What a dreadful day. Who ordered this much rain. ☔️

Millions of people work hard every day to afford the basics and occasionally enjoy life…living paycheck to paycheck. Meanwhile the President can just manifest a meme coin out of thin air and he’s $5 Billion dollars richer lol. Like wtf? This is the new decentralized financial system? Gimme a break.

How is it fair that the President can launch his own cryptocurrency and make a billion dollars from scamming people? I’d like someone to explain to me how that’s fair? How that passes for normal economic activity and not blatant corruption. Defies logic.

Emperor Justinian's invasion of his own country hastened the fall of the Roman Empire. But after a thousand years of darkness and poverty Italy saw a Renaissance. Could the same thing happen here?

Kind of sucks finding out that David Harbour from Stranger Things fame is a dirt bag. Cheating on Lilly Allen. No respect and/or loyalty anymore. I can see why a lot of people give up on relationships. It’s not worth the effort. It’s always the ugly partner too going elsewhere for validation.

the problem with being a genuine outsider candidate is that, absent having a meaningful life in some sort of public service, all anyone has to go on to trust that you are who you say you are and do what you’ll say you do is your word, which doesn’t feel good enough

Dude is blowing up boats in foreign waters without due process, taking away food from 42 million Americans this weekend, randomly arresting American citizens, and tore down 1/3 of the White House without any push back or oversight. But tell me again how he's "just trolling" about a third term.

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

Who needs Halloween when America is an actual horror-show?

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

The same Stephen Miller who said he’s ignoring the protesters in DC because they’re “stupid white hippies” who “need to go home and take a nap because they’re all over 90 years old”

Basically confirms once again that Crypto is a right wing grift. And not apolitical or neutral at all. “Binance facilitated $2 billion purchase of World Liberty’s stablecoin and built its technology; clemency for Changpeng Zhao surprised some in administration”

While great Art is often associated with pretty aesthetics. Powerful art is something else entirely. It makes you think and holds up a mirror to society. What we value, prioritize, cuts through the noise. It lodges itself in your mind forever. The awareness something is deeply wrong with the world.

I hope Paul Thomas Anderson wins best picture Oscar for One Battle After Another. He deserves it. I’ve never seen a film capture the cultural zeitgeist more accurately. Prophetic art. Incredible insight into contemporary America’s decline.

Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two guys? Lol, but seriously how uncanny are these two. Next we’re going to find out the Christmas Adventurers Club is real. Art imitating life.

I like when the real information in a story comes in the final paragraph. Ohio Democrats threatened a referendum to block any new map for '26. That backed Republicans off to this minor tweak. Hardball, it works!

something weird I've noticed over the past couple of years: college students used to be adults, but are now children. it's strange. I'm even seeing grad students, who used to be adults, now be children. whereas people who used to be old, like postdocs, are now normal? maybe TikTok is to blame.

A lot of economic pundits keep believing the idea 10% of consumers are carrying the entire economy. I don’t think that’s really true. As the labor market deteriorates it will drag down the economy with it. We just haven’t seen the inflection point yet but it’s building momentum.

Golden Age economy lol…all hail the King “US consumer confidence fell in October for a third straight month on darkening views about the future, given the one-two punch of a slowing economy and weakening labor market.”

You don’t need a degree in economics to see Tariffs & bad public policy have damaged the labor market (over a million jobs this year so far). Things will probably get way worse because there is no certainty to the economy. Now AI fears. Dark months ahead.

Yeah, agree. Pretty obvious Trump is going to bring down crypto with him, whenever reality swings back. It’s over. “Common sense tells us there are two things in our economy that are going to blow up in our faces sooner or later: artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency.”

It’s pretty obvious the crypto simps as a community are in financial distress. Can’t even compete with grandpa’s SP500. Going to be a great opportunity to short soon when the Ponzi scheme collapses. Especially if we get a recession. Lot of this pretend internet money is going to Zero.

