I feel the need to expand on this. The next size up is Super Nintenders and the family pack is Nintender 64.

Would Nintendo sue me if i opened a millennial restaurant that sold chicken Nintenders?

Libertarianism doesn’t work. Its core assumptions aren’t true. It’s the intellectual equivalent of huffing paint. www.currentaffairs.org/news/this-is...

This is Why You Don’t Let Libertarians Run Your Country

In Argentina, President Javier Milei has screwed the economy up so badly he needs a $20 billion bailout. That’s because his “free market” economics don’t actually work.

I think this is a weasel. We spotted it during a group bird watch down by the Susquehanna. I had to lay on the ground and hold my phone over the wall to get the pic.

It's been said a lot but this is real death of an empire stuff. We have almost 800 military bases; occupying multiple countries. And now we're doing this? I can't help but think this is some kind of cash grab/grift by someone.

MAGA is crashing out harder over Trump putting a Qatari military base in the US than they ever did over him being all over the Epstein files

Trump’s new national security memo (NSPM-7) designates the following as terrorism "indicators":

🟥Anti-capitalism
🟥Anti-Christianity
🟥Anti-Americanism
🟥Extremism on gender
🟥Extremism on race

This encompasses pretty much everybody to the left of MAGA.

Peaceful protests typically do nothing, but the administration wants it to be non-peaceful so they can justify the military stuff. It's a very weird situation.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d

The No Kings protests have been some of the most peaceful and well attended political assemblies in American history. In fact, MAGA has mocked them as a bunch of boomer grandmothers. Now they are apparently terrorists. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Friendly advice to the Trump administration: PLEASE keep putting Steven Miller on TV! Everyone likes him and is very impressed by him, he does not in any way come off as a shrieking little fascist who is naturally repulsive. People love “Steve” and want to hear much more from him! 👍❤️

Trump: "Washington DC is now so safe. Restaurants are booming, nobody is being shot and killed. They come in from Iowa, Indiana, they come from all over the country and the parents end up getting a phone call that their son was killed. Not anymore ... Chicago is safe. Now it's really safe."

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Trump: "Portland, Oregon, where it looks like a war zone. I get a call from the liberal governor, 'Sir, please don't come in, we don't need you.' I said, unless they're playing false tapes, this looks like World War 2."
