Locked in a room alone with an endless swarm of flies he can pull the wings off of and a disembodied robot voice laughing and praising him each time he does it...

Your friendly neighborhood firefighting friend recommends against cooking your turkey in oil because things go wrong frequently enough that the risk/reward ratio tips too far towards: "Fuck, I don't like firefighters enough."
There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Am I the only one who thinks the example of loss of self control over oneself that might be first noted here is not whether one avoids saying stupid, awful, or revealing things...
... but rather stopping oneself from sexually molesting children?

Yes, Tom, Trump has a long history of maintaining superlative control over himself, like back in 2005 when he admitted to being a serial sexual assailant on a live mike with Billy Bush—who he did not know well—and several other people who were strangers to him
Great personal self-control, the BEST

“Donald Trump seems to have lost control over the one thing every person, and especially those with immense power, should always maintain control over: himself,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

This is the sort of shit that happens in a sci-fi novel when some smartass inventor isn't careful messing about with time travel and causality.
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--
TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

I look forward to the Heritage Foundation's paper describing how Trump and the U.S. Govt ought be designated "Domestic Terrorist Organizations" and delineating the things that will qualify as "Terrorist Threats".

Trump's Anti-Trans Report Authors Revealed: Hate Groups and Billionaire-Funded Anti-Trans Activists
The majority of the “expert” comments cited in the “peer review” seem to be just as ignorant as the authors about the reality of trans people’s care.

If you still think trans women playing sports with other women is somehow unfair or a problem at all...
... you should consider who your fellow travelers on that road are, and what that says about the path you're choosing to walk.

"Ride or die" Dems?
Easy when they're not the one doing the dying.
How about a Dem who supports what ICE is doing?
One who supports anti-choice laws?
What line...whose rights and humanity are they willing to sacrifice? Just trans folk? Then they're just a conditional bigot. A part time fascist.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

They're counting on no one really giving a fuck about Trump or Republicans doing horrible shit because that's old news. Expected.
But Dems? "You fucking guys are supposed to be better. WTF?"
Coverage will be entirely one sided.
Their thinking: If everyone sucks, no one sucks. "But whattabout...?"

the sudden break of all the republicans in congress on this, along with trump's sudden change in attitude over the release of these files, tells me that they have figured out some bullshit to give him cover
I can't believe this moment in time is real.
