Memes from my archive.

Unless you want to play Talking Point Bingo, I see no reason to watch the State of the Union tonight. Be real, what are the odds that Trump says anything novel, let alone interesting, during this address? He makes no distinction between audiences. He even does his campaign points at the UN.

My YouTube home page reads like a fever dream these days and I don't know how I got here.

I just remembered that the whole reason our economy was destabilized by this tariff madness is because MAGA doesn't understand what a trade deficit is.

I hate snow shoveling, but it really can be a good workout, especially since in the winter outdoor exercise is more limited.

When I was younger I was purely concerned with the metaphysical truth of theistic & religious claims, which ended up with me being a strong atheist. Lately however the rest of theological areas of inquiry has sparked my interest in a way past the sociological and historical. Not belief, but interest

My coworker just suggested we "set a trap" for the guy who keeps stealing lunches from the break room fridge. Brother you are Tom and Jerry brained. We are going to HR.

The one good thing about the AI bubble is that when it pops the market will be flooded with an unprecedented number of second-hand GPUs that will crater their prices. We will all be running machines with 256Gb of VRAM for $25.

This kind of shit makes me unironically think we need to bring back the stockades so passerby can pelt assholes like this with tomatoes. We need public shaming back. Not Twitter cancelations where anon randos can ruin people's lives. In person public shaming to show your personal community hates you

We can't afford to have this Muppet as president for 3 more years. It's genuinely difficult to think up ways that a POTUS who was actively trying to sabotage the US could do a better job than Trump is now. It's indistinguishable. It's not even just the ideas, it's the execution. It's unsustainable.

Elon is so dumb it comes around to being genius. He is a catastrophically bad engineer and a great marketer. He singlehandedly ruins the quality of Tesla products, making Tesla more dependent on his marketing to drive up the stock to compete since they can't sell cars. Hence the insane pay packages.

Donald Trump should have been arrested and charged on the night of January 6, 2021. All of this stems directly from that single failure.

I am so glad I don't run a company in America right now. Tariffs going up and down randomly on the whim of an unhinged President, and now having to figure out how to claw back my refund while under the threat of yet more tariffs from POTUS which will be brazenly unconstitutional. What a nightmare.

WE GOT A TREASON BINGO! Seize his assets and redistribute them as Reparations. Charge him with espionage too, because you know we can.

This is actually so fucking true

Guy who wants to draw the line in a horrible place: All I'm saying is where do we draw the line

Money in politics is obviously a huge problem, but I've become convinced it's a minor reason for wealth inequality compared to all of our economic policy being geared towards pushing up asset prices at the expense of inflation and ease of access to debt.

There is a massive risk on attacking Iran, because Afghanistan is getting more unstable by the day. Increased TTP activity in Pakistan, border clashes with Iran and Tajikistan, ISIS-K seeing an uptick in activity... an aimless bombing campaign of Iran could put Central Asian security at risk.

We could be bombing Iran before the end of next week and I don't see anyone talking about it.

The largest US military buildup in the Middle East since 2003 is happening right now. This is either the biggest bluff the US has made this century, or we are about to go to war with Iran.

Thinking about the tens of thousands of Iranians who were murdered in the protests, desperately asking for our help. And we did nothing. It makes me feel physically ill thinking about it. Those poor people.

I finished "Between Two Fires" by Christopher Beuhlman last night and it is the kind of book that makes me want to join a book club. All I wanted to do the second I finished it was talk with someone about it. What a fantastic read.

the communist will never forgive the social democrat for actually achieving anything remotely superior to what came before

The only two explanations I can come up with to explain this: 1. Some abstinence only zealot got to him trying to scare people away from sex or punish them for having it. 2. He lives in the 1980s and still thinks of HIV as the Gay Plague and assumed this was DEI funding.

This feels about the same as that appendix about Newspeak at the end of Literally 1984 I do not recognize this uncanny valley pervert tongue, it is something different and sinister wearing the flayed skin of a language I know

Whoever made that Hims & Hers ad is getting guillotined in the Revolution. What an insane bait and switch.

That was the worst onside kick I've ever seen. He kicked it like a soccer player passing to a teammate.

Between the game and the ads this was the most miserable Superbowl I've ever watched. I assume halftime was good but as a god-fearing All-American Catholic Protestant Christian white boy I was playing Shogun 2 during it in protest of whatever people were mad about this time.

It's so over

I'm still hoping this game ends with a Malcom Bulter interception for a Pats victory. Idk how, but that's what I want.

Kicker Super Bowl MVP would be the funniest outcome here.

We're so fucking back

The Alexa commercial is supposed to make light of someone being paranoid about AI but all of the ways shown are unironically ways that a rogue AI connected to a smart house could in fact kill a person. It's very creepy to watch a tech company make an ad like that, given they know AI misalignment.

The NFL is going to have to unironically start rigging these games going forward if they want to keep viewer retention. I don't look forward to the Superbowl anymore, I just assume it will be underwhelming nowadays. Defense is OP pls nerf. Bring back killer football.

Welp, shame about that turnover. The game was threatening to potentially, maybe, possibly get interesting. Seahawks had to shut that down to keep making this unwatchable.

If Trump doesn't go to prison, even because he's dead before he had the chance, I don't see how the US rebuilds its international alliances and soft power this generation. Otherwise everyone will have to assume that the US will go crazy again every four years.

Take whoever decided that XFinity ad should defile Jurassic Park with that filth and hang them by the neck until dead.

These ads are being hard carried by the music they licensed.

I really liked that prostate screening ad lol.

Leaving this boring-ass football game to do something else but disappointedly shaking my head at the halftime show on my way out so the MAGA chuds think I'm leaving because I'm a Real American™.

I hope that the Pats offense plans on playing football tonight.

I'm getting so stressed out by the Pats getting near misses on these sacks lol.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Having Malcom Butler come out and ring the bell is crazy shade to start this game lmao

In terms of game theory that's pretty much impossible in even the most democratic of systems, let alone in our gerrymandered, electoral mess of a system.

It's so frustrating to have to explain the theoretical concept behind cryptocurrencies to crypto supporters in an argument lol

Nobody but me will care about this but I've been fighting this fucking figure skating bot on Chess.com for days now and finally beat her. Holy shit it was so frustrating. She's been making Tanya Harding jokes the whole time and it was giving me ideas. Glad to finally be done.

I'm starting to think that all these child rapists that claimed to be the party of law and order weren't being totally truthful about that.

It's surreal to me that we have millions of documents worth of evidence that the rulers of this country are pedophilic, rapist, torturing, murdering possible cannibals and the US is just kind of chugging along rather than burning the whole thing down in a hysterical panic. What does it take???
