The literal voice of god according to the geniuses in Silicon Valley but with a T-shirt for Joe's wings. "But WE won't enshittify OUR platform" Respectfully, get fucked Sam. And everyone high on their own supply thinking they're changing history with this? You're salesman for reverse mortgages

Not one fucking dime. I will not subsidize the engine of my own destruction.

This wont be news to anyone remotely progressive but can we just marvel for a moment how dead ass, rocker on the porch, common sense folk wisdom this is and yet people want to call it radical? Harry? I would suggest it’s whatever we say it is and they should thank us for not oiling the guillotines

Topeka Kansas Easily visible with the naked eye but the pictures are simply amazing

So we’re focused on the 8 who caved. This is correct But I also want to be critical of the ones who havent. Are they really on our side or are they hiding behind the votes of the turncoats? Where is the person of conscience who will go on CNN and call every one of these cowards out to the curb? 1/

We just spent 4 years watching a feckless DOJ get thwarted by a Rent-A-Judge in Palm Beach County Florida, Geriatric Democratic Leadership torpedo an incumbent President, and our neighbors reelect a Rapist Felon to the Presidency. We just spent the last ~ year as he’s broken laws every day…1/

My family will breathe a sigh of relief and begin paying overdue bills that have sat unpaid for a second month now. Other families will lose their healthcare and some will lose loved ones. It will often be a slow degradation of health that will result in otherwise preventable early death. 1/

Grifter cope is so pathetic…. People are trying to spin the 50 year mortgage idea like this, “Sure it only saves you $350 a month, BUT WHAT IF….you put that into Bitcoin every month?!?!” 1/

Counterpoint: every homebuyer in America should inundate Pulte listings with offers at 50cents on the dollar. No down, they eat all expenses. Then you and 3 buddies go in on an older 6-plex for 15yr and rent the other two. Cost plus 10 max to any speculator that's selling. 1/

Post you from a different era

I have already scavenged my miscellaneous parts in search of a suitable Miles O’Brien. #TrueHero

It’s starting already. In a week we’ll be inundated w/images of Snake Pliskin’s NYC and it will supplant Mogadishu (er…Chicago) as the nation’s crime capital Will it be racist? Yes Will it be Xenophobic? Also yes Will a bodega robbery in Queens somehow tie to Gaza and anti-semetism? You bet.

I really did try. Ross Douthat’s latest (Did Liberal Feminism Ruin the Workplace?) is written up in roundtable form with two guests and it’s a preposterous hodgepodge of passive voice, junk science, and flatly unsubstantiated premises on which castles of pure air are built. 1/

Hope you all are tucked in in your hometown today

You'd think we'd all have a list 80 mothers long. This says something unattractive about us

I’m willing to submit to our new AI Overlords if they can train the things to write and test software that works the first time-ish. I just logged on to a site, but the ‘submit’ button isnt a button. It’s a colorful box. The TEXT inside the box is what you have to click. 1/

the next president should ask for small donations from regular people to restore the White House. No big buckets of cash, no conflicts of interest. Then hire Local contractors under the direction of historians and architects Find ways to leverage it all to fund schools, scholarships, and charities

Dont listen to what they say, watch what they do. To wit: Not only did they give up, but they gave up yesterday before the results because they knew what was about to happen AND what it meant. Speaker Johnson is full of 💩 and he knows it #BaghdadBob

Amazing

THIS! I’ve always found the “money in politics” thing to be tea, but weak. Especially in an era where a moron can spit on a microphone and be worth millions a month later, social media, good messaging, and a sincere platform that resonates can move mountains. Traditional gatekeepers have no power

Keep the backlash going forever and ever until it buries every last one of them.

Tonight Schumer, Jeffries, and Martin are going to be hitting the copium as hard as MAGA.

Kinda wish that guy we’re not allowed to celebrate his death had held on another day so we could say the results killed him. Cant hurt to think of the election booth as a voodoo doll right?

Because "I voted for my party's nominee" is a bridge too far? NYrs voted for this guy. smh

A classic. I’ll take mine in a XL, en Espanol.

