If someone says that key lime pie is bad, they have already sinned against god. No need to yell at them, they will be judged and damned in the afterlife

Yeah but Harding's bone spurs were pretty painful.
I think there was that time Warren G Harding mixed shrooms and meth but otherwise yeah.

Is there any part of this fiasco of hiring someone known for ranting to head the FBI and his continuing to act like an idiot that surprises anyone, including Trump turning on him for taking the spotlight away from him?
(MSNOW) - President Trump is considering removing Kash Patel as FBI director in the coming months, as he and his top aides have grown increasingly frustrated by the unflattering headlines Patel has recently generated, according to three people with knowledge ..

"The White House isn't sure whether Trump actually had a phone call or just imagined it" is where we are on the dementia scale now.
An amazing new Trump controversy, Part II of II:
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
- Saturday afternoon: Trump says he spoke to Bolsonaro the night before and planned to see him “in the very near future”
- Monday afternoon: The Trump White House isn’t sure whether Trump actually had the conversation he referenced two days earlier
White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Bolsonaro White House hedges on Trump’s curious claim about his call with Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro
Did the Republican president talk to Bolsonaro as the Brazilian plotted to escape? Trump said yes, but the White House isn’t so sure.

In my defense I did have a crock pot stop working (it was only 23 years old! only!) and I discovered it after I came home from work. It's hard to trust again after that kind of trauma.
I get it😩

Still kinda bothered that our president is calling for the execution of folk in Congress who served in the military for encouraging folk to defend the constitution. I can't remember the last time a president did this and I've been around for a while.

We wanted to understand how regular Americans feel about the Trump administration. So we talked to three Russia-funded content farmers at a tea house in Islamabad.

This is necessary to prevent hubris and avoid the wrath of the gods.
Every car made today is an incredibly sophisticated computer on wheels. Really unfortunate that there is simply no solution to having it die because one (1) little overhead light was left on overnight.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

"writing code to solve a problem" used to have "understanding the problem" as a prerequisite. but vibecoding allows solution-shaped objects to be produced without any of the hard-won understanding. beware of solution-shaped objects.

Forgetting to turn on the crockpot is my most prolific self sabotage yet.

Wonderful for my first knee to go, so-so for my second. Good luck.
Just had a steroid injection into my knee. Fingers crossed it'll buy me a bit of comfort for a while 🥲

I adore my Stihl, but I lost my chainsaw virginity to a cheap Craftsman that to this day lives, despite all the abuse I put it through.

Somehow people don't seem to care how badly it performs. It means more money for folk who own things and that's all that matters.
I’m sure I’m gonna get dragged for this, but I think AI is bad. AI has completely ruined Google search and it’s created a lot more slop that needs to be avoided on the Internet.

Yeah sure he did all that but it was easy since he didn't have bone spurs that miraculously healed after the end of the Vietnam War.
