so I guess the earth just ends as all data centers, giant batteries, and solar panels?

[looking back on a long and fruitful career in tech] holy shit that sucked

have you considered lying down in the woods and giving up about it

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Wake up sick? Simple call the Insurance Conglomerate hotline and drive a hard bargain about what you think you should pay for a checkup.

I just don’t know anymore what to do with this reality

The pace of collapse is accelerating

Grasping for a silver lining: at least ice water still tastes great

How come you only hear about last ditch efforts? Shout out to everyone givin' effort on the first few ditches and whatnot.

Every day is new round of horror and disappointment

democrats winning would cut into their fundraising

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Hamburger helps those that help themselves

Schumer, can you please stop fucking up any glimmer of hope?

At least we don't have to hear the phrase "first world problems" any more.

My panic room is just a broom closet full of Oreos

damn, Republicans truly do not want this shutdown to end

A yelp when the server says to scan the QR code to go to the menu. A sharp yelp of alarm edged with sorrow.

It's not just the AI sociopaths pushing the idea that we need data centers. The oil and gas industry desperately wants us to believe we need them and must power them with gas.

INVENTOR OF THE LIBRARY: hey check this out

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Ryan Grim like:

Unprecedented corruption - not just monetizing the presidency by selling branded products, but selling those products directly to government employees and having the Department of Homeland Security promote them to the media

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

I don't want to "drill down," or "circle back" I want to go to sleep on the floor

A sequel to Hotel California called Hotel Ohio. You can check out anytime you like, you can leave, they have wine, there's Michelob Ultra in the cooler, it's whatever. No one gives a shit

It’s not just a baggage claim. It’s a baggage FACT.

They really do absolutely nothing that isn’t corrupt

Forgot to include this important detail

This is the fundamental question of the year, isn't it? If an idea that was once taboo has become normalized, do you have a right to continue to treat it and its adherents with moral repugnance, or are you obliged to bow to the shifting bounds of public opinion?

Fuck all these gaslighting motherfuckers @flavorflav.bsky.social said it best: “I ain’t got nothin for you, man”

Credit Card company marketers love nothing more than depicting people hanging out what look like civic/public spaces but are actually privately owned
