guacamolegate. or maybe guacamoleghazi? let’s focus-group it.

i like to think these are targeted.

@yoyomorena! now bad guys come right in the front door and steal the data, anyone who resists gets fired. it’s like someone put a “free stuff” sign up at your house and then it wasn’t burglary.

have you ever met a bunch of more pathetic language police? ht @hurricanexyz.bsky.social

i’m still hoping for better. but things are looking pretty stark. it’s been quite a fortnight.

nope. but if we touch the goddam stove because those other motherfuckers voted for it, at least we might remove our collective finger. if we give ourselves some cancer that feels fine for a while, and then down the line our organs just start shutting down, that's a much worse situation.

for how long has it been illegal for a Federal dollar to fund research about gun violence? this is an old GOP tactic. you'd like to think all the dead kids would constitute a backfiring of it but, so far, nope.

yeah. i think a Wired guy put it well. for the moment, Elon is the working head of government while Trump is the ceremonial head of state. Trump as just a resentful old man who likes power and adulation. It’s always about who gets to run the show in his name.

elon was really a last minute coup, like watching a demon get possessed by a demon. the first demon wants an exorcism!

there was a fire in the kitchen and just when mom put it out i left the shower on in the bathroom i am so awesome i saved our home.

a bit oddly, i take some hope in this. when steve effing bannon is calling then oligarchs and using expletives to describe them, maybe something is changing. dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3...

the public sure didn’t like inflation they blamed on the last guy. sure, some parts of the public are insulated. but most of it, most of us, are not.

i worry abt more subtle things, the gutting of state capacity from within, corrupting (and skimming from) Federal payments systems etc. i don’t worry at all abt stuff the public will feel unsubtly in prices. i’m grateful for that. when we actually experience the idiocy we’ve elevated, we’ll learn.

i would like it if i were sure people who understand the law surrounding eg access to federal records and systems (not to mention election law) were noting all the possible violations. maybe from all these experts they are firing, we as civil society should fund some investigators-in-exile.

mad bro disease.

what is it they say about Rome and all the thoroughfares?

i’m sorry about your wank aches. that sounds painful. but i think you could find a friend!
