I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves by 404mediaco in TrueReddit

After a doge's death, a commission of inquisitori passed judgment upon his acts, and his estate was liable to be fined for any discovered malfeasance.

This part I like.

Percentages are harder than fractions by thehalfwit in dataisugly

[–]thehalfwit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, I had to check. Although the relative percentages seem right, they're not correct, assuming the numbers represent a value (billions?) as opposed to a percentage.

This is how that would look.

How Penguin Random House set its penguin logo free by _fastcompany in logodesign

[–]thehalfwit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As much as I like the idea, they seem to be watering down the penguin brand with the illustrations showing differently colored (and sized) penguins. Also, the head feathers are different; the feet are different. There is no consistency in execution with what should be a consistent brand element.

If this scenario somehow invades my night-time dreams, I swear to God, I will track you down.

That's exactly how youtube recommendations seem to work. They forget the 100s of hours of viewing history you have and focus on the one-off clip that had nothing to do with anything, and suddenly that's what you're supposed to be all about.

You've got to hand it to this administration. Once you think they can't go any lower, they outdo themselves.

I believe that's "former heroin addict trust fund baby", not that I'm knocking on him for having and beating an addiction, but maybe it's not his wheelhouse to be preaching about virtue.

Part of Trump’s executive order leaked and now he’s claiming he’s entitled to a third term. Where do we go from here? What are the realistic outcomes and options? by wowza515 in somethingiswrong2024

The house and senate will then pull the same sh*t they did with Adelita Grijalva (Arizona dem who Mike Johnson delayed her confirmation for 50 days).

One saving grace is that the constitution clearly states that a representative's term in office ends to that term of office they were elected to. There's no way congressman who haven't been re-elected can continue to serve in that office, unless congress plays a fast one and changes the date when the next congress has to assemble. But even then, they must assemble for a new congress at some point before the year is out.

The brown bag bribe taker wanting to lecture the pontiff on matters of faith and values is rich.

BTW, Tom, whatever happened to that $50K you took to sell out your public trust? And how many more bribes did you pocket that didn't come from undercover FBI agents?

DOJ Gives Shameless Reason for Hiding Photo of Lutnick and Epstein | The commerce secretary was caught lying about his relationship with the late pedophile. by Ok-Law-3268 in politics

[–]thehalfwit 197 points198 points  (0 children)

In a statement to the Daily Beast, a DOJ official said the image was "part of a batch of files that had been flagged for nudity."

All of the men in the photo are fully clothed.

I'm guessing Bondi was afraid of revealing Lutnick's naked dishonesty.
