Being an American civil servant in 2029 will quite possibly suck shit, and I cannot wait to be one.

i will go to work for the government if this occurs simply because someone has to

Zoomer Antimillenarian ♨️ @surcomplicated.bsky.social · Jan 28

The simple answer is that we rebuild the federal bureaucracy from close to scratch, after purging every single person brought in under MAGA hiring rules.

Perfectly possible, happened before. Would still suck along the way, but we'd get back to having an effective govt.

Though there is something nice about recreating the feeling of an egg being cradled in a carton late at night.

Yeah, felt that one. I know the “mattress stores are all money laundering fronts” meme gets passed around often, but in reality it’s just us paying 90% markup for a piece of foam.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

Future me talking to a leftist after time traveling to 2005:
- “In 30 years Bill Kristol will be CIA Director, doing an unprecedented amount of regime change.”
- “Oh God, who’s the president?”
- “A socialist former bartender. The military industrial complex loves her.”
Their head promptly explodes

One of the reasons to reject the obligatory demands for conservative affirmative action in liberal institutions is that the people who take advantage of it almost invariably function as a fifth column explicitly dedicated to destroying the institution from within.

Fond memories of 2020, when it was decided by the media that it was definitionally impossible for Republicans to be homophobic even if they opposed SSM or gay rights, in the same way that "everyone agrees" that racism is bad, ergo nobody important can ever be accused of racism.

An exchange in tonight's VA Gov debate:

AS: My opponent has previously said that she does not think gay couples should be allowed to marry.

WES: That’s not discrimination!

AS: She said that she is, quote-unquote, morally opposed to same-sex marriage.

WES: That’s not discrimination! (1/2)

The United States of America is an overwhelmingly urban country. Land doesn’t vote. We should do everything we can to disrupt the historic vestiges of power disproportionately held by rural areas.
Backwaters like Bentz’s district can go suck it.

“It’s not war ravaged. It was war ravaged. And the damage that’s been done to Portland is really, really, really sad. …"

Portland is ‘not a war zone’ but bears scars of 2020, Oregon’s only GOP member of Congress says

“It certainly is war ravaged,” the eastern Oregon representative said, noting he wants Portland police to “step up and do their job.”

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 11h

As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”

As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’

Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."
