The tactic of contrived "investigations" into "fraud" worked so well against Tim Walz, Trump is taking the playbook national.
My man @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is exploring ways we can avoid paying the mad king his federal taxes since he's not keeping up his end of the bargain
The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."

Remember when Dems folded and got nothing and everyone was so happy and patting themselves on the back about getting the Epstein Files released and they just blacked everything out and started deleting shit and now they're bombing Venezuela because we re-opened the government. Anyway
If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

I think the news keeps doing a disservice with these by not posting what the original posts were.

It was literally just posting his own words.

I can understand why an institution would want someone out if they were dancing on someone's grave or something, but "Here's what this person said in life that was relevant to their death" with zero commentary is honestly a wild thing to fire someone for. Even if it was someone I liked.

People who have lived under regimes with actual state media, does this sound as much like state media as I think it does?

I think it feels more state media than Fox bc it’s trying to lull you to sleep instead of getting you over the head with ideology

Each day feels more and more like I've somehow woken up in a sort of negative counterpart universe that exists literally as inverse of all that is rational, right, or real. Literally bizarro world.

lol we are in a hole that is far deeper than some of us thought..
If you made a Venn diagram of every weird person I knew in Silicon Valley during the first dot-com boom, centrifuged it, extracted the pellet, and re-suspended it in high-proof eugenics with a splash of AI, you'd end up with something like this.

WSJ Minimum wage article author's wife.

"Riley was a blogger for the Chronicle of Higher Education until she was fired in 2012 after writing a blog arguing for the elimination of Black Studies at university departments"
Holy freaking yikes.
Didn't think I'd see a hotter take today, then saw his spouse wrote this article about why black studies need to be a banned subject, justifying it by saying what appears to be "because black people are too stupid".

people were joking about how republicans broadly dont know how to govern they just keep looking for another manager to report grievances to and it turns out the problem is bipartisan across the governing class

Amazing to live in a country where every day you can watch Republicans gin up issue salience out of nothing but attitude and 4chan posts and a sizeable chunk of people think Democrats' only power is to vote yes or no on bills placed in front of them

Mass exodus from corporate and cable media is a necessity at this point. Serious, immediate reform will be necessary.
one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

This thread applies to far more than just gaming. If you have a public-facing facility and aren't asking people who display antisocial behaviors to leave, pretty soon all you are going to have are the antisocial customers.
I spent an excessive number of years moderating a gaming forum and I learned a great deal about community spaces and cultivation, whether I wanted to or not. I have critical advice for anyone who runs a game store or gaming convention. Please share this thread with people who run those things.

This is what should happen which is why there's a 99% chance it won't because ole' Chuckie doesn't want to work unless it's talking to the imaginary family inside his smooth as silk brain.
This is something Dems should legit shut down the government over. If he wants to destroy NATO, he can do it with zero dollars and zero cents in government funding.
This is a direct response to the European statements. It’s an attempt at a palliative.

It’s still the worst act the United States has pondered since the Mexican War and it think there’s an least a 50% chance it happens.

NATO is basically over unless Senate Rs like Senator Kennedy build a barrier.
