Data is for nerds/libtards/woke Antifa criminals. That's why the Trump administration (following Project 2025) is working SO HARD to eliminate all numbers, along with those bizarre and probably perverted things that mathematicians do with them, which they taught to economists, who taught the other social sciences. And now look where we are.

So...no more data. Not on inflation--it's your imagination! Not on climate--just so nice 'n' balmy! And definitely not on "election integrity," a thing that we want you to think is a problem when it never has been, but that's how we get to keep YOU from voting.

Only Republicans are this stupid. Honestly.

Is competing with Putin for body count of his own citizens?

“Repeal the 2009 scientific finding “

I didn’t know we can just repeal laws of nature. I’m going to have to remember that. There is so much I want to repeal when I finally get access to Obama’s Time Machine.

1. What is the plan for when the satellites DO fail?

2. Once NASA gets a piece of equipment working, it tends to stay working for a long time. The first Mars Rover outlived its expected usability many times over. V-ger is still out there coasting towards a distant star. Do we have any way of knowing how much longer these weather satellites are likely to last?

People in general are not good at fixing problems at an early state (think of climate change). trumpsters are absolutely, 100%, dedicated to not fixing problems--they're too busy causing them.

"...but we have a president who says the science doesn’t matter and carbon dioxide is harmless now."

For research purposes only, TACO could lock himself in a garage with a vehicle running and see how that works out for him. If it is harmless than he will be fine, right?

You would have to correct for carbon mono-oxide somehow.

Possible explanation: The DOD, despite Hegseth's "leadership", is still run by people who (i) take seriously their duty to our country, (ii) haven't yet sucumbed to Project 2025, and (iii) aren't fuckwits.

For now.

OT. Warning: Not a well done study.

"Men Born in the Summer Are More Likely to Be Depressed, Study Finds

Researchers have found a link between the timing of one's birth and a later risk of depression symptoms, but only in men."

Fortunately I'm a Scorpio. We're happy as clams. And don't let any astrologist say otherwise! They lie when they say we're more likely to sting you than hug you. This is not true. We're born huggers. Just because we don't believe in astrology doesn't mean they have to bag on us. It's the Geminis you need worry about: Split personalities, the lot of them.

Maybe's avatar

How happy are clams on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being an ecstatically happy clam?

gene108's avatar

The study accurately describes me. Maybe correlation is causation?

gallbladder's avatar

I was born damn-near in the middle of it.

I'm fucked.

Pauly2coffees's avatar

Safe by five days. Born on June 16.

blueicebank's avatar

That makes you a Gemini. How many personalities DO you have inside you? /s

Pauly2coffees's avatar

But they’re all really boring.

Say what, now?

NYT: “Thin, White and Right: The Ideal Christian Woman”

“How skinny became a conservative calling card.”

Pexas Teat's avatar

Yeah, the NYT should do one of those Cletus safaris they are so fond of. Like, walk into any church in Alabama to see what I'm talking about.

noname's avatar

Too bad it's NYT, sounds worth reading, if obvious.

Mr Beeep's avatar

The crack helps too though

Pauly2coffees's avatar

I thought it was big fake lips and tiddies.

SkeptiKC's avatar

Shit.

I need to gain some weight.

Thesaurus Wrecks's avatar

I don’t think the New York Times has ever been to a Walmart in the South.

noname's avatar

That's not the Ideal. But, no, I'm sure no one there has ever been to one.

Everywonk! Our faithful captain, Zuludaddy, is being a good citizen and donating blood, so I have been asked to step in for the daily smoking lamp ceremony.

Please light your smoking lamps...NAO!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!!

zuludaddy (seam & key)'s avatar

thaaaaank you JanuaryClaire!

hey everywonk! JC is doing Nice Things hooooraaaaay!

SkeptiKC's avatar

As pissed off and miserable as I've been all damned day I haven't partaken of the calming cannibas. Perhaps that will be just what's required to diminish my currently rather angry, violent tendancies.

JanuaryClaire's avatar

Fingers crossed!

Any update on when your meds will *finally* be available?

gallbladder's avatar

I hope he gets a cookie and a pop afterwards!

zuludaddy (seam & key)'s avatar

this is Rhode Island, so I got three plastic boxes of shitty orange juice and some SunChips which had been provided by the blood center

but also too a local pizza joint contributed a few pies and I grabbed a slice!

SkeptiKC's avatar

They NEVER allow me to donate blood, dammit. First my blood pressure was too LOW and since then I've always been refused because of my weight.

I'm O+ and know that my blood type is the universal variety generally well tolerated by all human beings in emergencies regardless of their blood type.

It's been VERY frustrating.

As has this entire fucking miserable gawd damned day.

zuludaddy (seam & key)'s avatar

(also O+ and I hope you get you your relief very very soon please)

gallbladder's avatar

I too, am a universal donor (O-).

3 pack of sharpies now $800 with tariffs.

Rocket Cat and Last Free Folk's avatar

The kind that smell like raspberries are $1600.

Mr Beeep's avatar

I loved smelly sharpies when I was little. Brown was my favorite, but I can’t remember what it was supposed to be, cinnamon maybe?

Purple was good too.

Rocket Cat and Last Free Folk's avatar

I think brown was chocolate. Black was licorice…

Rocket Cat and Last Free Folk's avatar

I know, right? I could lure a husband with a licorice marker…just draw an arrow

The United States has NEVER been so diplomatically and environmentally insecure.

Or perhaps a more accurate assessment is that we are just fucked.

gene108's avatar

We are fucked, unless we find a to fire the Heritage Foundation, The Federalist Society, Vought, Miller, and every other aspiring Republican fascist in this administration and their billionaire backers into the Sun.

SkeptiKC's avatar

Those Heritage Foundation fuckwits need to be locked up along with Vought, Miller, and ever other yappity fascist shit disturber.

These fuckers need to SUFFER. I am MORE than happy to oblige.

gallbladder's avatar

In that case, fundamentally insecure would apply.

TerseNurse's avatar

'fucked' sums it up quite nicely

...and disempowered by a fast-talked con-man whose single skill is bankrupting businesses.

Now he's fiscally as well as diplomatically bankrupting the US.

He MUST be removed.

A revolution is necessary for the sake of this DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC'S survival. If we don't fight back we DESERVE exactly what this fat orange con-artist does to us.

While they're at it, they seem to be pushing for the elimination of regulations that restrict greenhouse gasses. At this rate there will be no hurricane season, they will simply be year-round events.

gallbladder's avatar

Jupiter's Great Red Spot readily comes to mind.

Pauly2coffees's avatar

Great Orange Spot=Dear Leader’s ass.

R. Riddle's avatar

Jupiter has a raging storm that shows up as a giant red spot.

Ours will be orange.

Menotsure's avatar

I hope it hovers over Mar-A-Lago.

Chemical's avatar

It's a giant storm that's been raging for centuries, and it's not going to go away because Jupiter is a gas giant and there isn't any land to stop the storm

R. Riddle's avatar

A gas giant with a raging storm that will last centuries with nothing to stop it does track with Trump.

Could be. Or just a shared enthusiasm for astronomy.
