Growing up we always muted commercials. One day, watching TV at a friend’s house, I muted the commercials. Everyone stared at me in horror and someone actually said, “Why would you do that?!” like I just threw paint on their furniture. So that’s how I learned how propaganda works as a 10 year old.

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

Lmao what customers?

"The average voter believes a SNAP recipient gets $20/day, more than 3 times the actual amount of $6."

When the president gets ordered, multiple times, to pay out federal food benefits as the law requires:

trainsition to greatness

This is just about setting the defaults so that ‘high value’ / high profile users and corporations don’t see people yelling at them for being shit.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Who's going? #Fallout

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Just found this while packing, so it looks like I’m livin’ on easy street from now on IN A HUGE MANSION

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

[ROB ZOMBIE, ABOUT TO WRITE ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER MADE] you ever think about the car grandpa munster drives

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

Sad!

Remember, the fascists are deeply DEEPLY unpopular despite the tireless efforts of the single largest multi-vector propaganda apparatus in all of human history trying to tell you different

The worst people you know are upset and I think that’s wonderful

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral race, NBC News projects. nbcnews.to/4nIzNUC

begging with my entire heart for election results across the map which force the Dems to finally begin internalizing the lesson that throwing trans people under the bus is going to fuck them repeatedly

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

If you want to dress up like an ICE agent to rob, rape, and kidnap innocent people, you are supposed to join ICE first, c'mon now

Started WTANR assuming groups would populate a blank hexmap with terrain and locations randomly generated as they moved from various Points A to Points B. Lately I'm drawn to the idea of going mapless. Makes the world less predictable, keeps players worrying about what's around the next corner.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

I am going to be so normal about this, cool

"Democrats Deeply Worried About the Repercussions of Victory" could be the defining statement of our generation.

All these cheap jokes about Dick Cheney's death make me sick. Where is your sympathy for those hundreds of orphans that were already psycoconditioned to be willing blood sacrifices for his 2026 life extension?

Khyron the Zentraedi warlord has just endorsed Cuomo

at point blank range the right subway sandwich could give a guy high blood pressure!

What’s infuriating to me as someone who has identified as a Democrat literally longer than Spanberger has been alive is that many of the policies Mamdani supports would have comfortably fit within the Democratic Party tent before Reaganism. Neoliberalism should NOT be the default for Democrats.

they all write/talk like this now and it feels like a new genre: hate smut; manic, agitated vitriol that reads like it was written while feverishly masturbating to revenge fantasies

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

listen we may have lost our family business, made our kids miserable, had to live in a barn with goats and lost $50,000 to a local Russian slumlord, but at least we dont have to see gay people in public

Also Harry Potter adults really ought to be ostracised and I mean that with my whole chest because if you can casually support it then that means you’re cool with supporting its creator against trans folks so please go house sort yourself into a bin where you belong.

#SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org

Toughest choice you have to make every morning when getting dressed.

Packing for The Big Move. Sad to say I never had the chance to take any FFG 40k game for a spin

I mentioned this stat from Alisa Wood of KKR in a talk I did a few weeks ago, but did you know: There are more private equity firms in the United States than there are McDonald's? (~19,000 vs. 14,000) In 1980, there were 24 PE firms *total* in the U.S. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

You’d never catch one of these coddled kids nowadays “working in the lab late one night.” And the only thing their eyes are beholding is their damn phone

Hard to overstate the lifeline this ruling offers in the face of Trump's calculated cruelty. It will not only keep tens of millions—half of them kids—fed this month, but will also prevent the evictions and shutoffs that would have resulted from families being forced to pay for food out of pocket.
