The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

The Pedo Wars were a series of armed conflicts fought by the United States in the early 21st century as a means to distract from the fact that their president was a pedo.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

‘I dare you to laugh at Operation Epic Fury again’

this is going to be a load bearing post today

Is it too much to ask that one - ONE! - person in the Trump administration be sufficiently across the detail of the Cold War to know how close we came to global annihilation by mistake? Unsurprisingly but depressingly, the answer is yes.

never look at your phone when you get up to take a leak. someone might have started an idiot war

This is depressingly accurate. And it’s so completely mad that you sound mad if you try to explain it.

Why does the entire industry look like they had a logo drawing contest and the only rule was “eat this acid and draw a butthole”?

If Americans can’t figure out why we’re starting a war with Iran, then frankly they don’t deserve to know. by Karoline Leavitt

No notes:

i woke up from a weird dream at 4:30am. i know better than to look at my phone when i’m trying to go back to sleep. i looked anyway & then spent the last three hours scrolling through news of the war that started while i was sleeping.

Now now, Korea was a Police Action, as my drunk dad would mutter under his breath while M*A*S*H was on before going back to drinking, because Police Actions are hell:

You can just say things.

Rejected Chuck Norris movie title says what?:

that top DOD officials spent the entire day feuding with a tech company and the boy scouts before launching a war in the middle of the night should probably inform your opinion about how well planned and executed this will be

Trump : we stand with the brave iranian people fighting oppression People : so iranians in the us with asylum claims will b- Trump : deported, yes

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Getting real fucking stupid everywhere at the same time

The thing about hitting 'refresh' before bed is you'll find out Israel has attacked Iran if Israel has attacked Iran if that sort of thing keeps you up.

It’s good, it’s really funny, check it out. www.sassquach.com/journal/2020...

True story: you can go to the search function and type in the words "pay rent" and find dozens of people facing eviction posting each hour, for whom a small collection of strangers tossing $25 in the hat can mean the difference between a warm bed and the street, and reader, it feels so good to do.

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

I wish the Dems would accept than you are never going to win the Republican core vote, and that you *do not need to*.

I have done this on multiple occasions. lost it all on nfts

U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops files a SCOTUS amicus against Trump's bid to end birthright citizenship They call Trump's order "immoral" and urge the justices to "protect God-given human dignity" by finding it unconstitutional 👀

I was my cheapest, shittiest self when I was making the most money of my life- 44k. I'm assuming that translates universally:

Watching The Lost Bus and motherfucking Greengrass has had my heart in my throat and wet eyes BEFORE THEY'RE ON THE F'N BUS fuck this guy also more please.

I'm glad I got to work in Hollywood when it still existed.

It took Putin and Orban years to do what they’re doing.

You think Tapper sucks now. Just wait until he’s trying to save his job at new Fox.

Those fuckers finally got Hollywood

Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

"Critics warn?" So there's a debate about whether someone having to pay $31K out of pocket before a penny of insurance coverage kicks in makes things unaffordable? Jesus Christ. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/h...

the license criminalization scheme in Kansas...stripping immigrants of their legal status... all of this shows, and is meant to show, that the legal rights of disfavored groups are conditional and can be rescinded at will such discriminatory chaos is incompatible with a real inclusive democracy

Has it ever occurred to these geniuses that the customer experience becomes less pleasant when the workers are afraid to say the wrong thing because a computer might stop allowing them to have money?

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Just adding to the 2028 Dem platform: We also want to pull the non-profit status of every Trump-endorsing anti-LGBT church, going back retroactively 10 years (they've all been endorsing candidates since at least 2016), thereby instantly bankrupting them with an enormous tax bill. 🙏

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.
