President Goodbrain can't remember what he said five days ago.
Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”

Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”

Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

A great many people in the United States need to be visited by the Three Ghosts of Christmas to be reminded of what this season means, and why its spirit should be held all year.

I'm becoming interested in the general phenomenon of norm equilibria that are getting shattered, and whether/ when that results in a new worse equilibrium.

Widespread pardons for Republicans convicted of corruption (see also Santos), the end of FCPA enforcement...

Just a reminder that Texas abortion laws are being weaponized by abusers to hunt down their victims, and police & Flocked are aiding them in this dangerous abuse, while LYING about the women they're hunting down. They aren't concerned abt victims - they're only concerned with hurting women.

I'm really confused why modern hotels seem to go out of their way to make it impossible to put on makeup? Our hotel room has a dim light in the shower, and one of those ghastly, blue-white lights that go around the mirror. The lighting makes everyone look like a corpse, while washing out 1/

We've normalized the fact that a US President is using economic policy to punish entire nations over free speech.

And the tools being used were never meant to rest in the hands of one person alone.

Interesting that media personalities can advocate for murdering homeless people, but keeping Trump accountable warrants free speech violations by his administration's #fcc. #abc and #disney are cowards. I don't even like #kimmel, and I'm fine with canceling my subscriptions with The Mouse.

If MAGA is making the argument Kimmel deserves to be fired for saying something incorrect and thus violating FCC guidelines, well then, so be it.

You also have to cancel Watters, Gutfeld, and Ingraham, who all said without evidence that Kirk's killer was the far left and incited a lot of hate.

MAGA: “Political violence has no place in our society”

Also MAGA: unlimited death threats and jokes about Paul Pelosi’s attempted murder.

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee all voted to require the release of the Epstein files.

Republicans are voting to prevent their release.

SHAME on the Republicans for covering up the Epstein files. Know their names. judiciary.house.gov/about/member...

The law is very clear: No one, not even the president, can use the U.S. military for community policing

I recently visited an ICE detention center with @ravenreveals.bsky.social just outside of Chicago. Kidnapping people off the streets isn’t keeping us any more safe.

Let’s close this facility and all the other ones like it down.

I was looking through my old posts on FB for a genealogy post & instead found one I'd forgotten existed, abt something shaking my ankle violently one morning to wake me up.

There was no one there or awake to do the shaking. I appreciated it at the time because I was sleeping thru my alarm for work

Six Flags: We don't know why attendance is down?

*Customers, pointing at SF nickle & diming once included experiences, rides closing down due to maintenance, CS issues, parks being homogenized instead of keeping the local flavor*

Six Flags: So mysterious. So strange. I guess we'll never know!

I didn't buy the season pass this year because of the lowered quality of experience at Oceans of Fun & broken rides last year, plus, the division of day attendance & night attendance for @worldsoffun.bsky.social Haunt screwing up taking my family for a full day of spooky fun....

I genuinely wish Independence, KS' Neewollah's festival was a true Halloween festival like Irving, ILor Anoka, MN. It started out as one, but it's been tamed down to kind of a general community festival. I still enjoyed it when I attended, but there's so much potential (and money) left on the table.

Conservatives losing their mind over the Cracker Barrel rebrand are HILARIOUS. It's still an ugly color, it's still an ugly shape (just w/o the weird kidney bean surrounding the name)- if anything, it got even blander & I know y'all adore bland things. Y'all miss "Grandpa with a barrel" THAT much?
