"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

We’re sending $20 billion to prop up the Argentinian Elvis impersonator while shaking Americans down for their medications and ikea furniture.

It's fitting that it's on obstruction of justice and making false statements, two charges that law enforcement routinely abuse against regular people due to their incredibly flexible nature and a "justice system" that encourages said flexibility.

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump. It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

It's always shut the fuck up Friday. Never talk to cops or feds without a lawyer. Remember, they can lie to you, you cannot lie to them.

YOU consent to the scene by deciding to read it. whether the characters do within the fantasy or not is completely irrelevant

My homeless friend lost his anti-seizure medication so when he got up in the night to pee at the encampment he fell, hurt himself, and died there. He was found 3 days later and honestly it’s atypical they looked for him with department resources. But sure, Elon.

If you don't believe in class warfare.. Well surprise, dumbass. It believes in YOU and NOT the Geneva Conventions. We're at the "woe is me, the billionaire upper class, give us empathy AND more power because we are the virtuous, suffering underdogs of life" of the class war. Don't ask what's next.

No, people aren’t whining about the kids not being horny enough. That’s a malicious misrepresentation and you know it. People are whining about the kids echoing socially conservative and toxic views on depictions of sexuality in media, because the ability to publicly discuss sexuality is crucial.

It's *super interesting* how eager rightoids are to read, quote, and dress up as Hitler. So strange how that keeps happening!

reeve tuesti setting cait sith to an auto-pilot function because there's an artist that's going to open up commission slots soon and he doesn't wanna miss out again

The anti-porn/anti-queer/anti-kink argument always boils down to "adults are not allowed to get horny with other adults, because kids exist". This is the argument the UK's using to try to turn the Internet into a G-rated family playground.

A lot of people want to live in a post-material political world. Where wishcasting and vibes determine the political order, not reality and outcomes. It's a strange symptom of how our society has moved away from expecting materialistic outcomes from their politicians. Just vibes or culture war slop.

Also, what the fuck is this dummy bullshit of "Listen, I just wanted criminals and drug dealers deported"? Do they think it's like Lethal Weapon 2 and undocumented immigrants go "You can't arrest me coppers, I'm ILLEGAL!!! BAHAHAHAHA" and then the cops are like "He has undocumented immunity!!!"

Insulin boy literally just went "He's the king of deals" lol. Hey bud, guess what they used to call Type 1 Diabetes before commie lib doctors figured out how to synthesize and then financially subsidize insulin and why it was called that!

*White construction worker whose field relies on immigrant labor for projects and who needs insulin to survive* "I don't really pay attention to politics because it's not that important in my life"

Me whenever people start talking about declining fertility rates or gender relations

Yeah that sucks that women are increasingly more educated and higher earning than men and that leads to vastly divergent worldviews and values. Hope it all works out for y'all

The way I split the baby here is that I only tolerate "male loneliness" discussion that focuses on platonic friendships. This is a really helpful filter because this represents a rounding error in the total

Post-material politics running head first into the material reality of real life existence. The only way to destroy post-material "vibes" based political calculus is to destroy it with cudgel of real world consequences. These people are stupid, only because they've been sequestered from reality.

Hilarious that Rowling basically said fuck off in response. The eternal relationship of the liberal to the fascist.

The sad, horrific truth is that a significant number of voters have zero capacity for abstract, future oriented, or principled voting. Until they've experienced the outcome of their preferred political choice, they won't associate it with its consequence. And some won't even learn that much either.

Broadly speaking one of the great problems of the postwar era is American, Western European and Israeli politics insulation from the logical consequences of their actions

Hootin'. Hollerin' even. They can't help but eat themselves lol

i'm sorry, but if you think voters should avoid the consequences of what they voted for, you don't actually believe in democratic accountability: Trump ran on tariffs. They are getting tariffs. Voters will learn that tariffs are bad.

sorry i'm just sick and tired of ineffectual americans who claim to be radical lecturing me on right and wrong when the american left and liberals are either ineffectual or nowhere to be found

you cannot "smolbeanify" the moral agency of millions of people who decided to enshitty the rest of the world, whether it be USAID, climate change, or whatever

"This slide from political grievance into a nihilistic rage is a critical symptom of a society in the grip of a leaden age. It signals a shift beyond targeted political acts to a broader contempt for society itself, a desire not just to win a political battle, but to watch the entire system burn."

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better. [reads any New York Times focus group] Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]

You are terrified upon the realization that a superstar athlete is younger than you. I am terrified upon the realization that the NYT panel of Trump voters who sound like idiotic boomers are all younger than me. We are not the same.

At a major "anti-hate" conference a few years ago I was on a panel where I lightly suggested big tech companies were faking their concerns about hate/misinfo. It didn't go over too well. But let the record show that once again I was right. They only care about money. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The ”evil white guys go troll a HBCU and then run away and cry that they didn’t know any better“ is one of those small pieces of evidence that all of this remains, in large, a consumer ideology and that it would *shatter* the moment it met any materially significant social reckoning.

So the gunman in Dallas shot detainees, not ICE, and authorities are calling it an targeted act of violence against ICE. Got it.

They're trying to paint a 4chan edgelord who loved offensive online humor and shot a bunch of detainees being held by ICE as a leftist

The government is rounding people up and putting them into camps and nobody is talking about it as political violence Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint. She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

trumps administration is whining and begging everyone to stop comparing ICE to the gestapo meanwhile they act just like the gestapo and use social media to post aesthetic videos making fun of and demonizing immigrants

My most millennial take is that software as a service and anything explicitly browser based that requires an internet connection and does not run off the drive inside my machine is a fucking scam

Always fight back. Let's hope there's way more to come.

It's rare when the most generous interpretation is that someone is a big dumbass, but the only other reason she could have is that she's a dumbass AND an evil cynic who erroneously thought hugging this evil creep would be a beneficial tactical decision in service of ????

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

fine

Anyway,

Government run by these dudes here. And they're aggro'd FOREVER.

I love how "violent bloodthirsty mental illness" is a PREREQUISITE for conservative punditry today. If you aren't lobbing bomb or gun threats or justifying murder, then wtf are you on the air for, kid!? Americans don't want "red meat", they want the whole animal screaming in terror. FEED THEM.

I don't even need to read it. Send his ass to gitmo LOL
