It is very easy to read statements like this as a joke. This is not a joke. We have proven with AI, completely by accident, what knowledgeable people have been saying for decades: the environment that rich people live in gives them a very specific personality disorder.

Nabokov's LOLITA, that was about a pedophile's projections on a young girl he was abusing. It's not actually a love story. Because there cannot be a love affair between a grown man & a thirteen year old girl. I hope the lesson taken away from that novel is the cruelty of abuse, not idolizing it.

this! and they often don't post their hours 😑

When politicians say they can't hold corporations accountable, remember: they can. They just choose not to.

Reparations just aren’t feasible unless you’re a felon...

Robot legs are here and they aren’t going anywhere.

What did I tell you. It's an attack

History has repeatedly shown that this will not end well.

To my peeps, and my Brown and LGBTQ friends. Never forget that your light was so damn bright they handed the world to the first asshole who promised to dim it.

Everybody here

Very rich people getting booed during commencement speeches is my new favorite genre of entertainment.

Two officers who defended the Capitol against the Jan 6 rioters just sued to block Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Check out their standing argument, it's pretty interesting:

a reminder that segregation among other things is a form of theft

we know, jeff. that's the problem.

So once applications open for the $1.7B slush fund, we're all going to apply and break their portal, right?

'I have never read the Washington Post' might seem like a throwaway but it's the most obvious lie in history and we just blow past it. Small potatoes in the grand scheme but really speaks volumes about their relationship with the truth.

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

When a democratic president is underwater on approval the media interviews republican voters and when a republican president is underwater the media interviews republican voters

The Epstein files changed me forever. I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

Everyone involved in posting this should be fired and everyone in the chain of command whose office is subject to impeachment, including the president, should be impeached. Just for this. I am not kidding in the least, and Democrats who let this go by without comment are putting us all in danger.

Because 1) they are completely out of touch 2) they are arrogant as fuck 3) they still need everyone to buy their product for it to work

Portlanders voted for REAL police accountability with over 80% support. Now Clark 1 would take $10 million away from the new oversight system before it’s even fully up and running. 😡 📧 Email Council 🗣️ Testify Monday ❌ Tell them: NO on Clark 1 🛑 Don’t raid police oversight $$$ to fund policing!

Alien: And how did you run out of water? Earthling: Machines drank it. Alien: Machines. Earthling: We had to feed machines the water. Aliens: So the machines were holding your planet hostage for water. Earthling: No, we made the thirsty machines. They worked for us. Alien: End communication.

are we sure this thing isn't missing some parts? or maybe parts got mixed up? ..cuz it looks like a factory defect..

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.
