> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > I’m not a horsey person, but isn’t the correct term “_muck_ out the stalls”? If you do it with a muck fork, yes, it’s mucking. But since they’re doing it with what’s essentially a giant shop-vac, “sucking” is appropriate. Also a much faster but also disgusting, loud, obnoxious way to do it. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > **Trump/MAGA cultists:** ‘Hey, let’s pay three or four times as much for our health insurance! With this, and the cuts to SNAP and the like, I’m once again coming dangerously close to “Let them burn it all down, and then watch them try to live in the ashes” territory. It seems like the only way any of them will ever come to their senses. I’m still somewhat restrained by the existence of all the other people who already realize how bad this will be, but will also get caught up in it all. Individual Blue States need to come up with plans to replace all this stuff locally, and let the Red States die.
