I have had Darude - Sandstorm obnoxiously stuck in my head since last night

To all my friends in the USA: if you don't have an exit plan yet, get one figured out. Doesn't matter if you're part of the in-group - history tells us that this group will grow ever smaller

We did it! We solved racism!

US foreign policy is like “if you kill civilians we will bomb you and kill civilians” *kills own civilians*

The Democratic Party continues to not meet this moment.

The AI advertising voices have way too much vocal fry and also get off my lawn

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

me reheating my nachos in the microwave at 2:30am

Americans watching their country turn into shit: "Why did Putin do this????????"

In a fish and chip shop and "white house down" (2013) is playing. I can't believe we made movies like this. I've never heard of it and for the first time in my life I'm considering making a feature length drunken reaction video.

"Though the rallies have been largely peaceful, with chants of “Freedom” and “Death to the Dictator,” some government buildings have been vandalized" Time, reporting on Iran protests. This is not how Time reports on peaceful protests in their backyard.

US Americans: "we must not become like Russia or China" The Literal Rest Of The Entire World: "we must not become like the USA" It's been like this as longer than I can remember. It's weird seeing it on the timeline though. They don't realise they were always a cautionary tale. A laughing stock.

Get in, loser. We're not going to the Adelaide Writer's Festival

Get in losers, we're going somewhere Palantir can't see and reading Marx

Been fighting AI monsters at work. It's fucking tedious. It cannot be stopped from making shit up *and attributing it to the company*. It's going to get people sued for sure. (I can't avoid this because the whole project is a connector API for the AI so I need to use it)

Call them by their name. They're not ICE, which sounds pretty badass, especially if you're an elder millennial like me who remembers Vanilla Ice. They're the brown shirts. Call them brown shirts.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

[Dem politicians watching the news as Trump nukes several countries at once] well how is this going to solve the affordability crisis

I don't know what to say to people that think this is all about those files. We all know who he is and that hasn't stopped him. Having it spelled out is not something he really fears because he is removing the structure of accountability. This is just more blood for the blood gods of capital.

This sounds silly, but honestly the worst people in the world keep on trying until they get their awful way so we might as well do the same. Greed and cruelty will never give up.

"Can't somebody with power (not me, I have no power, I am a gently dispersed cloud of fart mist) DO SOMETHING????"

My ancient amp is busted and I'm upsetti

Sometimes people don't all suck

I didn't get paid before Christmas. I demand a royal commission.

"The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: Now is the time of monsters." Fuck that just hits doesn't it?

It's not important whether God exists or not. People need to live like She does, and that eternal reward or punishment await after this life is over. (This is a trump subskeet)

Slim Dusty has risen from the dead, demanding beer and a royal commission into the Bondi attack

finally, we're living through precedented times

Every goddamn world "leader" saying the same shit: We no likely Maduro. Please be rule of law. These cowards don't wanna be next. Hopefully one or more are plotting their own coups

Now more than ever climate people should be talking about solar panels and wind turbines as tools of liberation. Break the hydrocarbon chain.

I can't believe calling him Drumpf hasn't worked yet

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

we MUST consult congress when we do illegal war!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if he'd actually been jailed for j6 way back in 2021 then none of this would have happened? Lol no, capitalists are running down the clock. They know their shit doesn't work and they're scooping up what's left and leaving us to clean up the mess. If it wasn't trump it'd be some other fuckwit

A royal commission into the American empire.

The commentary on here is breaking my brain. "It's just like Russia! It's just like China! Putin is behind this!" NO! THE USA IS THE BAD GUY. THE USA WAS ALWAYS THE BAD GUY! GROW UP!

The rich will destroy the world before they give up even some of their wealth. Remember that. They can't be reasoned with. A better world is possible, as they say in the classics.

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at. Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

Uno reverse. China, if you're listening, *please* uno reverse.

Chris Minns wondering if anyone will think it is too early to ban protests against the US

Acts of war eh? I really think FIFA should rescind their inaugural peace prize

i am fucking sick of being lectured by the mediocre on the importance of meritocracy

It's funny watching Labour types saying that they'd be fine if only they were a completely different party with different policies and different values but called Labour

Billionaires throwing toddler tantrums and leaving New York is so funny to me. Like... They're the exact opposite of indispensible. Do they really think they'll be missed?

Re-watching stranger things S2. The writing is really inconsistent. The character stuff is really good. The plot holes are gaping.

The Little Engine That Fucks

Happy new year! Enjoy the only remaining non-retail holiday that western civilization allows (booze marketing notwithstanding)! It's just about revelling in yet another year with those you love. You hardly have to buy anything. It's more Christmas than Christmas.

Compiling lists by country of people who downvoted me on Reddit and sending it to the federal police in said countries because I'm normal and on the right side of history

The floofy hair struggle is real
