  • OPSEC for clowns

    A few things about the now infamous US attack carried out on the consumer app Signal. First, why the hell is the Daily Show doing a better job reporting on the Administration’s actions than anyone else? Network news is trying to both sides a scandal that has a lot in common with Watergate.

  • there’s a pattern

    So on the socials there’s a thread by a person who lead a gov team to sandbox AI to test whether and how AI might be a useful tool. The answer was not yet but we’re still prototyping. Enter DOGE. The entire team is fired. Shortly thereafter DOGE is demonstrating this unfinished not ready for…

  • Choose Your Focus

    Being a curmudgeon come with its downsides in a country where chaos reigns as democracy whirls toward a terrifying end. The downside is feeling overwhelmed by everything that’s horrific. No one can do it all. Choose your focus and be vocal about that. Make sure your elected officials (while we still have them) hear your…

  • Not Even Pretending They’re Not Racist

    Of course every decent person knew that GOP’s anti-DEI campaign was just a cover for reinstating Jim Crow. You can feel them getting giddy at the prospect. There’s no other reason for removing all mention of women and POC from government websites except White Nationalism. What a fucking disgrace. Updated to add: I posted this…

  • Chuck Schumer can fuck right off

    That’s it. That’s the post.

  • crashing the economy for our own good

    You know what’s a rip off? Deodorant. Like everything else, the amount in the container is shrinking while the cost increases. And the container itself is constructed such that you cannot use all of the product you overpaid for. Oh, well, pretty soon no one except billionaires will be able to afford deodorant anyway. The…

  • we should all be terrified

    The US government has “disappeared” Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder and recent graduate of Columbia University. They’re now in the middle of lying, saying he was here on a student visa which they have revoked. This is a lie. As mentioned, he’s a green card holder married to an American citizen. They’re also lying…

  • Newsom is playing a dangerous game

    Sit down with a Nazi, you best be careful you don’t end up sounding like a Nazi yourself. Which is what Gavin Newsom did on both counts. There’s a reason he’s never been on my 2028 Candidate list.

  • Rank Over(Partition By MostWanted ASC)

    Here’s my (2025.03.05) current POTUS in 2028 ranking in order: Yes. I DID make a T-SQL joke. I will update as conditions warrant. I just hope the DNC gets its head out of its ass. Every time they wait for the GOP to self-implode they don’t. Wake the fuck up and do something.

  • clown car diplomacy

    Shocking as it may seem, the president’s meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not go well. The world and most Americans watched in horror as the president and vice-president behaved like spoiled three-year olds. What an embarrassment for the United States. It’s like these clowns got a Ferrari from their rich dad and then they drove…
