- Reposted by Bryan ElliottOn that Iran point... Maybe show people what Iran was like in the 70s. Extremist bizarre invented religious zealotry destroyed the greatest scientific culture. Women had rights. All the good stuff. But when leaders claim religions, it's all perverse weaponry to enforce their own will on everyone.

- Reposted by Bryan Elliott@marcorubio.bsky.social Your hypocrisy is astounding. I don't remember you telling House and Senate Republicans to butt out when they followed Trump's lead and interfered with President Biden's foreign policy.

- Reposted by Bryan ElliottJust so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

- Reposted by Bryan ElliottI see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

- Stop throwing ads into video I'm already paying once to watch, Amazon, you greedy fucks. It takes me about 2 minutes to do the other thing. At which point, you're not getting ad money, and I'm just a little more inclined to drop Prime altogether.

- Amendment proposal: the President remains immune to most criminal claims, with the exception that, should the SEC find that he knowingly interfered with markets, he can be prosecuted, with the maximum penalty amounting to the demonstrated change in market cap.
- Literally all markets down between 15-20% since his inauguration, 12-15% since the tariff double-down. I hope you enjoyed your 401ks while you had 'em.
- Still down ~7% from inauguration and 5% from the tariff double down, now that Trump's panicked and backed down. Damage is damage.

- I mean, in fairness, corporate e-mails have been summarily ignored like meaningless, AI-authored drivel for decades. If no one's gonna read them, might as well save all the trouble of writing them.

- "You're so mature for your age" - you've just misjudged my age. Rather than being a well-centered 20-something, I'm a man-child creeping up on fifty. I don't blame you; the mohawk throws most folks off, and the siggi heritage means I'll age all at once when I run out of olive oil.

- This is your daily reminder that Andrew Tate is an angry, miserable person trying to self-soothe by selling his pain and loneliness as wisdom. It's not. If you think that dude is wise, you've got much bigger problems.
- TIL that "viscous fingering" is a science term, and has to do with how fluids are displaced when constrained to a plane, and not that other thing the term evokes.
- So I'd never had macarons before. I picked some up, just to try 'em. Turns out, they're basically cake and icing with a sugar glaze. If you don't know me, I'm physically repulsed by most icings. Has to do with having eaten a gallon tub of buttercream when I was a kid, and deeply regretting it.
- What gets me is that there are folks that actually believe that a man whose entire career has been overpromising and underdelivering is making honest reports on how he's delivering on his promises. He became a billionaire via a legal form of fraud.
