Continually mind-blown how completely the rule of law seems to have snapped this time around. Just apocalyptic-level events for ethics and civilian-military relations, and they’re not even getting gummed up in the system. They’re, for the most part, just doing it. And this is on everyone.
New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay.

Ok so funny thing
The very next day they figured out why they were taking so long because even they were confused
Turns out it was because I previously worked there and reemployment just gummed up the system lol
Funny how that works
Not just that but seems like I’ll be able to get the hours I need!

I just hate feeling like I can’t do anything. Just waiting till a ball starts rolling or a gear finally spins and gets everything moving. It’s fucking miserable being so helpless. It’s the one feeling I hate more than anything.

"The house beckoned with its towers, invited with its gummed-shut doors. Pirate ships are a tonic. Ancient forts are a boon. But a house, a *haunted* house, on All Hallows' Eve? Eight small hearts beat up an absolute storm of glory and approbation.

What @ericewing.bsky.social said! Stamps are little pieces of art and little pieces of history. I sometimes marvel that I have in my hand a piece of gummed paper over 100 years old, a miniature work of art that tells use what was happening when it was printed #Philately #Stamps #StampCollecting
Part of what draws me to #philately is the wonder that stamps like these have survived more than 175 years of history. They have passed through wars, revolutions, and hands long turned to dust, serving as quiet reminders that even the smallest things can carry a story.

I don’t know how they don’t get that the more they gummed up the works, the better it would have been for everyone.
Imagine zero trump appointees in office. They facilitated the fascism that he said he was going to do during his entire campaign and they didn’t believe him or didn’t care.

It’s because of their construction project. It’s all gummed up directly by it.

Found another classic on Scribd, while looking for how the maestro Al Jaffee might have answered the question* I intentionally bothered my kid w/ yesterday right after taking pic 1 but in advance of seeing whether the book's lessons had taken root yet (they had not!)

... why don't you take a look at all the times either house could have pulled a maneuver that gummed-up the works long enough to stymie the R's best-laid plans? Oh right, "adults: like you insist that "We're better than that!" I'm sick and fucking tired of being better losers

I don't see a real human rights law issue (are these titles really property or a civil right?) but wonder about the awkwardness of Parliamentary process. Who'd promote a private bill (or would it be hybrid?). Might it not get gummed up with objections? Wouldn't it need King's consent to be debated?

Got myself a really fine and smooth operating caliper at the flea market for just 9€. I had to clean it as it was gummed up with grime but it is better than the cheap one I bought new. This one has a number engraved on the back but doesn't bother me much. This one costs new about 35€. Great deal!

There will be so much to fix when trump is gone and I worry that establishment Dems have the stomach for it.
Just consider how Sinema and Manchin gummed up the works despite the threats from MAGA GOP being clear under Biden

Having Calafiori as a second ten has brought more good than bad for Arsenal but today the centre of the pitch does feel a little gummed up when they have the ball. Trossard doing well on the left but feels like Arsenal are allowing Fulham's midfield five to mass centrally.

Windows laptop is so gummed up it's taking minutes to react to simple search in the directories. And I can only conclude onedrive is the issue here, possibly also #endof10? I have disconnected the wifi while I try to run the backup.
