Remember Kermit’s bland corporate life with Gil, Jill, and Bill that we as children prayed he would escape? That’s what adulthood is like.

Also a dog whistle for racists who don’t like the Indigenous Peoples Day reframing.

The newest strategy for the right is to do crazy illegal/immoral/corrupt shit, then when questioned treat the questioner as an unfair, partisan player and act offended.

The man’s a doctor. He may be a piece of shit, but he ain’t stupid. He knows it’s bullshit, he’s just saying it to more effectively lick the boot.

All the toasted bagels in the comments here…wtf? Do you people not get your bagels hot out of the oven at 5am on the way home from a JFK redeye?!!? It’s really the only way to have a bagel. Heaven!

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 2d

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Between this and their statements decrying the upcoming protests as antifa actions paid for by Soros, the Trump administration and GOP are desperately courting violence.

No idea who he is, but searching his username brings up 4 accounts. That one, a blank one, and two with the same general handle and a rather disturbing photo. Not to kink shame, but…wow.

I’m really feeling how the adult penguins are all like “what’s the point?”

Umm sorry to do this for the 10 millionth time, but…

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

Building a gnome paladin in d&d who rides a goat. He’s a Chevrelier.

This is like something out of a Paul Verhoeven movie.

Assuming a pretty average 2500/month rent combined with 2100 for insurance that would leave them with about $400 a month for all their living expenses.

What a country!

Trump Derangement Syndrome is what we should call it when people start supporting whacked out ideas to support an orange wannabe dictator.

My theory is that the reason he televises these cabinet meetings is so that he can spew his ridiculous talking points to the nation without interruption or questioning and the media will dutifully air them.

Trump: "Antifa is out of control in Portland and other places ... we're looking for the people that are funding them and those people are gonna be just as guilty as the people that smack people over the head with a baseball bat."

And each tick-tock cycle between dems & the GOP every 4 years the majority they hand dems is so slim it’s never enough to do anything substantive (because filibuster). Americans are too stupid to save themselves & even the insane levels of incompetence on display now will not move the needle, imo.

Ah yes, the famously pro federal government and anti states-rights conservatives. This is like opposite day but for the last 8 months straight.
