this would fix me

There is no "existential crisis" in postal delivery. There is a manufactured crisis. Governments could fully fund postal services if they want to, but there is a consensus among the major parties that public services don't matter. Not funding mail is an active policy choice.

since a lot of ppl are discussing the ICE camp shooter's apparent lack of ideology, i would like to posit that online irony blackpill is absolutely an ideology with coherent tenets - the reason it appears incoherent is because this an ideology primarily defined by faithlessness, negative space

I have no idea who shot at the ICE facility or why, & hard to trust this FBI director. Murder is always inexcusable. Now, the idea that people are mad at ICE because of ‘Democrats’ rhetoric’ & not because of daily videos of masked ICE agents assaulting people, including citizens, is for the birds.

Trump says carbon footprints are something made up by people with evil intentions to lead us down a path to destruction. Which is actually a true statement! Just not the way he thinks it is. thred.com/change/how-t...

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

I need you to understand I have not designed a shitpost character this fast in my life

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

Nice.

Israel is goint to try to murder Greta Thunberg (again). If they succeed, you will see absolutely none of the grief that was poured out for Charlie Kirk, and when her death is inevitably mocked by zionists, bluesky moderaters will not give a shit. Only some political assassinations matter, to them.

My political beliefs

we have to try

seeing another rash of voter blaming and i wonder how people reconcile this with all the times dem senators - in deep blue states, even - that people voted for and put into office decided to give unanimous consent to GOP shit so they could go on vacation. they voted 'correctly', and yet, get nothing

Nobody* thinks that the US situation (or the US itself, even) will last forever. Yes, "this too shall pass" Stop creating strawmen. The issue is that it's going to last TOO LONG. The issue is that for TOO MANY, it will outlast them. Stop pretending that people's fears aren't valid and reasonable.

John Cusack in Grosse Pointe Blank is actually the villain of the piece because he is trying to scab against Dan Aykroyd's hitman union

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Let's all to take a deep breath & understand that we have reached the phase in fascism where if they want to declare you a criminal, you are a criminal. You can not magically avoid it, or do exactly the right thing to stay off the list. Fascism must always have enemies, and one day you will be one.

i barely touched one and it moaned

Need to wake up early tomorrow so I of course decided to stay up until 3 AM watching Blue Velvet instead of sleeping, as one does when one is a responsible adult.

Capitalism has turned Words into Commodities. The consequences are articulated perfectly by Jean Baudrillard. Previously, only the Noble and Ecclesiastic could comModify; then the Bourgeoisie. Now every Zoomer communicates in heresies without orthodoxy. Commodity words can have no meaning but death.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

You need to understand this: rightwingers don’t talk about the threat of transgender mass shooters because they’re wrong about who does most of the shooting in this country. They know, they don’t care.

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened

Liberals are doing the right’s job for it. By lionizing Charlie Kirk and refusing to acknowledge his real political project, they’re giving power to the right’s completely predictable effort to use his death to forward their goal of an authoritarian, fascist state.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

If I was someone who loved Kirk, I'd be less mad at his sworn enemies for laughing and more mad at his allies and friends being the exactly as performatively mad in exactly the same way about this as they were about the cracker barrel logo briefly changing.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

it's funny that his name is steve job. if these iphones keep selling like hotcakes he's not even gonna need a job

I was not put on this Earth to work, I was put on this Earth to backtrack to previous areas with new movement abilities.

What’s Ken Bone up to these days, do you think?

Love how blasé people who will probably never be asked for their papers can be about how disruptive, terrifying, and demoralizing a “papers, please” existence is and will be. “Oh if you’re legal and can prove it you’ll be fine” FFS were you born yesterday?

When I write my friend a birthday note it’s usually stuff like “hey man happy birthday hope you make it an awesome one” and not an unsolicited rape confession but I guess that’s why I’m not one of the worlds most powerful and influential people.
