This is the ultimate “bring back a past I’m nostalgic for without recreating any of the material conditions that made that possible.” Peak MAGA brain.
Sean Duffy, the U.S. transportation secretary, has been urging people for the past week to dress and comport themselves better as a way of restoring “civility” to air travel. On Tuesday, he added another item to his list of concerns: the quality of the snacks handed out on commercial flights.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Wants Healthier In-Flight Snack Options
Sean Duffy, who has been promoting greater decorum among air travelers, said he would like to see choices besides salty pretzels and buttery cookies.

the fact that the news media isn't blasting across every front page of the country how completely unhinged the president is on a 24/7/365 basis, tells me that the news media is completely complicit in Trump's regime.

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.

I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

If you had an employee who constantly bullshitted you, lied about work, then pulled an "aww, shucks" like this they would be out on their ass before lunch.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.

I was briefly a paste-up artist (ha, me an "artist"!) and the transition he's talking about was indeed huge. I remember, later, doing layout in Quark and physically delivering the disks to a print shop!
Interesting documentary about the final decades of print production, how art was produced & prepared for publication before the Mac changed everything. All meticulously done by hand, using skills now forgotten. I experienced a decade of this world when I began my career.

Great stuff.

This film explores graphic design production from the 1950s through the 1990s, from letterpress and paste-up, to photocomposition and PDF.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.

In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

Karoline Leavitt's brother says his only concern is for his son. The mother of his child can rot in hell.

I bet he wears a big shiny cross around his neck too.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:

If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.
So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

Two people were shot at a gas station in my rural town in Mississippi today.

I guess 500 troops are gonna have to be taken away from their families during the holidays to come occupy my small town now too, huh?
