The bingo card has been neglected due to Faggot Tourney. Here's an update:

1) Inflation has spiked up to 3% in January...which is a significant increase. Inflation is worsening. (https://san.com/cc/inflation-back-up-to-3-a-bad-sign-for-near-term-rate-cuts/)
2) NAEP scores - the best indicator we have of the overall skill of K-12 students - largely fell in reading. (https://www.edweek.org/leadership/reading-scores-fall-to-new-low-on-naep-fueled-by-declines-for-struggling-students/2025/01)
3) There have been at least 15 mass shootings in the US this year! Some of them are kind of pathetic, but if Randy Stair's failspree counts as a mass shooting then so do all of these. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_United_States_in_2025)
4) DOGE has finally managed to break something important: everyone at the IMLS has been placed on administrative leave for 3 months, preventing them from distributing grants to public libraries! America's libraries and museums are in severe peril! (https://archive.is/sgbDQ)
5,6) The "Hands Off" "protest", demanding that DEI hired feds get to keep having their jobs, happened in the first week of April this year. The only people who benefit from this are DEI hires, and as such this is both a "Race Riot" and a "Major Feminist Backlash," given that this was a nationwide riot with about 1% of the American populace involved.
7) There was a 10% or more stock market crash after Trump kicking off a new round of Tariffs, marking off "Fiscal Crisis of Any Sort."
8) Nicky Katt - one of the actors who played a major character in the somewhat famous weed movie "Dazed and Confused," has died from suicide.
9) Although this was missed by most - George Santos, a US Representative, has been sentenced to jailtime. There are other politicians who have been arrested for various reasons, but this is the first who is unambiguously "jailed."
10) The American Research Group's poll on 6/17-6/20 has Trump's approval rating at 38% (this is immediately following attacks on Iran).

>The U.S. government has to murder ten Americans for a bingo

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating Bob Menendez went to jail too, so that's two ways that bingo was activated.

@SuperSnekFriend @ceo_of_monoeye_dating Total or at the same time?

@wan @ceo_of_monoeye_dating
>total

@SuperSnekFriend That's weirdly not the most likely bingo - honestly "extreme military failure" might be checked off soon if Iran does something huge, in which case the fourth row is the bingo.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating
Iran is not going to retaliate against the US in any major fashion. If Trump re-engages US activity in the Ukraine, and Ukraine loses, then that would be the main source of that square. I don't see how there can be any other chance, barring a new war starting that directly involves the US, and the US failing a major battle or two before the year's end.

@xaetacore @ceo_of_monoeye_dating
Still amazing that Ukraine managed to sink a Russian flagship.

@SuperSnekFriend @xaetacore Wait did that happen? That sounds like propaganda but not literally impossible.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @xaetacore
No, it happened. I don't think Russia has been able to replace the Moskva yet for the Black Sea fleet, but I could be wrong.

@SuperSnekFriend @ceo_of_monoeye_dating I mean, we gotta set the ground rules. What if they kill nine a day for a week? Imagine the bingo arguments that could cause.

@xaetacore @ceo_of_monoeye_dating
Regardless of leadership, Russia cannot pay for a new flagship since it has been losing money rapidly, which is why Putin has been trying his damned to get Trump to release some economic relief, like lifting of sanctions, for Russia to continue paying for its war of attrition.

Russians themselves are getting pissed because their own soldiers are getting treated shit like the US Bonus Army after WWI.

@SuperSnekFriend @xaetacore I'll be damned, Ukraine actually landed a hit against Russia. Sucks that he killed basically everyone in his country to do it, but I guess it happened.

@wan @SuperSnekFriend @ceo_of_monoeye_dating Thanks

@Mamako @ceo_of_monoeye_dating @SuperSnekFriend No problem.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating
By the way, does the Ohio nitric acid leak a couple of weeks ago count as an environmental disaster, or was it too mild? I'm looking the news and it seems like it was safely contained within that county, with no lasting impact being reported.

@SuperSnekFriend Yeah I wouldn't count that.

@SuperSnekFriend @ceo_of_monoeye_dating why is it always ohio are they trying to create mutants or something

@hakui @ceo_of_monoeye_dating
They are a silly state.

@SuperSnekFriend @ceo_of_monoeye_dating more like a sorry state

@SuperSnekFriend @hakui @ceo_of_monoeye_dating Every time I see this meme, I have to pause for a second. It looks very similar to New South Wales.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating row two looking possible, draft enacted isnt draft succeeded
