I'm from the timeline where Kamala Harris won. Now I'm stranded here in a dystopian hellscape run by a lunatic. To pass the time while I search for a way home, I post my musings on this timeline's news, science, tech, books, & whatever else comes to mind.
Ole Yam Tits made history again today. This is the first time a "president" has ever designated an adjective as a terrorist group.

Jimmy Kimmel is back! It's important to let these corporations know that when they do the right thing, they'll be rewarded, and when they F up, they'll be punished. That's how we maintain our leverage & our power. So go ahead & reinstate your Disney+ & Hulu subscriptions.

On one hand, conservatives are suddenly condemning political violence. On the other hand, they advocate for assaulting protesters and euthanizing unhoused people.

I agree with this. Russia is a hostile nation engaged in an ongoing war of aggression against its neighbor and should be treated accordingly. Russian jets were over Estonian airspace for a full 12 minutes in an incident last week -- completely unacceptable.

It's important to remember that the conservatives whining about political violence from the Left are the same people who staged a coup on national TV because one of their Reddit threads decided the voting machines were too woke.

Fascism must be stopped now, before we get to the "countless deaths and unspeakable horrors" part of the story. Shame on all the big corporations who are aligning with fascists and bending the knee to Lump to protect their profits.

The FBI, the nation's premier law enforcement agency, is literally run by 2 podcasters who were hired for their jobs by a reality TV show host, and when they had to investigate the shooting of a third podcaster, they got the wrong guy at first -- twice. You can't make this shit up.

Double standard much?
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

You're getting this wrong, @msnbc.com. Matthew Dowd is telling it like it is. Charlie Kirk & Donald himself have been inciting violence for YEARS. MAGAs were HUNTING Dem members of Congress ( @aoc.bsky.social for example) on Jan 6. Donald freed those MAGAs on Day One. Lots of SELECTIVE outrage here.
what we need in this moment is a President who can speak to the nation and call for the temperature to be turned down, to unite us together, and to propose bipartisan gun reform to help stem the tide of violence. The exact wrong person is the White House to do this.

Let's not forget in death who Charlie Kirk was in life. It's been said that the dildo of consequences seldom arrives lubed.

According to the Wall Street Journal, there are 1,135 billionaires in the United States. It's time for an excessive wealth tax. No one needs 6 homes and 3 yachts while people are homeless and starving.

No matter what your opinion on Tiktok is, the Tangerine Toddler is mocking the rule of law by setting up an official account on a banned app & continually postponing the enforcement of the ban beyond what the law allows. The ban was passed by Congress, signed by the POTUS, & upheld by the SCOTUS.
