now let's have a big argument over whether it should be "Mamdominated," "Mamdonimated," or "Mamdoninated." because I know I'm going to get emails telling me I misspelled a word I made up
Yes, and Mamdominated is more versatile. It can be used in any situation in which Mamdani is dominant and not just over preznit fuckwit or someone named Don.
Geez, I would hope our community here would understand that YOU cannot misspell a word that YOU made up. If they wanna make up their own spelling, that's on them
Brilliant any way you spell it. Brady Tkachuk just became the poster boy for what happens when you lend Trump your credibility. He got tkachuked. Happens to a lot of people.
I think my favorite thing about Mamdani that I’ve seen in the last week was the social media push on Threads about “16 inches” and “plowed” that his social team put out did you all see that?
I saw that and forgot to bookmark it, and the horrible thing about Threads is how it's impossible to go back and find things you've already seen. else I would have used it
omg I thought I was the only one! I absolutely hate that too, especially when writing. That and the fact you cannot download a damn video—yet you can save pictures… make it make sense!!
Thank you, Jeff. I always notice typos, and that one bothered me immediately. Everyone makes typos, cuz we’re all human, but we’re supposed to fix them! Especially if it’s a commercial site like Boing-Boing!
fun facts about federal disability, from a retired federal worker.
1) there is a minimum amount of time before one qualifies for federal disability. it isn't from day 1
2) the 1st 3 years one gets 60% pay. after the 3rd year it drops to 40% (I'm pretty sure this is the exact number.) the higher amount the 1st 3 years is to cover you while the Social Security disability process works its way thru the system. That may not be long enough with the DOGE cuts.
3) at 61 years & 364 days, the disability turns into retirement pay. (there's a hyper-technical reason why it isn't 62 years)
I will caveat this with some of the rules are different for law enforcement, state dept, etc. since I didn't work in those areas, I don't know any of their special rules. so maybe it's more generous for ICE. but I still don't think federal disability is like hitting the lottery. but it may seem that way to a lot of the public.
less of winning the lottery. I have a friend who worked federal workman's comp. the organization that you were working for at the time of the injury has to fund the benefit. In the old days it was funded out of a central pot, so workman's comp was a way to deal with problem employees. but since you have to pay now, you want that employee to get healthy & back to work. there are some folks who are on workmen's comp for life. RSA has/had cases of poison gas exposure from when they produced it for WWII.
I have visions of John Wick where he shoots his doctor. ICE agents shooting each other. "I was aiming at one of those pesky domestic terrorists and Billy Bob stepped in the way (wink, wink)".
You may recall the whistleblower who testified that ICE training had been cut by about half, in the rush to put thugs on the streets. Apparently, among other things, they scrimped a bit on firearm safety.
I'm unsure as to why ICE thugs need any training at all: the only requirements for the job are sadistic brutality and monumental stupidity. ICE thugs have both by the bucketful.
I am unsure why they would need A LOADED GUN issued at all. They are NOT law enforcement, they are collecting people for what is at best a misdemeanor, and they are highly untrained for a deadly weapon.
Even in the freaking military--with a shit ton of firearms training in multiple weapons--I was NEVER issued a loaded gun unless deploying to an ACTIVE war zone. Yet they hand loaded weapons to dudes with the same length of training as Olive Garden.
This is a characteristic of Preznit Predator's: punch down relentlessly at the less powerful, kowtow to those more charismatic and stronger. Either a bully or a punk ass bitch. No in between.
The less cognitively impaired on the right (I hear there are a few) are deathly afraid of Zohran's policies succeeding wildly, thereby rendering the right's breathless alarmist bullshit as empty breathless alarmist bullshit
There is a reason that Jeff Bezos’ Editorial Board over at WaPo posts a hit piece on Mamdani at least once a week since he took office. Bezos may be evil, but he’s certainly not stupid.
Oh Jesus on a unicycle. The Zo-man is the most dangerous person in America now. I hope to <insert favored deity here> that he continues to use his powers for good.
It's great to have you back, Jeff. I hope that your health day was satisfactory. My morning is now complete, and I can begin my day uplifted by your humor. Thank you.
Super hilarious as always, Jeff. However, we must recognize that we are on the threshold of war with Iran to justify Dump’s illegal declaration of another fake “national emergency “ to suspend the November elections, a common final step that dictators the world over use to end real democracy.
I sent a letter to my congresspersons today asking them what actions they are taking to defend our country against Thiel and his tool, Dump.
I’m curious about your take on Casey Means, whose older brother has long been an important Heritage/maga player and who’s about to be the nation’s top doctor. More stuff that keeps me awake in the middle of the night.
Personally...I love that her sampling of psychedelic drugs allowed her to "...become one with the moon." That phrase alone continues to crack me up. But the woman sounds like an excellent candidate for a butterfly net.
now let's have a big argument over whether it should be "Mamdominated," "Mamdonimated," or "Mamdoninated." because I know I'm going to get emails telling me I misspelled a word I made up
I vote for Mamdominated
Me too. I don't want anything with "don" in it
Yes, and Mamdominated is more versatile. It can be used in any situation in which Mamdani is dominant and not just over preznit fuckwit or someone named Don.
