I had the most anxiety-inducing experience at the dentist yesterday. New guy, mid-30s, subbing for my dentist who’s out on maternity leave. New playlist in the office. 70s and 80s new wave, nice. As he’s prepping me for the Novocain he starts humming along to the speakers. Phil Collins. He’s got this needle and telling me to turn towards him and open. “AND I REMEMBER…” He’s got the needle in my cheek when the drum break drops.

The new Third Place is the front seat of your massive SUV, burning $5.00-a-gallon gas to run your air conditioner, doomscrolling on your phone with your foot on the brake clueless that another car is waiting for you to back out so they can have the space to do the same thing

Climate change has Spain, Greece, France, and Spokane aflame, there’s a widening war in the Middle East, Ukraine is incinerating much of Russia’s oil, most of the world considers us an unreliable trading partner, judges have officially declared the DoJ uncredible, his fascist internal police are kidnapping thousands and killing hundreds, his offspring are promoting Corruption As A Service… …and he’s re-litigating 2020’s pandemic and election, denying that he was in charge of both.

Reflecting pool, Freedom250, Qatar jet, ballroom… when you boast that your business acumen means that you can get a job done in a fraction of the time at a fraction of the price, who’s to blame when it turns out to be a total failure?

who woulda thunk it that redacting the boss’ name from the Epstein files and giving him a lifetime get-out-of-tax-fraud-free card wouldn’t go over well with the senate judiciary committee

So lemme get this straight—the FDA blamed the explosive diarrhea outbreak on lettuce from Mexico in Taco Bell food, triggering a shutdown on both and a huge recall by the provider—then backed off and said they now have ZERO reliable positive tests for cyclospora on anything anywhere?

The same folks who were criminally investigating Jerome Powell for a $600M cost overrun on the new Fed headquarters are now telling us that the White House ballroom will cost taxpayers a billion dollars instead of being completely paid for by bribes.

Ever wonder why Team Chad, Team AI, and Team White Supremacy seem to be all the same people? Because they have one animating thought, a need that drives their attitude towards women, immigrants, and work. They want slaves. Female slaves, robot slaves, people of color slaves, all the same to them. It’s as if they’re offended by the notion that they’re not superior to somebody and have to take responsibility for their own lives.

Mr. Art Of The Deal can’t close the DHS deal, can’t close the SAVE Act deal, can’t make an Iran deal. He’s given up on Greenland and forgotten about Venezuela. His deals with law firms and universities are being nullified by courts. His fake US Attorneys are being disqualified by judges. His tariffs have been nullified by SCOTUS. He’s not just a failure as a President, he’s not even a competent dictator.

The far right wackos were already sus about the Butler shooting. Another conveniently timed, harmless, exploitable attempt will probably be seen as another manufactured event.
