Bizarre

Now that I'm making a conscious effort to socialize a lot more I remember this meme I made about ten years ago. It's still true now as it is then.

I don’t get why so many of you think our president is in mental decline, all he’s doing is imposing new taxes on you, because he thinks he’s punishing Canada, for being on fire

There is no shame in a love this pure.

PSA on the Victoria Line tube in London. Phillipson and every other GC weirdo needs to take note.

We did it lads

I know, I'm sorry, but trying to smear a Jewish person as antisemitic because she made a comic mocking you and your fav economic theory (mildly, at that) using an obvious joke a person in a minority would make about a famous stereotype is frankly one of the vilest things I've seen on this site.

Things are bad but, for all the hours I sunk into EU IV, I finally got one of the achievements characterized on the Paradox wiki as "Very Hard."

Guy who became a Democrat two weeks ago: here's why the left is hurting Democrats

it’s insanely funny that haus of decline’s content or publicly expressed views haven’t really meaningfully changed in years but within six months of coming out as a trans woman everyone gets mad at her like every three to six months

"Hi, our experience of the economy tells us everything is fucked, broken, and unaffordable, can you help?" "ACKSHULLY YOU'RE *WRONG* the economy is GREAT, the jobs are UP, you're just lazy, now VBNMW for four more years of th-WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING GET BACK HERE AND VOTE LIKE YOU'RE TOLD TO!"

"hell hath no fury like a stancilite lib mildly criticized by a trans woman" is how the saying goes i'm pretty sure

we had nothing to lose but our chains and whips

Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories

holy moly @hausofdecline.bsky.social in @inthesetimes.com ???

Lmao I can't believe this caused a controversy amongst Libsky. That's what I get for having any sort of opinion.

I dislike the people who are against “soft sciences” or “social sciences” in general, but I really do think Economics and Political Science are both actual pseudosciences that are based entirely on vibes and ideology.

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

I've been saying for years that talking about and treating games like tech has absolutely fucked up everything and led to how we got here.

got it. no vegetables for three weeks. i have been training for this

El-Sayed: They’ve taken to calling me dangerous. If you’re a worker who wants our economy to work for you, I’m not dangerous. If you’re AIPAC and want to send our money abroad, you damn well better believe I’m dangerous.

Mike and Jay from RLM about Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha filmmakers and what they've lived through: "These are the kinds of people making movies now, so don't be surprised that they're all horror films."

The election where the Dems really kicked ass -- Obama in 2008 -- was the most left-wing presidential campaign since McGovern. If he had governed as he campaigned we would not be having half of these problems right now.

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day

Worth ruminating on why Harper was rewarded with a cushy job at a billionaire-run outlet while so many smarter people who were right about stuff are unemployed or under employed

A friend of mine and I talked yesterday about MORTAL KOMBAT lore and today I can't stop thinking about how Donald Trump would handle being president during the events leading up to MK 3 when Shao Khan started merging Earthrealm and Outworld.

Like the fact that the AVENGERS movies completely dropped the epic frenemyship of Adam Warlock and Thanos, I'm more annoyed than I should be that there isn't a Dr. Doom solo movie.

Woke 1.0/liberal identity politics are a road to nowhere. Not only does it put style over substance (you’re fine with genocide if a woman is doing it?) but it leaves you open to the most obvious attacks and accusations of hypocrisy (you support a white person over a POC/Muslim?)

I struggle with the idea of the culpability of voters, especially because I do genuinely believe few people were "tricked" into voting for Trump. At the same time, though, I also believe that the idea that voters are to blame and those in power "tried their best" is anti-democratic.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

People are on here being weird about someone expressing the fact they don't like kids again; meanwhile I still think it's weird if you like kids *even if* they're your own.

I keep telling myself I'll do better on the Internet and there I go, "playing" with a nest of KHivers. How on earth do they manage to be less coherent and politically consistent and more spiteful than *MAGA*?

Saw The Odyssey and it's both funny and sad how too-online right-wing chuds have driven themselves so bonkers they can't just watch a movie that says nothing at all about contemporary politics. The people they're mad about were on screen for like 10 minutes total and were all perfectly cast.

‘AI’ is theft—of artistic and written production, of power, of our individual and collective capacities.

I think a major difference in opinion I have with people on here, and one that's made me be uglier to them than maybe I should (especially with certain lawyer brains here), is I do believe political principles, whether liberalism or socialism, should be simply tools and not ends in of themselves.

I can't help but personally resent that the Harry Potter franchise is so toxic because I did want to write a HP story set in the United States where demons is a direct allegory for gun control with the US being seen as weird because laws regulating demon summoning are really loose.

Mamdani is turning out to be a great example of what a politician can achieve when they don't view their entire electorate with haughty derision

I also saw BACKROOMS last night. I really did enjoy it; if you liked Kane Parsons' "Backrooms" series on YouTube, you'd like the movie too. While he did have more elaborate character backstories and themes, as one would expect, I especially liked that he avoided "Hollywoodifying" the concept.

Say what you want about right wing intellectuals, but they're always dumb as fuck

He says on the Internet.

At an anti-America-themed drag show and I can't wait to find out why they gave this out to the audience.

Hi all! I could really use some help, with my car repossessed and my food stamps canceled within the last couple weeks and no job-hunting progress despite continual applications. Anything you can send would be a huge help and greatly appreciated! 💕 venmo.com/u/claymation... cash.app/$claymationary
