Visitors from Europe, Asia, Africa, S. America, etc., all need to understand this about the current state of the US: Laws are just suggestions now. Follow the example set by our elected representatives and our corporate executives: Steal everything, and exploit everyone. Enjoy your stay.

The Democratic Party's best bet is probably to promise to repeal everything the republicans have done since Reagan. The current status quo, or "back to normal", is not working for 95% of the US population BECAUSE of Republican policies. Get with unraveling the enshitification, or be replaced.

His toughest opponent yet turned out to be photosynthesis. #AlgaeGate

Has anyone connected the dots? Perhaps the price of oil has gone down because China seems to have stopped importing oil? 🎶"Oooo wee! What's up with that? What's up with that?"🎶

Is it just me, but aren't there dozens of algae-eating organisms that could be released into the reflecting pool that would potentially solve the problem? Add some lily pads and some ducks, etc., and you'd have the US version of Givency Gardens - where multitudes visit and reflect every year?

It's funny to think about, but the only reason to visit a Trump Presidential Library would be either to take a shit on the floor in memory of Jan 6th, or to set the 747 on fire somehow.

I'm getting sick and tired of hearing people complain about inflation when the same corporations that keep raising prices quarter after quarter are, at the same time, making record profits quarter after quarter. It's not inflation. It's greedflation.

Why don't they build data centers in Alaska? You know, where it's cold all the time? Probably wouldn't need to take all the potable water if it were cold all the time, eh?

If the Democrats win back the US House and the US Senate, they should immediately begin clawing back every last dime that Trump, et al, have looted from the public treasury.

Why is it impossible to have one of the US requirements be that Iran signs the UN Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty, and stop all the nonsense about the drivel of this and that? After that, who cares what they do with their Uranium stockpile? They can use it as fuel for a power plant, etc.

There's nothing quite like trying to get support, and the call center has been replaced by an AI chatbot asking me "to turn it off and turn it back on again", or if I'm sure "if it's plugged in". Seems like the LLM was trained by Roy and Moss.

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

“How the fuck is this not the biggest story in the world right now?”

“We can disagree and still be friends.” Yeah. About whether a hot dog is a sandwich. Not whether some people deserve rights.

"AI is an exploitation of laziness and stupidity." - Ed Zitron

Typical meeting at my work: Carl: "Hey, I've got an idea! How about if we make everything 10x more complicated than it needs to be?" Boss: "You're a GENIUS!" Carl: "While we're doing that, let's ALSO... re-invent the wheel!" CEO: "Give that man a raise!"

“We know from experience that sex workers are the beta testers for taking away people's digital rights”

poison the well

How is a stock portfolio a different asset from a home? Tax the fuck out of the rich.

Poison the well. Fuck AI.

Am I the only one who remembers that back in the '70s, boomers were called the "Me Generation" because the whole lot of them were selfish pricks that only cared about themselves? The most successful rebranding campaign of all time.

If you are not familiar with the movie FOR KIDS, "Willard", let me begin with, there is an infestation of rats, and a bullied kid with a grievance. Let your mind wander to the worst places possible. Vioala, "Willard".

People wonder why so many people went completely psycho. GenX doesn't wonder. We know: the movie "Willard".

Asking for a friend: Which movie scarred your youth more, "Jaws", or "Willard"?

Here is the T that is not being crossed, and the I that is not being dotted: The people who staged the insurrection on Jan 6 were the EXACT SAME PEOPLE who started the Confederacy and started the Civil War in the US. It's about their legitimacy in owning slaves.

Let's say: 1. You own a company that makes hamburgers. 2. AI and robots replace 50% of the labor force. Who's going to buy your hamburgers? AI doesn't need them. Robots don't need them. Humans no longer have income and won't be able to buy them. So... what then?

I can't understand why everyone is so determined to ask the wrong questions. It's not "what will humans do when AI and robots replace us?" When the right question to ask is: "How much of [y]our products and services will AI and robots purchase?" How is ANYONE going to make ANY money at all?

Pray-away-the-gay activist turns out to be a closeted child molester. WHO could have predicted? (oh everyone)

Why did we, as a society, decide that 'unnecessarily' is fine, but 'vs.' needs to be abbreviated?

They have shown us what they value. They've shown us how they will govern. At this point, if you vote for any Republican, you are a traitor to the Constitution and to the United States of America.

I am unsure how, or precisely when, it happened, but we seem to have decided that we should be ruled by P.T. Barnham.

Elon Musk is a white-supremacist nazi whose family made millions off underpaid workers in apartheid South Africa. Fuck Elon Musk.

Every time that asshole says other people refer to him as "sir", I cringe. BDSM community, please tell me you have all decided to change the meaning of "sir" to "shithead".

I'm sorry, but the Democratic Party leadership has to go. All Of Them. We need revolutionary firebrands that WILL use whatever power they have - and often power they don't have - to right the ship of state that Republicans are actively trying to sink.

Can we all agree to stop calling Elon Musk "the world's richest man" - as if his existence has any value whatsoever - and instead start calling him "the world's richest prolapsed anus" to better reflect his value to humanity?

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

I'm so sick of people sugar coating the Epstein files. These rich and powerful men raped young girls and boys and the President of the United States was part of it. #ReleaseTheEpstein_Files

I don't hear the term "pyrrhic victory" used nearly often enough when people talk about the current state of affairs, politics, jurisprudence, international affairs, the economy, and the job market. And it only took 15+ months?

If we have to pay property taxes every year on the estimated value of our home, why don't the ultra-wealthy have to pay taxes every year on the estimated value of their investment portfolios, art collections, etc? Tax wealth, not work.

Pedophiles don't get ballrooms.

I just had to watch a video titled, "What to do with leftover biscuits." I know what the word 'leftover' means, and I know what the word 'biscuits' means, but I've never heard of such a thing as 'leftover biscuits'. That phrase still breaks my brain.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

We want every person in the Epstein files arrested and convicted.

Folks need to get over the myth that the middle class is a naturally occurring thing that happens. It is not. The middle class was CREATED by aggressive and progressive tax policy. We did it before, and we can do it again. Tax wealth, not work.

Hey you! Don't watch that, watch this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhBs...

Can someone in Congress introduce a bill entitled the "Pedophiles Don't Get Ballrooms Act"?
