I was Matt+numbers back...there. No, not him. No, not her either. Yeah, the one who won't pay their nouns. Otherwise? My bookshelves don't like me any more than my walking shoes, I read cookbooks for fun, and my trivia is more trivial than most.

Remember: it's not cool to conflate reporting with overt Republican propaganda.

Of course Trump loves it. That was the first solution to the Jewish Question.

The GOP has been the Hitler Playbook party since Dubya. Trump's just a bigger boil on the body politic from the same disease.

36: 50th street to 14th street.

Along the route of the NYC march, someone was holding a sign reading 'You know things are bad when New Yorkers are walking this slowly". I think he wins.

Must be fun for the rest of the flag/general officers, trying to decide if their oaths are consistent with simply letting the Republicans replace them until they get the war criminals and traitors they need in command.

A Russupblican calling out the actual Russians for being intellectually dishonest to the point of delusion. My, my.

To be fair: the right was designed by an actual architect, and assembled by skilled model makers, at the behest of someone who wasn't quite a drugged out and senile cretin yet. The left is the flip choice of a drugged out and senile cretin who knows someone with a 3D printer. It's not quite fair.

Naah, two predators and a carrion eater.

The way that's written, it reminds me of what the Americans did with the first atomic bomb (Tall Boy). But I suspect there are previous rear area tests not being noted here.

Blue skying (as it were): but do you suppose the folks in the military who take the money Trump stole to pay them are potentially opening themselves up to prosecution for possession of said stolen funds?

Sergei, I told you not to drive on that twig...

And because the majority of the people with money to fly regularly are Democrats or democratic leaners. Pissing them off is rather short sighted for a lot of airports.

Be fair: some were that distasteful to the original audience, too. Until literary mental masturbation became fashionable, nobody liked Moby Dick.

They've got a decent one in Philly, even if she's only a few hundred years old. Probably started her calls with 'Hello, Central", too.

I just looked at a satellite photo of that tank farm, and discovered that all of the tanks are connected by unburied fuel pipes. It's going to be a while before even the surviving tanks can be used for much; most to all the pipes and valves will have to be replaced.

Be real careful about that, though. Illuminating doves are often just misidentified phoenixes. Scriptoriums harbor the latter at their peril.

Apparently we found three complaints of him cheating his customers in his files; this is just the one everyone has heard of. For certain values of 'everyone', of course.

Since he kept all the incriminating documents in his own files instead of crumbling them into his garden, it probably wouldn't bother him at all.

weremensh.bsky.social @weremensh.bsky.social · 7d

More like three: and what makes it more entertaining is this clown used them as testimonials (ok, kept them all in his files). We know he was a Republican because he was so damned proud of it.

weremensh.bsky.social @weremensh.bsky.social · 7d

Of all the dried mud tablets in all the file rooms in the valley, that one got fired into earthenware when the place burned down. Clearly he's the patron saint of 'stuff happens'.

One crappy little mixed battalion of Russian armor is now a 'big armored column'? So much for the Russian army.

weremensh.bsky.social @weremensh.bsky.social · 11d

It's not like we don't already know that there are Republicans who would be happy to start shit from among any given crowd of protestors to provoke such moments, or that Miller et al wouldn't cheerfully hire a few and send them along. You're right; but it's still a bit fraught.

weremensh.bsky.social @weremensh.bsky.social · 11d

Interesting. Though maybe not perfect if Trump gets one of his Republican generals to order them to shoot (which is very obviously what's wanted). It wouldn't take many 'oops' moments of Republican treason being carried out by guys not thinking it through (or Republicans) to make things awkward.

weremensh.bsky.social @weremensh.bsky.social · 11d

True: but the National Guard isn't exactly the US Army. They have shot people (there's even a hit song about when they did it in Ohio).
