Presidential assassination attempts that didn’t get close happened in the past too, but you heard about them less because previous presidents all thought strength was shrugging “you can’t phase me, nothing can,” while this president thinks strength is whining “I’m such a victim, soothe my feelings.”

Laughing my ass off

"Ay, Ma! The crack house be shootin off guns again! You & the youngins play Omaha beach with the crawlin til we know it's over..."

Oopsies... They said the quiet part outloud again... Republicans put everything over citizens....

Nobody asking the important questions in the uk unless it’s “please may I go to the toilet?” (No. You may not. Ever)

Can't decide if Donny or Nige make the better cover

Me: I need a medium sized onion My grocery store: how about an onion so large that even the gods fear it Me: ok

We've all thought abput something like this, I'm certain. Mouth open at the end of a production line of your favourite food.

For republicans: BECAUSE HE'S BLACK! REEEEE!! For democrats: BECAUSE HE GAVE US CHANGE & HOPE! For leftists: BECAUSE HE GAVE US HOPE BUT NOT CHANGE! GITMO IS STILL OPEN!

ACCURATE

The Equality Act was rushed through without proper scrutiny. I said at the time something like this could happen. I was told I was catastrophising.

I’m not financially qualified to give this advice but I think you should quit your job and just come read all day.

I despise the fact that educated women in the workforce is such a pivotal part of this discussion because it puts a target upon womens' hard-won rights. Lack of housing & community support must also not be overlooked. Paid childcare only works when peoplecan afford it.

"bUt WhAt If ThEy GeT dUsTy!!??"

most of the time when people say things like "technofeudalism" or "serfdom" to talk about modern conditions, I would urge you to consider instead the "company town."

BekfAAAAAAAAAAAAAst

"One must be careful when one fights with monsters, lest one become such a monster" - Nietzsche I find myself agreeing with you. Some lines should not be crossed. And collapse is a price worth paying to maintain our humanity. We have rebuilt many times before. We will do so again.

I'd like very much to highlight the very end of this clip; Trump's admiration for Hitler's speeches. It strikes me as more than coincidence that this failure of a human being followed a similar trajectory, used similar rhetoric, enacted similar policies, & will leave a similar legacy when he dies.

He was forced to sell The Plaza along with numerous other assets. He cleared up his debt by running for president and looting the country.

oh them

*chanting* Enron! Enron! Enron!

"We have a very strict procedure around how and how often we use our dogs to rape the prisoners. Ben Gvir likes to watch," an Israeli source told Haamet.

the january 6 insurrectionists were there to kill democrats and they wouldve done it if they’d found any

Please take a moment to read this short, easily digestible thread. Understanding things on a systemic level is important.

A Bigotry is a cognitive tool that requires absolutely no learning and makes navigating the social network easy. On top of that, it's an amazing shame negating tool. You can disqualify the success of anyone you don't like, you can blame any of your personal failures on someone else. It's great.

People assume the point of a Bigotry is Hate, but Hate is just the byproduct. That's how the Bigotry works. And the Bigotry feels real to the adopters because it comes with actual social benefits and social costs. And Racism is adopted so easily as a bigotry because there are no consequences.

While it is good that Ms Walton is fighting against a fascist army of brownshirts, Ms Walton is still a billionaire beneficiary of Walmart - a company which recieves massive subsidies to keep its employees trapped in poverty - and is therefore an evil bastard. No billionaire earned their wealth.

Anon reviewer told us to cite more of my work:

Cooking is such a fundamental skill and I mourn its decline! Make soup! Make porridge! Roast off some meat &/or veggies! Use some flour, fat, & water/ stock to make a simple gravy! Slow-cook some tomato sauce! Or a stew! Steam up some rice & fry an egg! None of these is hard to do & all are tasty!

Holy shit, this is terrifying. I'm amazed all the astronauts were able to remain so composed. Religious fundamentalists are a danger to us all.

With respect, most US households could not survive a single month without a job; How do you expect them to engage in revolution? If you really want this, you must create thr infrastructure to permit & sustain it. Food, water, housing, triage, education, & transport. 80% of the fight is logistics.

Like father like son. I wonder if he bullied any of his to suicide, then covered it up, as well?

We have walkable data centers, they are called Libraries.

Today in 1868, Darwin wrote to a friend, "It drives me mad & I know it does you too, that one has no time for reading anything beyond what must be read: my room is encumbered with unread books." 📚🧪

Enough people interested in politics chose to elect a serial-rapist, chronic-fraudster, and man who declared he could kill someone and not have it affect his ratings... AFTER he had already tanked the economy once. Do you really want more people with no clue casting ballots moving forwards???

There’s a rogue “O” in the book title

this photo cracks me up

Seriously, why would you *NOT* want to be a charmingly passionate lover who invests in the ideas of friends (everyone is your friend!), deep devotion to your family, a talent for being an incredible host (and fencer), with a strong independent goddess of a wife? Sounds like goals to me...

Fuck Alpha male ideology! Boys, you want an intense love story and satisfaction in your love life? THIS IS WHO YOU SHOULD EMULATE, not losers like Andrew Tate or Testicular or whatever his name is...

The greatest weapon of fascism is its appeal to an idealised vision of the past which never existed. Seeing this illusion for what it is is the first step to unravelling the rest of the machine. We can never go back. Never. The only path is forwards. And addressing vital wounds is a good idea.

"The sheep were Hamas," a spokesman for the IDF said.

I love when a recipe says “ready in 15 minutes” and step one is “after caramelising the onions.”

Saw this article yesterday. It made international news. While the driver was fined, I have no hope that this will dissuade future stupidity from his demographic. (Supporters of Musk).

Despite a huge movement of British chefs over the last 50 years, many people have lost confidence to do more than oven-bake ready meals. These people will be the first to bow to tyrants in a famine because they cannot prepare, stretch, or preserve food. Climate change will cripple them to breaking

I very much appreciate the idea further down in the thread that these gen-""AI"" losers may end up Stone Souping themselves in order to produce something which matches their vision. (Much love for this, singing about Stone Soup was one of my earliest memories of music class)

Got an AI booster in the replies claiming that adding extra fingers in an art piece is a sign of the machine's human-like creativity
