The year is 2037. The Polish right are using the stereotype of the "migrant British plumber" as a rhetorical device to split a rival coalition.

Over at the Daily Telegraph, they're scratching their heads as to why the former mining and steel producinv city of Gliwice in Poland is now 45% more prosperous than Darlington... and why it has new shiny infrastructure... without mentioning EU funds for urban and regional development...

When one ferret manages to knock the bag of treats off a table, they all win.
Three ferrets are halfway inside a bag of treats, snacking away, while their butts and tails are all that can be seen of them.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

I have never seen one of these before and am both appalled by the lack of safety and fascinated that OF COURSE this is a thing that’s possible to build

It is 2025 and I regret to inform you that this device is still in use at my grandfather-in-law’s house
A toaster plug sits in a horizontal Hex-O-Let, a power strip from the 1960s consisting of two greatly elongated outlet slots that can accommodate up to six standard two-prong plugs. A set of metal wind chimes dangles dangerously close to the top slot.

What has led you to this point? And how do you think of the problem of predators on Roblox? Baszucki: We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well. How do we allow young people to build, communicate and hang out together? How do we build the future

It brings me no joy to report that the last great political cartoonists were Ben Garrison and that one obnoxious leftist guy on Twitter from back in the day who made every person he disliked into some kind of instantly recognizable horrid hybrid of Hieronymus Bosch and HP Lovecraft.

i thin that the internet has largely ruined political cartoons. people don’t know how to make actual cartoons anymore. all they do now is draw an obnoxious stand in for the artist and a giant text bubble

From Olivia Nuzzi's piece in 2024 about Joe Biden. Hm. Interesting.
But Biden had not face planted in a pit of bad press because of a mistake in his personal life. His problems would be much trickier to solve. A sex scandal might help him right now, in fact.

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

"average suburban democrat wants half the administration to rot in prison until the end of time" actualy just statistical error. Average dem wants them all to burn in unending fire. Bodhisattva Georg, who is filled with total compassion for all beings, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

your average suburban democrat wants half the administration to rot in prison until the end of time, and anyone more moderate than that position is unlikely to hold office for very long

funniest possible outcome of the next couple decades is the US picking the world hegemon crown back up out of the gutter because every single possible competitor (china and europe, mainly) had their OWN national collective mental episodes at the same time and didn't take advantage of the moment

Liars and cowards
April 7 Liz Oyer, pardon attorney: In February, I was assigned to a working group that the attorney general created to restore gun rights to people convicted of crimes. I was asked to identify suitable recipients, so I looked for people who had committed minor low-level offenses in the very distant past and demonstrated exemplary conduct in the community for many years since their conviction. The pool was narrowed to nine people. And then I was asked to add Mel Gibson to the list. Mel Gibson has a history of domestic violence, and I'm well aware from my experience and training that it is very dangerous for a person with a domestic-violence history to possess a firearm. As attorney general, Bondi has the power to restore rights without my blessing. My recommendation was sought, I believe, to give a veneer of legitimacy to what was actually a political favor for a friend of the president. I said I couldn't recommend restoration. And then I waited for the other shoe to drop. I finally got a phone call from Paul Perkins, an associate deputy attorney general. It was strongly suggested to me that Mel Gibson is someone who had a personal relationship with the president and that really should be all I needed to know. I felt sick. I literally did not sleep at all that night. I wrote back still not making the recommendation. At 2 o'clock that afternoon, I was in a meeting when I learned that I was fired. My deputy told me to grab my bag and literally pulled me out of the room by my elbow and told me in the hallway that she had gotten a call saying that there were security officers in my office waiting to walk me out of the building. I threw everything into a grocery bag and walked out of the office. I passed a lot of people I knew on the way out, and everybody was just looking on in shock. Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, issued a statement saying that I was lying about the circumstances leading up to my firing. Then I was invited by the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee to testify in front of Congress. The administration sent armed U.S. Marshals to my home to deliver a letter warning me about testifying. A career employee who was still at the department helped me get it called off before they got to my house, where my teenager was home alone. I felt the purpose was to intimidate me. And I think it was intended to send a message to other department employees, too, who might be thinking about speaking up. I needed a lawyer. I spent the entire weekend calling all of the lawyers that I know at law firms around D.C. Everybody I talked to was saying: "Thank you so much for what you're doing. We'll do whatever we can behind the scenes to support you." But nobody actually wanted to sit behind me at a congressional hearing. Nobody wanted to put their name on a letter to Todd Blanche. Unfortunately, only Democrats attended the hearing. There were no Republicans. It has really perplexed me that there's not a shared level of bipartisan concern about what's happening inside the Department of Justice.

This whole piece is all the actual horribles on parade, and this one is just infuriating
April 7 Brian McEntire, Civil Rights Division: My goal was always to become an attorney in the Civil Rights Division. That was my dream. I ended up working a lot on fire department cases. In Cobb County, Ga., we got information that even though African Americans and whites were applying for positions at about an equal rate over the previous decade, 90 percent of the hires had been white and 10 percent had been African American. And we didn't quite understand why that was. So we did an investigation and found out that there was a credit check that was disproportionately knocking out African Americans, particularly for student loan debt. And when we asked them why they were doing that, their response was essentially, Well, if a firefighter is deeply in debt and he's fighting a fire, he might steal grandma's pearls. So we brought suit. In February, we got a note saying that the attorney general wanted us to withdraw the case. The next day, division leadership insisted that we put additional language in the notice of dismissal that implied it was all about reverse discrimination. I didn't know, quite frankly, if I could sign it. If I have to say what I argued before was illegal, then I could have been accused of misleading the court, which could have ended up with me being disciplined, sanctioned and my bar license revoked. So I did not sign it. My colleagues didn't sign it. They pulled us all into a room, and we were all prepared to get fired because none of us were going to sign. My boss signed a modified version of the notice of withdrawal on our behalf. We also had a racial-discrimination case involving the sole African American attorney working for the Mississippi State Senate, who, during the years she worked there, was paid less than half of what her similarly situated white colleagues were making. It was as clear-cut a case of disparate racial treatment you could find. The Senate stalled the case until Trump's appointees could come in and order our section to drop it. When you talk about the rule of law and treating people fairly and equally, that's obviously a slap in the face.

i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

One of the big sorting moments in the GOP post-Trump (...and maybe not just "post-"?) is going to be "Crank, Opportunistically Held Beliefs" and "Crank, Genuinely Held Beliefs"
And considering a lot of the worst hypocrisies of the GOP *involve* those beliefs...that's a huge potential fracture point.
