Huh. I had not considered that. But yeah, plausible.
(An *interesting* factor, I think, is that this is the first Labour government ever to take office in which every single figure in it came of age *after* the Liberals became a proper third force, and I wonder sometimes if that has weakened Labour's liberal tendency.)

My college roommate's parents were divorced. He lived with his dad but was at his mom's for Thanksgiving. After, while driving back to his dad's house, he realized he was having an appendicitis attack and drove himself to the hospital instead.

An American space hero, retired Naval captain, and Senator is now "under investigation" by a politicized, dangerous, rogue, Trump-corrupted body pretending to be "The Department of Defense" and led by a Brylcreemed clown

As @paleofuture.bsky.social notes in this thread, these images were probably created using Google's Nano Banana Pro image generator. NBP is really good at making photorealistic images that are getting really difficult to spot in the wild.

The data DOGE stole is still out there. The back doors they installed are still in place.
Broke: DOGE is dead
Woke: DOGE was specifically constructed in a way to avoid accountability partially by zombifying the USDS which still exists as an entity
Bespoke: Dead or not, there needs to be a blue ribbon committee and a massive internal cybersecurity review to root out all the damage.

Off to check with the usual Lawsky suspects, but what does it mean for the Comey and James indictments to be dismissed without prejudice when the statute of limitations has now expired?

Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

A lesson I learned in grade school: the only way to earn respect from a bully is by punching him in the nose
Then this today in Punchbowl. Republicans are angry that the White House is "treating them like garbage". You can't act like you aren't worthy of any respect and then complain that you don't get respected. They are reaping what they sowed. (2/2)

Reposting this clip of Harry Enten talking about inflation to make clear that the numbers he cites comes from a poll about how Americans *feel* prices are going up, not percentages of prices increases themselves. It's still not good news for Trump politically.
