Trump just picked Fox host Pete Hegseth to be his Secretary of Defense. In 2019 Hegseth said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing.”😐

It’s official. We’ve all lived long enough to see Idiocracy transform from parody to documentary.

Happy birthday to Marie Skłodowska-Curie (1867 – 1934, Polish-born, naturalized-French #physicist & #chemist at work in her lab. The contents of her lab glassware appropriately glow-in-the-dark!

Marie Curie was the 1st woman to win a Nobel prize, the only woman to ever win TWO Nobel prizes, and the only person ever to win in two different sciences: #physics & #chemistry! 🧵1/n

Democracy Dies in Dumbass

@eyesquash I blame the American Far Left, who got together with the American Far Right, and along with a delusional portion of blacks and latinos, and fucked the country right back into the stone age.

That's who I blame.

I swear to God, these people who design web-based systems these days are f***ing idiots. Have they learned nothing in 30 years of web design?

Sorry. Just venting.

I never heard of the #4B movement until today, and now I've heard about it from several sources.

I was way ahead of my time....

"Boycott men? #SouthKorea's 4B movement gains traction in the US after Trump's win"

Investigative reporter Miranda Green outlined how “pink slime” newspapers, which are AI generated from right-wing sites, turned voters to Trump in key swing state counties. Republican strategist Sarah Longwell, who studies focus groups, told NPR, “When I ask voters in focus groups if they think Donald Trump is an authoritarian, the #1 response by far is, ‘What is an authoritarian?’” - Heather Cox Richardson

#Introduction

Hello I just moved here and my old account was BBQ_ali. I have a messy personal life and I love to distract myself with #art and work. I like #tarot cards. #Rancid is my favorite band. I toot about #Hockey and #CFL . I've heard my voice sounds like Louise from Bobs burgers. I don't really know what else to say except I'm nice and would love to make some new friends here.

Here’s FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr sucking up to Donald Trump by threatening to take NBC off the air

Kamala Harris appearing on Saturday Night Live is apparently a good reason to do government speech regulations.

Give yourself a break if you find you have the attention span of a gnat today, and please be extra careful (or as I say 'carfull') on the roads, b/c others probably are in the same fugue state. It's probably just that your brain is having to defrag stuff and it's choking on the CPU load.

As @jvl.bsky.social pointed out, Harris ran a smart campaign. She was a solid candidate. Trump ran a disastrous campaign and is in clear decline. This was a clear choice. No matter who wins, half of voters either chose bigotry and authoritarianism, or had no problem with it. And that’s hard to take.

It's not looking good, is it? Sometimes I hate being right. Shit.

I think I'll go vomit and then drink a bottle of rum.

First of all, I'm old, and used to be a flag-waving patriot (40-50 years ao). But living as I did for many years overseas, in so-called third-world countries, and observing the behavior of United Statesians traveling in those places, I realized that most are total assholes. They are entitled know-nothings who think they know it all and expect the world to serve them.

From this basis I have been able to predict a lot of things over they past 25 years. The outcome of this election is one of them.

I know it's not over. But just looking at the result map of red versus blue states confirms my observations.

I should have known in the 1970s during the oil crisis when I saw bumper stickers all over Los Angeles saying "Nuke their ass and take their gas". This is how "Americans" think.

I'm starting to think, if I live that long, it will be a pleasure to see China overtake the USA. Not because I'm a fan of China, but because the USA needs to get its ass kicked and learn some respect.

"There’s a really smart researcher on authoritarianism, Karen Stenner, and she had retweeted that—what she said was, Pay attention to how he says the word women. And if you listen to it, it’s really interesting because of so much visceral anger and hatred just dripping off of his tongue as he says the word women. That’s very indicative of Trump’s approach to women in general."
