in late 2020 a witch put a curse on the office of the presidency that henceforth whichever political faction holds that chair will be afflicted with burrito discourse

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

thank god all the michigan primary discourse is finished and we can get on to the real business of michigan post-primary discourse

mosquito bit infected traveler, then someone else. so assuming the CDC’s basic viral factsheets can still be trusted (lol), it seems like there would need to be a significant human reservoir for this to become more than a one off thing? anyone know if animals can function as a reservoir too?

sir my job is ‘hit things with hammer’. I’ve tried ‘hit things with computer’ and everybody just gets mad at me

I have one answer.

ngl Pirro having to try and convince him that suddenly Facts Matter after all her years as one his favorite Fox News talking heads seems like the ideal karmic punishment

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 7h ago

It's funny that Jeanine Pirro brought a box of evidence to WH to persuade Trump. He wants her to consciously *throw out* exculpatory facts and *knowingly* prosecute innocent people. So facts can't persuade him by definition. Me and @barbmcquade.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/2139...

there were not one, but two revolting state house Dems who tried to sue trans women off the ballot because they did not use their deadnames. they've both lost.

Kevin@reginageorgebush.bsky.social · 15h ago

oh, this is great to see—Liberati is a gross socially conservative dynasty pol who tried to get Whaley, a progressive, disqualified for not filing under her deadname. Harris+1.5 so she starts out favored

really need this drought to end so I can in good conscience complain about heavy rain at six in the goddamn morning

right well, no surprises there. all y’all hanging out at Kardinal tonight, please tell Tom to get fucking mad already.

you know what fuck it I’ll come out and say it, I voted for the ex-Republican who was at least very clear that he wants these assholes punished. get your shit together after tonight Tom, please.

Andrew@tjsleakyroof.bsky.social · 20h ago

yeah. least motivating vote I’ve done in years ngl, for the exact reason you state. almost did an anti-McGuire GOP crossover just to make it fun

t-1 until all the nerds start hulking out, godspeed my overeducated hyperfocused cousins

bum bum bum bada bum bum bum—yeah! WE’RE NAPPIN ON THE EDGE

long, long ago—when I still had some minor pretension of being slightly trained in physical combat—an instructor gave me some very good advice on escaping joint locks: “move ahead of the pain”. this turns out to also be incredibly useful when I make the poor decision to play with our cats barehanded

What sucks about this is that the only person with any character on the school board is the one who is resigning. She's resigning because she has character. Take note of those who remain.

She made the announcement during the Tuesday morning special meeting of the Albemarle County School Board.

If there's anything that links right and left, screaming racist and screaming anarchist, it is this: literally everybody hates Jason Kessler.

goddamnit. I don’t really blame her, but man we’ve got a serious fuckin problem with right wing agitators fixating on county politicians and driving national hate their way.

gutters are all covered in metal, and the finish deck boards are going down

Andrew@tjsleakyroof.bsky.social · 5d ago

we’re waiting on the roofers to finish up the gutter flashing before we can start the deck, so I’ve been helping the masons with grunt work this week. gonna be some kind of garden path back behind Pav V, kinda neat

my sincere gratitude to the lovely state of Michigan for ensuring the Virginia primaries aren’t the main focus of all the talking heads today, makes for a nice change of pace

yeah ok fine, we probably shouldn’t allow this one. rare w for the humorless bureaucrats

Rejected Virginia License Plates@rejectedplates.bsky.social · 2d ago

since they’re crowdsourcing ideas to bring iran to the table now, have we considered doing modern day nuremburg trials to account for all the war crimes perpetrated by this regime, and then waiting the generation or so it’ll take to prove the us might possibly be a reliable negotiator again

pretty wild that I stomped my very first spotted lantern fly just two years ago, and it’s already very clear we’ve lost this war

this is actually the wife-beatingest reply possible. this is the platonic ideal of how a guy who beat his wife would respond to a question about beating his wife.

Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

Tomorrow the city of Charlottesville will look to approve $4 million towards homeless services, including emergency shelter and housing supports.

I still vaguely remember the maybe 30 days or so right after we got these guys when my partner pretended we weren’t going to allow them on the kitchen counter, that was a pretty solid joke

replaying Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time since release, and ngl “BEEP BEEP, MOTHERFUCKER” made me absolutely lose it once again

lol, lmao I absolutely did not have Pirro on my card as the first one to break from backing the dumbest lie ever, but I’m excited to see how it plays out
