Ok, I laughed

Imagine being a Russian troll assigned to Bluesky: “Comrade, today you will destabilize Western democracy by arguing with poets, policy nerds, and a raccoon avatar with tenure.”

Y'all, today is the last day of early voting for the Texas primary runoff. Tuesday is the election. Statewide for the dems is Lt. Gov and AG. And there are some local races (in Harris County, County Judge and County District Clerk plus Justice for 14th Ct. of Appeals and a criminal judge).

vibescession discourse again idk man the vibes are bad because the president is hitler imo

Kyle Busch, who won more races than anyone across NASCAR's three national series, has died at 41. A joint statement from the Busch Family, Richard Childress Racing and NASCAR said he died after being hospitalized. n.pr/3RltaNv

skill issue. just do the worldbuilding/research and then not put it into the story this is not a joke. thinking out the implications but not explicitly enumerating them allows meaningful consistency without bogging your story down

get fucked

that said, the way the escalation of this sort of oppression has succeeded has always been at the periphery because it is harder for those in the core to push it off. the hub and spoke model surely can be pruned. would it cause pain? yes. would it have the same constituency to fight it? idk.

these cowards will never have the actual balls to go after the crown jewel cities because too many of their donors themselves are dependent/enjoy e.g. NYC, SF etc so what will actually happen is that blue cities in red states will increasingly become laboratories in distributed state oppression

new EPISODE wherein your dear old UNCLE PETE announces plans to marry a HORSE

Last update for today: Voltaire is living his best Parisian corgi life. Hopefully I'll see him again soon

Back on Twitter a moot posted something along the lines of "why are you paying $50 for DoorDash when you can buy a Marie Callender pot pie for $3.25" and thousands of people became extremely mad at her

Oh, of course you can buy a kit that lets you build a functioning blunderbuss on the Internet in the United States in 2026.

yeesh what a book

i remain convinced that part of our problem in this country is that our taxes are unnecessarily complex and a pain in the ass to file, both of which heighten negative sentiment

dawg they're measuring the exact ratio of dollars to kicks in the head by a horse in Playboy rn

I realize this puts me in oft mocked MMT territory, but it seems to me the value of taxing the rich is not to fund government but to compress the wealth distribution, so as to ensure those up top are not so disproportionately wealthier than others as to be able to exercise vast undemocratic power.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has signed the nation's first law banning prediction market sites from operating in the state; the CFTC has sued Minnesota in response (Bobby Allyn/NPR) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

mid-century american watches are all so small. they're all 31-32mm and i can't convincingly wear smaller than 33 mm

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.

"dating is now just for rich people" you fucking idiots. you rubes. you dumbasses. some penniless Portlander is currently dating a half-dozen people fueled by nothing but esoteric horniness and a home espresso machine. Tony Stark built it in a cave with a box of scraps!

i will never take a plane if i could take a boat or a train. not for any environmental reasons i just think travel should be slow and laborious and soaked in an introspective melancholia that our current high speed world has robbed from us

y'all ever think about how delaware is some dude's name

every time a gundam show mulches another vaguely ethnic girl to make the series' resident john gundam really sad i get to thinking about how i could be watching something good like utena instead

it's cool that the president is trying to steal two billion dollars from my taxes to give to his pedophile friends and i'm supposed to like keep doing my job or whatever

Gundam Wing episode 1 if it had the Hathaway needle drop

thinking about Mary Ann Dean today

the airports? fascist bag check in? fascist tsa checkpoints? extra fascist the overpriced restaurants at the gate? fascist the airlines? deporting families the boarding group order? fascist boeing? bombing Iranian schoolchildren jet fuel? fascist the secretary of transportation? reality tv fascist

the beast who awoke me at 4 am by tossing an antique alarm clock off my desk

if you’re in the montgomery, alabama area have i got a DEAL FOR YOU

the president of the united states sued his own government for ten billion dollars and “settled” it by directing that government to use taxpayer money for a nearly two billion dollar slush fund to distribute to his political allies at will typing it out barely feels real

lol god we need to put this guy in some kind of japanese horror contraption

1. What I found in Trump's new 113-page financial disclosure report. It doesn't look good.

watching gundam unicorn and every time they try to make zeon sympathetic this image flashes across my mind

Jonathan Edwards’ “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” would make a killer source text for a high-concept metal album.

Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone

what a goddamn moron

As a guy with half a trillion dollars, I have lots of options: 1. Enjoy a 100% stress-free life doing whatever I please in unfathomable luxury all over the world with people of my choosing 2. Have 87 meltdowns a day on a website

I INSTALLED “LINUX”. BECAUSE WINDOWS IS FOR MEN WHO ASK PERMISSION TO EXIST. I CRUSHED THE INSTALLER WITH MY BARE HANDS AND NOW THE TERMINAL CALLS ME “SIR” BUT MY KERNEL KEEPS PANICKING. WHAT COMMAND MAKES THE COMPUTER SUBMIT COMPLETELY? I REFUSE TO GOOGLE
