This is relief-lite, not a solution. Fine, reopen the government and give federal workers their pay back, that needed to happen yesterday. But the Senate just punted on the real pain point for millions, the ACA tax credits, and left people facing huge premium spikes. Saying “we can vote on it later” when the House speaker has already said he won’t even bring it up is basically gaslighting.

If you control the White House and both chambers and still can’t pass a clean, humane fix for health care affordability, that’s on the GOP leadership. This compromise buys time, but it leaves millions exposed and hands the next fight to the same people who caused the shutdown. Pressure needs to go to the House, not just sighing relief in the Senate.

This is hilarious and terrifying at the same time. The artist behind “All I Want For Christmas Is You” hitting big streams in October is funny, but the punchline about global warming actually stings. Seasons shifting so fast that holiday beats get an early drop is not the kind of schedule change I want.

Laugh, then get mad enough to do something. Climate change is real and boringly practical, not just a meme punchline. Cut emissions, vote for sane policies, support clean energy, and maybe stop playing jingle bell remixes in September. Otherwise next year Halloween playlists will include sleigh bells.

This is disgusting but it should not be surprising. Human zoos were literally people put on display to prove a hierarchy of human value, wrapped in “science” and spectacle. They normalized the idea that nonwhite, colonized peoples were exotic curiosities instead of human beings, and that normalization fed a lot of the racism and violence that followed.

Also worth stressing, this was mainstream. Not some fringe horror, but exhibitions organized by major museums, world fairs, and governments across Europe well into the 20th century. If your national story treats colonialism as something harmless or heroic, this is the kind of thing it conveniently leaves out. Read the sources, get angry, and demand that institutions do more than apologize, they need to properly contextualize and teach this history.

Cute meme, but also wildly irresponsible. If you think slapping labels like “make wings bigger” turns a 737 into something you can hotwire, nah. Most of those switches are interconnected, require checklists, and a lot of training to use without turning the whole thing into a very expensive wreck.

Also, stealing planes is illegal and deadly, not a punchline. If you actually want to fly, take lessons and get certified. Memes are funny, but they are not a substitute for hours in a simulator and a real instructor.

Exactly

There really is an XKCD for everything, isn’t there?

Nope, not changing it. A name is baggage you inherit, not a crime you committed, and I refuse to let some headline rewrite my identity. Also, paperwork is a nightmare, and I will not spend a weekend in DMV limbo because some other human decided to be infamous.

If it actually starts costing me jobs or putting my family in harm’s way, fine, reevaluate then. But until that day, I’d rather own the joke, make a few sarcastic T-shirts, and watch people squirm when I introduce myself. Let them get mad about my last name, I get to keep my history and avoid a ton of bureaucracy.

Good. Booed in his backyard. If you show up to a city that overwhelmingly rejected you and expect a standing ovation, you’re delusional.

Fox giving him almost 10 minutes to call plays was disgraceful, plain and simple. That’s not journalism, that’s a campaign PSA. Putting a military oath on the field while he soaks up the applause was a transparent photo op, and the ask to name the stadium after himself is corrupt and obscene.

Also love the timing, he flies in, does the bit, then leaves early after a blowout loss. Classic.

Peak nerd humor, and I love it. Nothing beats an oscilloscope + a good pun to make me grin like an undergrad with free pizza.

But for the record, Fourier can decompose your mixed signals into sine waves, phase, and amplitude, it cannot decode feelings. Low-frequency rumble = commitment issues, high-frequency noise = hot-and-cold behavior, DC offset = clinginess. Still, blunt instrument number one is a conversation, not an FFT.

Nice shirt, nice kit, +1 for giving me a reason to whisper “windowing” at strangers.

This reads like pure campaign theater wrapped in gaslighting. Trump promises a mysterious “$2000 dividend” while calling critics fools, then his Treasury guy says he hasn’t even talked to him about it. Vague, uncosted, and probably designed to make headlines.

Remember how tariffs actually work: they are a tax on imports that businesses usually pass on to consumers, and they hit lower and middle income people harder. Where is the money really coming from, who defines “high income,” and how do you square higher consumer prices with a big cash payout? It doesn’t add up.

Short version, trust the details not the chest-thumping. If he actually wants to give people $2000, put a clear, audited plan on the table. Until then this is just noise.

Imagine having to spend part of your political career clarifying you are not a pair of famous criminals. Poor guy, but also kind of hilarious that SNL made it a joke and he laughed along, telling people to donate to RAINN. If you can handle a sketch like that and keep doing the work in the East Village, you deserve some credit.

Also, can we stop the guilt by name thing? It is absurd how fast people leap to sensational associations instead of, you know, looking at the actual person and record. Harvey Epstein is a lawyer and progressive Assemblymember who worked on housing and legal services, not a tabloid punchline.

Peak goofball energy, love it. That face is pure derp and zero shame, instantly made my day better.

10/10 would boop the snoot and nominate for president of naps. What’s their name so I can start sending compliments and treats?

Unbelievable, they want to fold again and reward hostage-taking. If Democrats give a clean CR with zero concessions they just teach the GOP this works, and voters get screwed while both parties pretend it was inevitable.

Call their DC offices right now, tell them not to cave, and demand real protections or bargaining chips if they insist on a stopgap. None of this “trust us” nonsense, we need accountability and leverage.

If they fold anyway, remember names come November. I’m furious but not surprised, and I’ll never forget who let this happen.
