the CA congress hasn’t over-rode (overriden? overrid?) a veto since somewhere around 1980. the point of passing the bill but not overriding the veto is that way the congresspeople can signal to their constituents that they are progressive but they don’t actually have to change anything or make anything better.
Missile sirens in Tel Aviv and across central Israel. Another missile from Yemen fired right at Tel Aviv.
i was pretty mad that they took out liars dice in rdr 2. its a fun game that few people like/know how to play irl so it was nice being able to play in the game
i’d like to have a cabinet of curiosities
they should make an oceans 11 style ensemble movie where all the countries that bribed eric adams team up to break him out of prison
this is not exactly headline news to most, but the US Forest Service will not be hiring any seasonal employees at all next year, except for firefighters, due to budget constraints. the forest service employs thousands of seasonal workers across the country in trails, maintenance, archaeology, natural resource management and science positions, etc. without seasonals it’ll be a hell of a lot harder to keep the millions of acres of forest service land well maintained - especially considering that many non-fire seasonals are called in to help fight the fires in one way or another when they begin, and since so much FS land can hardly be called “well maintained” already. i have to imagine this will also put a strain on the national park service and other land management agencies who’ll have to deal with thousands of applicants to a far fewer number of jobs - not to mention the seasonals at those agencies who’ll be looking at this and seeing that their departments could be making the same decisions a few years down the road.
as always, congress can spend billions at the drop of a hat for bombing children across the planet, but breaks out the fucking abacus when it comes to hiring people who actually do useful and decent work. wonder how long before they just decide to straight up sell entire forest service ranger districts to timber companies or ranchers. can’t be too long, at this rate!

i remember at the time chuds saying “well you have to hand it to him, he is a hard worker, doing two rallies a day, hillary can’t even go to an event without collapsing afterwards”
this is the guy who was cranking off in porno stores every single day like 20ish years ago right? some people really are just operating on a completely different level of horney
haven’t seen the ocean in a few months. wonder what it’s been up to
it’s done that to me before re: captchas, reloading the page has reset it for me though. logging on to old.reddit even on desktop will take you to a completely separate login page and then when you log in it takes you to your front page (instead of the page you were on before) and on the new reddit site instead of old.reddit. i’ve also noticed it won’t let you browse the site at all on a private browser with a vpn on. it’s becoming more and more obnoxious to use
on the one hand, trump was helping strengthen the chinese military, wrote love letters to kim jong un, and has been endorsed by president xi, but on the other hand, if kamala wins israel won’t exist in 2 years. blessed to have two great candidates, so hard to choose!
tangentially news related - america’s worst magazine, the atlantic, has unveiled next month’s cover. it amazes me that liberals have spent 8 fucking years now convincing themselves that trump is not widely beloved by the entire republican party and that he is instead dragging them along. he had like 90+% approval among republicans during his term! but these fancy lads from the ivies have surrounded themselves with the half-dozen remaining die hard romneyites in the country and believe that they represent the party, not the skidoo dealership heir who blew the family fortune on the iraqi dinar and has been in prison since january 6
while i dont think she wants him to win i think hillary would love to not be the only person to have ever lost to donald trump lol
I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I guess I’m a genocide supporter just because I will be voting for the Genocide Party in November?
i guess ukraine, being in europe, is more like nato’s backyard or home turf than afghanistan (even though ukraine is obviously those things for russia, too). iirc, ukraine was the best armed and trained military in europe outside of russia before the war. nato had been pumping it full of guns, money, and specialists since 2014 so a loss after all that, and right on their borders, will sting more than the loss in afghanistan. ukraine losing also means a win for russia, while the loss in afghanistan was really only a win for the taliban, who of course aren’t really big players on the world stage
dirtwit is actually pretty good. very curious to know the context for the time(s?) someone has used the phrase “dognozzle”… or maybe on second thought i shouldn’t be. the first thought that came to mind was a nozzle that released dogs, not a dog’s nozzle
just get a good job and buy a big house and some land! wow, it’s so easy and within reach for every american, i can’t see why it wouldn’t be within reach for literal refugees too!
oct 7 could barely even be considered “preemptive,” even before that date 2023 was already the deadliest year to that point for palestinian children since israel’s founding iirc
here’s a very interesting article from Tony Dokoupil: https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2014/04/my-adult-circumcision-how-i-made-cut-my-new-religion URL ought to tell you everything you need to know
adult converts, we need to figure out what’s going on there. i’m used to adult catholic converts being weird so this is a nice change of pace if nothing else
