Crazy cat lady. Not aspiring to be humble. 💙
Make America dumb again? I mean, most intelligent civilian Americans could see the truth before the first Israeli bombs dropped. Then, our idiotic, egotistical wanna-be-king got involved. So easily manipulated. 🙄
Let me say again: Iran said it had a new enrichment facility. The IAEA was about to go see a new (empty) enrichment facility. But before that could happen, Israel struck other facilities in Iran -- but not the new one. See the problem? 10/17

Just to recap:
-- Trump admin concedes they don't know if Iran's supply of uranium was destroyed
-- Some intel suggests that both the uranium and much of the equipment for developing weapons had already been moved from the targeted sites
-- The world is probably less safe than it was on Saturday

He was humiliated last weekend. This weekend he bombed someone.
My guess is there is a relationship between those two events.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

Nightmare scenario. 😱
Terrifying! A humpback whale briefly swallowed a kayaker off Chilean Patagonia before quickly releasing him unharmed.
"I thought I was dead," kayaker Adrián Simancas said. "I thought it had eaten me, that it had swallowed me."

Holy shit, the mumbling of this inept moron is unbelievable. People tragically lose their lives and this fucker stands behind a podium with the seal of the president of the US and makes complete fool of himself. What an embarrassment!

Facts.
The sad reality is, the overwhelming majority of Americans don't know there's a voter for the Speaker going on, don't care & won't be able to name him after the vote. This is what happens in a country where civics education is no longer universal. Its absence lets darkness settle in over democracy.

Musk's opinion piece for the German paper Die Welt, endorsing a right-wing extremist political party, matters a lot more for us than you might think, so I spent some time putting together a look at German politics, Musk's views, and the reaction to them. joycevance.substack.com/p/musk-in-di...
Musk in Die Welt
It did not take long for Eva Marie Kogel, the opinion editor at Die Welt, Germany’s paper of record, to decide what the right thing for her to do was.

Gaslighting: The Republican way. Unfortunately, the lack of critical thinking abilities + the willingness to be bamboozled among Trump supporters only encourages these billionaire grifters to be more and more corrupt. 1/2
You may not understand why, but the healthcare insurance and PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX , @X, along with CEOs of other big companies , have more impact on healthcare costs and quality of care in this country, than anything you can do with DOGE

This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).

You know how in your forties or fifties everything in and about your body just starts becoming a bit crappy and you know it's not going to get better in your lifetime? That's what happened to America starting in 2015—we may have hit the point at which the generation that'll fix this isn't alive yet.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.
Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Judge Merchan takes Trump's sentencing date off the calendar while the parties brief Trump's motion to dismiss the case & vacate the conviction. Sad day for the rule of law.
