Excuse me. I’m a Washed-up Asshole.

The hideous irony in all this is how oil is just the pretext for each administration member’s personal power-fantasy for Venezuela. Miller is post-modern colony. Rubio is destroying Cuba. Trump is just showing up other leaders. Noem is world-police SWAT. No one really cares about the fucking oil.

The paradox of reading (and writing) is that you go away from the world in order to come back to it closer than you were before. (It’s the same way that returning from a trip temporarily makes home more visible.) All good books provide this experience in some measure. Probably most good art.

Never watched a Twilight movie but Stewart has become one of the few actors who I will watch in anything so color me interested.

They are all Barky.

Go to sleep, Barky.

Shhhhhhhhhjh, you’ll fell better when you’re quiet.

I'm over here laughing that he thinks senators are a glee pep club of cheerleaders.

Removing Trump from office according to Barky 1. Get mad 2. Government does something? 3. ??? 4. Remove Trump Why didn't we think of this?

Barky, how can I not be smug when you’re this fucking stupid?

I think today’s “Adventures with Youth” exchange with ol’ Barky kinda reinforces how the @demsocialists.bsky.social sure as shit ain’t sending the best.

Barky. We’ve established you need some quiet time. Politics are for the grown-ups. Take a juice and cracker and shut the fuck up.

So Barky, let’s group up for a second: You come into my mentions saying Schumer isn’t doing “his job” I ask you to tell me what “his job” is 25 minutes and multiple skeets later we have the below post. Hey Barky, go back to the Gundam and the C.S. Lewis in Dad’s rec room.

Hey Barky. That’s not the answer to my question. Again. Where does the impeachment process start? Hint: It rhymes with mouse.

Oh Barky. Barky, Barky Barky. What is the fucking process to impeach a fucking President in the fucking United States? You said that impeachment was “Schumer’s job” so what the fuck is the process? Let’s start with “which chamber does impeachment originate in”?

What. Is. The. Process. For. Impeachment. Barky.

What. Is. The. Process. For. Impeachment. Barky.

Barky here demands Schumer ”do his job” and (after three dodge) *finally* tries to explain what a “politician’s”’job is.

Okay genius how does he do it on his own. With a bomb? You need angry words from Chuck Fucking Schumer to get out of bed in the morning. You rely on an octogenarian to do work for you…..Barky?

I can assure you that the dumbfucks whining about this clip are not the ones that voted for Harris and did what they could to encourage those around them to do the same.

Right, like, the purpose of legislators is to legislate, getting themselves thrown into prison camps would negatively impact this. If people feel we're out of legal options, they clearly don't actually want legislators, they can take it up with their local edgelords.

Don’t give @50501movement.bsky.social any ideas. In all seriousness this looks really bad.

We need a rude starter pack starring @adamsessler.bsky.social 💪

Always the laziest most indulgent and privileged fucks in the room. That’s why so many intersect with gaming/video game press. It lives off of passive indolence.

Rather than coalition building, THIS is the tool of the left. Still not beating the charges that they do not want power, they only want to able to criticize power. They'll shame you for failing the purity test for their imaginary utopia, but won't lift a finger to try to build it.

And to be clear: there's probably a good argument that I deserve the rude label. There's maybe a good argument that my other account deserved a time out (a leftist account kept poking at me and I was in a bad mood). But there is no argument that applies to me which somehow doesn't to these accts

Seriously @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app maybe prove there’s still humans employed among you all and act on this bullshit.

"The Democrats are like if a hamburger ate the moon and then republicans adopted a woodchuck in a tree but eating a fish from an ocean of lava and purple crayon. Tomato! Tomato! Do not attempt to criticize my analogy because it's great and makes a lot of sense." - Bluesky this weekend.

Thread.

Getting 7k likes for saying “NO MORE STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS! I’m going to back… a strongly worded letter we’ve already sent twice!!!” really is the dominant Bluesky political culture in a nutshell lmao

If you want a concrete example of how sharply Australian political discourse (and here the general term is appropriate, as I'm talking about trends) is different re antisemitism from the rest of the anglosphere, especially North America - search the term "Jewish lobby" on this site. ...

What’s the DSA membership numbers in this basket-case country?

Also, can we acknowledge there’s something broken about analogizing politicians to exterminators? Or is that just because I’m a Jew?

This why bitching about democrats acknowledging that Maduro’s a douchebag is so obnoxious. It’s this petty bullshit (he didn’t do enough with my student debt!) that required dem house members to write the letters in the first place.

I know my psychologist friends hate it but Death Drive is only satisfying explanation for everything right now. There’s too many stupid, bored people who, upon realizing that they have little to offer just want to ruin it all in an tantrum of relevance.

It’s a new year and I already hate everybody.

One thing that’s surprised me since learning about the Venezuelan Rambo TikTok Adventure for Understimulated White People is the degree of physiological shame I feel. I’ve suffered under countless dumb US military bullshit in my life but this one just hits different. It’s uniquely awful.

Yeah, my hopes for 2028 are getting slimmer after today. Jesus Fucking Christ the number of children who neither understand civics, statistics or reason but indulge political Pavlovian triggers like trained marmots on Benzedrine and think they’re smarter for it will kill us all.

Like I said earlier today, I believe that Trump believes in this plan. That doesnt mean much of anyone else does

Strikes me as a little rude there……Chip.

Look at this Zio. His entire post history is dripping with disdain for Arabs and any decent person who loathes the imperialist project known as the U.S. government. Just absolute filth. Judgement day can’t come soon enough for Nazi scum.

Typical Jew-hating sack of shit. Chip.

I’ve read this three times and I still can’t make a lick of fucking sense out of it other than “I am young, poorly informed and determined to have attention paid”

As Internet goobers incapable of handling self-reflection parse Democrat statements to fuel their Instagram outrage Uncle Adam is quietly trying to do the real work.

It’s so absurd that if I was to protest like I want to I’d be shoulder-to-shoulder with the very cosplaying Wobblies that got us into this mess in the first place.

Hey kids look, an Australian.

…so now they have a problem with kidnapping?

*donald trump hosts an cannibal orgy on the White House lawn, during which he and JD Vance dismember and eat a member of their own administration* "socialists told you this would happen. this is exactly how capitalists always are and this fits perfectly into the neoliberal agenda"

But remember kids the geniuses at the DSA found USAID to be “imperialist” Fucking morons, every one.

Come this time Monday, nobody who hasn't fully cooked their brain on social media is going to remember or care about the precise words Democrats used to object to Donald Trump's lawless invasion and decapitation of Venezuela. It's just not gonna matter, so I posit it can't possibly matter now.
