i'm not an economist but if 900 people can afford to fund $3,000 checks to damn near everyone else in america and still be insanely fuckin rich afterwards maybe they have too much fuckin money

I think people pointed out years ago that genAI would be weaponized by governments and used to justify war crimes, because once you outsource mass civilian death to a machine, you can just say the machine made a mistake. Israel & the US have been bombing children non-stop for 2+ years.

they double-tapped a fucking girls elementary school

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Oh puh-leez

because I keep forgetting to mention it: LITERALLY ANYONE can nominate books for this prize! yes! that means you! you have until march 31st!

my "don't be mad" post is making a lot of people mad at me in a way that is expressly prohibited by the post

THE PEOPLE WANT MORE HAPLESS LUNKS

If you notice yourself turning to ai for solace, go outside and talk to a tree instead If no tree is available, talk to the earth If no earth is visible, talk to the sky If the sky is hidden from your view, kill your jailer

got called "very stable" by a mental health professional, who i ALSO managed to make laugh. turns out you CAN get a good grade in therapy. just fyi

Out: Vote Blue No Matter Who In: PRIMARY THAT FUCKER OR YOU'RE A SUCKER

New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low. When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?

*snort* www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Just realized that with Abolish ICE at +11, it's polling over 30 percentage-points ahead of Trump approval. Guess that means if the media wants to be representative, it should give at least like 40% more airtime to people who support abolishing ICE to Trump supporters

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it. We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

If your bread has seeds in it just admit you're a member of the petite bourgeoisie

30 years ago Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club accurately predicted that men under late capitalism, empty consumers who had come to think of themselves as “the middle children of history” with no great wars to fight, would eventually prank and shitpost their way into fascism.

Iranians came together to bid a final farewell to 168 young girls, aged 7 to 12, who were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike targeting their elementary school.

It is women in horror month. I am one of those and here is my gothic/horror lit collection that people said was pretty good. www.neonhemlock.com/ebooks/skin-...

Just said "Honey, great news" and showed this to @nbeaudrot.bsky.social and deeply enjoyed the sigh/groan of exhaustion that followed

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

i’ll just keep posting variations on elementary human decency, not that it matters

new iconic meme format just dropped www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

It's always "trying to bring about the rapture" and never the part of the bible about eliminating all debts. If they were really serious about biblical teachings all loans (including credit card debt) would be wiped at the end of seven years

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

I'm just glad I live in a state with a Democratic supermajority, where our legislators can scramble together millions at the last minute for the important things, like an arena renovation that will benefit a billionaire

for what it cost for our allies to shoot down three of our own planes by accident in a murderous illegal war we could have funded the NEH at 150% of its historic peak funding for a year

The reason why some people think the New York Times is a liberal paper is because in like 1986 a far right wing talk radio simpleton called the New York Times a liberal paper. Most American political thought is based on scenarios like this

is everyone on glue

Missed a week with my 8th graders due to the storm, so one last Black History Month poem as a bridge into Women's History Month. This one is by Lucille Clifton, which has a line I think about often: "come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed."

If ‘don’t drink that’ was a photo

The savings we're getting here by annihilating decades of American science will pay for whole minutes of the operation to create decades of death, immiseration, and chaos in Iran.

their absolute favorite thing is to assert, without any facts, how the war is a boon to the republican president. the amount of times they insisted that bush was a "popular wartime leader" outnumbers the stars in the heavens

the media-war machine was at peak performance during the first gulf war under hw bush and was firing on all cannons from 9/11 to the end of 2006. the press didnt want to hear about peacenik hippies opposing war. they wanted their war porn and bush/cheney gave it to them like the best drug dealers.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

(AXIOS) - No president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Donald Trump. @axios.com www.axios.com/2026/03/02/t...

this shit is really giving me flashbacks to getting into physical fights in middle school over the fact that i thought invading Iraq was wrong and that Cheney and Bush were lying to us

Great job chucklefucks

YES!!! I was inspired a couple of years ago to create this.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

God, I don't ask you for much, but please don't let me ever become this particular type of mother (mourning, ignorant, vengeful, geographically confused)

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

I know this is tough but it can be the case that “man bad” (true) and “killing man, who leads sovereign country that’s also unstable and without congressional authorization of war, bad” (also true)

this isn't the worst of the Democrats' statements, but statements like this are a stark reminder that to many people, the real issue with the Iraq War was that Americans died. everything else is a footnote.
