Officially, RIP my 2009 Mac Mini. My last ditch attempt to restart it failed, no chime, just silence. Got me through 6 years of college, got me my first job, and was one hell of a jukebox. The last of the final generation of great Apple computers. A champion of the Steve Jobs era. Now, she rests.

let the gourd times roll

Americans are all "me and my trillion dollar military can beat up any number of farmers, we're so hard" but they can't even overthrow their own government. Beta AF.

Frankly I think it's good that Senate Democrats for once refused to play ball with nihilist fascists who want the country to burn. I'd much rather see them go on offense and make an affirmative case for their partial role in the shutdown than hide and hope voters blame the other side.

Man this place is bumpin when the government is gone

I'm calling it God's Piss and it is mighty

Why are our generals so fucking bald???

I have added coffee to hot cider and created something truly powerful Drinking this feels like standing on the deck of the Edmund Fitzgerald as it snapped in two

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things It’s not a “big tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

I don't think there are enough people in America that even pay attention to what's going on for this administration to get the unrest it wants

It amazes me how poorly the media and politicians treat David Hogg That guy should get more respect than John McCain yet he's treated like a grifter

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said.

No notes

Where did liberals even cook up this fantasy of American history that was nonviolent and trusting and generous? Where did this whitewashing fucking come from? It's like they just slapped on a Smiley Face sticker after the Carter admin and went into a stupor

I've seen more innocent looking Doctor Who villains

stone. cold. and we love to see it.

Eager to find out what right wing think tank Eric Adams is gunna get set up with

the brain of the median voter needs to be studied for science

Weird how everything sold at Walmart recently seems to be poisonous and/or radioactive. I wonder if there were any massive cuts to regulatory agencies that might explain this phenomena

Being on BlueSky is gunna ruin my whole weekend real quick

I guess having a lower middle class background is pretty decent overall. No generational wealth or anything but hey, at least there's no requirement to visit the island for pedophiles, Pedophile Island. You just gotta go to a pancake breakfast at the VFW or whatever

Listening to Ken Martin talk is like being desiccated

podcaster occupied government

“They can’t get me scared. I will not give them what they want. I will not just leave. I’m going to make it as difficult as possible for these fuckheads.” www.wired.com/story/oral-h...

A new senate report is full of *shocking* details about DOGE activities inside the federal government. Including, unfortunately, the disturbing access that DOGE affiliates had to our SSNs: "One whistleblower noted the possibility that the agency may need to re-issue SSNs to all who possess one."

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Getting old SUCKS I can't eat like a carnival patron anymore It's just oatmeal and rice the rest of my fuckin life

The thing that bothers me most is not a single Democrat coming and just saying the reality - Republicans are lying to you. The economy isn't good, MAHA is bullshit, DOGE is fraud, or there's nothing wrong with or dangerous about trans people. These are just true things that Dems are afraid to say.

Has Harris' book tour improved her image at all? No. No, it has not.

FRAMING MATTERS. FRAMING ALWAYS MATTERS.

The original Star Trek movies are just so fuckin cool man I'm so glad I was brought up on those

*prophet sweating* gettin another revelation that's telling me pacific time

AHAHAAA YA'LL AREN'T GETTING RAPTURED, BYYYYYYYYYEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeee

Imagine in like however many years the saucers finally descend and the aliens come out and ask to meet the nice blue haired lady with the nice music and when they find out Miku isn’t real they leave

Again, Democrats NEED to be set on expanding the court and impeaching these bastards

So if I sown this whole bottle of Tylenol, will I get Super Autism? Or maybe the math autism? Let's see

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.

many of us who specifically covered those victims & worked to center those targeted & harmed by people like Kirk and his allies were pushed out of mainstream media in the past few years. it wasn't always a loud public firing, but the stories of how folks who did this work were treated would shock u.

Recognizing a Palestinian state while actively aiding its destruction is wildly sadistic, man

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal. Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

It would be, honestly, better for this government to be shut down for the next year or so than allow this Congress to do want it wants to do

This one? cleanfollow-bsky.pages.dev

If words have no effect on people then why won't Bill Maher ever shut the fuck up

It continues to astound me how consistently Jon Stewart comes so close to the point and then suddenly veers away into nothingness Like yeah, algorithms and greed are causing social strife! Who is responsible for that!? Idk, all of us as a diffuse idea of citizenry, somehow

the way people have zero reading comprehension astounds me, so let me clarify: Bad shit breeds in the places we ignore/ reduce to being uneventful + history is a flat circle if you ever asked "Why is Ohio like that" there's reasons and they echo out from the beginning of westward expansion.
