this is what finally made me MAGA, as a single issue voter (i am left handed and hate pencils)
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

ICBMs made it possible to end the world in 15 minutes or less. @iwriteok.bsky.social tells @margaret.bsky.social about the nightmarishly incompetent first draft of the Minuteman, a nuclear weapons system almost perfectly designed to end the world on accident.

Portland's airport is worse now than it was before the remodel.
The last affordable snack place at PDX airport is gone and will be replaced by a “more expensive” cafe, according to staff.

it's so funny that Games Workshop went in twenty years from a company that made games you got beaten up in middle school for enjoying to now being the 67th most valuable company in the United Kingdom

Watching "The Guilty" with Jake Gyllenhaal, in which he plays a cop under investigation who is forced to work as a 911 operator (this movie does not know what 911 operators do) and proceeds to do nothing but get children killed and women abused by giving them bad advice

great flick

you couldn't trust the old FBI about this shit and if you think you could i got a bridge to sell you
CNN reporting that the DC pipe bomber was motivated by Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. It’d be nice if we had an FBI run by people we could trust to tell the truth about these types of things.

public smoking bans are immoral. instead, all domiciles and public spaces should be reformed into vast Arcologies constructed like Las Vegas casinos, so that everyone can safely smoke inside
Public smoking bans just got in under the wire, too. Younger folks might not realize how rare they used to be and how hard they were to enact.
it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

People who save lives should not be criminalized
European governments are not only failing people seeking protection, they’re also punishing those who try to fill that dangerous gap.

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater
