I forget who but someone in Trumpworld is dating her and I threw up a little bit in my mouth imagining that concept. She looks like a possum that no one asked to prom.

I think it’d be better but not ideal. America obviously needs reforms but a 4 year reprieve from the dumbest dumbfucks in recorded history trying to annex Greenland and cut off funding for cancer research would be nice.

I’m starting to think the Tesla CEO isn’t a good person.

My ancestry is French but I speak English and am chill even when i drink too much. I can write computer code and generally act right. If Ireland is looking for immigrants, page me. I’d be so much more well behaved than English tourists. I’m on Lemmy! How much harm could I possibly cause writing software and trying to make the Fediverse happen.

Gov. Beshear could absolutely be president if we still have free and fair elections in 2028. I, personally, wouldn’t be thrilled by a centrist Democrat bringing us further to the right via compromises where the left gets a shit sandwich. But he’s very good at being a politician.

Well, I guess the mission was successful if you don’t care about civilians. The 23 year-old pilots were apparently very competent. Houthi leadership gets no sympathy from me and I hope they go home and be family men.

I wouldn’t have made that trade-off, though. I don’t care if there’s 40 of my worst enemies holed up at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. I wouldn’t bomb it, much less treat it like a game. That’s sociopath behavior.

For the record, I’m from Louisiana so I hate Texas. Especially Texas A&M. There’s a small part of me that wants to bomb anyone wearing a cowboy costume who lives in a suburb and has never even touched a cow. I hate all their sports teams. But if they catch a hurricane, we go help them. They help us when tragedy strikes. That should be the maximum level of hate people have toward each other. I hope Texas A&M explodes with no civilian casualties. (The students who cosplay as fascists are fair game. Grow up.)

I was raised in a very Catholic region. Our football team is called The Saints. We called the (then new) Protestant church “Mary Queen of the Parking Lot” because it was in a strip mall. Even now, I have no idea what the Protestant megachurch by the interstate is called because everyone calls it “Six Flags Over Jesus.” I’ve been to weddings there and I don’t know the name.

I say all that to say no one is weirder than people who convert to Catholicism. I’m agnostic and I try to follow the teachings of Jesus (as a philosopher) more than weird ass adult converts like JD Vance. Like, help the poor and turn the other cheek. Forgiveness is as much a blessing for you as it is for the person you’re forgiving. And JD Vance is like, “The Crusades were cool.” No! They sucked!

The most cringe part is JD Vance saying he’ll pray. Pray for what? That no fighter jets crash? That the bombs intended to kill one guy only destroy a few apartment complexes of civilians?

I don’t know if the strike was a good or bad decision or how precise it was. Adding a journalist to the group chat was bad enough. Don’t bring God into the group chat about killing people. Vance converted to Catholicism and I’m pretty sure there’s a line in the Catholic version of the Bible about how thou shalt not kill. It’s not an ambiguous verse like Deuteronomy where you can convince yourself it’s fine to eat crabs because of the New Testament.

I swear to God (good version), the only people who read the Bible are curious atheists and priests. Self-professed Christians are there for the potlucks and networking opportunities.

If we can’t count on corporate lawyers to have ethics, principles, and bravery, who can we count on?

Everyone else, I guess. I know a guy who sells frog legs and catfish and he would never do me wrong. If someone tried to fight me in front of his shed, he’d step in. Paul Weiss won’t fight for themselves, much less for you.

May I have asylum if I can usually read French but struggle with speaking it because of tenses and stuff?

Yet another fool underestimates French Rugby.

I’m confused by the map. Why aren’t parts of Colombia and (maybe) Peru ditching the U.S.? I love Cartageña but I don’t expect them to side with us when society collapses.

Also, if we’re fighting, we get Pablo Escobar’s hippos. I don’t know the right balance or if the rift hits Medellin but the hippo gap must be even before we fight.

I’m sorry I don’t know the name of Greenland’s prime minister. They just had an election and I don’t know who will ultimately put a coalition together. I saw puffins in Iceland once who were headed that way and I know ice core samples often come from Greenland. (Shout out to Greenland for puffins and science!) But please excuse my ignorance.

My original point was that JD Vance is irrelevant. I don’t remember his wife’s name but I know it’s like 4 or 5 letters and multiple vowels and syllables. UEFA is not correct, obviously, but it’s like that.

Let’s be honest. How many people would care if Greenland just threw him in an ice cave? His wife probably wouldn’t even look for him until she ran out of mascara. No one in America cares about JD Vance. People who loathe Trump or Ted Cruz or whomever have to force giving a shit about JD Vance.

As someone who is punctured and deflated, I am against throwing flat tires in furnaces. I stand with the tires.

I have very little connection to the past, personally, so I think of people as individuals and no one is responsible for the sins of the British Empire but the people alive then. A 25 year-old Israeli is just as removed from the Nakba as I am from the 7 Years War (aka the the French-Indian War in American textbooks).

Some people can trace their lineage back 50 generations and I love that. I had a project in college where we were supposed to make a family history. It was a population geography class and the professor was great. But I was like, “Shit, I know everyone was Cajun but I don’t know how they ended up in Louisiana.” I was at the Library of Congress looking up boat records on Microfiche trying to figure out who went to Quebec to be a fur trapper or whatever.

So, I put less weight on the past and more on the future. How can we get Palestinians autonomy and control over their land and water. The concept of someone not being able to get a passport because of bullshit from 80 years ago is anathema to me. We live in the future and we can’t right the wrongs of the past. But we can write the future.

Jeffrey Goldberg should lose his job too but for unrelated reasons. Good on him for publishing this responsibly but he sucks too. He was arguably the main cheerleader for the 2nd Iraq war.

I think there can be 2 states as long as certain people get thier comeuppance. Israel can and should exist. Palestine can and should exist. But if far right religious fanatics are open hand slapped in the face for global television audiences, peace is achievable. Some people need to be slapped before lasting peace is possible.

No one likes Hamas. No one likes Likud and friends. But a solid, televised open hand slap would unite the world.

I don’t run a magazine so I couldn’t report it but I was included on a top secret Signal group chat where administration officials talked about how long you should wait after Trump or Elon absolutely explodes a White House bathroom. A friend at OSHA accidentally added me.

The younger staffers were given a map of nearby Starbucks locations because sometimes, it would take hours for the West Wing loos to be re-certified as a safe workplace environment. And if the inspector forgot his Geiger counter, forget it. Bathrooms were off limits that day.
