Having a midlife crisis and suddenly dressing like you're really into the world’s shittiest rap-rock band generally doesn’t endear you with the public. Especially not when you’re laying people off by the tens of thousands.

I really doubt there will ever be an invasion of Canada. Barely anyone in America would go along with a massive war (and that’s what it would require). Congress doesn’t want it — not even Republicans. The business community doesn’t want it. Maybe a few hardcore MAGA types would be willing to fight for him but in reality, most MAGA types are old, fat slobs, not young people of fighting age.

Plus, we couldn’t occupy Iraq and Afghanistan. There’s no way we’d be able to occupy all of Canada. (Especially Quebec. It seems like they’d sooner fight to the death than become Americans.)

Elon is probably mad it launched on an Ariane 5 and it went so perfectly, we’ll get an extra decade of science out of it.

The Ariane 5 really was a reliable rocket. It had some failures early on, like basically all rockets, but then it had 82 successful launches in a row and then one partial failure before having another long perfect streak.

Obviously, more expensive than modern reusable rockets but JWST was important enough of a payload, that I’m glad NASA/ESA chose Ariane. (Plus, given JWST’s delays, I imagine when that decision was made, SpaceX was still iterating and having occasional explosions.)

Poor people in NYC don’t typically have cars or live in that part of Manhattan and there’s tons of public transportation options in that area. So, this is more like a tax on upper class people who refuse to ride the subway to pay for necessary upgrades to the subway and bus system. There’s even NJ Transit and the Long Island Railroad for the suburbs. (Not many NYC residents care what Staten Island thinks.)

Trump probably just hates it because it’s a progressive tax. But he left NYC and lives in Florida or his golf courses (and, occasionally, DC) so he doesn’t really get a say.

I know the point of this is probably just intimidation but 35 companies? Are there 35 social networks that moderate content? Why is Apple included? Is there some conspiracy theory that they’re censoring conservative App Store reviews?

Alaska gets the most federal dollars, per capita, is anyone is wondering why she’s pretending to care. Something like a third of the state’s budget comes from the federal government.

A unprovoked war, I guess, would be an obvious one for me. A debt default would probably lead to one since everyone’s retirement account would be fucked.

I mean, I’d join one now if unions and major non-profits organized one. But I’m self-employed so it’s not a risk for me. I get why a lot of people can’t take the risk of being fired.

They didn’t charge him.

They didn’t charge him. I imagine NOPD had bigger issues with Philly fans than some guy they probably half agree with.

How can you be a fan of Dolly Parton and homophobic? One of her best stories is when she entered a drag queen Dolly Parton look-a-like contest and lost. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/claim-dolly-parton-entered-look-130000474.html

I feel like Trump voters knew exactly who and what they were voting for. Everyone told them, including Trump. Project 2025 was available for everyone to read but Trump even said, “To me the most beautiful word in the dictionary is 'tariff’.” There were no secrets this election.

There’s no organization called “Antifa,” though. It’s just a concept. There’s organizations calling themselves “Black Lives Matter” but most of them are (or were) just trying to (a) organize or (b) get donations and do nothing. Both are just ideas meant to unite disparate groups.

It’s like saying there was an official organization called La Résistance in France during WWII. It’s distributed, small, independent groups with similar ideologies that got a name in retrospect. There’s no central organization.
