Thou shalt not baselessly accuse Somalians of “stealing billions” when you are the one stealing billions every single way you can.
Um, this commandment is mostly for Donald Trump and his racist criminal organization.

An administration comprised entirely of cartoon villain henchmen is the only thing keeping us in the game
It's quite an experiment to have a government run by the dumbest people on the planet.
Over on Xitter the Attorney General is pointing to a study that only goes through last year to claim she's fixed the fentanyl crisis.

My twelve-year-old daughter's Christmas haul included a cassette Walkman and a Discman, and music to play on both.
Yes, part of it is STRANGER THINGS. But part of it is the seemingly inevitable swing towards throwback tech, coupled with the current longing to be LEFT ALONE TO LISTEN TO SHIT

I used to think that smartphones and streaming were a mistake because giving people the illusion of access to everything all of the time would break us irreparably, but this & returns to iPods, DVDs, records, etc prove that people just want to be people, not 24/7 consumers and marketing targets.

The entire right wing media apparatus is in a rabid frenzy saying every childcare is fraudulent and now people are showing up to random daycare centers demanding to see the children and screaming at daycare workers. This is absolutely insane and I worry this is going to end in a major tragedy.

Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

Daycare centers were also the primary target of the Satanic panic, because fundamentally American religious conservatism is opposed to women having jobs outside the home.
Trump guys are about to Comet Pizza every third daycare center because they think they are all fronts for Somali money laundering. They're only doing this near cities with progressive mayors. This is straight up Government by LibsOfTikTok.

An honest discussion on this, though you can't really have one about something so cynical and twisted, is that the cuts DOGE and Trump made to the IRS enforcement will cost taxpayers more than any alleged cuts, likely even including the gutting of Medicaid and food stamps.

Mr Michael Jackson put it nicely when he said start with the reflection in your mirror
There is no path out of Nazism that runs through major magazines, PR stunts, speaking tours, television appearances, public office, or celebrity.
A BIG part of the process is sitting quietly out of the public eye as you learn to own your sins.

When turbulent weather with whipping winds and heavy snow is in the forecast, meteorologists sometimes warn that a storm could "bomb out" or become a bomb cyclone. https://to.pbs.org/4qB6AwO
How bomb cyclones form and create dangerous conditions
Such rapidly strengthening storms are capable of producing heavy rain, blizzard conditions and intense winds that can create dangerous conditions such as downed trees and power outages.
