Unintentionally hilarious.

Quick question - My #facebook feed is back - to - back posts from Ashley Moody. I do not follow or like Ashley Moody. I only get the occasional post from @davidjolly.bsky.social. And often enough, those are "Sponsored" fundraising. How the actual fuck is this even legal? #FLSen

Just wild. I'll never not cringe at casual AI boosters. Just the worst.

Neat! Something I'm actually an expert on! The Canvas attack was a long time coming, and is a horrific and beautiful end result to #enshittification. Allow me to explain. #CanvasDown #Instructure #HackAttack

I don't know how I'm going to recover from this one. Just brutal.

Weird. Tacky. Petty. Vaguely racist. Pathetically jealous? A bunch of scumbag, lunatic trolls all the way down. #GOP

Jamahl Mosely was, without a doubt, one of the coaches of the @orlandomagicbr.bsky.social.

I hate basketball.

Brilliant thread. 10/10.

It's all in good fun to joke that #idiocracy was a documentary. But it's fucking terrifying to imagine that #theboys will be just as prophetic.

I feel like there wasn't enough discussion of the fact that Obama had a nuclear deal with #Iran. And without anything resembling a coherent critique of that deal, #Trump ended the deal. There was an Iran deal. It was right there. Where the fuck did it go?

I really wish I had the patience to write longer things. This place is too short. Substack is too long. Facebook is just right, but impossibly evil. We need to start the Internet over again. open.substack.com/pub/jbyrdmar...

Do they really think that or has a group of powerful, wealthy elites conspired over decades to get them to hate and fear their neighbors while ignoring the oligarchy that's been taking democracy's place?

What would it take to get voters to realize that a message of "don't vote for those guys because they're violent" is a staggering insult to their intelligence?

I'm sorry to report that it worked. After reading about the "violent left" all day, I can't support Medicare for all, climate action, and higher marginal tax rates. Nevermind! #ballroom #violentleft #maga

I dig this kind of energy roght now.

The face of a guy who's trying to close the community center but can't because some rascally kids keep pranking his ass.

Kon Knueppel is an upsetting name. It does not taste good. It makes my tummy sad. I would like very much not to hear it again. Thank you. #orlando #orlandomagic #nbaplayoffs

Unironically my ideology (apart from a very pedantic philosophy of science point).

Honestly, with all of the options out there, it's nice to have at least one straightforward, hard and fast litmus test for what not to support.

Reminder to next dem government: take all of SpaceX’s federal contracts and give the money back to NASA.

Are we fucking calling out conservatives for celebrating the #artemis 2 launch or not? Evil bastards *still* want to defund #NASA and turn space over to billionaires. They shouldn't get to do that shit.

Whelp. I'm officially at the "which Princess Donut T-shirt defines me as a person" stage of fandom. #dungeoncrawlercarl

Maybe I'm stating the obvious. But Democrats should absolutely attend the #SOTU tonight. And they absolutely should walk out when their consciences dictate. And then tell the press exactly WHY they walked out. Be human beings. Don't be a hive mind. Vote - and act - as your moral code demands.

I suppose if you've already rationalized your support for a dementia - addled pedophile, rationalizing cops murdering people in the street is super fucking easy. #fuckice

I will continue saying it until I completely lose my mind - They don't know that they're the BAD GUYS. And that's a criminally under - analyzed part of our stupid, stupid discourse.

Democrats want to fund police departments so that their jobs are easier and safer. Republicans want to go outside of the legal system to open concentration camps because they think law enforcement doesn't know how to do their jobs. I feel like the politics of this are super easy, you guys.

#cork gets it.

Local news CAN Be a force for good!

"How many kids have to die before we do something about this?!" Is fun, because depending on the issue, the answer is "one" or "infinite". There's NO middle answer.

These unbelievable assholes are really from a different century, aren't they?

Here's the thing. How many clicks did the Biden press conferences get? How much ad space did they sell around the promise of a pending Biden press conference?

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies. Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare. It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

He's not President anymore. No one in his immediate orbit is going to be President. That being said, if all this bullshit means that the political operatives who pushed him to run AT ALL in 2024 lose their careers, then let's just ruin their careers forever really quickly, okay, @democrats.org?

Root for injuries.

Fuck this guy so, so hard. They don't actually have to do this. Biden will NOT be an issue in the 2026 midterms or the 2028 election (if it happens). This is a clear opportunity for the GOP to just be decent. Be human. And they're just... NOT doing that. It's disgusting.

I am so, so fucking tired of reading this take today. Why the actual hell does every Democrat have to respond when every other Democrat farts? There is exactly zero pressure on Republicans to respond to any of the lunacy that a lot of folks in their camp believe -

We gotta keep tormenting them with gay race communism even harder now. Dang.

An interesting point inspired by maybe the stupidest thing I read today - Democrats have to explain to people WHY the existence of billionaires is bad. Something more inspiring than #billionaires @democrats.org #bad

It occurs to me that Democrats say "bring manufacturing home!" as an appeal for a return to the time for when one factory job (plus a union!) could support an entire family. Republicans say it because they're deranged xenophobes. Not the same. Often portrayed as the same.

I want to do a cooking show where stone - cold sober me does all the prep, and stoner me has to figure out what TF to do with all... that.

Answer - it's all about the hierarchy. If you think of the world as "us" and "them" and "winners" and "losers", no amount of moral deprivation and ethical compromise is too much to maintain your place in the hierarchy.

Roughly 7% of the population caring about "inflation" as a purely partisan cudgel absolutely checks out. Deeply unserious people.

While this is... nice, it's a symptom of a larger problem - it doesn't address the civilian complaint about student loan forgiveness at all. "If you take out a loan, you pay it back" Is stupid, but legion among regular people when confronted with this issue.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when they came up with "You gotta ricotta" as an ad slogan. Just pure, beautiful genius.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

You're overreacting? But the thing is this. If essays like this ARE an overreaction - and I hope it is - things are going to be okay. No harm, no foul. So really, we need a LOT more people overreacting as that's going to be the only thing that will stop every word of this from coming true.

More optimistically, I wonder if the French nobility of the late 18th century saw the peasants getting crankier by the day and just thought "This is fine. Everything is fine.".

If only there was an opposition party in Florida that could capitalize on this brazen corruption that happens to be a shining example of Republican values.
