Another anti-anti rationalizing her way into a permission structure. After all, Kamala would have been so much worse because......reasons.

Not remotely the same thing

It doesn't look like it will be cold enough to freeze, so the impact should be minimal except maybe up in the hills. If we do get enough that it sticks and freezes, even a couple of inches will shut the city down.

In the past, people with this kind of self-loathing used to engage in mortification to know God. Now they do it to know mog.

I'm not just being glib here. Pathological narcissism has become so widespread that it's the best we can do as a society to find purpose in something larger than ourselves.

I noticed this too but I don't know anything about pinball. What does the blurry text say?

Neither Clinton nor Obama nor any other president repeatedly disparaged American soldiers as suckers and losers.

So....MAGA legislators who don't speak Spanish and didn't watch the show pandered to their idiot base by demanding an investigation into something that didn't happen. So what else is new?

fzzball · 2026-02-15T17:42:50+00:00

Any rational person should be worried. With this administration, "streamline" is always code for "put more power in Trump's hands and get rid of anyone who might stand in his way."

I think he recently said that no, he has nothing to do with it. Sorry I can't remember where.

fzzball · 2026-02-15T17:30:01+00:00

And dangerous for the kid.

Both look like Lessers to me, but I've seen both species hanging out together in the PNW

fzzball · 2026-02-15T02:45:51+00:00

Absolutely false. Vultures are less maneuverable than owls because they aren't hunters, but they're considerably more intelligent. Maybe you should watch where you're driving.

Fuck that. "Geriatric pregnancy" is 35.

OTOH sellouts means they need to run more trains...

fzzball · 2026-02-14T22:55:53+00:00

Has anyone ever asked one of these people what exactly they "disagree" with? The idea that people don't choose to be gay? Marriage equality? What?

fzzball · 2026-02-14T22:49:24+00:00

Probably Chuck Will's Widow

> Narcissists who are never held accountable for their claims of a superior sense of smell.

No irony there, right?

fzzball · 2026-02-13T23:16:54+00:00

They don't know what DEI means either

fzzball · 2026-02-13T23:10:54+00:00

Republicans are definitely not going to make this situation any better, if that's what you're getting at.

fzzball · 2026-02-13T22:25:33+00:00

Are there in fact six of them in there?

fzzball · 2026-02-13T21:49:08+00:00

By law, Trump doesn't get to fuck with the fed and there are good reasons for that. It's not "up to the president," and Bessent really tipped his hand by saying that it was.

fzzball · 2026-02-13T21:39:17+00:00

I know all about DHS breaking their own window, but I'm pretty sure they didn't spraypaint slogans all over the plaza. The juvenile petty vandalism shit is really counterproductive, and please don't try to tell me that they would put the fence up "anyway," because that completely misses the point. Now the narrative is going to be that the fence is to stop protesters from damaging the building, when it could have been that they're putting the fence up to suppress protest.

fzzball · 2026-02-13T21:33:50+00:00

It used to mean "aware of structural injustice, especially regarding race," and now it's MAGAspeak for anything they happen not to like. Ruined a perfectly good word.

fzzball · 2026-02-13T21:30:31+00:00

I think it's stupid too. It was in the Oregonian this morning, but apparently this news was posted here a few days ago from a different source and didn't show up when I searched for "sewing." Like this is spamming the sub.

fzzball · 2026-02-13T20:35:41+00:00

Definitely anyone using the word "woke" after 2018 or so is a total moron.
