I’d like to propose an indefinite moratorium on the phrase “speaking truth to power” since, quite clearly, power doesn’t give a good goddamn about truth. It cares about power!! That’s why we’re here now!!!

RFK Jr. is head of all public health in the US with no medical experience whatsoever. No one should have impostor syndrome ever again.

The more I think about RFK Jr's degrading remarks about autistic people the more I'm reminded how autistic people are some of the most brilliant & delightful folks I've ever known. (Who most certainly pay taxes!!!) His words tell us everything about him & nothing about the actual autistic community.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

I wonder how many people will realize they’re in abusive relationships due to this 2nd Trump term.

Trump signed an executive order on March 27 that rips up federal union contracts and illegally strips over one million federal workers of their union bargaining rights. With 32% of the public sector unionized, compared with only 6% of the general workforce, this is an attack on every union worker.

What a beautiful metaphor for capitalism that we all get to observe the cratering of Tesla’s stock value, seeing a company run by an egomaniac, using the name of an actual genius, get exposed as the hollow fraud it always was.

I’m reading Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning” for the first time and, in light of this text and the power of it, the fact that “12 Rules for Life” became a best-seller and JBP is taken seriously as a public intellectual is a genuine embarrassment.

I wonder if El*n M*sk is really just doing this to us all so he can become the world’s first trillionaire. He’s buying a place in history.

Oh God, I can already see the Onion headline: “Trump Again Breaks with Tradition and Sends Live Turkey to Guantanamo”

So RFK Jr is confirmed. While H5N1 learns new ways to infect mammals at large. While Ebola breaks out in Uganda. While Tuberculosis makes a comeback in Kansas. Pray that none of this recklessness demands its pound of flesh from you. Cuz it will take that and much more from very many.

To all the people freshly waking up to the total sclerosis of the Democrats, all I can say is: the revolutionary left welcomes you. They’ve always been like this. Let’s build something better. www.socialistalternative.org/about/

I knew things were gonna get BAD but I didn’t expect that by February I’d be watching the world’s richest man literally rip apart the US Government from the inside out while tweeting about every federal crime he’s committing.

I’ll never know but I’d love to find out how the vehement anti-vaxxer I almost dated in 2019, who hated Tr*mp but LOVED RFK Jr., is squaring this particular circle today…

Pro of finally having a gaming PC that can handle Dead Space after wanting to play it for over a decade: you can play it. Con: Dead Space is fucking terrifying.

His eyes seemed to say: “I am inevitable.”

I just stood in a hateful stalemate between me and the mouse in my kitchen for a long, long time. I found him in a crevice, beady little onyx eyes staring up at me. So clearly visible but so impossible for me to reach, catch, or do anything about… So anyway, this mouse has a pretty nice place.

This is a weird way for me to find out that I've been a sentient AI this whole time — huge bummer.

Why love what you will lose? There is nothing else to love. — Louise Glück

LA fires are a good reminder that the only difference between me and any refugee is luck.

Hahahahahaha, oh man, can you imagine how insane everything will get if we have an H5N1 pandemic in 2025 with RFK Jr. in charge of the CDC?? (The US just had its first confirmed H5N1 fatality in Louisiana, btw). If we thought the government sucked at public health before, we’ve seen NOTHING yet.

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

The first Christmas came with a slaughter of the innocents too. Jesus Christ is every dead Palestinian child.

Feels like now would be a good time for Adam Guettel to come off of hiatus and start prepping for an “Assassins Pt. 2.”

It’s a tough time to be a generalist. I have a combination of skills unique only to me and the ability to learn and problem -solve extremely rapidly but good fucking luck getting any hiring manager to see that in a resume. I’m. So. Tired.

Why yes I am tired enough to be willing to finance my lunch tomorrow. Another day in paradise. 🇺🇸🦅💥

Ah. There it is. The Faustian bargain one makes with weed: the sensation of losing a really good idea in exchange for a pretty okay night. TL; DR: 😈🥬🤝🥴

I could only enjoy Arcane more if they had gone The Boys-style hyperviolence. But that’s a me problem otherwise this show is stunning. It’s like they made an entire show out of concept art.

Can we get verified blue checkmarks added to this site so I don't look like a fucking loser nobody whenever i post please. Thank you.

While I have your attention, show some love to my podcast, I suspect we'll be rather active on here as we and our fellow rats leap off that Titanic. 😆 bsky.app/profile/haml...

The interface on here is so familiar and pleasant, like old twitter was, using it is like reliving a lost love. Fuckin' surreal.
