it's actually crushingly depressing that none of Sappho's poems were preserved in their entirety.

you've heard of the Roman orator Cicero, right? well did you know that "Cicero" means "chickpea"? many historians believe this was because he liked to watch chicks pee

The reason mainstream Democrats are constantly trotting out the imaginary archetype of the Decent Conservative is because they are themselves just slightly more polite Conservatives.

I understand that good journalism is important and I should support it financially, but the CEO said "no raises this year" and I haven't been able to find another job, so my question is "with what fucking money?"

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.

my headcanon to justify why the knight from Hollow Knight was able to defeat Hornet & only take 2 damage from incredibly powerful beings, while Hornet takes 2 damage from mundane enemies in Silksong, is that she is more frail as a mere demigod, whereas the knight is the child of 2 gods & the Void

tl;dr this is, as I've been screaming into the wind about for a week now, not just illegal as shit but fundamentally means the Constitution as written is no longer in effect

That said if you want an even deeper dive on the subject than I've done, this is a very good thread

Bobby Kogan @bbkogan.bsky.social · 16h

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

What you see here is the political consciousness of the ICE agents.

They see their mission the same way the Trump administration sees it - as a state of war, not against immigrants, but against cities.

They correctly understand themselves to be at war against Chicago and all who live in her.

Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

I was a Young Republican for a brief time in the 1980s (for real). I promise you they talked like this back then. They didn’t know I was Jewish, so the Holocaust jokes flowed freely. It all helped radicalize me against the right.
