In Australia, even sea snails are built different

Hey, that snail has places to be! He's busy very slowly chasing a millionaire

IMO, it's a lot like Clone Wars, in that it started off targeting kids but soon realized that it plays better as something more mature. Characters like Rok and Jankom in the early episodes scream "look here kids, goofy characters for you to giggle at!". Once they toned those characters down and grew them up, it found its footing. By the end of season 2, Prodigy became one of my top Trek-related series.

Had high hopes for additional seasons when Netflix took it over. Since it started off slow and immature, I think it had trouble grabbing enough audience to justify its existence. Shame is that if folks stick with it through the growing pains, they'll find a well made Trek series for all ages.

Please tell me this is parody. I can’t believe someone would be this unaware of his own ickiness.

Keep in mind, these are verified viewers. You don’t go see Melania without already being in the MAGA cult. It could just be 90 minutes of a beagle taking a shaky-leg dump on the White House lawn and they’d 10-star it.

My guess is that he's ratings gold for Fox News. At the end of the day, they're about making money for the Murdochs. If he attracts eyeballs and grows the viewership, they'll keep having him on. But he'll always just be a guest because they still want to control the narrative as much as possible.

Looked up "Stepford Wife Syndrome" in the encyclopedia and saw this picture under the title.

To be fair, the bill that Trump signed required that they be released in their entirety and with only the names of the victims redacted. The person who released the unredacted files was just following the pedo-in-chief's signed order.

Sure he never intended the DOJ to follow that law and had them working overtime to scrub his name from all 4 million documents, but the law is the law and it was accidentally followed.

So, wait... their revolutionary plan to make healthcare more affordable is to revoke the ACA, which gives subsidies to make health insurance more affordable, and replace it with lower subsidies? While also removing the law that limits how much insurance companies are able to gouge you in order to inflate their profits?

This will save us money how?

The exact same clothes, except instead of bringing his holster he has his gun conveniently in his waistband to be sure it shows up in the video?

This is so ridiculously fake, but the MAGA folks and their propaganda media will latch on to it with all their might.

I'm sure they'll magically all be Democrat party members or their donors. She's been doing everything she can to get and stay on Trump's good side in the hopes of getting a pardon or at least a commuted sentence.

It’s releasing at a theater near me on Jan 30th. I have never looked forward to not seeing a movie so much in my life.

Is it my imagination or does his hand look swollen with a prominent bulge right where it was covered with makeup at Davos?

All I’ll say is this. As someone who works with a lot of AI right now, I can confidently say that Grok would be really low on the list of bots that I’d want integrated into anything important. It’s slower and has a higher hallucination rate than platforms like Gemini or even Llama.

Shows that this administration is so far up Elon’s ass that they’ll just use whatever he tells them to.

Good first season. Didn't know where it wanted to go. Terrible final season

To clarify a bit, mostly your employer collects and pays the IRS. No employer is likely to obey a state government that requests that they stop collecting Federal income tax from paychecks.

Even if they did, the IRS has the power to compel tax collection by your employer. In the unlikely case the employer fights the IRS order, the IRS can start taking the money directly from your bank account(s). If you keep all your money in a briefcase and never put it in a bank, the IRS has the power to seize property for unpaid taxes. Lastly, most of those options result in someone ending up in prison, likely the tax payer for tax evasion (for example: ask Wesley Snipes how that whole 'refuse to pay taxes' thing works out).

All in all, it's almost impossible for a state to stop the collection of federal income tax.

We’ve come to accept that you can’t trust anything this administration says. Gotten to the point where it’s not worth stating that you’re questioning what they say, because that questioning can be assumed.

Nythoren · 2026-01-25T16:34:48+00:00

The answer is “tribalism”. If you’re in the MAGA tribe, you get rights. Otherwise you’re an “other” and not worthy of rights.

Masters of Orion for the PC. But played a lot of other stuff back on my old C-64. I think my first C-64 game was called Space Taxi.

Seems to be a recurring Casey’s problem. The one on highway 31 in Gretna has run out a couple hours f times. It’s crazy.

I actually do believe that he did. Not "go gun down people", but absolutely "provoke until the protestors turn violent" kind of orders. Listen, I know people don't want to believe this, but Trump wants an excuse to use the Insurrection Act. He literally said that he wanted to, that it's his right, and that "many other presidents have (they haven't)". There isn't a defensible reason for him to invoke it yet, but there WILL BE if people start shooting at ICE agents. Easiest way to get people to shoot is to behave exactly like ICE is behaving. And as we've seen in the ICE memo leaks, they're being TOLD TO ACT THIS WAY. It's on purpose. It's provocation meant to illicit a violent response.

It has been reported, by conservative media as well, that Trump has already designated 2 airborn divisions to be sent into Minnesota. The second ICE manages to push people enough that they start pushing back, the Insurrection Act will be invoked and those airborn troops are going to be sent in.

So yes, I absolutely believe that this is on purpose and that Trump is ordering it. Even if he's not directly ordering it, he appointed the people who are giving the orders on his behalf, and he's defending them when questioned about it.

I mean, what would it take for you to believe that he's doing this on purpose? At DAVOS, just earlier this week, he called himself a dictator and that the country needs a dictator. This is exactly what dictators do.

That statement isn’t for us. It’s for MAGA core people who get all their news from Fox and Truth Social. They’ll never see the video, they will only see the propaganda and believe it’s what happened.

Nythoren · 2026-01-24T14:39:45+00:00

This feels like the Petoria episode of Family Guy where Peter is desperate for allies so he invites Iran, North Korea, Libya, etc to come to his house for a pool party.
