Please make it stop

Frankly, I think people tell themselves that the country is outraged and traumatized at being left to death and disease because that's less unsettling than the more obvious explanation, which is that people were largely ambivalent about mitigating COVID risk after the pandemic's most acute phase.

I think the idea that people in red states were dismayed at being abandoned during COVID and turned against the leaders that abandoned them is testable, and I don't think the evidence suggests that's what happened.

This report came out today by minority staff of the House science committee on how three NASA missions were aborted due to NASA illegally following the FY26 president's budget request instead of congressionally approved budget. Very important reading. 🔭🧪 democrats-science.house.gov/staff-report...

found out about r/okbuddyimatourist

we should also stop supporting their slaver petrostate backers

YOU (a fool): "Corporations have more resources and more leverage when it comes to contesting these decisions, so they have more leeway than individuals." ME (very wise): "Horny is a cultural trend now and so Capital wants to vore it."

This is a Democrat inflected version of the same brainworms. This is a man whose main definition of tyranny is people who tell him no, & then he fills in the rest behind.

Wall Street right now

The grace was that all these people did not receive their just punishment of being shot on the spot in January 2021. They have long since squandered that grace.

this morning, mamdani’s team got in touch with me to float a new tax proposal: if your net worth exceeds $5 million and you dress badly, you’ll be hit with a 10% annual levy for “visual pollution.” i would be in charge of deciding if the outfits are bad.

John Eastman is a traitor who should thank God and Joe Biden every day that he did not meet a traitor's fate.

I don't know what the actual punishment is for stuff like this, but imho this is the kind of thing I think you should face the death penalty for because it is an attempt to abrogate the constitution and vest all power in a single person

Send them to jail

The strait is fully open to commercial traffic, as long as they're willing to use the safe lanes with an escort to avoid the mines, shoals, and Porphyrio the whale, submit to health and safety inspection, scrape their hulls to avoid invasive species, and keep their spacing.

Let us not forget that it is illegal and everyone involved needs to go to prison.

People couldn’t even ration “not getting covid”

SteveMRE1989 would be aghast at this terrible tray

Look man, I think the teacher was onto something here.

The more demoralizing part is the mail not getting through tbh

Website’s working for fine for those of us whose hearts are pure

Last posts. Make em count.

People say this despite living in a world where the ACA exists

My argument is that you can’t reliably improve political sentiment and electoral performance by making the economy better. We know that because the lines went up, and the people who are in charge when they were going have not benefited from it at all, as it was widely assumed they would.

Man it's a

I've often contemplated how the PRC's intimidation of dissidents in the diaspora could be far more effective if they ran and advertised an English language rat line

How is TJ Maxx not getting in on "looksmaxxing," riding it hard for a fiscal quarter of advertising campaign, then walking away with the satisfaction of having murdered the trend.

OMG there’s going to be a @poptartsbowl.com Edible Mascot sacrifice for *fans* at the NFL Draft! Protein Slammin’ Strawberry will be drafted by the fans and head to Mouth Heaven on Friday, April 24 at 3pm ET at Nova Place — 100 S. Commons, Pittsburgh, PA. (Venue opens at 1.)

I would hope that outsiders could look beyond our current government when evaluating Americans, but I would also hope that they would not supply our current government with heavy weaponry. 🥰

the longer quote hits even harder

it's pretty incredible that so many people thought 3+ years of IDF zoomers live streaming their child execution videos to Diplo remixes on TikTok (while their parents protest prison rape prosecutions) wouldn't backfire spectacularly

"Saving America through pedophilia" is a pretty accurate distillation of the GOP worldview

Why has no general resigned over illegal boat strikes, the operation in Venezuela, the Iran War, or an impeding operation against Cuba (apparently)? I think HR McMaster and Dereliction of Duty, a book that supposedly demands it, actually lets them off the hook, offers one explanation. My latest⬇️

I think a lot of podcasters in this vein should be interpreted as “reactionary” in the most literal sense that they are extremely vacuous and form their politics by following trends of resentment against whatever they see on social media

I wouldn't have made it long enough to get in an argument about whether tanks were just a fad, or if allying with the Nazis in 1939 was a good move.

one of the biggest technological revolutions in history and it has nothing to do with crypto, AI, metaverse or any of the things the media relentlessly hypes

one reason i'm so primed to dislike the More Perfect Union brand of political agitation is that i remember just five or six years ago when the gig economy was supposed to be a bad thing but now we need to protect Uber and Lyft from the evil forces of Waymo

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

Progressives are in a state of collective delusion about this. Right now unemployment is 4.3%. Inflation is 3%. Real wages have been increasing. And consumers literally think it's the worst economy IN MODERN HISTORY. Yes it's funny it's happening to Trump. But it will (and did) happen to us, too!

The dry and rote invocation of a just war to describe what we just did in Iran is a knowing and frankly wicked lie, to say that the way of the Price of Peace is with the sword. The fuck gospels do these people read

i know everybody likes the documentaries, and they're great, but jon bois has always been and always will be a master of the written word
