I envision a future: the oligarchs create Supercitizenship, a global status that places them above everyone else. Musk could be a supercitizen, travel freely, and never face prosecution by nations. By making this currently informal arrangement official they will establish a perpetual aristocracy.

For the sake of all that is good, please do not visit the U.S. 1) It's not safe for you now. Really. 2) We want you to boycott us. We are boycotting us.

Why do people pay $14 for a frozen pizza?

Midwestern pro tip: Place your shoes upside down on a heating grate so they are warmed before you exit into the arctic wilderness of soul-crushing cold.

So Checo will be participating in 2026 and Helmut will not be. That's a shame. #F1

Spending your money with mom & pops means physical stores still existing, and physical stores still existing will mean that our only suppliers of goods and services will not be strangers with websites who use all of your personal information to figure out how to extract the maximum revenue from you.

Yeah, generational B.S. everyone is sick of and blah, blah, blah... Gen-X, looking at the U.S. right now, having predicted some stupid shit would happen before they ever let us retire, seeing some stupid shit happening and nodding knowingly. The Boomers were never going to die with any dignity.

It should go without saying, but it's worth saying over and over. Big Energy runs the U.S. Energy IS freedom, but if closely held it's the key to control. If The People are to rule themselves, The People must control the energy economy. That's why they want climate change to be a hoax.

When someone is set up to not allow replies, I generally ignore them and move on, but when they make profoundly inaccurate statements about the physical sciences I grind my teeth and ride the waves of light-headedness resulting from hypertension.

I am consciously thinking something, and I am recording that thought using a digital interface to be published to others worldwide to be understood by their consciousnesses. It's a miracle. The thought: Shape up, Ferrari. Jeez. #F1

The Golf Cheat. There are many instances where Krasnov proves his worthlessness, but this is one that strikes me as being particularly ridiculous. These old, white golfer guys overlooking the fact that he's an obvious cheat tells you that all of their other expressions of outrage are performative.

I think women with Maralago face intentionally have their work overdone so that their eyes appear unusually large because that wide eyed stare is a feature of psychopathy, which they emulate to seek favor with right wing men.

Logan's Run except you try to make as much money as possible, and when you reach $10 Million you are dispatched and your assets seized by the state in order to make room for new people to have a chance.

Republicans would in fact be in favor of persecuting autistic kids but lionizing cokehead elitist douchebags.

If my latest arriving ancestors were in the U.S. before the Revolution, then no one was ever officially "naturalized" and I enjoy birthright citizenship handed down over hundreds of years. Are they implying that they can take that away from me?

The headline “Republican Women are Revolting” is just precious. Old joke of course, but Tiedrich is very skilled in the applications of the martial language arts.

Did Trump win Flonkerton or something?

When Brit announcers say “all,” it’s the same sound I make when someone punches me in the balls.

I would like to congratulate the Petro State Cup Champion. Also his lucky charm, Trumpapaya. #F1

Notes post-quali: Lando looks tired and nervous, Oscar looks angry, and Max looks like he doesn't have a care in the world. Max is the best at this and he knows it. I would not underestimate his chances of taking the title. Oscar is the wildcard. Mr. Quiet is also Mr. Assertive sometimes. #F1

There are MANY current car trends that are asshole-coded to me. That being said in my house we refer to decorative LEDS as "douchebag" lights and the super bright LED headlights as "asshole" lights.

Peace to everyone.

Characters from Twin Peaks who would definitely be MAGA now:

It's interesting how they are so devoted to saving "Western Civilization" while they are clearly sacrificing Europe to the Russians and actively opposing The Vatican.

Trump should make Gretzky his press person because Trump sounds like a genius by comparison.

Dear America: The house is on fire and it's too late to save it. Time to stand back until it's embers. The key will be in the rebuilding. The old house served us well, but fixing its problems became more difficult over time. Now we can rebuild it better. First we have to eliminate the arsonists.

If we get 70s station wagons back, can we also have smoking without guilt, drunk driving, and Bo and Luke Duke stunts without getting arrested for dangerous driving? Leaded gasoline was nutritious. Cars you can work on! That was something. Ah, the date-rapey bench seats. Goes without saying.

