It took me a minute to process this one because this, too, was my immediate thought

David Brooks wants you to know that while he is unhappy with how the administration is ending democracy he’s quite impressed with the viv and vigor it displays while doing so

Real warfighters do their own makeup

TBH, ‘Hope, Change, and Smooth Talking Disappointment’ kind of slaps

If you’re not a fan of humanities consider this: making a philosophy of science course mandatory at every university out there just might be the most beneficial thing possible to our society. Encourage the debate while skepticism is still nascent and hasn’t been hardened by the far right.

“I just heard of a book, a beautiful book, called The Jungle, where work was so plentiful—let me tell you, they had so much work you couldn’t do it all—and the people were so happy that all they could say was ‘I will work harder’, but the radical leftist democrats want to take that all away.”

Math questions in 50% of states about to be like ‘if you have 4 bibles and give 2 to your friend, how much closer to heaven are they?’

Look I know trump is bad but have you ever thought about how boomers feel having to see endless mixed race and non traditional couples on commercials? Educate yourself

I know it feels like half the world is as batshit crazy as this, but remember that social media amplifies the fringes, effectively becoming a thanksgiving table full of conversation-dominating half-witted uncles

While we are all dreading Trump’s impending reign of terror, we should be happy that he will never change, and major material changes to our democracy will always take a backseat to his BS, loony-tunes side quests… Like the Gulf of America. Take that libtards

counterpoint: it is absolutely living up to my exact expectations

Please take one minute out of your day to read my unhinged rant about Palantir. Thank you

Branding idea for the left: cast hitler as trans so the right will hate him again

I keep coming back to this one idea that the electorate is just generally f*cked. Trump is simply the logical result of a multi-decade collective dumbening and beclowning of the American mind — opinion brought to you by Pepsi™️

Texas, baby, the land of freedumb

I really wish we on the left/center left/people with a brain would stop with all the f*cking good faith assumptions when dealing with the right. It’s been said before and it’ll be said again—they don’t care about anything but power. You have to fight fire with fire.

I mean I feel like this would have been a great stance for someone with a NY TIMES COLUMN to have taken in, I don’t know, sometime between 2016 and 2020. Today? Not so much.

The only upside to the awful Cowboys getting prime time slots each week is that we haters keep getting to see them exposed for the frauds they are

if you want to understand what elon musk will do in the next two years just imagine handing the reigns of power of the most powerful country on earth to the biggest weirdo libertarian nerd you went to high school with

‘Your peer group of young men enjoy videos games and mocking memes’ while ‘women go to college at higher rates’. Think I found the problem right there, buddy.

It’s such a basic fact that administrations inherit the economy rather than remake it in their image. Yet another thing that astounds me about American goldfish-brain syndrome.

I choose to view this election as America’s Brexit from the world. I also choose to believe that a lot of the people who voted for what is to come will sorely regret it—much like Brexit.

So disappointed in Texas (though I shouldn’t be), that when presented with Cruz—who wants to protect women’s sports—vs Allred—who wants to protect pregnant women from dying in an ER waiting room—we collectively chose… sports.

For some odd reason I can’t get the image of Sideshow Bob laughing his ass off to open his victory speech when he was elected mayor. Weird

There’s still time for Kamala to do the right thing

I think people that are politically aware are simultaneously ignorant of just how many voters out there use a ‘milk cost more so democrats bad’ mentality. Voting is a barely sentient knee-jerk for at least half of Americans.

Opening my Trump Bible to find just the right verse/crypto ad to soothe me while my beautiful unvaccinated baby dies of measles and thanking Jesus that President Trump stopped me from having to say "Happy Holidays" to a trans woman who lives eight counties over

Came over from X today and it’s kind of jarring to not have a feed flooded by porn and white nationalist rhetoric.
