Self-driving is also a scam.

Protesting my parade? Fine, I'll tear down the White House. Swearing in a socialist mayor? Fine, I'll kidnap a foreign head of state.

Reagan sold the self-fulfilling prophecy of inherently dysfunctional government, and Americans bought it. That I remember. But I don't remember when Americans *did* believe in government, any more than I remember pill bottles without tamper seals.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social is correct that Americans under 55 don't remember government that worked. I'm 57, and I remember the 1980 election the same way I remember the 1982 Tylenol murders.

People have a good reason to resist acknowledging the male loneliness crisis. They correctly perceive that women are being blamed and told to fix it. But the real cause is predatory capitalists who profit on keeping men isolated and online. www.salon.com/2025/11/17/d...

Nov 5, 2024 was terrible. But it's not Nov 2024 anymore. Trump is much more unpopular. He, not Biden, is getting blamed for affordability challenges. Democratic voters are much more activated. The "racial realignment" didn't even last a year. newrepublic.com/article/2026...

Big Tech wants to replace our jobs, and also raise our electric rates to pay for their exorbitant power demand.

So they're going to give us a reason to vote for them, right? No, they're just going to keep cheating and rigging the system.

The new generation is alright. Note that all four are women. We've seen the condescending articles wondering why women "lag behind" men in adopting AI use. Maybe because it sucks?

I'm well aware that younger generations are being propagandized to see older folks like me who refuse to use AI as hopelessly backward dinosaurs, and it's heartening to see that some young folks get it.

Best response to MAGA lunacy ever: "When I want your opinion I'll ask Trump".

Unsurprising, but satisfying nonetheless.

The right-wingers who spent the 90s ranting about "jackbooted thugs" have been awfully quiet lately.

Those nuns knew how to remove an ignition coil.

An email just now forwarded to me from the SS Administration, what I would take as a hostage communication. Social Security has been called the third rail of American politics. The Project 2025 goons are hoping that most Americans have never seen a subway train, and don't know what a third rail is.