Exactly. My vote too.
Excellent point!
Exactly.
I second that emotion 👍🏻.
1600% agree!
Motown approved
When this term goes viral--which it should--this version is much easier to say out loud.
Me too! I have a feeling we’ll see it a lot!
It’s the only correct way to spell it.
Geez, I would hope our community here would understand that YOU cannot misspell a word that YOU made up. If they wanna make up their own spelling, that's on them
Brilliant any way you spell it. Brady Tkachuk just became the poster boy for what happens when you lend Trump your credibility. He got tkachuked. Happens to a lot of people.
Speaking of lending things, did Lardo ever give back the Gold medal one of the hockey players let him wear?
If so I’ll bet it was not an easy task to wrest it away from the big toddler!
Oh, I am sure he kept it. Didn't he keep another winning team's award who made the mistake of bringing it to the White House
I love "tkachuked"!
I think either works Jeff!
I think my favorite thing about Mamdani that I’ve seen in the last week was the social media push on Threads about “16 inches” and “plowed” that his social team put out did you all see that?
I saw that and forgot to bookmark it, and the horrible thing about Threads is how it's impossible to go back and find things you've already seen. else I would have used it
That frustrates me too. But I did see that when it was first posted. Mamdani is rocking NYC.
He totally knows what he’s doing, him and his team. So happy he won. We need like 50 more Mamdanis in political roles across the US.
omg I thought I was the only one! I absolutely hate that too, especially when writing. That and the fact you cannot download a damn video—yet you can save pictures… make it make sense!!
Missed it. How funny.
You nailed it- Mamdominated
Yeah 'Mamdominated' is a skillfully-constructed portmanteau that has a good chance of making into the OED.
Not being so skilled, i would have gone with "Mamdominized". I'll see myself out.
No worries... we know what you meant anyway no matter how its spelled.
the first draft was "Mamdanied" and then I decided that would generate even more dissent
I laughed out loud at "Mamdominated" so if we're going by the laugh-o-meter, you've coined a winner.
That has "Donny" hidden in it, so No
"Mamdanized" fits any occasion where Zorhan has worked his magic on someone.
Are we that judgy?
We need to fix that people!
I like Mamdonimated!
This argument should be yuuuuuuuge!
I prefer your description you used later in the post, calling Trump a "fuckmuppet"
Seems a learn a new word every day.
All of them! ♥️
You absolutely didd.
It works for me!
Naw… you’re cool bro 😎
It's your new word. You have the right to spell and define it any way you see fit. Hang in there, we've got your back, Jeff.
Mandonimated -- has both names, and proves that MAN dominated DON.
Maybe we don’t need to abolish ice maybe they’ll just do it themselves for us.
Only if they can somehow shoot themselves in a vital organ. Legs don't count.
or, if you're Boing-Boing, 'lef.' I can't believe that post has been up for four days and they still haven't corrected the typo
I came to the comments to see if anyone knew what the fuck a lef is. Even my phone autocorrected to leg when I initially typed that.
I caught that right away too!! 🤦♀️
Thank you, Jeff. I always notice typos, and that one bothered me immediately. Everyone makes typos, cuz we’re all human, but we’re supposed to fix them! Especially if it’s a commercial site like Boing-Boing!
Sometimes the trash takes itself out.
My thoughts exactly. Also my thought: maybe the guns hate ice as much as we do too.
Maybe those guys aren't so dumb. They will be on Federal disability for life.
Yes, they are conniving enough. But also yes, they are dumb
😂😂😂
If the Rs have their way, Federal disability won't be a thing for much longer.
If the R's are in much longer we won't have Medicare or Social Security either.

Workman's Comp?
less of winning the lottery. I have a friend who worked federal workman's comp. the organization that you were working for at the time of the injury has to fund the benefit. In the old days it was funded out of a central pot, so workman's comp was a way to deal with problem employees. but since you have to pay now, you want that employee to get healthy & back to work. there are some folks who are on workmen's comp for life. RSA has/had cases of poison gas exposure from when they produced it for WWII.
I have visions of John Wick where he shoots his doctor. ICE agents shooting each other. "I was aiming at one of those pesky domestic terrorists and Billy Bob stepped in the way (wink, wink)".
OMG, hadn't even considered that.
You may recall the whistleblower who testified that ICE training had been cut by about half, in the rush to put thugs on the streets. Apparently, among other things, they scrimped a bit on firearm safety.
I'm unsure as to why ICE thugs need any training at all: the only requirements for the job are sadistic brutality and monumental stupidity. ICE thugs have both by the bucketful.

Even in the freaking military--with a shit ton of firearms training in multiple weapons--I was NEVER issued a loaded gun unless deploying to an ACTIVE war zone. Yet they hand loaded weapons to dudes with the same length of training as Olive Garden.
