A quick post-cruise refresher from me before I do any serious delving into any particular current events:

Fuck fascists
Fuck -phobes
Fuck wealthy sociopaths
Fuck immigrant-haters
Fuck sexists
Fuck anyone who wants to invade Canada and/or Mexico
Fuck vaccine deniers
Fuck this administration
Etc, etc

THIS HAS TO STOP.

Get them out of government. Most not old enough to be elected to anything. One suspects they are part of Musk’s gaming posse.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand.

“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated. This is a very real threat to the American flying public.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Wow. The NYT reports that Acting Deputy AG Emil Bove coached Mayor Eric Adams' attorneys on what to argue in order to get the charges dismissed (namely, that the charges were interfering with the mayor's ability to cooperate with Trump's immigration crackdown): www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...
