well, I gave it a shot and put in a request that a certain rancid, putrid sack of puss would "cease to fester" and go away in front of a crowd, but apparently my request was lost in the ether.
It was worth a try.

Verizon sends a suss SMS with a click-bait-y link to their customers?
C'mon @verizon-wireless.bsky.social, this is crap. The wireless industry (you) and FCC have let SMS phishing run rampant so long that we're training folks that "no one legit will SMS you a link" and you do this? WTF?

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

The complete wasting away of previously handy government information is yet another casualty of this moron parade. Guess we can't be calling out Russian APTs on their shit anymore?

I get why a lot of Sci-Fi used plain star fields in their backgrounds, but now we know so much more about how varied space can be (even to the naked eye), why don't we see more of those dots turned into distant galaxies, or novas, nebulas, and clusters?
Dumb question, I know :P

I think:
Everyone in the USG should have to pass a citizenship test.
Everyone in DHS (CBP, ICE, etc.) must also pass a psych eval and background check.
Anyone in a Constitutional Role (POTUS, Congress, SC) should have to pass a constitution-specific test.
Published results for all.

Maybe someone should project a news feed onto Johnson's residence or workplace so that he can see and hear of all of these cases he claims to know nothing about?
The Fox Politburo echo chamber & selective hearing are poor habits & traits for an informed government employee to lean on.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Do we really believe that only the DoJ has copies of the Epstein Files!
What if they’re just a layer of blackmail material that adversaries are holding over the GOP’s heads?
If they’re released by Congress, maybe there’s a lot more than those files and the people they implicate at stake?

What pisses me off is that the projects and programs being cancelled are in the states providing most of the funds used by all Federal departments and programs.
Can the blue states defund the fascist regime and stop providing tax revenue?

VARNEY: You canceled almost $8b of energy projects, most of them in blue states. Are you punishing the blue states?
CHRIS WRIGHT: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars ... do you want to subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia?
(That's not a no!)

Does anyone else have a spouse who constantly second guesses Apple Maps or Google/ Waze, defies the route, and then incurs a ETA penalty of karmic proportions? just me?
I distrust AI as much as anyone but this application seems a perfect one.

With absolutely no relevance to current events, I wonder if Tony Gilroy has put together a reading list of histories and works that influenced his awesome writing for #Andor?
That would be a fascinating list and an educational boon.

Democrats need to do some cleanup of parasitic and fear mongering hangers on. I totally agree that we need much better messaging from the leadership, but if they suck and instead, we’re inundated by this predatory crap, freedom will be lost.
