I know defeatism or doomerism is out of fashion but I worry that people are still acting like things are normal enough.

Maybe there will be a midterm election this year but I struggle to see how there could be (real) elections in 2028. We have a lot of time between now and then.

42% for abolish ICE without an iota of mainstream elected Democratic buy in, this could be over 60% if they tried even a little.
YouGov poll - In the future, would you support or oppose...

Eliminating ICE as a federal agency?
Support 42%
Oppose 45%

Reducing ICE’s size and funding

At the age of 41 years old I am confronted with my first epistemological ontological ecclesiastical Appalachian Scot Presbyterian conundrum:

If I visit the North of Ireland:

Am I suppose to dislike Catholics or Monarchist more?

All the major indices ended the day UP

The line mages 🧙 📈 performed their rituals and accomplished their goal. We averted disaster, congrats everyone.
Btw the stock market started a little down but has recovered (SP500 up) the people who make the line move have an extremely strong incentive to keep it moving up

like a ouija board where they all think there’s a mystical economy out there but it’s a million little hands who all want the same thing
Our economy is supposedly about to crash and these guys can’t even be bother to start doing it before 9:30.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Ok I just got to the demonstration of the sex-assassin and the counter 5 millennia old teenage boy sex prodigy who sex assassinated the sex assassin in a sex fight

The phrenology is off the charts in this book plus there’s awkward sex assassins and its still better than God Emperor
I haven’t complained about Heretics of Dune bc it’s generally good.

But specifically good is the descriptions of the street scenes of Geidi prime/gamma later in the book
Heretics of Dune is dramatically better than God Emperor and frankly the best book after Dune.

Ok I read some of the tree pruning threads on Reddit and all the people saying the correct things are being down voted by people who, based on what they say, have never grown a fruit tree in their life and are just going on popular woo permaculture vibes

If you want quality fruit you need to work
I don’t know who needs to hear this but you are brave enough to cut off your new fruit tree at knee height

I know it’s scary but you have to have the courage of your convictions

It will be fine

Trees want to grow

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor

he’s the kind of guy they get training from

the whole institution is rotten, throw it out
Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative.

No. ABOLISH ICE.
WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach

KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait

WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts

lol the stock market is only open from 9:30 to 4!

It makes me feel like when I was little and people would say like “oh farmers or people in the past had a rough life bc they had to get up before dawn to feed cows or something”

And here I am, having to get up before dawn my entire adulthood
