some people in our society really actually do deserve the death penalty (this is simultaneously my most and least woke opinion)

it's definitely immigrants who are the reason no one under 30 will ever own a home. it's not blackrock, or landlords, or income inequality. what a useless weasel of a human being. i desperately hope hell exists

this is probably the single most kick-ass cover performance i've ever seen and somehow it has less than 30k views. punk-metal rockers covering acdc at a skate park

i could not believe salt n pepa at the rock n roll hall of fame ceremony. the women in this picture are fucking *sixty*

hoarding my remaining pennies like an exceedingly poor dragon

bluesky mod team was NOT raised on "folsom prison blues" confirmed

i have criticized sarah mcbride many times on here for her unwillingness to stand up for trans people in the halls of congress. but it appears she's at her best behind the scenes, and she did great work getting the medicaid transition ban axed from the BBB. full credit where credit is due

thomas jefferson's life was basically like if you tried to play an immersive sim as simultaneously the most upright and most evil character possible on the same save file

i think someone put radioactive waste in the dumpster behind our office

playing "not like us" at the mamdani victory rally is diabolical but eminently fair

i am being told i am no longer allowed to be a political pessimist again

Admiral William Halsey, November 1942, Guadalcanal:

so begins our halloween spooky movie marathon. nw:

the best part of stuff like this is how that coat is wayyy too big for him. the trumpers admire the nazis and want to look like them, but even the nazis had access to tailoring

the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

reports from dodger stadium indicate the descendants of attendees are forming loose tribal societies and constructing primitive shelters near concessions after abandoning their nomadic lifestyle for agriculture

i had plans tonight. there were things i was supposed to do

if the mlb plays the intro to "hot for teacher" one more time between pitches i might jump off the cn tower

mutual aid networks are necessary, but they will never be sufficient. the whole fucking point of instituting governments in the first place is to have a big machine vested with power that can do things for the people that private individuals can't.

i don't think it'll ever stop annoying me how neither cuomo or sliwa are capable of pronouncing zohran momdani's name. you think you'd take 15 minutes on a sunday to nail down the pronunciation of your chief opponent's last name.

I don't know how this flag came to exist I only know that it does and it is good

kid rock's hard-right swing has really excluded him from his proper place as an elder statesman of country rap, probably the largest non-pop musical genre in america today. "cowboy" came out 26 years ago and it's the blueprint for every song mgk, morgan wallen, jelly roll have have ever done.

i regularly go back to this video of the beach boys in middle age, being led by brian wilson in an impromptu acoustic take of "be my baby." they were fighting a lot then, but these guys loved this song so much, and even 20+ years into their career, you can still see it here. youtu.be/qIhiog1ENeU?...

the tigers and the mariners are taking a 14th inning stretch and breaking for granola bars and juice boxes

i've only played sid meier's civilization games maybe three or four times in my life, but each of those times i become hopelessly addicted until im done

god i'm so glad i moved to canada and don't ever have to think about this idiotic shit again

mad respect to how little effort they put into this marketing campaign

nothing more lovely than an evening spent watching the yankees lose

renaissance-era plate with text reading: "everybody looks at me like i'm a dickhead"

bruh

new reaction pic from yesterdays idiot circus

both trump and biden are teetotalers who claim to have never drank alcohol. no wonder this country's going to shit: three terms in a row of presidents who have never once had fun

slept poorly for just a couple nights and my mental health basically went to shit immediately. insane how humans are machines that have to be turned off 8 hours per 24 or we straight up stop functioning

supporting newsom over pritzker for 2028 is one of those shibboleths that tells me everything i need to know about a democratic primary voter

wondering every day how canada has managed to stay normal toward queers and avoid the anti-trans sociopathy that has taken over american and english politics. canada usually follows the same political trends as the US on a 10 year delay though, so fresh hell is surely coming

just got 99th percentile on a big important test. hell yeah lets go my brain

trump's look today was insane. toadlike, surreal. surrounded by gold, wearing a declaration of his own greatness across his forehead, announcing a paramilitary style crackdown on a disfavored city. he's like a campy caricature of a corrupt old testament king. what a time to be alive

california dems' top 3 candidates for 2028 are newsom, buttigieg, and harris round 2. honestly can't pick which of the three i would find the most unappealing

Indigenous people seeing white liberals saying there's no racism and fascism in Canada unlike the US

boss makes a grand, i make a buck. that's why i jork my peanus, in the company truck

i have less than 20 pages left in one of the longer, more difficult novels i've read recently. i've read this author before and he's always got a million threads going all the time in his books, but goddamn i hope he can tie up at least a few of them before this is done. it's been a journey

smocking some freaking wed

They blew up the chicken man in Philly last night? This is the first I'm hearing of it, is his house ok?

having a lot of fun with the hyper-online "i read only fanfic slop" folks getting super defensive in the replies to this. yes, folks, you should read a real book from time to time. put aside the fanfic site. open your libby app.

the new right wing weirdo trend on instagram is glazing lee kuan yew, the founder and so-called "benevolent dictator" of singapore. a country that executes people for weed, ranks near the bottom of global measurements of mental health, and has been ruled by the same political party since 1959
