@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Yeah, I remember this sign visible from I-90 westbound from O'Hare. Didn't know the company had collapsed, tho. #SchadenFreude

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Exactly. It's been obvious for some time that Trump himself isn't typing all these late-night missives - he probably just approves them at the most, or at the least just tells Harpie to do her thing

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social At this point, knowing now what we know, should we just reply #SureNatalie ? 🤣

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Why doesn't somebody from the media ask Trump "People are saying that Natalie Harp or Dan Scavino does all your posting for you on Truth Social. When was the last time you actually posted personally?"

@MaryAustinBooks The only Latin phrase I know and employ often is "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur" which means "Everything sounds more profound in Latin." 🤣

@sunguramy@flipping.rocks Every time I hear some Earth Firster ask me what NASA has done for them, I tell them if they have a problem with their tiny tax allotment going to NASA, I'll just take away any tech created as a result of the Apollo missions. Starting with their nonstick cookware, cellphone, and microwave

@daedalus fav part of Roddy's awakening scene: when he looks at the newspaper booth attendant's hand holding a bunch of money and it's just white paper with printing that says THIS IS YOUR GOD

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social OK, I am a cis het guy so I have no understanding of female fashion ... but that dress would be the equivalent of me walking around with no pants on and several ACE bandages wound around my ass and rib cage leaving my crotch partially exposed 🤢

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social This is utter horseshit! MBC helped out in a 2024 WI-01 campaign. They are an awesome supporter of liberal causes and outspoken 1A supporters too. I hope they nail Trump for some serious $$$

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Oh, wow, she sure looks like a serious journalist. I mean, "influencer" 🤣

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social the big question is how many days consecutively can we celebrate his demise when it comes?

@Strandjunker "And a big bunker underneath that ballroom I'm building even though a federal judge has told me to stop working on it because who the f__k does that loser think he is? Is his name plastered over buildings that people stand in front of every day, flashing the bird? I didn't think so." 😎

@georgetakei Well, Barron, Don Jr. and Eric certainly look healthy enough to participate in Selective Service. And Trump's grand-daughter is probably old enough to sign up too. #SendBarron
@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social They apparently didn't know where the secret MS Excel spreadsheet functioning as their corporate inventory-keeping database was hiding. Again, the answer to everything is AI, but what exactly is the f__king question again? 😎
In my dream last night, Pope Leo XIV met with Marco Rubio privately, donned a Chicago White Sox hat, and told him in his best Sout'wes' Side Chicago accent:
"Mind if I speak frankly? Yer boss is a numbskull with severe dementia, mebbe even tertiary syphillis. When are you gonna grow a pair, Liddle Marco, an' tell Stephen Miller, Hegsbreath, Patel, and Pirro to go fuck themselves + then institute the 22nd? If I promised to excommunicate JDV, would dat help?" 😇

All these vibe-coding wizards with only a few years of IT "experience" who think they're building viable AI agents and solutions iare ignorant what I've learned after 45 years in the business:
Writing good code is really fucking hard. 😎

@openscience I have NEVER understood why my friends who deny climate change (who, almost to a fault, are evangelical Republicans) are unable to process that it's the RATE of temperature increases is undeniably part of our increased burning of fossil fuels over the past 150-200 years.
I am getting serious "Civil War The Movie" vibes reading this Atlantic article. 😱
I sure hope we don't have to end up sending military forces from a breakaway set of states to force Miller, Hegseth, Wiles, et. al from the WH grounds in various limos and a few troops going into the WH to find DJT cowering under a desk
@LaNaehForaday@universeodon.com Somebody should show DJT and Melangia the videos of the Ceaucescus' attempt to escape Romania and what happened to them. Maybe then they'd wake up and jump on Trump Force One to head for the tower Eric is building in Baku:

JFC FFS Now evangelicals apparently need a heavenly drink to stay hydrated while spreading the Gospel? Were he to return, he would surely drink what most people drank in Galilee: either water or wine.

@felixcremer@fediscience.org @sunguramy@flipping.rocks I also remember a story about the discovery of the capabilities of microwaves for warming food : A researcher working within a microwave transmitter (?) found the chocolate bar in his pocket had melted unexpectedly. Possibly spurious tale, but if it's not true ... it should be. 🤣

@donieosullivan@mastodon.ie I feel your pain, Donie. I am still waiting to find out what I did to get permanently banned. At least you have some idea and an action plan! BTW, love your interviews with Americans - you are so non-plussed at the responses you get sometimes from, umm, "the fringe."
