Theres are really good and I highly recommend it. There's more than a few passages that hit me like a physical punch to the gut
If you need a last minute gift, Dreadnought and Sovereign are always available at very good prices and shipping speed from Amazon. The third book will hopefully be available next year so this is a great time to start the young reader in your life on a new series.

If you can't afford your own home to live in, childcare, food, health care, education, occasional dinner out or entertainment, a vacation, and utilities THEN YOU ARE POOR.

Most of the "middle class" is poor. So where is the real poverty line? $80k/an or $120k/an or more?

I wonder if any of them have been to a union meeting...
No one is worse about this than left-labor people though. Not those who actually interact with rank and file members. The ones who operate on in the labor intellectual world or, worse, have their entire experience in the labor movement being graduate students.

Yup. And after almost a year I've run out of expletives for the gutless @democrats.org and I'm tired of telling them "not one thin dime". Starting to go to WFP meetings, primary them all.
It feels like I've run out of things to say about the Democrats.

When we're almost a full year into this and they're still voting for Trump's nominees, I'm not sure how you can make the case that the party is salvageable.

Funny how when we simply quoted Charlie Kirk we went on the terrorist list and it was 24/7 "tsk tsk" about the Christian Martyr. This asshole ... still waiting for the Rethuglican leadership to say "enough".
Trump is absolute human garbage

let me translate: Ford decided a couple years ago to stop making normal people cars. Now they don't want to make electrics. Their executives know what China could offer us for twenty grand - therefore Ford is banking on endless federal protection from competition ... because fuck you, fuck me.
Ford axes EVs, $19.5B writedown #econsky
JUST IN: Ford said it will take a $19.5 billion writedown and is killing several electric-vehicle models, in the most dramatic example yet of the auto industry's retreat from battery-powered models in response to the Trump administration's policies and weakening EV demand reut.rs/4qaTs12

Sing along:

If they'll drive you to the criming,
and they ammo they are buying,

Dear God, this athiest will convert to the religion of your choice if you will now smite Florida and/or Texas with your mighty storms so that the sinners can feel your wrath and reap the harvest of what they have sown.
SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery.

My story:
Conspiracy theorist election denier given FEMA’s second-most important role
Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, “the heart of what FEMA does.”

Yo, FIFA. Fuck the fuck off.

I didn't go to the Middle East slavery World Cup, and I and my friends aren't doing the Ameristan Suck Trump Cock Cup either.

Shame. I've been to all the other World Cups since I got a Real Job in the nineties.

Retrospectively, that was merely loathing and disgust and extreme anger. NOW I know what hate means. And I've pissed on Reagan's grave.
Actually, we hated Ronald Reagan and George Bush just as much at the time

Yeah. Anytime you need to give IV meds regularly, veins will collapse. Even in healthy ppl. That’s why chemo patients often have a port placed in the chest.

So this makes me wonder if there are no other viable veins accessible on him? Which would be a crazy number of collapsed veins.

@fiveeightathens.bsky.social Some of us found you on Tidal :-)

According to Tidal's year end thingy I searched for just over 200 different bands, and my playlist is in the top percent for genre diversity. YMMV on their numbers, there is a whiff of smoke under my skirt.

We're not just holding off on hiring. We're trying to figure out if we have the ability to keep the lights on at all.
Here’s a screenshot of some applied 2025 tariff rates.

Now ask yourself if it’s any surprise small businesses are holding off on hiring.

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."
