  1. I can’t believe I am growing fond of the Philadelphia Eagles. Crazy times.
  2. Sucker? Bullshit. She is an actress. Fuck her.
  3. The thread is about ignoring SCOTUS decisions. Today’s ruling by a federal judge states the administration is not complying with its earlier order. Any on topic comment?
  4. Used to be able to embed YouTube videos, but, now I can’t. (I am deleting the ?, and everything after that, WTB.) Nevertheless, this Trae Crowder video is pretty damn good, and he makes a convincing presentation of the value of the Ground News website. https://www.youtube.com/watch
  5. We might need a new old saw. Plane crashes no longer come in threes. This one mashes up Motley Crue and a plane from Austin on an Arizona runway. “One person has died and four others were injured after an aircraft collision on the runway Monday afternoon at the Scottsdale Airport. Airport officials say at around 2:30 p.m., a small jet incoming from Austin, TX, veered off the runway and collided with a larger jet. Officials believe the landing jet's left main gear failed upon landing, leading to the crash. Five people were aboard the plane, one of whom died at the scene, according to Scottsdale Fire officials. Three other people were taken to a hospital to be treated for various injuries, and a fifth person refused treatment. One of the planes is registered to Chromed in Hollywood, LLC, based out of Franklin, Tennessee. The president of Chromed in Hollywood, LLC is Vince Neil, according to incorporation papers from the Wyoming Secretary of State. Vince Neil is a singer and the frontman of the rock band Mötley Crüe. It is unclear if Neil was involved in the crash but the talent agency that represents Neil tells ABC15 that they are aware of the incident. Surveillance video shown to ABC15 depicted the nose of one of the planes skidding across the tarmac before colliding with the other plane.“ https://www.abc15.com/news/region-northeast-valley/scottsdale/scottsdale-airport-runway-closed-after-plane-crash-injuries-unclear
  6. If this is real: then,
  7. The beet has passion; but not the cold passion of a radish.
  8. Came across this Relix interview with Oteil Burbridge about Phil. Relix promises to release more interviews about Lesh with other folks. This is a good interview, and here is my favorite part: https://relix.com/articles/detail/never-play-it-the-same-way-once-oteil-burbridge-on-phil-lesh/
  9. Cutting spending in one area just gives turnip more money to spend in other places. Debt will continue to balloon.
  10. Mother of God. 😱
  11. Get your flu shots early and often. https://promedmail.org/
  12. Lot of hungry people not going to be fed.
  13. Intellectually dishonest turnip apologist thread shit.
  14. While I don’t recall using the term “wheels,” it doesn’t bother me near as much as your use of the term “retarded.”
  15. Good chance this is the answer: ”Elon Musk wants the judge who blocked his access to the Treasury Department payment systems to be impeached. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled early Saturday that only civil servants with a job-related need could access Treasury’s payment systems, explicitly barring Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The decision, prompted by 19 Democratic state attorneys general, cited concerns over sensitive data security and potential misuse of federal funds.” https://balleralert.com/profiles/blogs/elon-musk-calls-for-judges-impeachment-after-treasury-access-blocked/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=bluesky So, they’re muddying language and conflating a judge’s decision with unelected actors taking the reins of government.
  16. I don’t have a twitter account, but I assumed Lee is talking about the activities of Doge. The screenshot I posted was from Bluesky.
  17. Fair enough. Nevertheless, force the AG to countermand a judge’s directive. Let’s get this abscess out in the open.
  18. I prefer to think the land of Texas put him down. But, sure, @Statsman, it is much worse to ridicule a powerful man in a wheelchair than it is to enact policy that actually hurts everyone who is also in a wheelchair. Ask your daughter to finish this old saw, “Sticks and stones …”
  19. Sure, the judiciary relies on the executive to enforce its rulings, but a judge can also order a US Marshal to enforce its rulings.
  20. turnip’s turd tonguers are manipulating Google results to instill fear in folks. An example is that news articles are being post dated, because ICE isn’t meeting their quota. ”Since the election of President Donald Trump — who ran on mass deportations of undocumented immigrants — immigrant communities have feared increased crackdowns by the new administration. A quick Google search for arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) results in pages of press releases from the agency announcing arrests and raids. But many of those articles, Guardian tech reporter Dara Kerr found, were outdated. For example, an operation in Colorado happened in 2010, and arrests in Wisconsin happened in 2018. AlterNet found a press release about arrests in Idaho is from 2010 as well, but the date on the Google result says January 24, 2025. Indeed, the outdated press releases all had a note at the bottom of the page: “Updated: 01/24/2025.” There was a lot of noise online,” an immigration lawyer who noticed the pattern told the Guardian. “And it was creating terror in the community.” She remained anonymous out of fear of retaliation by the Trump administration. “Every article was updated on the 24th, which was causing the Google SEO to interpret that as a recently updated article, and therefore rank it higher,” a tech expert who also chose to remain anonymous said.“ https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/creating-terror-trump-administration-accused-of-manipulating-google-to-send-a-message/ar-AA1yxyAW
  21. Going off planet allows me some joy. ”Astronomers have discovered what may be the largest-scale structure in the known universe — a group of galaxy clusters and clusters of galaxy clusters that spans roughly 1.3 billion light-years across and contains a mind-boggling 200 quadrillion solar masses. The newfound structure is dubbed Quipu after an Incan system of counting and storing numbers using knots on cords. Like a Quipu cord, the structure is complex, made up of one long filament and multiple side filaments. It spans roughly 1.3 billion light-years (more than 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way), potentially making it the largest object in the universe in terms of length, beating out previous record-holders such as the Laniākea supercluster. https://www.livescience.com/space/astronomy/astronomers-discover-quipu-the-single-largest-structure-in-the-known-universe