If you ran on the platform of using our technologies to find online scammers worldwide and take them out one by one with drone strikes, you would win in an absolute landslide. Dems are condemning the boat strikes by appealing to peoples' better natures and sense of humanity. Big mistake. Weak. 1/2

I have no freaking clue who Mr. Beast is or what he does. He's a YouTuber, apparently. I feel both morally and culturally superior. 🤣

I am thinking about censorship regimes because they are necessary and dangerous. The Trinity Test, the first large nuclear detonation, changed everything. Then we knew that at some level of technology one person can murder-suicide the human race. 1/2

Elite impunity isn't specifically about capitalism or sexism or any of that. "It's a big club and you ain't in it." -Carlin When you are in a club, you protect members of the club, and they protect you. They don't all do horrible things, but they tolerate horrible people, to their own benefit.

If we saw the video of the boat survivors being blown into shark chum... If we saw the photos of the Sandy Hook babies after they were turned into hamburger... If we read challenging books... If we took classes in critical thinking... Democracy is not sustainable under a regime of censorship.

This of course is pure evil, but I get it, I really do. Being in charge of a group of arrogant fools who punish you every time you help them but adore you when you abuse them, sooner or later you are going to give in and make yourself rich giving them what they want. Principles, schminciples.

A saw a story that Porsches in Russia stopped working due to something in their software. Yay, right? I don't know if that was intentional or not, but I do know one thing: My older gas car without all the digital gee whiz toys cannot be remotely shut down by the manufacturer or the government.

Bless your sweet soul, Freddie.

I think the "do nothing" corporate dems find themselves in a real spot. No sympathy from me, but a spot nonetheless. They were the co-guardians of the golden goose, but the other co-guardians were tricked out of their guardianship, and the new co-guardian destroyed the goose. 1/2

Dubya was the friendly frat boy who just stayed drunk all the time, but he also covered for the brother who had that passed out girl in his room all night. Krasnov was the brother who raped the passed out girl. They both deserve to burn for it.

It's interesting to me how resistant people are to giving up Spotify. It's a completely unnecessary service. I have never used it at all. I am not blaming anyone, but it's fascinating how something so frivolous can seemingly become a staple. That alone keeps me from subscribing. Fewer strings.

We should crowd fund a Superbowl ad featuring white letters on a black background saying these words: If you are rich and wish to continue breathing, end Citizens United and start paying heavy taxes, NOW. * Well armed real Americans approved this message. *

In high school they had a stage hypnotist perform a show and try to hypnotize all the students into doing silly things. All those kids who fell into the trance? Kids like you who looked around in amazement, wondering how the others were so easily controllable? Guess how their politics turned out.

Since the beginning of time the right has used "Law and Order" to convince emotional toddlers to vote for their nannies, and progressives have never been able to bring themselves to do what it would take to break the spell. 1/6

I have been through this with older relatives, and as far as I know all the major drug categories used to treat congestive heart failure can cause sleep problems or fatigue. The way you are supposed to mitigate that (and the disease) is better diet and more exercise resulting in lower body mass. 🤷

In my daughter's bedroom: Drum Set Acoustic Guitar Electric Guitar Electric Bass Keys Cello Violin Plus amps, mics, stands, etc. Music is absolute magic for kids. It literally helps develop their brains while making them more relaxed and social, and it's a gift they will enjoy for life.

Epiphany: We are all just really, really full of shit and lie constantly. The exceptions are those who are so devoted to the truth that they actually discover things to the point of undermining someone's living. We call them academics and scientists. That is why Owners hate education. That's it.

Has anyone ever gone for the hair plugs but intentionally put them in odd places? Seems like a product line extension the piercing/tattoo people would want to exploit. C'mon, Millennials. I thought you guys were smarter since you didn't get the negligent parents and lead and stuff.

Why doesn't he just steer the hurricanes into the drug smugglers?

I am not sure why cannabis reform hasn't become a rallying cry for MAGA. It fits into the crystal-tarot-wellness anti-science movement that RFK Jr. has pied-pipered away from the left. I guess it is convenient still as old-man-yells-at-cloud fodder. They may yet turn to it as a Hail Mary (Jane).

Evil geniuses are very, very rare. Transcending the animal is how one becomes "good." The reason we can is that we possess the capacity for conscious thought that can overcome subconscious, emotional signals. Intention over instinct. Rationality over base reaction. The opposite of faith.

Every movie is a Christmas movie.

I've reviewed films of games with university coaching staff. Actual film, in a projector, shown on a pull-down screen, in black and white. If you asked, for example, "What did that forward just do," the coach manually reversed the film direction in the projector to go back. Jeebus I'm old.
