Since I have some downtime, I'm starting my annual "reappraise your images and delete a billion of them". I never even processed this one before today. From 2017, Emigrant Peak in Paradise Valley, MT.

I’m curious about how Isuzu is perceived today in the markets where they’re currently sold.

Are they better than Vinfast, for instance?

(god I hope the answer is yes)

you just can't have a meaningful conversation about the potential benefits of "AI" while this stuff is happening. it's like trying to talk about how useful an airplane might be during a hijacking

There's a short little documentary on the Super Bowl Shuffle on MAX and it's fantastic.

The clip of the New England Patriots' sad response video is worth the price of admission alone.

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.
Trump responds to a detailed report about his waning energy and propensity to sleep through on-camera events by calling the New York Times's Katie Rogers ugly

Pete's been a mockable loser since day one and more and more people are twigging to that simple fact.

you mean to tell me that a talk show host going with "this guy has arranged the military medals he won badly" as a PR strategy against a combat veteran didn't work?

The idea that the NYT/WaPo and all of traditional broadcast media is to the Left of The Nation and Mother Jones is an article of faith on the American Right.

Grandpa's off his meds again.
Now we have the president calling a female New York Times reporter ugly because he's mad about a story she wrote.

The abandonment and collapse of state level Democratic parties is really bearing some evil fruit.

Indiana went for Obama in '08, had one Dem Senator as recently as 2019, and a majority Dem House delegation as recently as 2010.

Now? They're trying to gerrymander the state 100% GOP.

Conservatives like to think their religious beliefs were of prime importance to national politics but in fact they were subsumed by racists and, because their morality had been carefully replaced by a series of thought experiments during the pro-life and gay rights movements, they didn’t notice

If people want to understand why American politics went bananas in 2012, the reason is that the moderate black President took a modest but consequential step toward decoupling healthcare from employment and every billionaire immediately poured their entire portfolio into race-hate media

In the joint CPSC- @neorsd.org museum, the grease ball exhibit is right next to the "turkeys used in demonstrations" exhibit and the visitation numbers are exceptional.

Carve it into the shape of a turkey and we'll put it in an overfilled deep fryer.
what we don’t have in turkey fryer explosion videos, we make up for with 10-pound grease ball pics.

Trump on Pritzker: “I would never want to talk about his weight. I don't talk about people being fat. I refuse to talk about the fact that he's a fat slob. I don't mention it.”

Being able to play the "Ron Swanson in the hardware store" card once in a blue moon is one of the few upsides to the fact that I was incredibly un-creative in picking out a screen name going back to my dialup BBS days.
A sharpshooter, ballistic expert, and gunsmith, apparently.

I’m posting under my government name. You can google it.

At any rate, a 55gr 5.56 projectile out of a 20” tube at that distance would have absolutely head canoed JFK, so we’re just not going to agree here.

yes I don't really see how you can go "oh yikes these people have changed their political views incredibly quickly, mostly because of what Very Online people talk about on social media" and also think that people who went from never talking about gender to calling trans women predators are....normal
I don’t like subtweeting people I consider online friends, but there is a subset of people who are very worried about the ongoing radicalisation of our political elite but won’t ever acknowledge the echoes with the radicalisation of their colleagues on trans rights
And few who are sympathetic to us, some who are friendly with me on here, will ever stick their head above the parapet

Headline today: "FBI Releases Bigfoot's Official File." Okay, feds, was he a Commie? Union organizer? Civil rights activist? Gay? Oh, don't tell me, Bigfoot is gay, that's why they used to have to hang around in the woods and why nobody sees them post-Obergefell: They all got married. Congrats!
