About the first rule in negotiating is “don’t negotiate against yourself” and it was practically the first thing Trump did.

immediate sanewashing is standard

One could argue that having gone through puberty as a male people might have a bigger frame which could be advantageous in some cases (basketball, track) but in my mind, this is more an argument for puberty blockers than against athletics

Mushrooms are the great undertaker, the great decomposer. The Langoliers. They are just waiting to eat you, and they’re happy to share their fruits in the meantime. They’re fattening you up. They can wait.

Same but - I was actually relieved Microsoft finally MADE an RDP client for Mac again. What was wrong with RDP for Mac? It was fine and they axed it. But them replacing RDP everywhere is just hilarious.

We’re still so young, we haven’t even killed anyone yet.

quick edit: I do have suggestions tho

Out of Newark

Like JD vance, oh wait we’ve come full circle

He literally came in waving a chainsaw. Hatchet man the entire way, this was preordained.

“The politics of failure have failed.”

Additionally he’s pissing off the last of the boardroom-class GOP, anyone not affected by the tariffs are now watching him tell the biggest retailer in the world they should cut back on profits, fucking profits man, that’s the thing you never cut. This is some super questionable strategy on many levels. Tho the stock market is clearly ready to keep the band playing well into the ship’s sinking.

Let’s be real: Trump aligned himself with someone with -44 charisma and then made him the “chainsaw guy” on purpose, he was a hatchet man, meant to cut shit back and take the heat. I think Elon thought he was doing the using, but ultimately like so many others he was part of Trump’s web of bullshittery, already many seasons in progress when Elon decided to get super political. Now I am guessing he’s regretting it almost as much as we are, but for very different reasons.

The correct response here would be to simply say “no” when they say “can I ask what it is you’re taking.”

I’ll go back. When their trans kid friendly clothing lines return.

Of all the entities in Washington, it’s the GAO and the Library of Congress I’d expect to see pushing back the hardest, and here it is. Good job by people who genuinely care about us.

You can substitute the q-tips out for regular human hair if you’re prepping for tariff season

They could just put a gold-covered iPhone in the shitter and he’d log in and use it

They made everything a conspiracy theory, so now when you try to make a major accusation like this, it just sounds like another bit of noise.

I work in a library, one of my best friends is a librarian, this tracks 100%

edit: Notably they didn’t wait for law enforcement to appear, they called capitol police proactively and probably saved the day in doing so. No one wants (…another…) photo op opposing capitol police.
