The crazy thing is, most narcissists would be kneeling down next to him, screaming for help and going “it’s going to be ok buddy, I’ve got you”. It’s such an easy moment to take control of
His brain is just cooked. He’s grumpy because he got woken up and it’s not time for him to talk. He looks pissed
Most ultra wealthy people have really well stocked fridges even if their chef or nutritionist or whoever shops for them. They open their fridge and see groceries
Trump grabs McDonald’s or goes to restaurants. I honestly think he doesn’t understand the concept of groceries, it’s so neat to him because he just learned where hamburgers come from
I like that idea a lot
Plus with water, we can just say fuck you, you don’t get to run the tap constantly for cooling, it’s a total waste of clean drinking water. Build more solar panels and figure out a less insane way
Well that’s a misleading title
Same as it ever was
I don’t disagree except where we are in this process
Pelosi resigned, Schumer went missing, Higgs is doing talk show circuits, and everyone turned to AOC and Bernie for comments
This was the leadership failing. The old guard has lost control of the party
Umm… Yeah, I think that’s already happened
They threw all the money and burned through all the remaining goodwill trying to keep us from getting to what happened Tuesday
Yes, but not spiritually
Teflon doesn’t react with basically anything. It won’t stick to anything but itself, which makes manufacturing difficult, initially we could only make pure Teflon pieces
Every other kind of PFAS is super toxic. Some part of the molecule is reactive, usually very reactive so it sticks to things, and the rest won’t react to anything. That causes nasty problems in biology
Teflon itself isn’t that much of a problem because even if it’s around forever, it doesn’t react with anything… The byproducts of working with it are what are poisoning people and causing all the problems
Anything coated in Teflon are going to have the nasty shit under the Teflon so I’d generally avoid it, but the real take away is that chemical companies are just dumping this shit into water sources knowing it causes super cancer
No, that’s the opposite
You can season nearly anything with oil. Except aluminum, which needs a Teflon coating or it gets nasty very fast. Except Teflon is non reactive to nearly everything
Except pfas. You can dissolve Teflon in pfas and spray it onto aluminum
Lol. Come on, keep your dreams in the realm of possibility
Trump will die never facing consequences for his many crimes. But it will be soon
Nope. When I said quietly, I meant it… This got very little media attention. Also, search is pretty much dead at this point, I can’t find shit I read a week ago - there’s too many results around Jan 6 no matter how specific I query it
But essentially, the top brass created a voicemail for trump, there’s a bunch of deleted texts between the military and secret service, and then Trump was conspicuously absent during the handover process
They will go to unimaginable lengths to learn the wrong lessons, don’t get me wrong. And they’re doing their very best
They’re testing literally everything except being more progressive… Everything from working with MAGA and bringing out Obama
But none of their bizarre mixing and matching of everything imaginable, including testing fucking Hunter Biden for a presidential run, have paid off at all
I just think it’s finally obvious, and urgent, enough that the leadership is going to turn over. At the end of the day, the leadership might be willing to go down with the ship over this, but the rank and file won’t
The military basically removed him from power quietly after Jan 6 and worked with Pelosi to do the transition
Did you see the part where the defacto leader of the party didn’t show up to his own press conference, so the reporters asked Bernie (who was just watching from the back) if he’d answer questions?
The Democratic establishment fought Mamdani (and progressives generally) along with Trump and the oligarchs and lost massively. Both parties are in chaos right now, because it’s obvious that money is no longer enough to win elections, even safe ones
They’re all going to be quiet for a while before the other shoe drops, hopefully the infighting will make it easier for progressives to rise to prominence
The more popular plan among them seems to be this

If you read through it you’ll find a lot of the things in project 2025 that came out of nowhere (like taking Canada, Greenland, and Panama) are actually goals of the movement
Oh, and Elon’s Grandpa was in the movement, and the heritage foundation was started by the same group
How? An airtag isn’t going to work from inside you, and they’re going to search you. They also like to bounce people around to make them hard to track, so that tracker is going to end up wherever the person was processed
This just isn’t practical with current technology
It’s an exaggeration to illustrate a point… It’s not literally true
But it is pointing at something that is true
Sure, because that’s the norm for humans
I’m sure you could find specific subcultures elsewhere that don’t do this, but it’s the default everywhere else. It’s not just close family friends or people you grew up with, any friend from a generation up is Uncle or Aunty
I’m sure there’s a reason for it, and it’s probably a very interesting one
Like every other culture uses familial terms for an extra layer of casual address, white people are the only ones that don’t
Geopolitics works on several layers, getting progressively less public as you go down
If their objective was to strike back hard enough to be a deterrent next time they’re attacked, why would they announce their intentions before they had the missiles ready?
This announcement does a few things. It reassures the Iranian people that they won’t let strikes on their country go unanswered in the future. It is a show of strength towards Israel, because they know that the global political climate will protect them from war with Israel for the near future
And possibly most importantly, it’s a departure from nukes. They’re announcing the intention of pursuing alternative means of defense
The timing of this makes me think they’ve negotiated their way back in from the cold. This might have been planned all the way back at the strikes on their enrichment sites - they were strangely accommodating of that whole event, but it would make them look weak if they immediately said they were giving up their nuclear ambitions
