Yuh. At maximum capacity, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve can supply the U.S. market for about 2 to 3 months. A presidency focused on literally nothing but insider-trading nonsense and payback against political enemies was eventually going to lead to some extraordinary events. Clock's ticking.

"Tumorland"

Jfc I don't know what was burning in Canada yesterday but here in New Hampshah it totally smells like the public men's room at York Beach, Maine, a combination of bulk-purchased urinal cakes, old-dude piss and the random glandular activity of 11-year-old boys who have no idea what's happening

Happy birthday failing republic, George Washington had to beg Thomas Jefferson to take the position of the first Secretary of State until he resigned in disgust. Nowadays our Secretaries of State are nothing more than architects of genocide.

I hope every MAGA who bought this moronic "investment" has to eat Little Friskies for the rest of the year. Trump isn't just "the most corrupt president ever," he's one of the top five worst people ever born. I mean can you even believe this?

Coming soon to a shithole country near you. But no really, ladies, keep believing that the fact that NOW is currently run by the same bunch of snobby, brunching, progressive-hating useful DNC idiots that helped lose Roe v Wade for you won't lead to anything a million times worse.

Leadbelly being intentionally ironic about the horrors of capitalism's exploitation of... well, everyone (1945).

Common sense tells us that real socialism would work because most people would be more than happy to contribute their time and labor to bettering others' lives. Psychologists say people's existential miseries stem from *not* being able to help others because under capitalism it's "just not done."

The endgame will not be tweeted.

One hundred fucking thousand dollars for a court-side ticket to the Knicks game

Yes, and then force the CIA to tell Congress everything they do and how astronomical their funding is, then replace them with the State Department's INR, which would focus our "intelligence" more on building international relationships and not randomly killing brown people for oil and rare metals.

Grogu’s family has announced he has passed away. “He was probably like 56 years old, which is like a baby age for little freaks like him,” his mother told the Times. He will be flushed down a special toilet with an extra wide pipe designed for Yoda disposal. “Like a big green turd,” she added

Me, suddenly realizing I have to start posting a lot of stuff in a hurry because I took like a whole week off social media and everyone just figured I died

All my life, every time I pick up a baby it starts screaming and squalling. I always figured it was because babies can totally sense when a carnivorous egg-eating scavenger is close by.

Daily reminder that collective action, pooled resources and complete rejection of the status quo are the only things that matter anymore.

They should make a social platform exclusively for AI chuds. Call it "Glass House" and its core feature is that it automatically and instantly blocks anyone who disagrees with you.

America's civilian population reacts to $6 gas prices ruining all their tightly budgeted summer vacation plans on top of having no healthcare, political representation or viable career paths

"One of my friends is like a beer expert, you know, he's like 'We gotta go to a brewery,' I'm like 'Why can't we just go to a bar?' He's like 'It's fun, you can see how it's made!' I don't care how it's made. Look, I like porn, but I don't need to go to a broken home." - Mark Normand

Weasel-speak: "Don't be silly, we're not laying people off and replacing them with bug-infested beta versions of AI workers! We're simply spending so much on fixing AI bugs that we can't afford to keep our human workers, lol don't you get the difference?" *That's* how stupid he thinks you are.

Oh stfu about "86 47 means REMOVE, not moider!" Your daily reminder that us way-too-online types who eat raw liver with hotXXX tabasco sauce first thing in the AM are all messaging each other with stuff like "Actually, I'm more like '187 47' baby, what is this Brady Bunch bullshit?" Grow a couple.

It'll be such a time-saver when people can walk into a store and the salespeople know not to even ask them if they need help because of their -100 credit score

Even corporate AI can't lie about the fact that capitalism is basically slavery, go ahead, ask it

Behold the shitlib punditocracy, preparing to welcome verified transphobic misogynist Tucker Carlson into the cool kids club. All he'll change after he replaces Trump in the hearts of the heartless MAGA faithful will be firing any ICE stormtroopers who can't do 10 pull-ups.

Friggin hate this joke country

The problem with Facebook is that you'll post a meme like the one below, highlighting some slightly dated statistic, and you can always count on some jerkoff who's feeling rebellious to barge in and reply with something massively douchey like "Welllll, that's not eNtiReLy aaaaaaaacuraaaate"

I have no respect whatsoever for anyone who tries to sound smart by adding superfluous syllables to words that are perfectly suited to their given purpose on their own. It's dumb, knock it off.

And that's why well-off anti-socialist liberals are as inherently bad as MAGAs. Their idea of social justice is minorities getting minimal representation at the highest power levels, not every citizen having the same basic privileges (food, shelter, the wherewithal to work on their dreams) as them.

Winter is finally leaving. Unlike the 230,000 people who've ended their own lives so far this awful, terrible year, you've survived. You aren't expected to accomplish anything else.

In the words of Samuel Adams, the people have largely become "tributary slaves" without any real representation.

Every single fucking thing about this timeline feels so false and broken. Most people are just waiting for someone to pull the fire alarm so all humanity can stampede out the doors to hunt down the rich and smash everything in sight while Alice Cooper's "School's Out" blares from the car speakers.
