The Niemietz Escalator; more people are appreciating its beauty every day.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THE PRESIDENT HAS DISCOVERED DEVIANTART. I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Order and justice will begin to be restored when the ultra-rich and powerful fear the cost of knowingly breaking the law far more than they fear the cost of obeying it.

Indiscriminate billionaire confiscation is a bad idea. Confiscating everything Elon owns for actual crimes he actually fucking committed on a colossal scale to the tune of millions dead is merely what justice requires.

Yes, ~all votes for an election should be counted well within 24 hours of the polls closing. This is a solved problem, stop acting like it isn't.

Y'know, I'm really not thrilled to be experiencing the reemergence of sectarianism, I was more than happy to leave the era of revenge killings by scum operating on the moral calculus of chimps with a complete disregard for innocent lives well in the past.

You're surprised at the announcement of an Ocarina of Time remaster? Really? They've been rereleasing that game nonstop since the GameCube days; it's like browsing the movie selection of the nearest relevant retailer and being shocked to find an Original Trilogy box set. What were you expecting?

An English citizen was murdered in their own country by Russia during the 2018 World Cup. Spare us this hyperbole.

Hundreds for sure and maybe thousands of indentured servants died constructing the facilities in Qatar

The example of Mike Lee removes any doubt that psychopathy can be an acquired trait.

And he's only been dead for three months!

Aren't immigrants and transplants a combined majority in most of these areas, with "natives" sometimes not even being a plurality?

Motherfuckers want Woke Hokou.

Socialism is when the government taxes people, and the more people the government taxes the more socialismer it is.

Capitalism: involuntary state ownership of the means of production Socialism: any tax increase on billionaires if any amount of it might possibly be spent on The Blacks

Say what you will about Biden, but his staffers are not universally a blight upon the earth like Obama and Sanders staffers.

*The* gayest political movement of my lifetime.

Once again: the trucks, trains and planes delivering everything to the store do not care about how you got there.

Yeah, sorry, this is gonna make for an extremely effective attack ad because possessing the level of literacy needed to read the text of Genesis or catechisms or confessions, let alone internalize their meanings, is a woke trait now.

Oh, it's even stupider than that. Sinwar thought the vast majority of the Israeli population are magically fake Jews who would revolt and accept Islam if he bloodied the nose of the Israeli state hard enough.

Like 9/11, there's been an effort to retcon the motive into "goad the enemy into a heavy-handed reaction to discredit their grief and turn world opinion against them," because the truth of why it happened is so incredibly stupid it sounds like propaganda by the victims. But terrorists are *idiots*.

A really fundamental problem is people think Trump can do whatever he want and in reality he’s mostly just done a tax cut

It's like Rashomon, but for one of the dumbest, sloppiest wars of choice in recent memory.

Accounting for five years' inflation and exchange rates, I paid about $1150 for my 2021 Asus laptop, which is still running well today. On its release in late 1982, a Commodore 64, marketed as the "affordable" home computer, cost roughly the equivalent of $2000.

Don't tell me about how much you love Oblivion or Skyrim if you've never endured the struggle of playing them at SNES Doom frame rates as save bloat invisibly rots your playthrough to the point of nothingness before you've even finished half the questlines.

"It's much easier to break things than it is to build them" is the perennial frustrating factor in wet dreams of reformers governing like reactionaries.

Don't tell me about how much you love Oblivion or Skyrim if you've never endured the struggle of playing them at SNES Doom frame rates as save bloat invisibly rots your playthrough to the point of nothingness before you've even finished half the questlines.

I feel the same flicker of nostalgia as anyone else watching old videos of the Blades menu or Xbox Live voice messages, but I also know it took us about half a dozen returns before we were issued a 360 that's still working today. I will not be misled on what a pile of shit the early revisions were.

Prop 13, but for stock market and VC gamblers who got lucky back in ~1994–2008.

Don't just demonetize. Have every last example hunted down, confiscated and destroyed by the feds. And do the same with his coins and passports.* *This is, of course, assuming any of them ever actually get made

As I've seen said before, most of the complaints people think they're making about median voters are actually describing marginal voters. And Trump is the marginal voter God-King.

Air conditioning is not a luxury.

Any socialist figure who died or was assassinated before they had a chance to gain or act on real power. "No, you don't get it, [revolutionary] would have been the one to implement Real Socialism in [country]! I'm certain it wouldn't have ended in mass repression and starvation like all the rest!"

Sorry, they have another round of Biden Old thinkpieces to get through in preparation for the two-year anniversary of his debate and eventual dropout.

1. You should all have learned by now, the gap between "Secretary of Ethnic Purification declares X" and "Operation X put in motion" (let alone "successfully executed") is bigger than the gulf they've pretended to rename 2. That they'd even consider doing this is exactly why every Dem elected in the

Got to love the way everyone is continuing to paper over the 80000 pound elephant in the room explaining the modern disconnect between empirical economic conditions and public economic sentiment.

This is correct and it's why I let out belly laughs at predictions, usually from Anti-Anti-Trump But in a Center-Left Way types who wish for nothing more than for the Democratic Party platform to remain in 1993 in perpetuity, that Democrats are doomed the moment Trump dies. BASED ON WHAT EVIDENCE?

Donald Trump lets his followers live like Tony Montana, minus the money, trophy wife, mansion, cars, fashion or exotic pets.

A single person made out of uncut, concentrated vice has, all by themselves, managed to recreate the anxieties among the general public it previously took a 30 year-long violent crime wave to instill.

Even if someone is the former, it's still only a matter of when, not if, they become the latter.

I wish the neoliberal revolution had been a fraction as total and long-lasting as its detractors think it was.

brand new diner serves coke the normal way

That Ken Paxton is and will continue to be the object of roughly 1/50000 the degree of invective and outrage from certain anti-Crime™ circles as Chesa Boudin, who was last in office four years ago, should be a good indication of how many of those types are thinly-veiled anti-Dem ratfuckers.

Merry Orthodox Star Wars Day to all who celebrate

Looks like somepony's been hacked.

No, it's becoming *classic* gaming now, and I'd appreciate if more gamers would learn the difference.
