If you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door. If you build the trap to break every year or so, the world will have to keep coming back for more!

Gotta get pedantic here. While filmed first, this ad has to be a sequel given its setting during the later disco era, sort of like SW ep 4 was done first. Also, since he hasn't aged a day, new DD canon has Swayze's character as a dancing vampire!

Better question: Has Trump ever personally purchased a bottle of milk in his adult life, or possibly even in his entire life? Because the answer to that also might very well be no.

It's totally safe. Dogs have heightened awareness. That said, if the dog wants to turn back, you turn back and get the heck out of there.

Of course Trump doesn't want to execute members of Congress. Not personally anyway. He wants them "to be executed." By somebody else. It's called delegation.

IDK, man, that message is pretty vague. Maybe the poster is referring to King George III and using the royal plural, so as to say "hang them George," i.e., hang King George, and noting that George Washington would enthusiastically do that (confusing, for sure, given the two Georges)

And that likely does not account for the very real possibility that most if not all of the IEEPA tariffs collected so far may have to be refunded if SCOTUS agrees with the lower courts that the tariffs are illegal

We need laws binding corps. bc, absent legal restrictions, executives and directors will do anything (no matter how morally questionable) to increase shareholder value; they have a fiduciary responsibility to do precisely that. Pollution, poisoning kids, unsafe products, whatever, if it makes $$$

On the old site, I'd probably ask, "are you new here?" On Bluesky, tho, that is a pretty reasonable request
