> on Sunday, Georgia Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff delivered a barn-burner of a speech, in which he ripped Preznit Fuckwit several new ones, for being the incompetent imbecile who lied our country into an unwinnable war against Iran, and for being the callous toad who is ignoring the plight of the five thousand sailors trapped aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
>
> but all that was lost on the MAGAverse, because there were [three words toward the end](https://x.com/Acyn/status/2089089375372279942) of Ossoff’s speech that caused every Republican to immediately shit a massive, white-hot brick and explode into paroxysms of performative outrage.

> “*he wants to build his ballroom and** travel with Natalie** on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.”*

> **that’s right, Jon Ossoff went there. he brought up the weird *****stalker-slash-diaper-nurse***** who is now Dear Leader’s constant companion.**
>
> once those three words — *‘travel with Natalie’* — escaped Ossoff’s lips, the entire Donnyverse clutched their pearls and collapsed onto their fainting couches.

> what on earth is Tim Murtaugh talking about? what *‘vulgar innuendo’*? all Ossoff did was to accurately describe the situation. **Diaper Nurse Natalie travels with Dear Leader.** not a day goes by that the two of them aren’t photographed together. to point that out is not *‘innuendo.’*
>
> who even knew that Ari Fleischer [was still a thing](https://x.com/AriFleischer/status/2089470326803505167)?

>
> like *what*?
>
> it’s pretty weird how every Republican immediately interpreted *‘travel together’* to mean that Donny and Nattie are getting it on, isn’t it? this sounds like another one of those *‘every accusation is a confession’* things again, doesn’t it?

> they know how bad this looks, President Pussygrabber swanning around with some blonde half his age, while his Slovenian green-card rent-a-wife is nowhere to be seen.

> **look, it’s not Jon Ossoff’s fault that Donny immediately falls for any woman who reminds him of the daughter he want to quote-unquote ‘date,’ if that’s what we’re charitably going to call it.** this shit happens over and over. [remember the Presidential Pants Steamer, Hope Hicks](https://www.wmagazine.com/story/hope-hicks-let-trump-be-trump-steaming-donald-trump-suits), who was right by his side throughout his first term?

>GOP candidate struggles to burn rainbow flag on top of U-Haul truck while screaming at 2 people
>
>“It’s white boy summer!” the 30-year-old man yelled to his cameraman and some guy banging a small gong.
>
>Jake Lang — a racist Republican candidate for Florida’s U.S. Senate seat who was jailed for allegedly assaulting Capitol Police officers during the January 6, 2021, riots — struggled to set two Pride flags on fire outside of the Delaney ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey, yesterday afternoon while yelling, “Happy Pride Month, fa\*\*ots,” to his cameraman and one other supporter holding a gong on the sidewalk.
>
>Lang stood on top of a U-Haul and yelled, “We will not allow this degeneracy!” as he ignited an intersex-inclusive Pride flag. The wind quickly extinguished the flames before they could seriously harm the flag.
>
>He then struggled to re-light the flag, dousing it in lighter fluid before yelling, “These people need to go. We will overcome the homosexual agenda to destroy our children.” Meanwhile, he continued struggling to re-ignite the flag as his lighter repeatedly failed to produce a flame.
>
>Upon finally reigniting the flag, he yelled, “Happy Pride Month, fa\*\*ots,” as the wind quickly extinguished the flames once again.
>
>“Get out of our country!” he yelled, holding the unlit flag. “This is a Christian country!” He soon threw away the unlit flag and unwrapped a basic rainbow Pride flag and unfurled it in the wind. Someone then laughed at him.
>
>“Get these homos out!” he continued. “They’re the ones bringing in all the migrants!” He re-lit the flag before the wind quickly extinguished its flames once more.
>
>Throwing the flag towards the sidewalk, he yelled, “Here you go, fa\*\*ots — happy Pride Month!” But the video showed only two people on the sidewalk: his cameraman and one other individual (holding a handheld gong) running alongside the truck.
>
>Lang then yelled, “Make America great again!” triumphantly raising his arms while standing on top of a U-Haul truck that costs about $30 a day to rent. Someone off-camera yelled, “F\*\*k you,” in response.
>
>He unfurled a banner off the back of the truck that said, “Save America. Deport 100+ Million.” He then jumped off the front of the truck and yelled into the camera, “America, we are so f\*\*king back!” while a long-haired white man in a black bowler hat repeatedly banged a small hand-held gong.
>
>Lang entered the cabin of the truck and used a megaphone to say, >“Traitors of the Deep State will see the gallows. You will hang traitors. Our country is worth fighting for. We will stand united. This is a Christian country. They have stolen the rainbow from God, and we’re here to take it back. It’s white boy summer!”
>
>Lang is 30 years old.

