Maybe a "subsidence" - it's not so much that it collapsed as that it settled to its natural level.

Martial law.

The game that Stardew Valley blatantly copied - Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.

It was made for the GBA, so has straightforward and precise controls, with none of the irritating camera or targeting complications that come with making the game 3D.

There are other later games in the Harvest Moon franchise with better graphics, but like Stardew Valley with a gamepad, they tend to have irritatingly imprecise controls. Friends of Mineral Town, with its isometric 2D, doesn't have that problem.

In keeping with the renaming of federal agencies to better reflect their roles, like the Department of Defense becoming the Department of War, I propose that the Federal Emergency Management Agency be renamed the Federal Emergency Fuck You You're On Your Own Agency.

They will.

They have no principles, no integrity and no honor. They're just craven, corrupt and conpromised tools of the oligarchs.

Future histories of the collapse of a the US will of course focus on Trump as the figurehead for those who destroyed the country from within, but probably not very far behind Trump, they're going to focus on the Roberts court and the loathsome scum who made it all possible by betraying the trust placed in them and violating the standards expected of them.

Oh look - it's the Toddler-in-chief throwing another tantrum.

One of the many things I'll never really understand about this whole Trump thing is how he manages to get so much support from the right-wing choad demographic when he's such a gross, flabby, pathetic, whiney manbaby.

Rather than "ties to," I think that "leash they have him on" would be a more accurate phrase.

Even with as patently cruel and destructive as they've shown themselves to be recently, it's still sort of astonishing the lengths the Republicans will go to to deny poor people healthcare.

Which is exactly why the Democrat establishment should've done a better job of appealing to voters.

I'm so fucking tired of that spin.

It's like a restaurant owner who offered a crappy menu of poorly cooked food that nobody wanted in the first place blaming the restaurant's failure on the people who refused to eat there.

More accurate headline:

White House announces blatantly unconstitutional plan to allocate tariff revenue without Congress

But since the Supreme Court no longer enforces the Constitution, it's anybody's guess what will come of it.

Impeach him and remove him from office. Now.

If we're going to focus on form instead of content, it's amusing that "if you say mean things about ai then you're a bigot" is the exact same form as "if you say mean things about Trump then you're a terrorist."

Oh gee whiz - who would've expected that? 🙄

Why does anybody even bother paying attention to anything Orbán says about Russia?

He's so deeply in Putin's pocket that it's a wonder he's even visible.

Which is why I remind people at every opportunity that he really, sincerely, is unhinged.

This goes way beyond political rhetoric and hyperbole - he's bludgeoningly obviously profoundly mentally ill.

Much is unsurprisingly made of the march to fascism under his administration, but the thing is that that's really being accomplished by the people around him. He isn't leading the country to fascism or to any other thing. He's just sitting there in the Oval Office, surrounded by bright shinies, doing whatever his warped perceptions and stunted emotions compel him to do, And it's just convenient for the fascists that the natural instincts of a fragile, delusional, sociopathic egomaniac, toxic narcissist and craven bully with the emotional development of a toddler lend themselves so well to fascism.

That too.

Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States is a deranged lunatic.

Of course he can, though it"s exceedingly unlikely that he will be, since it's a process that would require integrity, courage and determination, all of which are virtually non-existent qualities in Washington today.

Which is unfortunate too, since as I have cause to point out daily, the man is quite obviously a deranged lunatic.

I really don't think he's ever been particularly attached to reality, but the combination of losing the 2020 election and stewing and lying for four years then lying his way to winning the 2024 election appears to have completely broken his mind. And the upshot of that is that the world in which he now lives and makes important decisions is not the real one - it's entirely a product of his own warped perceptions, as filtered through an emotionally stunted mind that's slaved to the task of protecting his grotesquely bloated and fragile ego and has completely lost any ability it might once have had to distinguish between reality and delusion.

Well, y'know, except insofar as not providing it leads to death, which makes those other things irrelevant.

But other than that...
