states with automatic voter registration at the DMV. But much like dead people, a non-citizen has committed no crime unless they actually attempt to vote. The Republican Party knows this distinction, but obscures it deliberately.
The Nevada Independent@thenvindy.com · 2mo agoFederal officials claim in a letter that Nevada has upward of 15,000 noncitizens on its voter rolls. It’s a claim that the Nevada secretary of state has called an attempt to sow distrust ahead of the 2026 midterms. thenevadaindependent.com/article/feds...

Been a fun couple days - dad's in the hospital for high blood sugar since Saturday night. It wasn't coming down, even with insulin. Yesterday either a nurse or tech realized they've been giving him a dextrose IV instead of a saline one. For two days. No wonder it hasn't been going down... 😵💫
Yeah, this is utter bullshit. As someone who handles these investigations we yank any staff member accused of misconduct out of the school and if we can substantiate the allegations we fire them, refer for criminal charges, and report to the state to get their license revoked.
