The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

ma'am I understand that it takes a village to raise a child but this is not a village, it is a casino

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.

there are signs everywhere saying "pre-check only," there is an agent screaming "pre-check only, pre-check only" but every single time there's someone in front of me who is surprised, confounded, and infuriated that it's "pre-check only"

The dream of technology is a planet devoid of life where a single iPad asks what minor league baseball team Michael Jordan played for during his retirement and an artificial intelligence responds “splorps”

remember when the internet was pretty much just the GI Joe PSA cartoons

Big deal, nobody knows how to read anymore. Is the world worse off? It is? Well if that were true I'd have read about it somewhere

Ranking of predators in that first movie 1) raptors 2) Dr Ian Malcolm 3) T Rex

This is a person who truly understands the Simpsons. This is the precise correct take and all others are incorrect.

Deodorant doesn't "roll" on, it slides on, and I'm sick of these lies

Every episode of TOS was about racial discrimination, every ep of next gen was about Riker encouraging bisexual orgies, every episode of DS9 was about revolutionary politics, and every episode of Voyager was about an adult catman hosting a morning cooking show, so, alright, not all of them but most

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

Hi, Democrats. Every single one of you: run on universal health care and LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE from now until it’s a reality and I bet you win.

Old music is cool and all, but I'm pretty stoked to be releasing some new music pretty soon. Last time Progger put a record out was 2018, so I'd say we're past due. This one is gonna be pretty damn cool, if I do say so myself... #jazz #funk #rock youtu.be/kWG5SMYEZD0?...

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians. (Published Oct. 2024)

incredible that the oldest scam in the book — “look away from the greed and poor leadership that destroy your chance to make a career, it is the [blanks] that stole your job!” — still works

This version of Dracula would have had tons of Tesla stock

Some cool people told me I should post here more. And I think they're right. And Progger has news! We recorded album number five a couple weeks ago and it was a damn joy. Editing these tracks presently, mixing coming soon, and there will be tons of video too.

We need some cool shit in these depressing times. Well, I think "Do It 1992" by Kurt Rosenwinkel and Scott Kinsey might be the most underrated thing in the world right now. That and science. youtu.be/rex4vNpScPM?...

Drum-shredding over a tricky riff really is a nice way to work off some steam. And, like, yeah, there's some steam to work off lately. youtu.be/nJI3YYgjvKM

What we value in CIVILIZATION: Agriculture, Architecture, the Arts, Transportation, Communication, Health, Wealth, Security. All pivot on enlightened investments in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, & Mathematics. "STEAM". Without them, we descend into the Dark Ages.

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

I’m bad about posting our videos. But I’d imagine BSky must have some people who need some gratuitous guitar shredding in 5/4 over fun chords! Right? youtu.be/WXL3jixnL-M

This, ultimately, is what people need to be talking about in American politics. Everything else is either a symptom or a distraction. Guys like this are the reason right-wing extremism has taken power in the “land of the free.” Talk about them.

One of the funniest jokes in TV history big RIP

What I wouldn’t give for one of them dinner berries, they look slappin

At NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Manhattan, they specialize in planetary climates — especially Earth's. The White House decided not to renew their building lease — where they’ve been for 64 years. NASA’s total funding is 0.3% of the Federal Budget. Just saying.
