How did it come to be that I ever found myself agreeing with The Gipper...

Here is the ad which infuriated Trump so much, he does not want to continue trade talks with Canada.

I hope this gets a gazillion views.

this is now my goal in corporate life...

Managed to introduce "synergistic frictivation" into the company lexicon after using it in a strategy document to test if anyone reads them. Now, senior management uses it in presentations as if it's gospel. Last week, someone suggested we "frictivate our verticals".

fantastic episode (first half so far)… brought me back to my high school years when The Police were the band I fanned out on the most.

Everyone's feeling it... don't listen to the man gaslighting behind the curtain.

The president has continued to insist that there is “virtually no inflation”. “Prices are ‘WAY DOWN’ in the USA,” Trump wrote on social media in late August.

Amen, brother @jefftiedrich.bsky.social

we’re not giving up, you fascist fucksticks. #NoKings #ResistTrump

this Saturday, October 18th, millions of Americans will be peacefully exercising their First Amendment right to assemble in protest of the shitfuckery that’s being inflicted on us by a convicted felon and his willing Republican accomplices.
predictably, the worst people in the world are panicking over No Kings Day. the fascists and the oligarchs don’t to want to see We the People united against their agenda. fascists win by tricking you into thinking they’re invincible, and then grinding you down and making you give up.
well guess what, fucksticks: we’re not giving up.
