See Ghosty? U in good company.

Ghosty, I don’t get it.

You didn’t say anything about a discrete sniff.

I hope she a’ight.

Ima answer for Ghosty. He absolutely would not because he’s a gentleman who values the comfort of his companion for the evening. He’ll at least give her the courtesy of a spritz of moonshine in her dainty parts and a line of cocaine before proceeding to her pooper.

Word is… Stefawn and Witches Tits threw a stink when the Secretary of Agriculture told Trump that arresting farm workers might be a bad idea. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-deporting-farm-workers-noem-miller-b2771836.html

I love that we all have our own personal nemesis here.

Not according to his brother's lawyers.

Kids love fireworks, though.

You all ever feel like you're so in tune with the world that you're just like.... nothing?

You know…. You would think you could memorize your lines better in 3:22….

I had steak in honor of Buddy.

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers.

I have no idea what rallies you think these parents are taking their kids to, but if child endangerment is a possibility then those kids are already royally fucked. So I say take them and let nature take its course.

Nah, they already drank their blood after sacrificing them to Satan.

Most parents don’t take their kids to Klan rallies, so I’m sure it’s fine.

And he was apologetic too.

The stupidest and ultimately fatal things he's done is nominating idiots to do work they're not qualified to do. Magicians put a ton of time and effort into their illusions - one of the things I like about Penn and Teller's: Fool Us is that even though they're almost never fooled, they both show appreciation for the effort burgeoning talent magicians put into their acts. As all we all watch the political world, we can see the lack of effort that the likes of Noem, Hegsreth, Patel, and Bessent put into the policies they implement. Musk was likewise exposed as a fraud because the inattention to detail he put into his DOGE endeavors refuted the image he had created for himself while highlighting the similar poor workmanship in his new cars. More than just lacking knowledge, there is a fundamental lack of earnestness that permeates everything Trump touches and, perhaps not surprisingly, that's why Terry Moran's comment on Stephen Miller is so important. That man is a ghoul, but, as Moran pointed out, he believes in what he's doing. We're in a transitional phase with Trump and his monstrosity. The initial shock-and-awe approach was meant to be an opening salvo. He wanted his mindless flunkies to see that he had the power to implement his agenda and he had enough backing from the courts to suggest that his illegal actions could still work if his team believed in the common cause. That was only meant to give his fledgling demons the space to put their organizational skills to use and get the base mobilized to do their bidding. We're at the point where it's becoming clear that Trump's lieutenants aren't up to the task, and his bombastic tactics are going to start having diminishing returns. It's also no coincidence that this is all happening before the senate vote on his Big Beautiful Cluster-Fuck - one last show of strength as it were. Noem strong arming Sen Padilla might not have any impact on the vote itself, but it is emblematic of the tenuous relationship Trump has with the legislature. If the bill does not survive the Senate vote and has to go back to Congress, we'll start to see Trump's power unravel.

It doesn't work like that. Who's going to babysit the kid while they're at the event? That's what I mean by agency - parents have the right to their first amendment rights without having to prioritize obligations like childcare.

It's a probably a good thing you didn't progress to googling corn cobs. That will definitely put you on a list.

Everyone has rights, but those rights are dependent on an individual's agency. You are within your rights to drag your child to a rally for a political cause that they finds repugnant, but doing so does not mean they are automatically a party to that political movement in eyes of the law.

At the very least, this is going to put a damper on how quickly he can mobilize more troops. Just goes to show that the whole purpose of these endeavors is optics and political theater - a facade.

Of course it is, but I think the pragmatic reason Trump and Miller are doing this is because they need immigrants they can easily deport to justify their insane "3,000 deportations a day" promise. It's always about results with them, regardless of how contrived those results might be. Interestingly, it doesn't appear he ever officially ordered the National Guard troops, meaning they aren't currently eligible for pay, health care, and DVA services....

I wouln't call that a flaw. My thing has always been a variation of deconstruction in language, so naturally, I can appreciate the idea of AI using tokens to automate a process I use myself. Saying it's a stretch doesn't do justice to the true scope of deconstructionism. More importantly, we're still early in the new AI reality - we may know that a rigidity trap is on the horizon, but we won't know how it will manifest itself.

It’s fine when it explores interconnectivity of its “deconstructed “ elements, and in that sense, even vectors exist in balance with their oppositional forces. But seeking balance has a fundamental flaw that is frequently exploited by incomplete thought experiments: true balance can only be achieved in contained and controlled settings. Eventually that search for balancing forces gives way to a desire to restrict those vectors to just one path.
