Somebody made up a cocktail that they called "The Reflecting Pool". I'm working from memory here, but it's rum, pineapple juice, blue curacao, and part of a fruit roll-up. The finished result is the exact right shade of green, plus the fruit roll-up = the vinyl liner.
"Except that they apparently get real offended when people cuss in front of Donald Trump’s piece of shit, cheap-ass, brokedick, badly contracted, badly renovated Reflecting Pool.
Don't forget green sludge filled and mosquito riddled!
Yeah, all of that, but the "they sent in Mongolians" sounds like an urban legend. Something Chinese are not immune from any more than Westerners. Even if she was there. The well-documented facts on who was sent in are available in many places. As well as the facts about Mandarin fluency in Inner Mongolia.
So touching a piece of blue paint that came unstuck and floated to the top of the pool is "Destruction of Government Property" but knocking down the White House to build a personal ballroom for yourself is not?
I don't want to step on anybody, so I'll drag this AI thing over here. This HUGE effort to downplay the impact of water usage, which has even crept into the commentary of otherwise AI-skeptical people is horribly pernicious, and logically misplaced.
I recently saw an article that purported to relate the "facts," of water usage, insisting that the amount of water used by data centers is less than that used to water golf courses or x-many acres of corn. This, of course, is pure propaganda. The impact on available water can not be expressed as a percentage of some nationalized amount.
One million gallons of water a day is, sure, the amount used by 10,000 people on a theoretical municipal system. However, 1M gallons of water in Ohio is very different, in value and availability than 1M gallons of water in Nevada. Water is not just water.
The propaganda relies on the fact that 80% of the US population lives east of the 100th Meridian, and so they have no fucking clue how water is allocated in the Western United States, where most of the planned data centers are to be constructed.
ETA: The vast majority of people who live west of the 100th Meridian don't actually understand water rights, either.
OH new data center commercial during the hubby's reruns of copganda
Now not only are they "paying for every watt of electricity" they use and only using "recycled water, not drinking water" but now they are putting Billions into Virginia's economy and supporting our schools and first responders!
Waiting for the claim that they have cured some child hood disease before my bingo card of lies is filled
also removing algae and defective liner from fetid pit in dc, annoying fruit labels, eradicating ticks, kudzu and waxy, yellow buildup on kitchen linoleum floors. BINGO!
Both live versions of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘪𝘤𝘬 are coming to Netflix...In July both 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘪𝘤𝘬 the one-season series starring Patrick Warburton from 2001 and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘪𝘤𝘬: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 the two-season Amazon Prime Peter Serafinowicz version...
I enjoyed both of them and they strike me as the kind of "sit in the air conditioning and drink too much" fare that works well during heatwaves...
Even in the future where Trump becomes Bush the Lesser v 2, they will claim they a: did not vote for him and b: he was right about everything anyway.
This is why trying to convert his supporters is a fool's errand. It is tough to write off friends, family members, co workers, neighbors, etc as a lost cause, it hurts us personally, but probably way past time we accept that.
Jorge Erazo made a perilous trek through the jungle, crossed the U.S. border to seek asylum and eventually found work remodeling homes in Florida...
After entering the United States in early 2021, at a time when tens of thousands of Venezuelans were seeking asylum, Mr. Erazo lived briefly in New York before moving in with John Mendoza and his wife in Doral.
He worked to send money to his wife and young children, who were living in Peru at the time, said Andrea Aguirre, Mr. Mendoza’s wife. Late last year, Mr. Erazo moved to Orlando, Fla., because the cost of living was cheaper than in South Florida. But he was detained by a local police officer outside a Walmart and ultimately deported despite his pending asylum claim and work permit, the couple said.
Mr. Erazo was not wholly disappointed. With the money he’d made working in the United States, Ms. Aguirre said, he bought an apartment in La Guaira and reunited with his wife and children, ages 12 and 6.
It was the apartment that is believed to have collapsed, she said. Late Thursday afternoon in Doral, Ms. Aguirre said she had heard from neighbors of Mr. Erazo in Venezuela that he and his family had perished.
Also, shame on the fucking NYT for saying he was not wholly disappointed because he bought an apartment and reunited with his family. What the fuck else was he going to do once deported?
So this chud showed up in my feed. Apparently, his nuts are in a bunch because the star of Supergirl has opinions that aren’t his.

GREAT description.

FEMA Official Who Claimed He Teleported To Waffle House Gets Beamed Out of Agency
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/fema-official-who-claimed-he-teleported-to-waffle-house-beams-out-of-agency/
Is what he claimed any loonier than what RFK has claimed?
HA! Someone here called that. That the admin would lie low for a few months and they quietly ship him the fuck outta there.
Can't remember who, but props to you whomever you are, come and get your internet prize

"Paying for every watt!" at a discounted rate, with consumers making up the difference.
"recycled water!" until there isn't enough recycled water and/or they discharge it into fresh water "oops!"
"putting billions into Virginia's economy!" after taking it out with tax breaks
"supporting our schools and first responders!" expansive hand gestures
"expansive hand gestures"
I like that and will have to remember to use it. To assist my recall, I can rely on the recognition that expansion often accompanies wanking.
yeah that last one made me angry. They're claiming they are supporting them...how? By paying the "taxes" they do not actually pay?
Mother fuckers. What happened to truth in advertising?
Corporations, who have rights, screamed about "first Amendment!" and the courts caved like a jello salad.
It's the "support the economy - give us tax breaks" bullshit that gets me. How about show me the numbers?
The water part is easily handled with closed loop cooling, but that costs moar money. The electricity part is harder.
oh oh oh they claimed they made all this tax revenue and I was like lol no, cause Trumpkin gave you fuckers a sweetheart deal
Lies lies and more lies.
Course Abby killed some of those, but it is still pretty eyebrow raising watching them claim something they must do by law is somehow nice of them
edit: also they ain't using closed loop. They're dumping it right back in the streams they got it from, only hotter
expect a population surge in blinky, the 3 eyed feesh from springfield

The writers get bonus points for using "comprise" in a proper transitive construction.

Have not seen the second iteration, but SPOON! plan on watching it.
That's a whole LOT of ninjas.
Definitely too many Santas.
SPOON!
How big does a lie have to be before even Trump supporters stop supporting him?
So tall you can't climb over it, so deep you can't get under it and so wide you can't get around it.
that would be him. epic eli lilly fail
See "Don't Look Up"
They will never, ever, ever stop supporting him.
Even in the future where Trump becomes Bush the Lesser v 2, they will claim they a: did not vote for him and b: he was right about everything anyway.
This is why trying to convert his supporters is a fool's errand. It is tough to write off friends, family members, co workers, neighbors, etc as a lost cause, it hurts us personally, but probably way past time we accept that.
Trying to convert his supporters is like "mud wrestling with a pig"
Unfortunately, we also have the Democratic establishment trying hard to not read the room..
It is their collective super power
It's a bit early for a koan.
