"Grammy, is it true that girls used to be able to vote, and have real jobs, and not have babies if they didn't want to?"

"Yes child, we used to be able to do all those wonderful things."

"Why did they stop that, Grammy?"

"Because the price of eggs was too high, sweetie."

If you expect the absolute worst from a Trump presidency, you will never, ever be disappointed.


IMHO this is the best live version of the Pink Floyd classic "Careful With That Axe, Eugene". From an audience recording at the Sport Paleis Vorst, Brussels, Belgium, December 5, 1972. It's one of the few CWTAE performances that features Roger Waters' "Pictish rant" (starting at 4:52), as well as Richard Wright's new echo box.

ND Sen. John Thune’s win as GOP Senate majority leader exposed the first cracks in Trump’s "MAGA-verse" that became more fortified after his decisive election night victory, and who added that MAGA influencers "just don’t carry that much weight in the halls of the Senate." said Columnist Jim Geraghty. He added that Thune’s victory is an indication that “not all of Washington is Trump-ified.”

A second Trump presidency could mean the end of America as a global superpower. No other country will want to touch us with a 10-foot pole. No other country will trust us with their secrets.

Trump's administration appointments so far read like a rogue's list of Batman supervillains.

Trump appoints Matt Gaetz as Attorney General.

Make no mistake: Gaetz will not fairly and justly adjudicate on behalf of all the American people.

He will be Donald Trump's personal lawyer, dispensing injustice and retribution in equal measure when demanded by the Fascist-in-Chief.

CoSo,

As we watch the US get broken up and sold for parts--a victim of greed and ignorance--the rarity and value of this platform grows.

For seven years, @th3j35t3r has prioritized our safety and experience. He has never sold us out or worked an angle to profit from us.

He has given us the means to connect organically and without manipulation.

Now, more than ever, we need this place.

Let's get to 100% community funded this month.

Help, if you can

The next global pandemic will kill millions of Americans. Donald Trump, Elon Musk and MAGA Republicans will see to it personally, by imprisoning everyone who dared to use science and common sense to fight successfully against the last one.

Republicans retain control of the House, CNN projects, giving the party sweeping power following presidential and Senate victories. cnn.com/2024/11/13/politics/ho

Trump lied, cheated and stole for a second presidency, and he got it, by hook and by crook.

Why does he look so miserable?
Because winning and leading are two very different things.

On November 15th, Twitter(X) will update its Terms of Service to remove the opt-out for allowing user content to be used to train their AI.

If you know anyone who's on Twitter and is tired of being a commoditized product, please let them know this change is coming, and suggest they move to an alternative social media service as soon as possible.

The alternative service? Isn't it obvous? 😉

November 13th marks the beginning of Transgender Awareness Week, a week dedicated to raising visibility for transgender people and addressing the issues that members of the community face. It leads up to Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) on November 20th, which honors the memory of those who lost their lives to anti-transgender violence.  

Senate Republicans select Sen. John Thune of South Dakota as their new leader, replacing longtime GOP stalwart Mitch McConnell. t.co/2DPN56Xzzy%20https://t.co/xLAFd3pWcZ

Before Musk, Twitter was one of the most important journalistic outlets in the world. Now The Guardian, one of the most important newspapers in the world, has abandoned it.

The purpose of America's border walls will radically change over the next four years of a Trump administration.

Originally built to keep unwanted outsiders from entering the country, they will eventually function more to imprison Americans who are looking to escape a country devolving into an armed camp of fascism and religious mania.

The success of the Republican party is based on training people to be proud of their shitty behavior instead of feeling guilty for it. An undercutting of the very fabric of society. A nation of self-righteous, selfish bullies.

Jack Smith will step down as Special Counsel before Donald Trump takes office.

The move will allow him to finish his report and leave the job before he can be fired.

A critical mass of voters simply did not hear about [trump's] positions, or did not believe them if they did. (The most bleak thread in this story are interviews with unauthorized immigrants who say they would have voted for Trump if they could, assuming that surely he would not deport them, as they’re honest and hardworking folks.)

NEW TRUMP "PROMISES":

1. A new national University w/free tuition.

2. Ten new “freedom cities”.

3. A new countrywide missile defense system.

4. Manned missions to Mars.

5. Completion of the southern border wall.

6. Cut the overall federal budget by 33%.

Oh, and Mike Huckabee will achieve peace in the Middle East.

If you believe he'll keep even one of these promises in the next four years, I have a NFT of a bridge I can sell you.

Trump is appointing Mike Huckabee ambassador to Israel.

This feels simultaneously like the punchline of a really funny joke that I want to laugh my ass off at, and a nightmare that I can't wake up from.
