Oh hey guess what, GIPHY let me be an official Creator for them, so you’ll soon be able to find my dumb little animations on your neighborhood GIPHY keyboard. It’s meaningless fun!

I am not a fan of this vibes-based economic governance.

He’s cooking here, I’m afraid!

Now this is a goddamn manifesto. He has a clear voice, has thought out and laid out his rationale, it’s of a decent length, it’s coherent. We’re so back (ON A PURELY LITERARY LEVEL, DON’T TRY TO KILL THE PRESIDENT)

BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

grotesque. they murdered and terrorized your citizens just months ago, these were international stories. and they’re still at it! but sure, go hobnob with the nazis. you’re very cool.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Laid up with a torn rotator cuff so I made this.

I am filling out a price list for a government agency, and their dropdown list for "unit" has 900+ options. Some of the highlights: Apothecary Scruple Mother Tincture Wet Pound Thimble Full Inhalation Wafer Calorie Quire

Periodic reminder: if you were to break down the Bill of Rights clause-by-clause, more than half of them make it harder to investigate, arrest, prosecute, and punish people for crimes It is the most profoundly anti-law enforcement document the Government has ever had And that's a good thing

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

“The only ethical way to become a billionaire is to divorce one.” -Josh Johnson @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social

the useful thing about this is that the people using it are revealing to the rest of us that they never believed Jesus was a real guy in the first place

Why would you ask AI to tell the story of your own life? defector.com/why-would-yo...

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

I’M SORRY WHAT

I think this is true, and part of the Everything is Gender theory. We are governed by that section of the populace that believes that Father having violent tantrums until everyone else cowers, even as his life falls apart around him, was an aspirational display of power and mastery.

I don’t want to hear about brave and conflicted service members I want to hear about people sacrificing their careers to do the right thing

I am here for messaging that the THREAT alone - regardless of if it's carried out or walked back - should end his presidency. The die is already cast. You cannot wield the power that man has and say that kind of shit.

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything? That’s how the internet was.

6/ Pregnancy is the only condition where Florida courts have ruled that a mentally competent patient can be forced to undergo unwanted treatment. It’s rooted in the concept of fetal personhood: that a fetus has equal and, in some cases, more rights than the woman sustaining it.

$200 billion a year would enable a universal basic income of about $500/mo. That would essentially abolish severe poverty in America. Poverty would drop by about a third, and because the downstream costs of poverty are about $3 TRILLION a year, that would be a return on investment of $800B a year.

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever. It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

It’s amazing how many opportunities for improvement open up when you get rid of the centrist boomer car-brained do-nothings.

So migrants crossing the U.S. border is “an invasion.” But bombing another country and assassinating their leaders is not an invasion. Got it.

Cool hey did anything happen *before* 1979 between the United States and Iran

Oh get fucked

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

It's so funny watching our socialist GOAT continuously dogwalk the president.
