During 1st Trump adminstration I invented the word Schadenfucked, to mean a situation where you might experience some schadenfreudian glee were it not for the fact that you realized we are all fucked.

Minneapolis residents are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods. Called filter blockades, they’re pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets, and they’ve already earned the ire of Trump border czar Tom Homan (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The American Dialect Society Word of the Year: RAWDOG

To rawdog: taking on life without the usual protection, preparation, or comfort. Whether it’s diving into a challenge unprepared or skipping the safety net, rawdogging is about embracing risk, stone-cold sobriety, and rolling with it. #LSA2025
