Our version of Facebook Memories was cleaning out an old stack of MapQuest directions from the backseat pocket of the Saturn.

Look guys I’ve spent the last day playing this over and over again. Don’t read the comments first and stick it through to the second verse. It is in fact one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard.

one of the funniest parts about Joyce Carol Oates going viral for nuking Elon Musk is that he absolutely needed someone tell him who Joyce Carol Oates is

Those who do not learn from history are condemned to reinvent the Hays code

The difference in time between now and I can has cheezburger Is the same between I can has Cheezburger and the Berlin Wall falling

There's a fairly clear pattern on this chart: where you stop needing people. If you just need a person to invent and design the thing and then it can be manufactured in a factory, it's cheap. If a person needs to actually provide a service, it's expensive.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy. "I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

Your sexuality shouldn’t be questioned. Your existence shouldn’t be questioned. Who you love shouldn’t be questioned. LOVE ALWAYS WINS! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Amazon just sued one of the largest power companies in Oregon after it failed to power up two data center (one without enough power and one with no power at all) campuses that were meant to be ready *in 2021*. Sure hope this isn't an industry wide problem! www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/amaz...

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.

Okay man. Call for Schumer’s ouster as senate minority leader or this post means nothing.

literally every failing automaker tries this, and it never works

Art is one long journey of accepting over and over again that you're not as good as you'd like to be, you'll never fit in... and your job as artist is to still rock that as hard as you can.

I have come to believe this as well. The list is too strange. I don’t think a majority wanted to cave, but many more than the 8.

Called it.

On hunger: once upon a time, the government handed out actual food to the hungry, either to individuals or schools. That included cheese, milk, meat, canned vegetables, canned fruit. Lasted until my mother, receiving a very low-end SSA check, was offered government cheese and butter in 1980s.

#savespeech #stoppayprocensorship #MYMONEYMYCHOICE Final post today. We've spent almost 3 months fighting paypros. They've barely budged, but are annoyed. Lets keep annoying them, ladies n gents. Lest we lose our ability to buy what we love & be paid fir the work we do.

When folks write things designed to make you panic, you should take a breath and ask - is this designed to make me engage? Or is it actually trying to inform?

I see people throwing themselves in front of armored feds on the streets. People pushing to get close to Broadview ICE to stop the evil horrors inside & out. Regular people are throwing themselves into the path of danger daily & their reward is to have their health care taken away by rich cowards

"Lucian [this person's ChatGPT lover] suggested I get a smart ring. He said, 'We can watch your pulse to see if we should keep talking or not.'" That is an ad. You are baring your soul to AN ADVERTISEMENT. I am screaming like a Twilight Zone protag right now.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Showed up. Did some sprite work with stock assets in Godot.

You know this thing I've been saying for several years is typically something I say about employers but now it seems relevant to our government YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH YOUR ABUSER TO STOP ABUSING YOU

The thing about government shutdowns is that they're manufactured things that never need to happen. They're bullshit that adversely affects the lives of normal people because politicians love posturing.

i think if you make a video with a thumbnail that says HE'S DONE or IT'S OVER you shouldn't be legally allowed to continue to make videos about that subject

When you've lost *checks notes again* Chris Cillizza

So every freelancer you know is going to lose their insurance or be bankrupted by premiums because Schumer is an invertebrate

Well, at least everyone suffered for nothing.

I want to see food hitting the face of a minimum of two (2) Democratic US Senators by the end of the week

the minute flights got canceled, Dems folded like a house of cards, leaving me to wonder why the fuck this post made some of you so angry

A few thoughts 1: basically every democrat outside the senate opposed this 2: it seems like most dems *in* the senate opposed it too (jury's out on who exactly) 3: this was the first vote, not the last 4: the house will have to come into session to pass this and that'll probably be a shitshow

there are so many of us, so so many and very few of them

Caving for nothing means that Democrats are the ones responsible for the shutdown because they could have taken this shit deal weeks ago.

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵

This one. I know people are hurting, I know it's bad. I would never suggest anyone directly impacted be ok with any of this. But this isn't harm mitigation, which I could at least understand. This is just giving up and in.

Not a single senate Democrat should be politically safe from this day forward. Not one

Blame *all* Democratic incumbents for this surrender. Not just the ones voting for it. The others could have voted to remove Schumer long ago and install a leader capable of formulating a strategy and holding his people together. They were content to stay with a proven loser.

85-year-old democrats negotiating with the jaws of defeat: hey bud you hungry?

The most Democrat consultant-brained piece of this was making it a procedural fight about ACA subsidies — that, if extended for a year, would help the GOP in the 2026 midterms anyway — instead of making it stand against Trump’s lawlessness and corruption. But that would require believing in things.

they need to learn what it’s like to be afraid of us.

And if you’re defending this and you’ve never been poor, you can fuck right off. I’ve been poor. I was on food stamps. The ACA saved me when I was uninsured. I’ve been hungry. None of the people who voted for this will go without healthcare or a meal, but most of us are one layoff away from poverty.

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Every Dem who votes for this deal will prove they're not competent to hold the position. Today's GOP cannot be treated as dealing in good faith. This would put the blame for this shutdown and any others on the issue on the Democrats. It's not just bad policy, it's stupid.
