The Unoriginal Wombat of Kombat

Gonna make dinner, sit down, and watch something lighthearted and silly to take my mind off the chaotic bullshit constantly occurring. Tonight's choice... 'The Road'. That one should soothe me quite well, methinks.

I know pretty much everyone here has seen this, but... my word... this is absolutely glorious!

Earlier today, I heard a grown man say to another grown man, "Peace out, Girl Scout." ... This has now been added to my lexicon.

HR: "We need to have a meeting." Me: "Okay... for what, exactly?" HR: "Some of your co-workers have been complaining..." ... Long story short, apparently it's rude to poke someone in the forehead and say "Skip intro" when they won't get to the point.

The most powerful I ever feel is when I'm stopped at a light and a pedestrian walks in front of me. "Yes, stranger, go forth and trust that I will not murder thee."

Here's an "AITA" post... Am I a bad person for finding so much pleasure in YouTube videos of people crashing their motorcycles? In 90%+ of the clips, the rider is purely at fault for shit riding skills and/or decisions.

Bill Owens is out as EP of '60 Minutes', citing Paramount's continued push to determine content.

Looks like Desantis has gotten himself into a bit of a pickle.

For the record, I am advocating for due process under the law for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Come get me, Mr. Gorky. Find me, arrest me, charge me. See what happens. I came here to kick ass and eat appleasuce, and I'm all out of applesauce, you big dumb bitch.

Nothing to see here, folks... nothing to see. Move along, move along. Krasnov is simply giving his owner/employer what he wants.

Don't expect a "bless you" after your fourth sneeze. Wrap it up and get that shit under control.

Someone distilled this for me and it just makes sense... The difference between liberals and conservatives in modern times: Liberals will feed 100 people for fear one of them may go hungry. Conservatives will NOT feed 100 people for fear one of them doesn't need it.

I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career.

Here’s the thing… If I wanted to crash the stock/trading markets quickly, I would enact sweeping and ginormous tariffs on imported goods & products. That would be step 1. Here’s the neat part – there's no step 2. This isn't because they’re stupid, but because they're smart. It's intentional.

This is awesome - an easy way to find your people and get involved!

I wonder... who will be our General Bethlehem? Who will be the mayor of Bridge City?

C'mon, people of Florida. Do some Florida shit this weekend.

Heard a kid at the store yesterday refer to celery as "juicy hair", and I can't help but think that's a great band name.

There's a horse in the hospital again.

It feels apropos to read some Vogon poetry right now...

Here's what I wonder... What's the current over/under on how long until the BlueSky user count surpasses the DJIA?

Looks like that "Dow 40k" watch thing was short-lived. Yeeeshus, this is getting ugly. But, hey, at least we get to "own the libs" and not see preferred pronouns in email signatures any more.-

The off-hours market changes are gonna be bad. Really, really bad.

Can we please stop saying 'DOGE' is real? It's not. It's made-up. It takes an act of Congress to establish a governmental agency/department. That hasn't happened. Cuts/firings taking place aren't just the result of carelessness and cruelty. People are capitulating their Cabinet authority.

He's still going. I'm gonna log off for a few... I want to watch history unfold, unfettered and unabridged. Love to you all. Love to you all. Love to you all.

YouTube just crashed. That's how busy it was. The last "live" viewers count I saw was 187k. Watching now on C-SPAN.

"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. While it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it." - Cory Booker quoting B. Learned Hand (1944)

It's a pity that not one GOP senator - not a single, solitary one - has the salt to go to the Senate floor and support Sen. Booker.

Booker is STILL going. Holy shit.

In August of 1957, SC Senator Strom Thurmond filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes. I wanna see Booker fucking smash that mark.

Follow @theatlantic.com !!!

Of course he wants to do this

Pete Hegseth couldn't lead thirsty ducks to water.

Signalgate is a massive failure of one of the most basic precepts of national security and communications – don’t share classified or sensitive data via unapproved methods. That’s the scandal. THAT PART. Not that Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor of The Atlantic, was errantly included in the group chat.

🤣

All of this, right here. ⤵️

OK, this is a great laugh

You know, I took acid in college a few times, and even that didn't prepare me for this insanity

Sound advice here

Welp, there it is. The thing that turned my Friday into a shit-show of fuckweasel energy.

::: Butthead chuckle :::

Of COURSE he did 🤦‍♂️

Happy Friday, fellow Skydivers! Reminder: use butter, drink the drink, smoke the smoke, eat more bacon, dessert should be first, hold the door for a stranger, play with your pet, and let the sun warm your face. Allow yourself to relax, recover, and recharge - self-care isn't selfish.

Elbows up, everyone! Let's work to get TSLA <$114/share!

OK, SkyDivers, time to feed the pruppets and the peeples. It's whiskey:38pm, and I'm signing off. ... Fuckin' hell, what a day.

If this keeps up, someone is going to get hurt, or worse.

@fetterman.senate.gov, So, you draw the line at "undignified antics", but you dress like an overgrown bridge troll. Put on a suit, you dilettante. Voting "nay" on the CR is not - I repeat, NOT - a vote to shut down the government. Grow up and start representing your constituents for a change.
