My apologies to the Reductress, I wasn’t familiar with your game.

Quiet piggy.

[tapping earpiece] i'm hearing reports that elections matter

America 250

Everybody thinks when he's rich he'll be a different kind of rich person from the rich people he sees around him; later on he finds out there's only one kind of rich person, and he's it. —Thornton Wilder, The Matchmaker

This is what the spiral of extremism does. It’s the “only” answer. The only answer that makes the manic drive of the politicos act stupid. Like…others.

This is so well done. 👌

To be a tiny spec in the universe has its difficulties, but being able to witness a part of it feels pretty damn good.

Fuck nihilism. The universe is so beautiful and without meaning it is still beautiful.

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

He’s gonna start it isn’t he?

The Schrodinger’s Cat of the internet. Is it sad or is it proof of the benefit of listening to scientists? If it’s sad; then it’s a senseless tragedy. If it’s about listening; then it’s a senseless tragedy. Cassandra probably felt the same way.

The galling discarding of inclusion because it was hard and allowing the worst people to use the levers of government to hurt the most vulnerable is a crime I will not forget. I will find it very hard to forgive it too.

What do Alaska, Iowa, South Dakota, and Wyoming have in common? They are all solidly Red States. And they don’t require voter ID… It’s not about ID; it’s about intimidation and finding excuses to claim fraud. #RadioFreeAmerica

1️⃣ He didn't say that. 2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him. 3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling. 4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it. 5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented. 6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.

Hair cut and pull day? Gay superpowers restored!

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

I can’t wait to hear how teaching what this is in 30 years will be “divisive” and “not supporting America”. Like the 1619 Project. Accurately describing history is considered “liberal”.

They didn’t love WWII because we were back to back world champs. They love that bullies like them were so efficient at killing the unwanted.

Donald Trump’s America

Good

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

We may not be a part of it but the work goes on!!!

Happy pride to me and to you and to the bisexual bats and the gay giraffes and the lesbian albatrosses, and the trans fish and everybody else. Happy pride.

This is the most succinct description of americas most pressing concern

I hope all ten of Jill Stein supporters are happy they elected “anyone but Kamala” 🤣

This is courage. Putting your money where your mouth is.

He lied. The media sanitized the lies. Americans always hated Trump. They were told he wouldn’t do exactly what he’s doing. And now they are reminded of why they hated him.

"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares." "The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares." "Republicans aren't going to let us have elections, so who cares." I'm blocking these people on sight now. Doomerist defeatism isn't helping anyone here. Log off and touch grass.

If you want to know if the opposition party is capable of having a productive conversation. This food fight of a conversation shows that they are in fact not capable and seem to relish that.

Every time.

mental health break? you bet it did
