Flight home delayed again for another 2 hours, after they forced us to check our bags in Chicago.

If they cancel us the next flights are tomorrow and they won't give us our bags back or help us with any accommodation in the event of a cancel. Fuck southwest.

It's a little too wintry out there.

Southwest cancelled my flight home through Nashville, told me I had to call them to rebook, and then 30 seconds after I hung up the phone cancelled the first leg of my flight through Baltimore, leaving me with just the flight from Baltimore but not Chicago.

I'm never getting out of this hell.

I guess if I have to have frank conversations about whether or not we should plan to leave the country, doing it over begneits isn't the worst.

To be clear - she did want to build the weapon. She's just upset it's aimed at her.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Society is falling apart but at least I got a bunch of people doing oddly specific owl impressions for my day of bread and circus.

I'm not gonna act like the decisions are easy, but Walz has gotta figure something out. You cant work inside the typical bounds of a system when the people you're opposing are specifically acting lawless and outside of it.
Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Sarah Palin can see Russia from her house.
Trump: “I’m not talking about buying Greenland, though I might talk about that later, but right now, we are going to do something with Greenland, whether they like it or not.

“Because if we don’t, Russia or China will take over Greenland, and we’re not going to have Russia or China as our neighbour

I'm 8 days into 2026 and I'm already sick of people's shit.

Yes, Jane, this meeting could have been an email, BUT YOU DIDNT READ YOUR EMAIL AND NOW I NEED YOU ON ZOOM.

My guy, you should be considering deployment against ICE.
Governor Walz says he's prepared to deploy the Minnesota National Guard if protests become violent in reaction to ICE fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis.

"We will not take the bait," adds Walz, saying he's also angry but demonstrations should remain lawful.

How in the fuck did anyone vote for this man?
Trump: "Transgender for everyone! Bring your kids in, we're gonna change the sex of your child. Just send them our way. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents. It's not believable."

I, for one, am shocked that Republicans, who are famously very interventionist and war hawks, are once again acting like interventionists and war hawks. Who could have possibly seen that a Republican would be in favor of cold war style proxy war/foreign policy against China and Russia? Who, I ask?
Thune: "My view is the Venezuelan energy industry which is in cahoots with China and Russia is now gonna need to start working constructively with the United States and energy companies here"

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world.

This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Fuck, and I cannot say that enough, the New York Times.
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Isn't all the lord of the rings stuff like...protected IP? Feels a bit weird that these tech companies can just keep using the names for companies.

Also, genuinely wondering how long it's going to take for one of these guys to just setup in a volcano based HQ.

It took him a minute to figure out that it was in fact OK to rip this to shreds, but he got there.
