I'm startled that's there's any expectation that George W. Bush would do something positive for the United States. He is a coward and a liar and someone who can only be praised for the adroitness with which he dodged the shoes one sensible man hurled at him.

Pager bombs are something only a terrorist would do.

"We can't afford to be innocent.
Stand up and face the enemy.
It's a do-or-die situation.
We will be invincible.
And with the power of conviction,
There is no sacrifice.
It's a do-or-die situation.
We will be invincible." -- Pat Benatar

In 2024 it should be okay to criticize a group of people committing atrocities and justifying it by saying they were chosen by God.

@georgepenney Self checkout is one of our society's greatest failures. Every one of those machines deserves thirty seconds of sustained gunfire.

Hillary Clinton is a goddamn rockstar.

JD Vance is the guy who read the Lord of the Rings and thought that Sauron should have won.

@RickiTarr In some ways the CEOs are like angry dads who won't stop driving even though they're lost and tired.

@thomasfuchs I was thinking more about the reaction to Kyle Gass' remarks and the general sense that anti-Trump rhetoric needs to be turned down for a while, an idea I strongly disagree with.

The societal rules that say we shouldn't make fun of Donald when he's hurt are perfect examples of the norms he's done the most to destroy.

I don't understand this sense that Donald's success is inevitable. I can't imagine any Democrat changing their vote and the attempt itself tells us that there was at least one Republican who was never going to vote for him.

@WarnerCrocker It's a nice message but it's seven years old. The world is a very different place now.

It's funny that people pretend that Kristi Noem is failing a test of moral quality when anyone willing to serve as Donald's VP must, by necessity, be an absolute pile of garbage.

Some data centers are still using potable water for cooling.

That is to say that the machines in Reno, for example, may have better water than the humans in Flint.

@br00t4c O'Leary is an ignorant asshole. I remind the group that he thought the name of the daughter of Demeter (kidnapped by Hades) was pronounced 'Purse-uh-foan.'

It's obscene that someone's religious beliefs can affect someone else's ability to access medical technology.

#FourthWorldNation

There's real irony in a conservative criticizing socialism and government interference while driving on publicly-funded highways in an $80,000 truck paid for with farm subsidies.

@eaton Or, you could just write without assistance, like humans used to do.

I wish people would stop pretending that Joe Biden is the president of Israel.

@ErikJonker To hell with all of them.
