if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

The more ways a user can use your software, the more ways you need to figure out how to keep users from killing themselves with it. AI companies want their software to be useful for everything from automating email replies to psychotherapy to designing submarines. It's a cookbook for disaster.

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

A lot of this country’s problems boil down to straight white men who see themselves as some sort of default “normal” but any variation on that as “an identity” that is “political”

MAGA voted for the Book of Revelations, and we’re getting it.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight

I was fine with the protests against the king until they threw the tea into the ocean.

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

Young people SHOULD “have it easier” than you did. I’m sorry you got the strap up hill both ways and paid your debts with pounds of flesh, but the reason we work for progress is to make growing up and growing old gentler, easier, kinder, freer. Struggle isn’t necessary in a healthy society.

us government went from telling miners “learn to code” to telling coders “learn to mine” in less than ten years

A big part of the problem is stupid people have been convinced by rich people that AI is God, when AI is closer to an automatic dog food dispenser.

Every time some elected democrat sucks off Reagan, I think about Duane.

my dog when I ask what’s in his mouth

ppl getting angry at this but he's talking alliances and he's 100% right- you cannot trust a country where every 4 yrs the foreign policy does a complete 180 & tears up treaties and reneges on deals and withholds payments because some sheep farmers in Wisconsin think too many black women have jobs

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

Part of thriving under collapse has to be to mourn the life that you thought you'd be able to live. That will take a while. Most of us are not there yet.

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

Thing about gov workers is we are beat over the head with learning how to critically read documents, get everything in writing, trust no one, we get yelled at by the public all the time, ethics trainings constantly, like...? You are gonna have to try harder.

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

every single one of these guys is an incel loser who thought that being rich would make them popular and well-liked and when it didn't happen they lost their minds even further

A nation that believes that things only have a right to exist if they are profitable and not because they provide a societal good is a nation on the brink of disaster.

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't

Evergreen

I really think doomers should look to Ireland, which was a desperately poor wholly owned franchise of the Catholic Church with some of the most repressive laws in Western Europe until very recently, as proof that decline isn’t inevitable or irreversible

It's all tied together and don't let them trick you into thinking it's for safety

leak the fucking report, you all have 473 reporters on speed dial, stop playing by rules nobody cares about and embarrass these people by any means necessary

if you’re gonna be a billionaire, you have got to shut the fuck up. you’re already on thin ice from hoarding all the money, you really just do have to zip your fucking lips and be horribly rich in silence. the second you open your mouth we all start thinking about cutting your head off

Men in America aren’t poisoned nearly enough. And look at how they’re acting!!! At the very least, start putting ex-lax in their favorite stew every now and then. Fear must be reintroduced. ALSO! You haven’t lived until you’ve sat across from a man watching him happily eat poisoned stew.

Complaining about childless adults is fundamentally reactionary loser behavior.

pinned posts? this was the one on my old account on twitter. it made all the right people v mad.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #147,508!

Let’s bring some of this energy into the 21st century.

This is still the funniest Biden moment on record

You can tell when a parent at least somewhat regrets having children because they absolutely lose their shit at the idea that a childfree person can be happier than they are. They desperately need to believe the only alternative to being an unhappy parent is being an even unhappier non-parent.

it’s time to burn the incense, it’s time to slay the sheep, it’s time to wake the muppets, from a thousand years of sleep. it’s time to raze existence, it’s time to banish light, it’s time to call the void in, on the muppet show tonight.

every time

Goodbye little man, I will love you forever. George (too many nicknames to list), 2010-2023.

jury duty is a wild concept. whenever the government wants, they can just be like “call off work bestie, we need you to solve a murder 🥰 here’s fifteen dollars.”

This is not originally mine, but it is me.

George has arrived on bluesky! @darthbluesky.bsky.social
