2025 Thread of the Rains
That place crossed my mind yesterday when the updates about the camps getting flooded started coming out, as that's where my troop went in the summer when I was a scout. Never flooded when I was there, but it's pretty crazy that they have the campsite in that deep valley and along that creek.

Happy Back it up Terry Day
- 2025 Thread of the Rains
I’ve been reading this thread all day in short bursts, and it’s heartbreaking to hear that so many innocent lives may have been lost—my sincerest condolences to any of you who may have lost someone or who knows someone who has been. And as a dad who sent my daughter off to be in the hands of strangers in the past for some nice outdoor fun, this has got to rank up there with the worst nightmare. I’m so sorry for anyone who has been affected. There will be plenty of time in the coming days, weeks, or months to point fingers, but right now, can we give that a rest? At the same time, anyone who fucked up here MUST be held accountable. Don’t lose sight of that as things settle down, because without demanding answers, nothing will get fixed. When the mourning is done, put the bastards’ feet to the fire and don’t allow the lazy “it wasn't my fault” Uvalde type of excuses let them off the hook...for whatever reason. We are all, together, stuck on this planet and in this state. If leadership failed pathetically, it’s time to get new fucking leaders. In the meantime, remember your humanity and take care of one another. We’re all in this together, and it’s imperative that we must do better, including giving a shit about the suffering hearts of strangers. I know that’s something I could definitely be better at, but I will never forget if this was in any way avoidable.- The Climate thread

My dude, I'm just playing the game of "American Politics 2025: MAGA!1!!" As you've correctly pointed out, throw everything out the window and find a candidate who can just win, baby.- The Democratic Party
So, uh, what forms did Trump fill out, or grades did he have to get into Wharton? His transcript from when he was there? When's all that shit going to be released/leaked? Edit: I mean, if we're going to be concerned about academic qualifications or whether someone got an unfair leg-up on getting into a prestigious college, shouldn't we be focusing on the guy in the Oval Office? Or are we only concerned about that sort of thing when it comes to students from a different background? If it's the case that we're going to be picky and choosy about when we apply standards, then why give a fuck at all?- Wordle [spoilers inevitable but discouraged]

I see nothing other than your quoting of my post, and I've checked two laptops, plus a cellphone. What's your point? What's wrong with being upset by the deaths of both sets of innocents?- 4 University of Idaho students killed in home - Suspect in Custody
I mean, there are psychopaths among us, for sure. There's nothing we can do about their existence, but what in God's Earth says we should empower them? Seriously. I've got to say, turning off "give a shit" for people based on their social, political, racial, national, or religious standing is just so fucking gross, but that's where we're at when we pick and choose victims based in teevee attention.- 4 University of Idaho students killed in home - Suspect in Custody
Sounds familiar. I get the righteous indignation. People get unjustifiably screwed on "deals." Unfortunately, it happens all the time, whether that happens in the jury box or at the ballot one. In this particular case, unless there's some sort of complete and utter societal breakdown, we know that this individual will no longer be capable of harming other innocents. At the end of the day, and in the abstract, we can be fairly certain that guy will die in a place where he's not likely to do much more harm to society at large. At least there's a cap to contain that damage. Sure, none of that can truly assuage the revenge, harm, or any other hateful thoughts they might feel, and I certainly feel an immense sense of pity for the shit they're going through, but there's some semblance of justice - even if it doesn't scratch that itch. I will say, however, I don't quite get the compulsion/obsession with this kind of stuff when there are so many other examples of people getting shit on across the country and around the world where the victims are even more numerous, the crimes are equally (if not more) heinous, and the damage is more widely spread among the thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of victims of injustice. It's the picking and choosing of folks we should feel sorry for that kind of bugs me. Four young women are brutally murdered? Grab the pitchforks. It's an unforgivably horrendous crime. Four hundred thousand old people die early deaths because their government cuts off medical care in order to give tax breaks to billionaires? Hey, there's a couple of brown kids who speak a diffferent language or worship a different god. Therefore, their lives are expendable? Let's not discuss that in polite company so as to not disturb social etiquette and broach the topic of politics. It's horrible that those young women died, but this double-standard shit is so out of whack, inconsistent, and immoral.- The Democratic Party
Almost a third of Congressional Democrats is ten years past retirement age, and that's not even counting Schumer from this list.- Trump’s America
I'd never heard of this guy before. He was fucking psychotic fraud. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Kinkade- The Democratic Party
A competent party should have a data team that would've put together a table showing how this the Big Bullshit Bill would affect the constituencies of every county, congressional district, and state, blasting that info out to every local news station and newspaper across the country along with every state and local official of any capacity (regardless of party) and updating it with every change throughout the negotiations. They would also have provided key talking points to any state/local Democratic official and leader of any stripe, all the way down to the local precinct captain, with specific instructions on how to go on a furious attack against any and every Republican at every level of government. Shit, if the Upshot's data team can aggregate this shit with updates on the fly, then a national party should be able to do it, too.
