ugh, she's one of the worst accounts On Here, but yeah, she's definitely correct. I'm assuming at this point that this is 100% true. I commented several times over the last week that folks were VERY likely to start folding on both sides of the aisles while flights were being intentionally grounded.

absolutely batshit insane take, jfc. *wanting* holiday travel "chaos" is literally saying you want people to die on planes for a shutdown because that's actually what happens in that situation. this is all a fuckin game to some people, man. these are human lives we're talking about here.

they used to print floral patterns on sacks of grain & feed because that's the material that women back in the early 20th century used to make their dresses; employers would often let workers take the sacks home because it was the only thing cheap enough to sew. google 'flour sack dresses'!

Definitely yes. Here's the actual recipe! I've never made this one exactly, but this is *very* similar to an old fashioned custard pie that I make at Xmas, and it's delicious.

labor unions are BY DEFINITION not neutral parties to any discussion of labor in any context, why the fuck would they *ever* agree to give up "full editorial control" over anything they publish about their work & their members?? just find new publishers instead of foisting this on unions!

oh man, they are gonna go AAAAAALL IN on a red scare after Mamdani's win, aren't they?? we're all gonna be so sick of the word "socialism" by the end of the year.

spoiler alert: the median US voter is still dumb as spit. I think that these numbers are (mostly) going to come around as the midterms get closer over the next year, but maaaaan, I have *very* little patience left for these fence-sitters still contemplating their support. this isn't hard, y'all.

Finally playing Far Cry 6 after buying a used copy at GameStop for just $5 almost two years ago and then letting it sit and collect dust on my gaming shelf. Kinda mad at myself for not trying this sooner. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why players review bombed this game. It goes HARD.

okay, I appreciate the point that is being made here, but this list is also ... mostly bullshit? all but like three and a half items on this particular list enjoyed fairly overwhelming public support when they were passed / fixed.

these are some really quick markups I sent to a former coworker over chat yesterday, and it's VERY difficult to draw any conclusions about what all was happening here without actually knowing plans, but yes, I see some very big hints that they actually fucked up what was *supposed* to be a partial.

yeah, I get why we're this angry & want some kind of remedy for it, but "annulling the president's pardons" is treading into batshit crazy land. not only is there simply NO POSSIBLE WAY to do that, but that's also a precedent *we don't want to set*. we really don't want Dems to say this!

I mean, as difficult as this is to imagine for some, there is *usually* an explanation for neurological symptoms other than "spiritual attacks." ngl, an adult child publicly talking like this about a sick parent where I live will pretty much always earn them a visit from Adult Protective Services.

my man, nobody is "sure to win" against Susan Collins, she is literally one of the most talented & successful Republican politicians of the last 60+ years. anyone who says ANY Democrat is a sure thing in Maine clearly has no clue what the fuck they're talking about other than their own vibes.

welp, Young Republicans all across the country are having very normal reactions to the Politico story outing their chats. "Everyone in this article is a patriot and everyone attacking them is a dirty, treacherous, impotent, cowardly, bundle of sticks," is a totally chill, unremarkable thing to say.

look man, you can use your words to describe how bad this was without trivializing an event like the Kristallnacht. yeah, there are some ways in which they superficially look the same, but if you can't find the MANY material & substantive ways in which that was different, that's a you problem.

the gaps here among GOP voters & Dems on both who's to blame and 'not sure' tell the whole story. if I were a Senate Republican staffer looking at these numbers, I would be doing everything I could to get Thune into negotiations with Dem appropriators, stat.

This shit is fucking outrageous. These people are acting like their entire world is ending. I have no idea who this performative bullshit is for, but I know for a fact that history will judge every one of these crazy bastards extremely harshly. A deeply bizarre & damning moment for this country.
