I wonder if Sean Duffy knows that the wood paneling on the side of 70s station wagons was not real wood. There’s no reason, besides taste, that you couldn’t put wood paneling decals on the side of any car today. No need to change mileage standards.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

'Witch hunt' = Stop holding me accountable for my crimes.
'Hoax' = This is a damning indictment of me and my illegal activities. Stuff I really did.

They are seriously trying to uncancel Jeffery Fucking Epstein.
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

In a 19th Century novel called The Monk, a monk strikes a deal with the devil who promises eternal life. The monk executes the devil’s plans but in the end (spoiler alert) the devil takes form of a taloned flying beast, swoops down, snatches him by the skull & carries him to hell. Bc the devil lies.

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Your must read:
“In all this, though nearly one in ten New Yorkers are Muslim, our fears, our lives, are simply not part of the national conversation. Instead, the state apparatus built to target us, one built on an image of us as a dangerous other, is getting more powerful as I write this. “

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that?

If you read this article you might think Trump has a 67% approval rating, rather than a 67% disapproval rating, the lowest of any point so far in either term. Just embarrassing reporting from the AP.

The panda ant (Euspinolia militaris) is a creature with many SURPRISES.
1st, as some of you may have guessed it's not *actually* a type of panda, it just looks like one.
2nd & fewer of you would have guessed this. It's not even an ANT. It's a wasp where only males have wings.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.
Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

AOC: Squid, crab, snail

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…
The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..
