The man charged with planting two pipe bombs near the Democratic and Republican party headquarters on the eve of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol told the FBI he believed conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, according to two people familiar with the matter.

So… Not an anarchist like the cops initially reported, but rather a stupid and violent right-wing “lone wolf.” What prize do I win for correctly predicting this? I must be able to see the future to know that the cops were bullshitting, huh?

Who wants to bet that this is just another right-wing nutjob and not an “anarchist” at all?

I might believe the cops if they weren’t constantly caught lying to further their right-wing projects.

The fog of hangover?

I know I can’t tell if someone is a good or bad person just from looking at a photo.

But this is very good evidence of the contrary.

Use my distaff to rip it open wider, banishing death to wander between realities for all eternity. Duh.

He’s going to look so shocked if he gets fired. I guarantee it.

Then do something, assholes.

Or keep acting like cowards who are afraid of what Grabby Grandpa’s gonna call you, that seems more likely.

Woody Guthrie wrote a song, Lindbergh, about America’s Nazi collaborators. Notably, he calls out America First as being a fascist movement in disguise.

And I’m gonna tell you workers, 'fore you cash in your checks
They say "America First, " but they mean “America Next!”

This is the biggest takeaway: billionaires live in a society apart. They know their money will insulate them from consequences, and so do their sycophants.

The tastes of the duke were peculiar. He had a fine eye for colors and effects. He disregarded the decora of mere fashion. His plans were bold and fiery, and his conceptions glowed with barbaric lustre. There are some who would have thought him mad. His followers felt that he was not. It was necessary to hear and see and touch him to be sure that he was not.

This video is the first thing I remember her from. I don’t think she’s fundamentally different now.

Oh I was just joking about this janky adapter. It worked great paired with a CRT.

VGA stands for “vestigial garbage adapter” after all.

Get out into nature. Take frequent walks.

Be social, even if you don’t want to in the moment.

Have a goal to work towards that doesn’t have anything to do with employment (learn to draw, or play piano, or cook).

Be patient with yourself and others. It’s rough out there.

I really hate when people call them “skeptics.”

Skepticism is a questioning attitude or doubt toward knowledge claims that are seen as mere belief or dogma.

They’re the dogmatic ones; there are multiple converging lines of evidence showing that man-made climate change is a real danger; to deny that is not skeptical, it’s delusional. It’s motivated reasoning. It’s believing a lie because the billionaire propaganda machine told you to believe it.

We rarely get snow in Texas; we get a solid sheet of ice that covers everything. The city also doesn’t plow, and nobody has snow tires because it’s only going to be a day or two.

Yeah, southern drivers don’t know how to drive (in or out of snow, really), but places like Denver and Dallas have such different experiences that it’s not really fair to compare them. It’d be like mocking Alaskins because they’re miserable in 90°F; they don’t have the AC to handle what is incredibly mild weather to me.

Not saying you’re mocking or disrespectful, I’m just on my soapbox.

It used to be that they’d put baseball games on broadcast TV.

Now you basically need a subscription to watch the team in my area. It’s like they don’t want anyone to see the games.

You have to spring for the french fry cuffs.

And hey, Mike Johnson is keeping the Epstein investigation files sealed during this shutdown. So chin up little MAGA, your pedo president is being protected by you getting stranded in the Des Moines airport.
