Fair point.

I mean, she’d be better than Trump. But that’s such a ridiculously low bar.

Surely the Dems can come up with a better candidate that her, Gavin Newsom, or some similarly uninspiring/greasy candidate. Right? Right???

In that context, it would have been kind of funny if they’d called the band The New Lou Who, and done a few covers of songs by The Who.

They don’t even believe in Supply Side Jesus at this point. They believe in White Supremacist Jesus.

How long before they retcon the story that his name was actually Jesse and he had a mullet and was born in Kentucky? Maybe they could take the Mormon belief that Jesus skipped over to North America after he was resurrected and build on that. Trump Bible second edition?

“And all it cost was handing over all your sensitive data, firing our entire ethics team, removing the last few flimsy guardrails we still had in place, and a promise that I personally would do ten Nazi sales every day. But the joke’s on the Pentagon - we were already wanting to do all that stuff regardless!” -Sam Altman

They might think this kind of thing makes them look strong. But they are incorrect.

Anyone with more than a couple of braincells in their skull knows this the sign of an administration that got humiliated and is furiously trying to retaliate out of pure spite.

Either way, Dr Beverly Crusher would be aroused.

I now have this mental image of someone storming into the DMV office, quivering with rage and distress, and screaming at bewildered employees there because a completely unrelated auto mechanic was being a dick about an auto repair.

But I’m really curious if your hypothesis is correct.

These are very reasonable questions. But I don’t really want to know the answers to them.

That’s some strong ‘Monty Burns in the sack race’ vibes.

You mean when he stole/coerced the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize into giving it to him? The FIFA peace prize was designed specifically for him, so the fuckheads FIFA could ingratiate themselves to him. Same with that bullshit ‘clean coal hero’ award.

But I get it, there are so many fake and stolen award shenanigans going on with him it’s difficult for anyone to keep track.

To quote Pearl Jam:

Oh no! That means he’s down to only seven/eight other wars he’s resolved, right?

Let’s go through them:

• Albania and Aberbaijan - he meant Armenia and Azerbaijan; and according to their leaders he might have actually played a part in this in spite of his comical geographic gaffs. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. ✔️
• Albania and Thighland - he probably meant Cambodia and Thailand, in which case his ceasefire fell through, and the one that actually took wasn’t due to him. ❌
• Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda - not resolved despite his claims, fighting still continues. ❌
• Israel and Iran - you can’t call heavily tipping the scales for one side as brokering peace; plus it looks like he’s unilaterally dragging the US into a new conflict with Iran. ❌
• India and Pakistan - India doesn’t acknowledge the US played a significant part in peace talks, so this can’t really be counted. ❌
• Israel and Hamas - this one could only be considered a success if you’re Israel. But even then, it hasn’t done anything to prevent the genocide in Gaza, and now he’s just angling to exploit all that ‘empty’ land for himself and his cronies. ❌
• Ethiopia and Egypt - there’s hasn’t been war here for ages, so it’s a false claim. ❌
• Serbia and Kosovo - relations remain strained, and no peace agreement was signed. ❌

I thought 2025 was supposed to be “the moment” for AI PCs. Dell and other manufacturers were sure as hell spamming the shit out of that premise in their incessant online ads. But then it all fell through because of the sagging economy on Main Street, and the fact that many people didn’t like AI being forced down they’re proverbial throats. So yeah, 2026 won’t be any better for this ill-thought out marketing strategy.

Allut’s deathbed confession forms the bulk of the French police records of the case [about Picaud]. The detailed description of Picaud’s experiences in prison, which could not have been known to Allut, were supposedly dictated to him by the ghost of Father Torri.

Hmm, all sounds pretty sketchy. More like a screenplay itself than solid, verifiable facts.

Oh okay. Looks like World Book is still printing encyclopedias though.

Sounds like you’re talking about an old-school encyclopedia book collection. Like Encyclopedia Britannica. They take up a lot of physical space and sing if the information becomes outdated quickly. But they are a great source for history, geography, science, etc. And you might be able to find them second-hand from an online seller for a relatively reasonable price.

That must be why they are doing okay, haha.
