all the people saying "wait for the midterms" are gonna feel real stupid when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, cancels the elections, declares an indefinite national emergency, and just holds onto power until he dies

"Bernie Sanders and other Senators have introduced a bill to ban sitting presidents from naming buildings after themselves." well thank god they're busy tackling the important problems

The federal investigation into the murder of Renee Good is targeting her wife instead of her shooter. https://newrepublic.com/post/205244/doj-prosecutors-quit-minneapolis-ice-victim-renee-good-widow-investigation

you know at some point the dipshits in charge went from using Nazi dogwhistles to literally just quoting Nazis all the time. like they just smoothly made that transition almost overnight. y'all saw it, right? goddamn

there's two kinds of AITA posts: "AITA for setting this completely reasonable boundary?" and "AITA for doing this utterly deranged thing to someone i supposedly care about?"

rest in piss scott adams

i hope you have a good day today, you deserve it!

it's driving me nuts that news media keep calling the Grok shit "sexualized deepfakes" it's child porn. of real children. it is a child porn generator. say it out loud for fuck's sake.

another thing i have been thinking about, again, is that fascists follow this playbook reliably: they scream about a fictitious crisis, then they set about creating it for real they have done this in Minneapolis

we are quickly getting to a place where the only way you aren't an enemy of the state is if you work directly for it, preferably as some kind of cop. otherwise, you're on the hit list

i see people are waking up to the fact that the accelerationists are in charge, and that maybe it was a bad idea to spend the past 5 or so years rebuking leftists for warning everyone it was coming

Leisure Suit Larry is the Dull Men's Club of videogames

there is no way this regime could actually take over another country and successfully extract more from it than it would cost to acquire. even under a "competent" president this would be astonishingly hard to do (to say nothing of the fact that it's simply _wrong_ to do it.) but they desperately […]

i'm currently workshopping my resume and career prospects and it occurs to me that my years of writing novels have given me the storytelling muscles to develop good stories about my career, too. i'm at a point where answering technical questions is not where interviews will be focused, but […]

i feel like it's been so normalized but... anyone who celebrates or gets excited when cops kill somebody is actually a really disgusting and vile person. that's not a decent human being. that's not someone who can ever truly be a friend. there is no humanity in them, only bloodlust and hatred.

i keep thinking about the handful of Christian friends i had who all independently trolled me _constantly_ on social media, just shitting up my posts all the time taking digs at leftists, trans people, "SJWs," etc. it didn't matter how calm or respectful i was. i never attacked them for being […]

i'm so anxious about the job market i'm redoing my resume even though i don't plan to be looking for a year and a half (knock on wood)

apparently today is "police appreciation day" really picked a hell of a day for it huh

NEVER KILL YOURSELF

here's the thing: fascists are stupid. it's ok to say so. does this mean they aren't dangerous? no! in fact, their stupidity makes them more dangerous, because they are overconfident and break things they didn't mean to (usually at everyone else's expense) but they are in fact incredibly […]

reminded of why i never really post on FB, somebody "well actually"'d a comment i made on something. sorry buddy, but that's a block. my life is too short to waste it like this. i want to waste it in other ways.

the thug who murdered Renee Nicole Good was with ICE since 2016. he was there through the entire Biden admin. what's changed is Trump has signaled he'll let them get away with (literal) murder. now that that genie is out of the bottle, there's no putting it back. ICE must go.

2026 is definitely gonna go down as one of the years of all time

it's always amazing to me when people's response to horrific injustice is "wait X months or years to vote them out." i'm sorry, what, they're entitled to some indefinite period where they can just keep hurting people? i don't think so.

@bigmarinara fantastic foreskins

babe wake up they have Fantastic Four skins in Fortnite

AI vendors are like "just one more integration, bro, just one more trove of your personal data and this will show its value, bro, trust me bro"

i've been playing Fallout 4 again, mostly focusing on settlements and such, and i realized a game that combined the settlement system from that and similar elements of Kenshi would be lit imagining a game of connected settlements in a hostile environment, setting up supply lines and patrols […]

i'll be another to say: if this is the moment that radicalizes someone against this regime, then be glad that they were radicalized now, rather than later or never

life is too short to "debate" anybody unless you're being paid one can have a discussion, but that requires mutual respect, something right-wingers are genetically incapable of

i know people whose family members just shit up the family group chat with fascist talking points every single day and i don't know how they put up with it i simply couldn't. i'd tell them off and block them. i realize i am fortunate to be able to do that. my god. some people are just so […]

you notice how even right-wingers don't talk about America's distinguishing feature being "freedom" anymore? yeah

fuck ICE

when you feel hopeless, try to remember: things have been worse than this, and they still got better

feel like i'm losing my mind watching people say with a straight face "Maduro is a bad guy" in response to him being kidnapped by a child rapist

no fucking way

got woken up basically every hour last night for one thing or another i hate this

hey given the fact that twitter will just randomly feed you child porn now maybe you should stop using it, forever??? finally???

i feel like i write and then delete 10x as many posts/replies as i actually post

i see posts like "it's Americans' responsibility to stop Trump" ok every institution and political body in this country designed to do that is refusing to, so you do realize what you are suggesting somebody do, right? you gonna come to that person's aid when and if they act? i doubt it

how do you convince good people it's worth sticking around in a world that hates them and wants them dead? i am at a loss

already hit the high point for 2026, i got followed back by Google Balls

sure is something watching the US speedrun 2003

i wish Google Balls would follow ME back cowards

"it is so sad steve jobs died of google" "who the hell is steve jobs" "google balls"

the question is not whether Maduro is a bad guy or not. even Venezuelans are not of a monolithic opinion on that. but if you are American, you have to ask yourself whether you think this sort of action is acceptable. do you want foreign governments overthrown so we can steal their resources? […]

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

i was anti-war in October of 2001 so i'm used to being on an extremely unpopular but completely correct side

the US has sought "regime change" in Venezuela for almost 30 years so let's not pretend Trump has done something in conflict with US policy. he has simply executed its logical conclusion getting rid of him but keeping the rest of this diseased system would only ensure this will happen again […]
