@Alice But that would make FBI an acronym as well now since under Kash Patel they are extremely fibby.
@VeroniqueB99 humour not hour. Stupid autocorrect doesn't know how to friggin' spell.

#Trump really said "Smart people don't like me."
He just called all his fans idiots, and they're too consumed with hatred for education to notice.
People who hate equality hate education for producing equality; hence the relentless attacks on libraries and all levels of educational institutions.
Education means we can have a Black president and women don't have to marry horrible men to survive. Can't have that! Let's cheer for a guy who calls us fools! 🤡

@DemocracyMattersALot Such an enticing invitation: "Come over here and tolerate our racism so you can teach us how to do stuff that you do better than we do and we won't have to pay you money for it any more."

Kennedy Jr., other states may follow.” https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2025/09/florida-vaccine-children-mandate/684110/?gift=j9r7avb6p-KY8zdjhsiSZ1KV5cFKtQASw6v7_TPkcvA

Uh... pot, kettle, wrongfully detain
Trump admin to issue EO as early as Fri establishing a designation for state sponsors of wrongful detention, in a move that would allow the U.S. to punish countries that illegally detain U.S. nationals or take them hostage." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-wrongful-detention-state-sponsors-order/
@petergleick Global energy consumption is about 26,000 TW h. Earth’s surface roughly 164,000,000 sq km. A 200 W solar panel is about 1 sq m or 0.000001 km^2. Covering the Earth with these, at 5% efficiency, would generate about 15,000 times the total energy consumption of Earth.

Can you imagine if Biden had sent, say, the California NG to Idaho to quell some Cliven Bundy-like situation?
