middle-aged kel hours

I don’t want to laugh at a small business but also VERY funny

I grew up in the attic of a dilapidated house where my fingers froze in the Winter and I regularly woke up with heat stroke in the Summer. My abusive parent punished me for doing art from a young age and regularly destroyed it. Yet here I am. So again. Fuck Gen AI and you're weak if you use it.

I have achieved second job. Hope this doesn't kill me.

This is like the ultimate form of that thing I keep talking about where financial institutions seem to think poor people will just start magically producing money if you put them in enough debt.

sometimes i think about that thing a disco elysium dev said in response to someone asking why choosing fascist options lowers your morale. that being a fascist is miserable, since it requires you to believe that you are being dominated by the weak and unworthy in everything you do.

In today's installment of Old Lady Yells At Clouds:

🎨 Share your OC boundaries 🖌️ Is Fanart okay? Yeah baby 💞 Is shipping okay? Case by case. We can talk. 🖋️ Is Fanfiction ok? Weird but sure I guess ♊️ Can other’s draw their OC’s with yours? Absolutely 🙅‍♀️ NSFW? See fanfiction 🤖 AI? I will kill you

To add to this because I saw at least one comment: "But if he's the nominee we vote for him anyway right?" I'm not saying I won't vote for him because I'm lying to you. I am telling you the truth about that. I am telling you this so that you have enough time to PICK A DIFFERENT NOMINEE.

Can't now find it but there's a classic old tweet which said something like "Every time we're on the verge of achieving class consciousness in America a CIA sleeper agent activates and, their eyes glowing red, they just tweet out "John Brown was a white saviour"" and I think about it often.

Yep

This is the "find out" after Fucking Around with the world's oldest taboo

Okay, you little punks. Read the instructions, and get to it! XD

You should have healthcare, you should have housing, you should have a universal basic income that sustains your ability to live in the world, and everyone who keeps telling you these things are unreasonable is either listed in a big stack of documents together or is actively protecting them.

This has been an extremely challenging mini to design, but I think he’ll look really good on the table!

My girl!

I love this narrative of "they demanded a pony" from the people who said in so many words that if we didn't smile and sing a song about how much we loved voting for Harris, that was the same as not voting for her.

we didn't finish denazification. we didn't finish desegregation. we didn't finish reconstruction. every opportunity for transformative change was deliberately sabotaged by american leaders who knew their wealth would not survive a world freed from eugenics, white supremacy, and war profiteering.

I got fooled by someone who is famous for being a conman until it was too late. Here’s why that’s actually smarter than seeing it coming:

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

this is a small thing but it would be nice to feel good about paying taxes. i would like to write a check to the government and think about kids going to school and freshly paved roads not all the death squads my income helps fund.

This random online comment from 2018 remains one of the last half-century's most important works of political commentary. crookedtimber.org/2018/03/21/l...

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Abolish ICE. Prosecute everyone who was a member.

hm...

Most of the moral messaging in children's television programming when I was a kid was utterly uncontroversial at the time, and would be attacked as woke indoctrination today.

Lil' comic about hope and longing 💗

"You're not ready for how much the rest of the world hates Americans" I live here man I'm extremely used to the concept of hating Americans

live your life such that millions of people don’t drop everything they’re doing to collectively hope that It Happened at the slimmest of signs

computer, what is the difference between "guy who runs one city" and "opposition leader to fascist federal administration?" computer??? computer can you hear me??????????

mamdani I'm begging you, make your own party, we'll all be behind you

Read this entire thread. Holy shit.

✨ Conservatives like to pretend their politics are complex because a lot of them still want to be thought of as good people and not amoral monsters ✨

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

you know Silicon Valley has lost the juice because it hasn’t occurred to any of them that they could use robot dogs to re-create Terry Pratchett’s autonomous luggage that both carries your stuff and brutalizes your enemies

I'm trying to apply for a job and they have me giving my info to a chatbot. Why is this happening? Who wants this? I hate this.

I have a knack for expressiveness and an urge to push poses. I wanna feel em move. And feel.

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.

I may be a useless, burned out fuckup with at least two disorders but I'll go to my grave proud to never touch the lying plagiarism machine that makes boring garbage

"We want to make Star Trek real" says man who vocally hates everything Star Trek stands for

They should invent a version of sleep where waking up feels good because the current style isn't working for me

Q: will this help? A: yes. celebrating the misfortune of bad people is one of the ways society discourages antisocial behavior Q: is it healthy? A: also yes. one needs to pretend that the unaccountable can at least be laid low by chance

things off the top of my head that i can think of that conservatives have called tyranny - health care subsidies - seeing pronouns in an email - being suspended from a social media platform - pride month - baking a cake for a same sex wedding - legal rulings against donald trump - EV benchmarks

Democrats, whimpering: i-I-I don’t think we can get rid of ICE Republican, groping a child: Say goodbye to the Department of Education!
