“Hey u Merry Xmas” - Every man who ever treated you like a piece of disposable flatware

Tiny Tim, who did not die It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time

It's incredible how much of this stuff is just out in the open, but because Trump said "Russiagate hoax!" 5000 times, the media was brainwashed into treating it like a nothing story instead of one of a ten alarm scandal

"People who use cardinal directions in a sentence" bwaa ha add in "people who tell you another 200 yards that way" my brother in Christ, I am 70+ years old and I have yet to gain any sense of how far away from where I stand is 200 yards

Luggage retailers with nothing in the photos for scale are fucking diabolical. CM from the ground or from the wheels? Common things this size? Siri, how much is a centimeter. Are those wheels? This is a puzzle presumably designed for people who use cardinal directions in a sentence and I am not one.

Your time is short, patriarchy.

It's kinda funny that with these types of dudes their biggest fear being women will treat them how they have treated women.

Address to the Nation delivered in the key of Q4 earnings call you’re not gonna like

“Transgender for everybody”

everything is so fucking stupid

Need soup to cool down quickly? Impossible! Too hot forever. RIP tongue. Need soup to stay warm awhile? Impossible! Soup is already cold. You are too late.

They just want to debate in the market place of ideas.

Three wise men? Run, girl. This can’t end well.

Network interviewer: do you think murder is bad Admin official: I think protecting America is good Interviewer: me too Official: right Interviewer: what about when the president murders non-Americans Official: never heard of it Interviewer: ok thank u Official: you are not welcome

What makes me angriest about the fake AI videos where people yell at ICE is that there’s a million actual videos, there’s actual priests being pelted with pepper balls, it’s just that the real priest didn’t say “we worship the real God not your ORANGE one” so he wasn’t quippy enough

If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there. “I’m sorry, Senator, we wanted to get your perspective on this story, but it seems you’re not fully aware of what’s going on.”

Imperative to remember why Facebook was made in the first place: a repellent asshole who still has to engineer his own alternate reality to make friends wanted to monitor girls’ relationship statuses

Just saw an ad where a man draws the name of a female coworker for a gift exchange, and uses Facebook to learn her interests/buy the perfect present. Cute, but we all know he would just ask the nearest woman what to buy her and if he’s researching her Facebook: Run, girl.

Could have had desalination, got infinite surveillance instead.

Roe was decided by the Court. If republicans tell the dems they’ll agree to health care, but only if it excludes women, do you think they’ll take the deal? How could we possibly predict such a difficult decision except for by looking at the exact same one for all of American history.

More football today is unhinged behavior.

Grateful for how funny I am, tbh. (ignore indications to the contrary)

Dems need to keep repeating it, and they need to say what mean. “You can refuse illegal orders, examples of illegal orders are: intentionally harming or targeting civilians, engaging in unauthorized domestic LE actions, falsifying records, or anything else that clearly violates the US constitution”

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

1) the standard for “lifelike” is almost certainly, “does it feel real when I stick my dick in it” 2) giving men robot girlfriends does not make them less likely to assault humans, it makes them more practiced 3) I fucking hate it here

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

I presume Foreign Affairs is not yet running my one-word rebuttal "don't" www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being Vaishnavi Jayakumar testified the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the trafficking of humans for sex. “You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended" time.com/7336204/meta...

Is it just us Gen X nerds or does everyone feel like all the dystopian SF of your youth is coming true?

Every time a man seems great people are like, “he’s different, he won’t disappoint.” The options are be skeptical and be told you’re ruining everything, or don’t be skeptical, and be told you ruined everything. Men ruining things by being disappointing is a lesson we force ourselves not to learn.

Just saw someone refer to him as Mayor Mamdaddy and I although I am, as of yet, strong to resist the urge to dive giddily into the only real, directional hope we’ve felt in years and immediately make it weird, I won’t deny the pull. The pull is strong.

listen to me. listen to me right now. if you don't know what this tweet means, just close your device. don't look anything up. go for a walk. return in a week. if you don't listen to me, your life will be ruined and i can't be held accountable

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

these people basically just take luxury government jets and go to fancy events like make a wish kids while their minions flashbang your elderly neighbors

There’s nothing like a circle of women who want the best for each other. Women who strategize. Women who mediate between one another and manipulate the world with a unified, equitable objective. You were probably taught that this isn’t our nature. Society stole that from you. We are the best at it.

A discussion sparked by a piece whose opening argument was that Larry Summers was the tragic, rational victim of a feminized woke mob

The demonization of feminism has been so successful that you can say something as anodyne as “I think women are oppressed as women, and that gender is a hierarchy” and people will come at you like, “Wow. I didn’t know you were a racist.”

I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

“When asked if there was anything incriminating in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'” The number of men who would likely never say so but privately find this hilarious is way higher than anyone wants to admit.

Example 48484748397448 of why I shrug my shoulders when someone says, “but isn’t it illegal for the admin to do that”

If an attractive young woman a third my age didn't want to date me, then why did she ask me for feedback on an economics paper? by Larry Summers

I love and admire Ben for many reasons, and one of them is how perfectly he is able to distill the pathetic-ness of the right and instill hope and solidarity in everyone else around him. Anyway, go read his interview with the biggest Spanish newspaper here: english.elpais.com/technology/2...

Even if some members of the DOJ refuse to behave unethically or illegally, what we have seen is that in those instances, the refusing members are expelled, and the Courts allow the DOJ to move forward with the actions that expelled members refused to take, even if their objections are made publicly.

In theory, it is not legal for DOJ to do that, but the problem is that the department of justice is one of the primary federal entities responsible for enforcing the law, and the federal judicial system, topped by SCOTUS, is responsible for holding DOJ accountable.

the Court has to be willing to hold the executive (or any branch) accountable, which its not willing to do. The executive branch cannot legally lie to either the judicial or the legislative, but neither branch is willing to enforce this accountability either. So yeah, they’ll do whatever they want.

Is it legal for the DOJ to modify the takeaway of evidence they release by cherry picking it? Yes. Is it legal for them to voluntarily claim it’s something it’s not? Theoretically yes. Government can legally lie to its citizens. It cannot legally violate constitutional rights of citizens, however —

Last month he was a soybean farmer, this month he’s an expert on intercontinental cattle drives.

Translation: they’ve finished scrubbing and re-manufacturing whatever is there.

I finally decided to binge The Diplomat as something to do inside and I….hate Hal? I hate Hal with the fire of a thousand suns? I ….recognize he’s written for me to hate him but seemingly hate him so much more than that?
