when the riff stops and the vocalist goes "yeah" or "uh" or "ough" that's a good song

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

theyre going to destroy every country that ever dared to fight their way out from under the thumb of the united states and all you mealy mouthed fucking losers are gonna stare at your shoes saying “I don’t like how they went about it but these guys were no angels”

death to fascism and freedom to the people

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

we’re at war with the world but at least you can say faggot again i guess

The United States war machine is the embodiment of evil—truly sinful in a biblical sense. A corrupt money machine that runs on blood and fear.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

God I am so sick of living in the heart of an unbearably evil empire. My thoughts are with the people of Venezuela

We will look back upon this moment in time in shame. It’s not an election that allowed this to happen. It’s an entire multi-systemic failure to simply stop a group of wealthy monsters from playing Risk with real casualties. Or at least some us will look back in shame. Some of us are beyond saving.

the revelation that our entire ruling class is a cabal of pedophiles directly informs why such people would operate in such a way that murdering who knows how many people in Venezuela is a great way to do politics. These are not separate issues. Read the fuckin files!

The average conservative answering their door after placing a DoorDash order

2026 media thread starts now!

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

ME: if a vampire went into space, would a nearby sun damage him? Does that count as sunlight? Is it a proximity thing? Because suns are stars but they're not harmed by starlight. Is it only our sun? Like is there Superman logic going on? THERAPIST: I thought you wanted to do cbt ME: no just this

Looking forward to trying this guy out in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves

I love how right wingers think any allusion to progressive politics in media is "making it political" but never re: right-wing shit bc that doesn't even register on their radar, it just feels like baseline reality Which SHOULD be a big clue that they're not actually politically marginalized

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

i listened to this random Irish resistance podcast that had Hasan Piker on and he said Bari Weiss tried to get him to do a "capitalism vs. socialism" town hall where he had to both acknowledge the premise that capitalism is a force for good, and he could not bring up Israel. He declined

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

The US attack on a Venezuelan boat is grotesque, plainly illegal, and not in any way unprecedented. Kissinger's directive in Vietnam was "anything that flies on anything that moves." Madeline Albright said it was "worth it" when asked about 500,000 Iraqi children who were killed by US sanctions.

Part of working with other artists of different mediums is learning how to interpret them. That's a skill of itself, and a good artist doesn't need much to get the idea. I share this again, the "sketch" of the art I wanted for my last album I gave to the artist, and what they did with it.

Unfortunately, the TGA success COE33 has further fueled anti-parry discourse.

[Right wing 40k fans]: [crying and stomping around while their shit-laden diapers sag to the ground]: "THE IMPERIUM ARE THE GOOD GUYS, THEY FIGHT DEMONS!!!" Yeah so does every faction that doesn't worship Chaos. Give yer balls a tug.

I see why Newsom wants to be identified with Reagan, because just like Reagan, he’s abandoning LGBTQ people. Also he’s a neoliberal enabler of capitalist domination and control.

Nearing the end of Gundam IBO. I've really enjoyed it and I think it's got a lot going on thematically wrt things like hierarchy, identity, dehumanization, etc, so it bums me out that almost all discourse I see about it is just shallow aesthetic observations and juvenile powerscaling prattle

A friend on Facebook has just reminded me of the time I did the maths and worked out that Santa's life is a living hell.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge is so cool. I wish golf wasn't real.

profoundly damning of american discourse that these epstein photos are causing people to say “omg he had sex toys and shibari equipment ew” and not “the systemic abuse of women and girls is a banal fact of elite american life”

Just Wild Beat Hyperpulse Subscription [Slowly opens eyes after absorbing 666,666 sacrificed souls to attain indomitable cosmic power]: "...now I'm Prune Tracy..."

Warbringer are so cool. I wish weed was real.

imo this is very much because our culture has decided that Humanities is For Girls and Thus Pathetically Easy Bullshit whereas STEM is For Cool Boys With Huge Dicks

[Glenn Danzig voice]: MOTHerrr... will you make french onion SOUP toNIGHT?

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

me: what would the detrimental effects of AI be like if given to companies in the past brain: hanna-barbera creates so many scooby-doo clones in such a short period of time it causes riots me: hmm.

Freddy vs Jason type movie but it's Austin Butler Elvis vs Timmy C Bob Dylan send tweet

I wish I could rip my skin off and let a bed of rice suck me dry

The idea the replacing a combatants in war with robots/drones would "change war so no one has to die" is downstream from or at least related to the way people think about war as if it were a sport.

Solidarity with every trans person struggling to keep their heads in the game today. Along with everything else, this is absolutely a war against our collective and individual mental and emotional health - against our very sense of self. It's expected to feel the blow. But we stay fighting.

It's wild how anti-Chinese propaganda leaks into even science news about Tiangong station. I saw some U.S. scientists were expressing "grave concerns" about the astronauts on Tiangong waiting an extra week to leave. We stranded some astronauts for half a year I don't think we get to say shit!

too much of the economy now is not built around solving a problem or meeting a need
