For me, I like TSA because it stops non-terrorists from bringing weapons on the plane.
See, I like them because some weeks when I just need a human touch, I can always count on being selected for additional screening.

Beshitted takes the early lead!
I was hoping someone could make a portmanteau of facade, facetious, and fatuous.
i believe that describes the era we live in to a tee.
Factuous (fack-too-us) Age? Facticuous (fack-tɪ-shus) Era? The fact (ha ha) that it sounds almost like factual makes it even better.
If we wanted to also pay homage to the president's physique, we could go with "fatso-us"

NSIAP - Alex Van Halen with Anderson Cooper. Interesting personal interlude by Billy Bob Thornton - about the loss of his own brother - around 6:45
Around 12:00 mark:
Cooper: so your dad struggled with alcohol.
Al: He didn't struggle with it. He loved it. My grandfather died from it. My dad's brothers died from it. My dad died from it. I came very close. And Ed battled with it his whole life.Al says it was Dave's idea to have Jan Van Halen play clarinet on Diver Down's Big Bad Bill (is sweet William now). He thanks Dave for the idea.
Coming to post this... really good interview (and the BBT quote landed right at the heart of some personal stuff I've been navigating)

A reminder of the 13th Amendment:
That carve out is super important. And it's the reason why the builders and mega-ag entities that funnel billions to Trump will not lose a second of cheap labor. Here's how it works.
1) Juan is undocumented, and works for Perry Homes, making $25 per hour.
2) Juan is arrested, and charged with the crime of illegal entry. Juan pleads guilty/is quickly convicted.
3) Juan's home country won't accept him, or Juan has a big fine to work off, or is sentenced to a significant chunk of time. SO, Juan is sent to The Donald J. Trump Camp for Wayward Wetbacks to serve out his time, perhaps indefinitely (if his home country won't take him).
4) The DJTCFWW has a contract deal with Perry Homes. It sends busses of laborers, including Juan, to Perry Homes job sites at a rate -- to be paid to DJTCFWW, a private corporation, majority owned and controlled by DJT enterprises -- of $20 per hour. $.50 of that hourly rate is paid to Juan, in the DJTCFWW commissary account, which he can use to buy things like soap at $5 a bar.
5) RESULT: Perry Homes gets all the labor it wants, at a SAVINGS of $5 per hour, and DJT enterprises banks $19.50 per hour for the labor it provides to Perry Homes. Now, bidness is bidness, and of the $152 per day that DJT enterprises makes on Juan's labor, it spends $50 per day in transport, infrastructure, and mayo sammich costs. Meaning that DJT makes a measly profit of just over $100 per day per prisoner.
DJT Enterprises wins, bigly. Perry Homes wins, bigly.
Juan....gets assfucked. But, 13th Amendment bitches, so suck it!
Worth reposting- This is a great documentary:

Good question. WaPo has an article explaining it but I don’t have a sub so can’t read it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/07/16/how-railroads-highways-and-other-man-made-lines-racially-divide-americas-cities/

Not fully accurate- after they set the car on fire, they (somehow) miss the turn to Chicago and actually end up in Wisconsin (where the hotel is- hence the "log cabin" theme).
You can see the Wisconsin outline on Michael McKean's shoulder patch...

‘What many of us feel’: why ‘enshittification’ is Macquarie Dictionary’s word of the year
QuoteWe’re all living through the enshittocene, a great enshittening, in which the services that matter to us, that we rely on, are turning into giant piles of shit,” author Cory Doctorow wrote earlier this year.
In 2023, Doctorow coined the word “enshittification”, which has just been crowned Macquarie Dictionary’s word of the year. The dictionary defined the word as follows.
“The gradual deterioration of a service or product brought about by a reduction in the quality of service provided, especially of an online platform, and as a consequence of profit-seeking.”
Social media users, if they don’t know the word, will viscerally understand the concept, the way trolls and extremists and bullshitters and the criminally vacuous have overtaken the platforms.
