Minnesota hot dish with 'FUCK ICE' written in tater tots over French's onions so you don't have to argue which is better. Fuck ICE!

A twitter post with an image of water being poured into a glass. @klara_sjo says, "There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in our entire solar system." On the one hand I think it would be funny to make jokes at Trump's expense in the alt text of images, but on the other I'm trusting that those fascist assholes wouldn't even look at alt text because they don't believe in disabilities. Or perhaps that fluoride causes vision problems.
Quoted text from image: "Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in, according to Berulis' disclosure. The attempts were "near real-time," according to the disclosure. Those attempts were blocked, but they were especially alarming. Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts—and the person had the correct username and password, according to Berulis. While it's possible the user was disguising their location, it's highly unlikely they'd appear to be coming from Russia if they wanted to avoid suspicion, cybersecurity experts interviewed by NPR explained." Guys, this is really fucking serious. This is the smoking gun that connects the dots to Russia. There are only two possibilities: either DOGE people are so fucking leaky that they can't manage to immediately expose brand-new usernames and passwords, OR MORE LIKELY they actively sent that information to Russia, either by a DOGE lackey who is a Russian agent or by design, in that DOGE appears to be exfiltrating data that Russia in particular would want. Why would they want NLRB data? It allows them to crack down on union organization, which is a roadblock to fascism. Russia would prefer a fascist America that it could bribe properly rather than all the previous patriotic presidents we've had who actually respected the country they led and didn't treat it like their own personal sandbox to bury their gold-plated shits in. This ends with America at the bottom. Russia won, and now they will act like termites in the timber of our democracy.
An image of Elon Musk bribing Wisconsin voters while wearing a garish cowboy-style Tesla Giga Texas belt buckle that says, "In Musk we trust - don't mess with" (presumably either Texas or Tesla), a United States Air Force Academy jacket with a Starship 19 patch (for maximum advertising impact of both his grifty companies), and a cheese head foam crown to underscore that his grifty companies are indirectly funding the massive bribery he performed on stage in Wisconsin while believing that he's a kingmaker and not just a rich petulant asshole. This is the second time he's had to remove videos that explicitly state he has paid for votes in Wisconsin. Not only did the voters overwhelmingly slap his $20 million in the face, he has managed to look like an even bigger idiot than previously seen before. Every sartorial choice he makes is a calculation, a story that he is trying to craft like how SpaceX is basically the Air Force at this point, and how his majesty's company Tesla has taken up residence in Texas rather than China, and how all of the fucking cheese whiz in that guys stupid head is literally leaking out the top now. On a more personal note, I heard him speak for the first time ever a few days ago. That seems notable. His accent is carefully constructed to appear vaguely American at first glance, but you can hear the South African leak out like his cheese whiz brains when he gets mad and calls Governor Tim Walz (an actually likable and accomplished man who doesn't pay anyone to 'messagize' his wardrobe) a 'jerk' and a 'creep' which means (according to the conservative projection principle) that Elon himself knows he's a jerk and a creep. Keep it up, Herr Plugs.
Here's the thing: all these restaurants currently filing for bankruptcy protection like Red Lobster and TGIF have been mainstays of the middle class for a generation. The fact that they are folding points to a lack of patrons, and that's pretty telling. If tits can't motivate a dinner choice, what can? Our middle class can't even afford to ogle anymore. On the one hand, good riddance to bad rubbish, but on the other, look out for Perkins and IHOP to start getting bent over the old Cracker Barrel, and when that happens we're seeing the end of America for real. The bright side is that this should make room for mom and pop restaurants in the suburbs again, not that there were ever there to begin with. End-stage capitalism appears good for at least one thing here. At least until Walmart starts opening in-store breastaurants like Buttfuckers. Let's go Brandon! Addendum: I always hate having the little red underlines that mean I've misspelt a word. Usually I add them to my local dictionary and call it a day, I know how to spell and the little red underlines are really more for typos. That said, I'm not sure I need to add 'breastaurant' or 'buttfuckers' to my dictionary. But I want to thank Trump voters for making me have to make an explicit* choice here. *'Explicit' is used in the same sense the AP News did when choosing the word 'bust' in their title. It's just [chef's kiss].
Kid Rock leaning on the Resolute Desk as Trump watches on, smiling at the fucking God-awful I guess you'd call it an outfit that Kid is wearing. It's got like maybe angel wings, or possibly a white embroidered boa off either shoulder, a few white stars down the sleeves, and a big American flag with like twelve stars across Kid's lower thorax. That's not even the really offensive part of this photograph, it's that Zelenskyy wore something infinitely less stupid and got yelled at, and Kid is wearing fuckin sunglasses. In the Oval Office. Kid looks like President Camacho urging his constituents to drink Brawndo because it's what incels crave. I just can't get over Kid's weird outfit. It's not even sure which decade it's in, or which musical genre. It would be right at home on a 1970s-era Elvis or Elton John, if he'd been bonked on the head a bit by his costumer. I just can't believe Trump would want another kid wiping boogers on his desk after he just had it shined by El Salvadorean prison inmates.
JD Vance dressed like Volodymyr Zelenskyy for some reason, instead of the suit he wore while publicly embarrassing himself in front of the Ukrainian president at the Oval Office. He's got that look of dumb concentration dogs get when thoughtfully licking their crotches. The whole Signal fiasco gave us all a lot of insight into the day-to-day of these people, and how their work conversations show they actually believe the bullshit they're peddling and what a bunch of insecure dipshits these people running our country are. There's no master plan, there's no good reason for the ideology, it's just ideology on full blast with gatling guns and an eye toward ideological nukes. Hegseth had about as much grasp on the military situation as Musk does on SpaceX, which is to say he's familiar with the organization he controls but has no fucking clue how they really work and any successes are completely due to the unelected and unappointed ACTUAL people who know what they are doing. To quote JD Vance, "What?" though his confusion is understandable if that Hegseth Houthi text came simultaneously with JD's couch. Take that sweater off Vance, you didn't earn it like Zelenskyy did.
Elon Musk with a Trump hat perched high aloft his mighty brow, praying to the gods of politics and commerce with an expression of confusion on his statesmanlike visage. Incidentally, I love that bsky allows 2k characters, because a picture really is worth a thousand words. Sometimes it's hard to describe exactly what's going on in a way that really captures, which is frustrating, but honestly I fucking love this space. I heard Elon took a class on power poses, which now makes him look ridiculous not just because it looks stupid but because you know he's self-consciously throwing praying hands because he thinks it makes him look like he's intelligently paying attention, when you can easily tell from his tweets that he's really listening to the oompah band playing under his enormous trump hat.
