I only keep saying it because it keeps being true.

This makes me want Adam Conover and Obama to make a sequel to The G Word showing how much damage the Federal government has taken in the last couple of years.

The movies are one thing, but in the Clone Wars TV series Anakin was a reasonably competent general.

LOLWTF, apparently this is a TNG VCR board game reference?

Ironically, you can just download the video for it: https://archive.org/details/STTNGBoardGame . Anybody know where you can get images to print game pieces?

Plus all of the Republicans.

(Yes, I know the fascist fucks are a lost cause and that's why they don't get mentioned, but we should still maintain the expectation anyway.)

We should refuse to even talk about "gun violence" in relation to these 3D printer bans because that's not even slightly what they are about.

They are 100.00000% about totalitarian surveillance and destruction of property rights. "Reducing gun violence" isn't even an excuse; it's an outright lie.

If my joke doesn't land that's my fault, not yours.

On the one hand, yes, fully enforcing these things would be gross overpolicing.

On the other hand, the selective enforcement is, by design, a way to manufacture an excuse to harass and persecute minorities/undesirables.

The correct solution is to relax or abolish the laws themselves until they diminish to the point that fully enforcing them is reasonable.

It was meant to be a tongue-and-cheek confirmation that, yes, I was joking about the American south.

It didn't land well.

Did you complain directly to your local politicians? 'Cause they're the Ines who really need to hear this.

I, too, am sick and tired of the government forcing me to contract with various third party commercial entities, BTW. We need more people to complain if we want it to change.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.

So, what exactly is a “DEI bike lane?”

The Daily Wire pointed to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that a series of 2021 grants funding bike lanes would serve to “improve infrastructure, strengthen supply chains, make us safer, advance equity, and combat climate change.”

Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.

A new big-data analysis of the U.S. pinpoints how urban design aids the health of city residents—especially when cities provide walking opportunities, greenery and mixed-use streets with a blend of commercial and residential activity.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
