Republicans want to know what Trumps plans are to help their races in the midterms. I love this part.
“The 79-year-old president has amassed a $300 million midterm war chest, but the GOP campaign committee and super PACs still don't know how he plans to allocate those funds”
Lol, it’s like they wake up every day and forget what Trump is. He’s not parting with any of it.
I was reading of local white people in Minnesota adding Mexican flags to their car just to cause the Ice dorks to waste time and resources pulling Americans over.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the AI-generated medical, history, and physics books. Is our children learning? Who nose?! Just remember that the leg bone is connected to the hip bone, doc, and everything should be a-okay.
I admire the resolve my Polish and German ancestors had in leaving their homelands when they realized that there was no hope left. 2015 should have prompted me to do the same with this Shithole on the hill.
Husband’s grandma died last night. She was very much a lady of her time and place. She was always very sweet to me—welcomed me from the moment I met her. Tiny little bird of a lady.
It would have been nice to know her better. When we first met she already had some dementia. Five years ago she was moved into a memory care place. She had no clue who I was, which was fine. She didn’t know most people. I could see how it scared and frustrated my mother in law.
This looks to be the start of a horrible year here.
At one level this is just using machines to replicate the old Harlequin factory approach where some pretty good (and bad but popular) authors get started. But that's also like saying you want to emulate trash and are too lazy to even edit the output.
It's 951 am Eastern and I just learned who won the superbowl. (By accident, the same way I learned who was playing. Something which happened yesterday morning, lol)
You didn't miss anything as far as the football game is concerned: dull, boring, and inconsequential. But the halftime show was super, the only thing worth seeing and hearing, a lesson in culture, history, and good music.
The refrain at our local ICE protest when grievances against Trump and the feds were listed out was "SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!"
Unfortunately, the local Democratic party was conspicuously absent from the protests, and that left a power vacuum filled by the local Socialist party alongside the immigrant and anti-discrimination groups. This is NOT a good look if the Democrats want to break free of the "both parties are the same" rallying cry, as the PSL students opened with complaints against Tim Walz for calling the national guard on the protestors.
I was hearing that Bad Bunny was not even paid to perform? Apparently they don't pay the Super Bowl performers, any of them. You are supposed to build your own stage and perform for free, just for the exposure. Seems kinda fucked up to me.
Neither dancers or backup vocalists, either. When I was in college, my women's glee club sent 20 girls out to be backup singers for the Superbowl that was being held in Atlanta (that would have been in 2000.) They did not get paid, but the university did pay for the bus to drive them there and back for the rehearsal and the performance, and I think the performance comped their outfits and their meals.
Trump calls the Spanish-speaking entertainment at the Super Bowl halftime "a slap in the face" to America. I say Trump is a self-administered slap in the face to our country.
Science! I’ve got some hed gif info for ya: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/hat-throwing-fungus

Spore-hurling is a botanical Olympic event.
Git out the way, I'm throwing today!
Talk about throwing ones hat in greener pastures!
Honestly, propelling one’s essence out of a pile of poop to greener pastures only to land in a new pile of poop has to be a metaphor for our times.
Better than watching a turret toss!
As I recall those things did a number on Mr. Spock
To rhapsodize on fungi
Has left me at a loss
When I look at dung I
Just can't come across.
The 2028 Rethuglican Primaries!

Fungi are actually fascinating. Unless you are having to make periodic trips to the dermatologist or podiatrist.
My brother asked me how on earth I did not like mushrooms and I told him I was not a fun guy.
I think I got a noogie for that one.
And well you should have!
Yes. You probably did.
But everybody knows that for fun guys, a swirlie is indicated.
Aaaaaaah it’s the wokeness zombie fungus!
"Hat thrower fungus (Pilobolus) on rabbit dung" is the alternate name of the toilet paper halftime show for the 2026 Super Bowl.
I wonder if Shartyfartblast's "hair" is actually dead Pilobolus.

Just cats and houseplants downstairs. I wonder which of the two caused the large crashing sound I just heard from the kitchen . . .
If you have a reddit account, you should make a habit of signing off all of your posts no matter the topic with “Fuck ICE.”
Flood the zone. Make the guys monitoring reddit have to write their stupid secret police report on every last knitting grandma on the internet.

America is a fucked up, nasty place.

I'm so sorry for you both! Take good care of Mr Paley and MIL!
I'm sorry for your loss. Hug to you and the family.
Thank you—she was 98 and in pain, so it was…okay? Expected?
Still.
Flooding the market with crap doesn’t sound like a good business model. But romance was never my genre so what do I know.

I didn't watch the game either and have been spending all morning on TikTok seeing all the Benito Bowl joy.
Back when our government actually worked:

Is Trump's power to appropriate Congress's powers unlimited? Can independent agencies stay free of his whims?
