I disagree with Congressman Gonzales that 5-year-old American citizen children are helped in any way by their kindergarten classmates being kisbnapped and disappeared by marked, armed thugs.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

I guess that explains the new food pyramid?
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

As you're nominating your favorite works of 2025, @sentencebender.bsky.social and I would like to note that Red Star Hustle is a NOVEL, and Apprehension is a NOVELLA, so you can nominate both on award ballots.

Those categories are basically used to lump masses of people into faceless groups that apparently all share the same characteristics like automatons.
It’s ridiculous in and of itself, but more importantly it’s now absolutely used to scapegoat and rage bait.
Stop feeding the bs.

Every young person sentence online reads like this to me now:
"Bro entered low-stim flow state doing a 10 min grocery rotation and got mogged by a friendly neighborhood cat 💀 Is proximity-maxxing essentials while touch-grass-pilled more optimal than suburb-meta carbrained bulk errands?"

I grew up adjacent to Quebec, and entirely separate from the content (which I also dig), I fully admit that imagining “Bien bien bien” in Jake Peralta voice is delighting me beyond all measure.
Christophe Colomb a donc "découvert les États-Unis en 1492"...
Voilà voilà. Bien bien bien.
C'est bien sûr grotesque. C'est la même erreur méthodologique que de croire que Clovis aurait "fondé la France" : une lecture téléologique au service d'un roman national.

Seriously though what a monumental fucking bungle. I’m indifferent towards both 5e and Neopets but somehow combining them lights up every furious synapse in my brain

The only thing the Trump admin hasn’t done yet to try and avoid responsibility for a racist meme being posted by Trump is to blame Biden for it.
But that’s coming.
