Hey so what's the deal with aliexpress these days is there still a weird tariff on importing stuff or can I buy mechanical keyboard numpads for like 40 bucks again

adhd is so silly sometimes, like why am I procrastinating playing a video game I want to play lol

many liberals get upset when i say i won't vote for gavin newsom but i did vote for kamala harris in 2016 so i think i deserve a break.

I rarely do this, but I’m hoping I maybe have enough of a following here that someone can help: I need to get in contact with Donkey Kong. It’s urgent

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

Inject this into my veins

It sucks that the world factbook got taken down. I'll have no way of quickly finding out if north korea is operating at 5 or 8 megahitlers of totalitarianism. It's like when they defunded radio free asia but even worse.

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

bro they're playing your leitmotif pizzicato. there's a slow clarinet lurking beneath it. you better not be about to betray me right now i swear to god bro

Every podcast this week: hey I know we are a podcast dedicated to medieval maps but there is Epstein stuff about that too.

This isn't that big of a deal, all told. The likely thing that will happen is that the ones consecrating bishops without approval will be excommunicated, which is common. Invalidating something like this is 90% of was excommunication is used for, and it happens somewhat often.

well i don't like dooming on here very much but the stuff about trying to rig the midterms is really worrisome. doesn't seem good. would probably be important now if ever for anyone with real power to do something.

I say it with nothing but grief, and anger. I hope it's becoming more and more clear. It's an organizing principle for *so much* of what they do. Once you evaluate their actions through this lens, it's an aspect of so much of what they do even in unrelated initiatives.

Each time I point out that the Republican platform is simple (they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it), a few people think I'm exaggerating, and usually some small number of people think I'm being sardonic or something. I mean it quite literally.

It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet. (Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)

we don't have to accept these people plying their gruesome trades among us. we really don't! we don't have to let these people experiment on us and ruin our lives and take our livelihoods

Lawyer here. There’s a lot of misinformation about what this means. It means he’s innocent even though he did it and the judge said that it’s good what he did

I have been accused several times of being too mean to the hat man and his gormless co-host in that video of mine that blew up last year but I will tell you that I did not express even a single drop of the vast ocean of contempt I have for that outlet and its cast of incurious lickspittles & bullies

A Democratic Party that reflected the values of its base would put this into its national platform: "Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans."

There’s that number again

Ilhan Omar square up to punch more people. I can think of some members of her party who could afford to show her more respect

meticulously labelling every bad thing the United States has ever done 'un-American' then bolting the gates of my Mind Palace with a gentle smile, secure in the knowledge that I live in the Good Country

just to provide a counterexample; I've been using linux full time for gamedev for over a year, and my experience has been: - installation is pretty simple - drivers, etc, everything worked out of the box - all the software I cared about using works perfectly - I never have to use Windows in a VM

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." Meet 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳, an ICE Deportation Officer from Miami, FL (originally from Puerto Rico). Gonzalez has lived in Miami and Hollywood, FL. He decided it would be fun to travel to Miami to kidnap and threaten people. #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

“We gotta stop the leaking” said Gayle, while Bari turned to her chief of staff to say “who is that black lady? Can we fire her?”

I don't keep doomers in my feed but since apparently some folks do: "celebrate each and every win, loudly" is Organizing 101

whole comic was based on these two tweets coming soon: the other comics

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

The reason why they're still pressing ahead is not because they have some secret plan, but the pretty classic Umberto Eco fascist-folly - because of their ideology they are "constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy."

I got fooled by someone who is famous for being a conman until it was too late. Here’s why that’s actually smarter than seeing it coming:

i feel for all the radical centrists out there now confronting the fact that their ideology was the one built in a bubble and formed by groupthink. with enough exposure to facts and logic they will, some day god willing, catch up to the left

Saw this new-to-me macro on reddit and I figured I'd share it here where it is bound to be extremely useful

no matter how bad you are at your job, no matter how crazy things might get, very few people in modern history have ever been more over their head while in charge of a more fucked up situation than kristi noem

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

i think they are reaching beyond their grasp. too disorganized, too undisciplined, too unpopular to do what they're doing with the numbers they have. they're not credible as an organ of the state, just an extremity that the administration will gnaw off the second they feel a snare start to tighten

A fun thing about everyone being furious but also (mostly) too smart to fedpost is that the TL is full of statements like “Evil is bad.” or “Sometimes actions are justified.”, a weird kind of poetry.

now is a good day to call anyone you know who voted for this and leave a short voice mail about your feelings on how things are going so far

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

the people putting themselves in the line of fire are doing something most of you or i are not doing. it needs to be understood as such, and supported.

Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are. And MAGA knows it. www.cnn.com/2026/01/23/p...

Also no mention of the general strike that was part of this today. Zero. Corporate media doesn’t want you to know this was a general strike

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is