I wouldn't trust anybody who works for ICE being capable of handling a basket of breadsticks responsibly, never mind a loaded gun.
the military isn't run by a #PuppyKiller or a vampire
Yep.
If they want to shoot the shit out of themselves, I'm fine with that. Fewer bullets they can use against real people.
lol exactly!! lol
unfortunately not fast enough
It's a nice thought, however, it's too deliberate for me...lol
Reliably? Are they reliable?
Thank you for having the skill to make me laugh out loud at the most horrible people ever.
It’s the best part of my day and gives me hope.
Haha, MAGA stooge Brady Tkachuk got thrown under the Zamboni. Better keep yer head on a swivel, MAGAt. I hear there are a lotta Canadians in the NHL.
Elbows up, Canada.
I love this so much for the Tkachuklehead.
This is a characteristic of Preznit Predator's: punch down relentlessly at the less powerful, kowtow to those more charismatic and stronger. Either a bully or a punk ass bitch. No in between.
Textbook narcissistic personality disorder.
“A fourth shot himself with a taser, inside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office.”
Does it make me a bad person that I laughed heartily at this? Oh, well 🤷♀️. Still laughing. We need all the laughs we can find these days.
I laughed at that part, too.

It’s also not like Mamdani was endorsed by many from his own team either. They stuck with the rich guys.
and those funded by AIPAC like Chuckles
There is a reason that Jeff Bezos’ Editorial Board over at WaPo posts a hit piece on Mamdani at least once a week since he took office. Bezos may be evil, but he’s certainly not stupid.
Oh Jesus on a unicycle. The Zo-man is the most dangerous person in America now. I hope to <insert favored deity here> that he continues to use his powers for good.
It's unfortunate he was born in Arfrica
he is the caliber of politician we need running for President
He'd make some state a peachy Senator. He'd cut through that dumpster like a hot knife through butter. He's got persuasion chops like LBJ.
I know, I had the same thought. I hope that all the power and money doesn't corrupt him.
It's great to have you back, Jeff. I hope that your health day was satisfactory. My morning is now complete, and I can begin my day uplifted by your humor. Thank you.
Contemporary DNA says Neanderthal Rep is marrying a Bee Face. Now that's some strange genetics. Lucky she's too old to procreate.
Crying with laughter at that one, H2thD! Spectacular!
Agree‼️
I love that moniker: Bee Face. Cracks me up every time. Thanks, Uncle Jeff!
You are in rare form today!
AI is exactly the perfect thing for these terminally immature mantoddlers staffing the maladministration.
And ah, Brady Tkachuk, you forgot the maxim of doing anything for the pricktator:
Ask not whom the bus runs over;
It runs over you.
Maladministration 2.0 is full of horrors. But sometimes there's the hilarious clownfuckery...and that's a balm sometimes.
In this case it's a Zamboni
Super hilarious as always, Jeff. However, we must recognize that we are on the threshold of war with Iran to justify Dump’s illegal declaration of another fake “national emergency “ to suspend the November elections, a common final step that dictators the world over use to end real democracy.

Everyone should do the same.
I’m curious about your take on Casey Means, whose older brother has long been an important Heritage/maga player and who’s about to be the nation’s top doctor. More stuff that keeps me awake in the middle of the night.
her blather about psychedelics *might* end up in this week in stupid, I'm not sure
Aside from that, aside from her grifts, even, she’s much more a part of Project 2025 than people seem to understand.
Personally...I love that her sampling of psychedelic drugs allowed her to "...become one with the moon." That phrase alone continues to crack me up. But the woman sounds like an excellent candidate for a butterfly net.
Let's see if the Louisiana quack who voted to confirm RFK Jr -- Bill Cassidy -- does it again.
I was saying that to Mr. Spouse this morning. Will he further ruin his reputation by voting for that quack?
It appears that Brady Tkachuk is really stupid. Perhaps he's had one too many hockey style punches to the head.
FAFO for him. MAGA just put a big target on him.
They really DO eat their own. For magats, loyalty is one way.
Ever stand on ice then box somebody who is also on ice, science laughs at such things, it’s like ‘pro wrestling’ . It can be entertaining.
a low stick would've been even better
He's been boarded a few too many times. And it's contagious! He passed it on to Jack Hughes, too, when they were roomies.
The Donny Whisperer... Good one. But let's see if and how fast Trump backs out.
"oh my dear sweet lord, is New York City’s islamocommunofascist Mayor Zohran Mamdani the Donny Whisperer?"
Islamocommunofascist is so, so brilliant.
Secretary of MAGA and White House Advisor Laura Loomer does NOT approve.
And that right there might be all it takes for trump to turn. Again. Amazing the hold she has over him. Gotta wonder how and why.
I don't wonder. She has a mouth, her knees bend, and the fucktard is losing his eyesight.
“Losing his eyesight”…. good one Leigh!!!
He’ll back out quicker than you can say Islamocommunofascist
