Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Every once in a while I think about how snack companies spend millions upon millions of dollars and fund food science research to make their processed snacks literally irresistible but if I have an extra Little Debbie Swiss roll it’s my fault and I’m the weak one

Whenever you ask a government official or a politician something and they say they don’t know or haven’t heard, the VERY NEXT QUESTION should be, “Well, now that you know about it, what are you going to do about it?” Follow up! Dig deeper! Push back! Don’t let them dodge!

A human requires 2400kcal per day or 10MJ. A day has 86000 seconds. So a human uses 116W. Humans are thus a hundred thousand times more efficient than computers in cut pasting shit from the internet.

It's tricky, I think, for those who remember the loneliness of being opposed to the 2003 invasion of Iraq to parse what is different about Trump's 2026 Iran War. It can feel like a retread, but unlike in 2003 the US public is opposed *from the start," a shift that didn't happen with Iraq until 2006.

So far the war on Iran has cost $25 billion. That's $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. Thousands of lives lost. People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Also, speaking as someone whose first/main ttrpg was d&d, I can't stress enough how easy it can be to learn a new ttrpg after that. I'm not telling you to stop playing d&d, but I am suggesting you try new flavours every now and again as a treat.🍩

I don't like talking about the cost of universal basic income, not because it's some high number, but because it assumes not doing it is free. We spend $1.5 TRILLION a year on the costs of child poverty alone. We cut child poverty by 40% for a cost of $100B in 2021. That would have been a $500B GAIN

The regime has decided that structurally unfree/unfair elections aren't enough and wants to just straight up start rigging them in favor of reactionary cranks, as well. Like, we've been sliding into this abyss for a while now!

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

When media call the negative reaction to progressive and inclusive social actions a "backlash" that makes it sound like some sort of understandable natural reaction, like Newtonian sociology, when most often what it should be called is "prejudice." The discomfort of bigots need not be accommodated.

At some point we are going to have to reckon with the fact that in our society individuals taking on enormous unserviceable debt is an irresponsible vice, but finance guys taking on enormous unserviceable debt to buy media companies, then laying the suffering on the workers, is a virtue.