Dogecoin having a rough October lol…are the crypto bros still excited about Trump’s presidency? Down-only toilet scams. Rugged. Wen 0.0000? 😂

Trump's Truth Social is launching a crypto-based gambling service to compete with Polymarket. This comes as Trump is deregulating crypto and letting it reach its tentacles into financial institutions — enriching himself at the public's expense. https://youtu.be/gpCxV-cRY4o?si=EdTStYPNG0BeN5dj

no amount of electoral success will matter if there are no consequences for the members of the current administration

The countries and companies that bribed this Administration will be remembered. Someday, a new day will dawn, and it must be remembered that they bet against that dawn ever returning.

The Jan. 6 insurrectionists bloodied and bludgeoned police officers. Calling them “a mob of rioters” is just stating a fact — but at Trump’s DOJ, that’ll get you fired. Another reminder that we're not headed towards authoritarianism. We're already there.

There is not a single day that goes by that i don't think about the vast majority of Americans reading below a sixth grade level

I just don’t believe in the kumbaya theory of politics. Cause and effect. When you have a corrupt person and entire political party politicizing everything; science, education, health, law, economy, you name it…that’s going to create an equal reactionary force if the pendulum swings. Unavoidable.

I just think people are being incredibly naive that you can exit a cycle of political retribution without a major capitulation towards restorative justice. Somebody has to take the fall or it will never end. That was the lesson of Nixon. If there isn’t a symbolic event they’ll never be any healing.

I mean, what corrupt person ever rides off into the sunset? Other the Nixon, who was pardoned. Does any rational person think Trump will leave power after doing all this crazy stuff. The next occupant would be under pressure to go after prior corruption. I don’t see how the country ever moves on.

I lived during the GW Bush years. At no point did I ever think yeah, this guy is going to buck tradition and never leave office. Didn’t agree with him but he wasn’t insane. Trump on the other hand is not sane. He’s doing things that would lead any rational person to believe he’s never leaving power.

The scariest part of Trump never leaving power is really the large amount of naive people who think it’s not plausible. Meanwhile…he’s sending the military into US cities, building himself a ballroom at the WH, doing crypto scams to get wealthier, if that isn’t fortification of power what is?

This article sums up thoughts exactly. “With his every word and deed, Trump has given Americans reason to believe that he will seek a third term, in defiance of the Constitution. It seems abundantly clear that he will hold on to the office at any cost, including America’s ruin.”

This is next level authoritarianism.👇 "Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

Early humans were online an hour, maybe two hours, per day

Listening to the World Series on AM radio just like Abraham Lincoln

I'm only 34 and I remember a time when nazism and racism and sexism and homophobia was a bad thing that nobody wanted to be connected to

NEW: Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston) called the indictment of Kat Abughazaleh and five others an "alarming abuse of power." Full statement below:

Here's my basic question: Why aren't the Americans holding a No Kings rally every single weekend?

Struggling to imagine the chutzpah it takes to say that someone "doesn't understand New York culture" because they're an immigrant.

You should care about Jamaica and Sudan even if you don't know anyone there and the news isn't covering it. The anti-Blackness embedded in folks' lack of empathy is gross.

Excited for 2028 when some state SoS kicks Trump off the ballot, Federal district and appellate judges uphold it and then SCOTUS issues an unsigned 6-3 shadow docket rulling staying the lower court ruling, allowing Trump to stay on the ballot and schedules arguments for the case for February 2029.

So I've been paying $1200 a month this year for an ACA plan. 2026 preview site from the regime just went up. This is what the exact same plan will cost me per month in 2026. I'm beside myself.

Why put it all out there in defense of Platner? Why fight with people over a guy with such bad personal judgment who you heard about for the first time 6 weeks ago?

There isn’t a hell hot enough for the people who torture and abuse animals for research experiments. Should be banned nationally. Unthinkable evil.

Missing the days when, if a scary masked man approached us on the street, WE pepper sprayed HIM, not the other way around.
