“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

jfc. he was so god damn stupid man🫩

*me watching the news* yeah I should probably start practicing mandarin again 😑

Don’t get me wrong, I genuinely think it’s awesome how many young people I’ve been seeing posting about how because streaming services have gotten so completely out of hand, they’re ditching them and switching back to analog, but I sort of wish somebody would remind them libraries exist

You don’t even need chat gpt- you can just ask me whatever bullshit you want to know and I can give you as many dumb wrong answers as you need.

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

what even is this speech? we're a full hour and forty five minutes in and he's just kind of rambling about his favorite news stories?

uh oh.

hang on, did trump just say all the hostages have been returned?

hOw Do YoU nOt StAnD?!? 😀🔫

Barron Trump has yet to disprove my working theory that he's a version of the type of child depicted in the dunwitch horror

am I crazy or is he slurring like a lot more than usual tonight?

love to see trump using victims (children victims) as props 😑

he just mentioned how he's "solved eight wars" again, so I guess somebody just made a bunch of money on kalshi

i really just can't with him talking about how "democrats wanted to raise taxes to HURT the people" when he's had his ridiculous tariffs for the last 18 months and slashed just about every government welfare program

getting awarded a medal from trump during the state of the union the year the country wholly fell unabashedly into fascism has to be a lot to process

uh oh, him saying "Los Angeles is going to be 'SAFE' " sounds so ominous

apparently the USA women's hockey team was also invited, but they declined 😎

maybe some of the worst pr hockey has ever gotten as a sport

he's chosen to open up his speech by reassuring everyone that jobs are in fact UP because we've tripled down on oil and natural gas 😑

this is actually fascinating- I genuinely do enjoy getting to listen to him ramble like this uninterrupted because he effectively just makes up a completely fictional version of how things are going that have almost no relation to reality.

it's so messed up when you realize that if a bomb went off in that room right now the world's pedophiles would nearly be extinct

I know Trump said this was going to be a long one, so that either means he's trolling and its going to be over in like 15 minutes or (more realistically) he's going to try and kill Chuck Schumer by making him stay up like 3 hours past his bed time

Justice Roberts showing up in his judicial robes is like when I show up for the burger king christmas party wearing the crown

#OscarsSoWhite 😣

okay, I saw all the cool kids said they're too busy being cool to watch the state of the union tonight, and to them all I have to say is ...yeah, that sounds about right. personally I'm *really* not cool though, so I'm just probably going to watch it anyway

Okay, all of us over the age of 30 all need to make a pact to never publicly let the children know we think this is cool. Because the minute they find out the olds support this is the minute it becomes cringe and they all start listening to Clavicular and eating tide pods again or whatever

this but unironically. I hate cars, but I love convenience stores. they’re really convenient. I just wish we could just take the gas part out of gas stations, and just have that many stores all dispersed equally around, selling things people actually might need. (like a snack!)

I’m going grey, and I’m okay with it for the most part, except when I get to the part of my day where I look up from what I’m doing and see Sam Seder, and it’s just straight up not fair how much better he is at aging gracefully than I am ☹️

just saw the state of the union is tonight, and apparently the dow has now dipped back below 50,000. I mean you just know the big guy's gotta be devastated 😢

I follow a lot of really outspoken political people on here, and I gotta tell you- a lot of you folks post like there's never going to come a day it might end up being read back to you in a court room. Like I admire the spirit, but people can see this and the internet is forever my guy 😅

the situation with Trump's tariffs turned out maybe one of the worst ways it possibly could have. It irreversibly raised prices and inflation, and with the refund companies are going to see, it effectively worked as a one time transfer of $150B from the poor to the rich

see this is why I can never fully throw my support behind prison abolition, because some people really do need to be in jail

at this point posting on twitter and not being a nazi is like if you were just really into the off topic subforum on stormfront

economy so good they had to stop publishing the job numbers about it 😑

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

I just watched the Last Week Tonight segment about twitter, and I'm kind of scared because I was expecting it to shed new light on the subject, but it was all stuff I already knew. And not even any of the really bad stuff. I say it made me scared bc that means most people don't know any of that 😒

I just don’t think I’m ever going to really be able to understand New England

just saw the new rankings came out, so I’m sure I don’t even have to tell you what that means

revising how I describe this website to people who’ve never heard of it: “it’s where middle aged people all get together to post bad jokes and make vague non-actionable threats about the government”

okay, I don't live anywhere near there, but this snow storm on the east coast is effecting me personally because now I can't come on here and complain about how we got like an inch of snow because half the people I follow got like a foot and a half ☹️

so there’s basically no chance we aren’t going to war with Iran, is there? 😓

*another* presidential assassination attempt? wtf? didn’t he know the Dow is over 50,000?! 😤

would it kill you to say please?

It’s so crazy marc andreessen doesn’t wear more hats

I always used to roll my eyes at all the linux evangelists I see on here, but I was thinking about it, and I genuinely think the world might be a better place if more people were using an open source platform as the default. like they’re not being snobby- they’re trying to kill Microsoft and Apple

getting really sick of my friends telling me the cursed blade is warping my mind. it's LITERALLY fine. i can stop fucking using it whenever i want. i think they're just jealous. like they know it'd corrupt them but i'm clearly stronger than its influence. in fact, i'm stronger than all of them...

watching the Tucker Carlson/Mike Huckabee interview:

love to be woken up at 4am to my downstairs neighbor literally *screaming* Wonder Wall of all things. at four in the fucking morning. 😑

okay, I genuinely did not realize how many of you people were actually Gen X. And also how many “urges” you all seem to have as a generation.
