Years before I was born, my mom and her brother found some magazines belonging to their aunt's husband. Apparently those magazines featured, at least in part, a cartoon character named Snoid that lived in someone's ass. Don't ask. That's more than either you or I ever wanted to know.

Sorry dude. You didn't ask to be in this meme, but the siuation demands it.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Thinking, "At least we got them," is naive. There is an almost certain chance that there's more than one shop serving these clients even now, laughing at the fools caught up in Epstein's low-rent set-up. But while we're on the subject, maybe take another look at those Panama Papers?

I’m a fuck no on this vote. War funding, UN cuts, IRS gutting, and censorship dressed up as policy. @danielbiss.bsky.social @laurafine4congress.bsky.social How about you?

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The law only applies to the weak, marginalized and oppressed, if you are rich and powerful, especially in America, you are above the law.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It’s too late, I have already portrayed myself as Chortling Bernie and you as Seething Eric Adams

I can't express how much I love this

My most conservative opinion? That we should go back to the old name for the common kestrel.

Police departments paid out $2.3 billion in settlements in one year. We're not overspending feeding people. We're overspending beating people.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

Like, seriously, has anyone ever heard of a candidate failing the police academy? I've personally known two people that couldn't make it through boot camp and became cops, both because they were on the "fat boy can't run" program

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Then they came for the... [checks notes] comedians? Man, this version of fascism is dumb. I mean, it quite literally feels like satire. Absurdist satire, at that

If that doesn't speak volumes. Genocide is happening now. Fascism is happening now. We thought we were safe in that unbending arc toward progress, but no, it is the same fascism, the same pattern. It's never gone anywhere, just rippled, redistributed. "The past is never dead. It's not even past."

This entire administration is composed of people who have been told about Machiavelli but don't know what The Prince is and certainly have never read it.

What kind of asshole asks you to give them money so they can claim a tax donation? The same assholes that ask you to pay their employees for them

They call themselves "progressive" but by and large are more Blue Dog than the Blue Dogs ever were, ending up at centrist, if not through choice, then through capitulation

I've never been a fan of Dave Matthews. Until now

Swear to god, every time I go to untie a double-knotted shoelace, it makes me want to pull an Alexander and cut them off

It's sad when your neurology has decimated your appetite but not the feeling of hunger and weakness that comes from everything being nauseating. Sadder when it loosens its grip and the thing you wanted to eat tastes like ass

Labor is not demeaning. This is not 'beneath' anyone. It's still an unnecessary disruption, a waste of resources, and executive overreach, but enough with the pearl clutching over respectable work

Scene: large movie theater. Me trying to buy a combo thing. Clerk: I don't know how to ring that up. I'm new Me: Ooo-k Do you want to pay for them separately? No Put them back? No Confused look Go get somebody?! Dude, this isn't my job. The combo ad is right above your head

The correct answer.

Every axis has a unit and a whole. The unit is defined as 1/(whole). A day is 1/365. An inch is 1/12. If the whole has a limit of c, the unit of c is 1/c. 1/c is the square root of epsilon nought mu nought, the magnetic and electric constant (which are ideal constants, just like absolute zero).

This is what happens in Capitalism when you have no competition. They just the prices up and up and up. And you have no choice but to pay as they own every single supplier, just under dozens of different names.

The vanishing point in art and the infinitely regressive nature of fractals rely on the same underlying principle: including information on an unrepresented axis in the represented ones via logarithmic compression/expansion.

They are going to start mass execution and they will market it as "the alligators" to soften it when the news reports come in. We are going to see piles of shoes in museums again

It’s gonna get so weird that people are gonna hafta talk about how weird it is.

I don't know, is it defeatist to say that all this has happened before and that it will happen again, that the only real past or future is, has always been, and always will be here, wrapped up in everything we observe now? The greatest delusion is that you can escape the wheel. Where would you go?