>“That’s a failure of leadership, and that is why I’ve called for your resignation,” Tillis told Noem. “If I don’t get an answer to these questions, if I don’t get an answer that you’ve had a month to respond to, and the remaining ones, as of today, I’ll be informing leadership that I’m putting a hold on any en bloc nominations until I get a response.”

>Chuck Mangione, noted flugelhorn player, trumpeter and composer, has died. He was reportedly 84.
>
>The news was confirmed via a press release out of a funeral home in Rochester, New York, on behalf of Mangione’s family, who said they were “deeply saddened to share that Chuck peacefully passed away in his sleep at his home in Rochester” on Tuesday.
>
>Mangione, a flugelhorn player whose composition “Feels So Good” became an unlikely pop hit in 1978, was a [Rochester native](https://www.mangionemagic.com/chucks-biography.html) who started playing jazz as a teenager,
>
>He won two Grammy Awards over his 60-year career in music, including one for best instrumental composition for “Bellavia.”
>
>“Feels So Good,” an upbeat instrumental whose full-length version runs nearly 10 minutes, [spent](https://elpee.jp/single/Feels%20So%20Good/Chuck%20Mangione/) 25 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #4 in 1978.
>
>In addition to that signature hit, Mangione was recognizable for his distinctive style at the peak of his career, sporting long hair and a brown felt hat with a feathered band that he later [donated](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/thats-some-bad-hat-chuck-as-in-mangione-44822892/) to the Smithsonian Institution.
>
>Outside of the music business, Mangione is remembered for his recurring appearances as a tongue-in-cheek version of himself on the primetime Fox animated series “King of the Hill.”

> The reason is simple: an increase in immigration enforcement, including high-profile ICE raids, shook Texas farm workers to their core. The news filtered fast that workers—regardless of legal status—chose safety over a salary.
>
> Farmers, who had been working with their crews for decades, described the loss as “devastating” and “unprecedented.” This is alarming as most farms are founded upon immigrant labor, both legal and illegal, creating a domino effect for the food system as a whole.
>
> . . . When farm workers vanish, the effects are felt far beyond the fields. Livestock is untended, crops go unpicked, food production declines, and food prices dramatically increase. In Texas alone, where specialty vegetables and fruits must be hand-picked, worker shortages jeopardize entire harvest seasons.
>
> This results in fewer foods on grocery store shelves, higher prices for families nationwide, and a greater reliance on imports. Threads on Reddit and YouTube are already predicting price hikes and empty produce shelves.

>U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said that seven Spirit bombers were deployed to Iran, each with two crew members. He also confirmed that the attack package included **U.S. submarines that launched 30 Tomahawk missiles at Iranian targets; **he also noted the involvement of both fourth- and fifth-generation aircraft - including **F/A-18s, F-22 Raptors, and F-35 Lightning IIs.**
>
>The exact cost of the mission remains unknown, but for context: **each B-2 bomber is worth over $2 billion**, an **F-35 runs around $100 million**, and the USS *Carl Vinson* — a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier — cost roughly **$4.5 billion**. Caine said that “**more than 125 US aircraft participated in this mission**”, so who knows how long the bill will be when it comes in. ([source](https://archive.is/EioZn))

So worth it, brah.

Corporations building products that don't really do much that are being sold on the idea that one day they might, peddled by reporters that want to believe their narratives — and in some cases actively champion them. The damage will be tens of thousands of people fired, long-term environmental and infrastructural chaos, and a profound depression in Silicon Valley that I believe will dwarf the dot-com bust.