The article gets it right…the more despotic employers become, and the more public callings for massive layoffs as a “corrective stick” to remind employees who the boss is…the less ANYONE is willing to take any of it seriously. I wonder who they’re trying to convince though.

They can’t live in one though and should govern themselves accordingly. Eventually accountability comes for everyone.

Proof you can be a straight up badass boss and still retain your humanity.

At what point does the FDA start checking papers at the doors?

Time to start widespread use of tech to disrupt this. Light scattering makeup, infra-red emitters on hats, “flash bang” LEDs on clothing triggered by scans, micro code embedded in clothing to corrupt the devices. You know the tech they have is some protype-in-production hacked together bullshit.

Judge Holden. Hands down.

I'd accept the existence of an afterlife if only so Bill could look down and smile.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT? Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money. It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

What did we think a generation of war would do to our society? Ferdinand and Isabella sent their unemployed armies to the new world as much to secure their own positions as to enrich their kingdom lest the leaders meddle and conspire at home.

I’m sorry…you dont build tension across multiple perspectives for two hours and not resolve it. I said profane things at volume when I realized they just ….stopped. I’m the guy my friend group asks about TV and movies and I’m a hard “no”. Spend the two hours cleaning your closet out.

We should have had election monitors all along. They should wear period uniforms from the 1700’s and behave ritually and ceremonially. Like the Swiss Guard or the King’s Guard in England. A little fun, some pomp and circumstance, and you do NOT fuck with them.

I’m feeling a bit nihilist at the moment and want to share something about what it all means and why we’re here. Two analogies: First, when we take a kernel of popcorn and heat it in oil it explosively transforms into something larger, softer, and recognizable as Popcorn. 1/

Another opportunity to repeat my central thesis of the tinderbox that is America When all peaceful avenues to justice are blocked, what recourse is left to the citizen? The First Amendment covers more than just speech. Peaceful Assembly? Petitioning the Government for a redress of grievances? 1/

Some of us are old enough to remember the decades of negotiation it took to achieve the relative stability and deescalation we’ve enjoyed. Back then we were working with other people interested in seeing their kids and grandkids survive while protecting their countries. 1/

What radicalized you?

Yeah but will it mean they'll last more than 5 years without a chip failing or the plastic bullshit falling apart and the whole thing goes to the landfill?

Hate when performative liberal accounts quietly amass 50k followers w/starter packs or whatever, then 6 months in they start pumping out low effort posts that spam your timeline. I just unfollowed one that posts headlines, the name of the source, no link, no content. 25 different stories 1/

Counterpoint: your local kick ass brew links you to your community as much as any history, cuisine, or sports franchise. #Boulevard #Tank7 #KansasCity

I know we all feel powerless living in the onslaught to our senses that is Donald Trump We look outward and wish we could light truckloads of manure on fire or shut things down with a general strike like other citizens But look at the Canadians folding like lunch sacks the MINUTE Trump gets pissy

I swear to god I have one more pencil neck IT person answer “I can’t say until I look at it” or “it depends” to the simplest of digital questions I’m going to lose my shit. We got test files from clients that have ONE record in them. That’s not enough obviously (who TF ever thought it was?) 1/

Anyone on iOS 26 with strong opinions for or against? I chose to stay up to date in the 18.x world but the number things that just quit working properly is giving me hives. Thoughts?

I’ve read elsewhere, from people who grew up w/violent narcissists, the destruction of the East Wing feel like when dad came home drunk and threw all of your toys away because he tripped on one. It might have been no impact to the structure, but he threw a fit and demolished it after No Kings Day.

In my next interview I’m going to answer the “why are you changing jobs” question with, “I need more money to fund my watch habit.” Citizen Chandler BU2055-16e, picked up for a SONG from a liquidator (about $100)

Someday they’ll just dispense with the pretense. Does anyone really believe Meta does anything which is motivated by user experience at this point? We’re at the Terminal phase of Enshittification.
