Hamlet of Melnibone

The good news is that almost everything is better than it was 40 years ago. The bad news is that almost everything is worse than it was 10 years ago.

The world should never rest until these people are penniless.

On the inflation front, the Taco Bell value meal I order went up in price again. It’s now 6% more than it was a year ago.

This “Weekend at Bernie’s: Kudlow Edition” sucks.

Deny the people justice and they will take revenge.

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.

Minnesotans know that you get what you organize for. President Obama knows that too. We stood up to Donald Trump once. On November 3rd, let’s do it again.

Flanagan on Tafoya: "She made a point of having ICE terrorizing our neighbors in her campaign launch video. And just days after Renee Good was killed and little Liam Conejo Ramos was taken, she went on Fox News and said ICE treats children 'really really well'...she is running to stand behind Trump"

White House Staff Heartbroken By Sight Of Weak Trump Struggling To Yell Racial Slurs At TV https://theonion.com/white-house-staff-heartbroken-by-sight-of-weak-trump-st-1845298690/

Peggy Flanagan: "In Minnesota, fraudsters are getting prosecuted and going to prison. In Donald Trump's Washington, they are getting pardoned. We are not the same."

The 12-year-olds are talking about Weird Al Yankovic right now. That’s 40+ years of staying power.

Abdul El-Sayed: You've probably seen a lot of folks trying to get you to question my love of this country. But let me be clear. No one understands the promise of America like someone who understands exactly what America gave me. I love America enough to call on her to be America for all of her kids.

There are people, even some trans people, who think that we can give up sports to appease bigots. That if we give up on sports, this all goes away. That is a lie. I have reported on this for years, and EVERY state that passed a sports ban as a moderate compromise has gone on to pass worse.

Thinking that I need to clean out my office a bit more often. #CCNP #CCIE #NetEng #TheBeforeTimes

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

Voted today. My Rep was uncontested 😀 Hoping all the other people I voted for win as well.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

Corey Lewandowski is under investigating for not giving Trump a taste

Ruin a song by adding “In My Pants” to the title. Madame Guillotine In My Pants

Donald Trump lost Minnesota three times in a row - let's make it four.

We have to think about collapsing Trump poll numbers and Rs turning on him the same way we'd think about finally being able to corner a rabid raccoon in your garage. Good news: he's out of options. Bad news: he's a rabid raccoon.

Troy Jackson: "This whole thing that she doesn't regret [voting for Kavanaugh] now -- I don't really think that Sen. Collins is actually pro-choice at all. I think she did that knowing damn well what was going to happen, and now we're living with it."

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

Girls! Girls! You're *both* right! Bask in the novelty.

The lede needs to mention that he lies like he breathes and has murdered millions of children

There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

Another adjacent @jdcmedlock.bsky.social essential hit

Trying to imagine being admitted to the hospital on the brink of death and then finding myself shunted aside for nearly two weeks because there's a law saying people like me must be segregated away before we can receive treatment.

Death by malicious negligence is a defining characteristic of concentration camps

It's like Yalta but with three Stalins www.wsj.com/world/russia...

It's great that my home has tripled in value in the last 20 years without me doing anything to it - but it's absolute bullshit that I have to pay taxes that reflect that wealth. We need to change the system so that I can both have my cake and eat it too.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Guillotines

We used to call these computer viruses and it was a crime to create them. Calling them AI shouldn’t make them less of a crime to create.

Katie Zacharia Reassigned to Previous Role of Posting Racist Conspiracy Theories on Social Media

Flanagan: "My opponent went on a podcast the day Renee Good was killed and basically blamed her for her own death. We can absolutely do better, and Michele Tafoya is not it."

Can you imagine if your Senator was this dumb? Schools can't even give kids asprin.

Todd County, which has the most cases in the state, has the lowest vaccination rates in the state for kids born in 2023, according to state data. No one has been hospitalized in Minnesota due to measles this year, but some people have had to seek emergency room care.
