More to the point, all labor is being told they are unwanted and unnecessary, and that the quality of work has never mattered. This is the feminization of all work. Being negged constantly into doubting your value, while feeling like a sucker for being taken advantage of by unscrupulous superiors.

Let’s be more like South Korea and impeach, convict and jail our president too

"Things exist and have meaning in the material world"

I just need it to hit a level where the median voter learns something

Need a national "you're cool, you're cool, fuck you, you're cool" campaign

A lot of online leftism is just looking for people you can hate from a position of moral smugness, but no one wants to acknowledge it

somewhat funni that sometimes it feels like socialists want to be capitalists, capitalists want to be feudalists, and feudalists want to be monarchists

I see how people end up libertarians now. You read the news, “Government requests eleven trillion dollars to kill imaginary Moon Asians“ and like… I pay taxes with real adult money from my real adult job.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

right-wingers have their violently stupid ideas, of course, but it’s somehow even more insulting when they want to create discourse on the humanities they are fighting every day to defund. fuck off and go vibe code a racist gambling app you absolute piece of shit

“They charged him with criminal charges, like he’s some common criminal! How dare they?! Did they not check the color of his skin?!”

"They want Republican policies that hurt Black people but they also want Democratic policies to save them from the consequences of Republican policies that hurt Black people." I hate it here. These people are fucking depraved.

Honestly still under discussed element of the whole gerontocracy debate is the like totally rampant elder abuse

oblivious force meets incompetent object

We ended child poverty and had a huge public health initiative where the US army gave everybody lifesaving medicine and your boss wasn’t allowed to force you to come in for no reason, and then a bunch of child molesters decided that those things were making the great unwashed too uppity

basically the whole thing is the result of a conspiracy involving less than 10 bilious transphobes, most of them at The Atlantic or the NYT bsky.app/profile/kiss...

1. Number of stories about Trump buying and selling hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks in the first three months of 2026: CBS: 0 CNN: 0 Fox News: 0 NPR: 0 PBS: 0 Politico: 0 Semafor: 0 Business Insider: 0

Who thinks the GOP is plotting their next insurrection?

honestly I think journalists just liked Twitter because they got to shoot the shit all day and call it work and get paid for it and then slide into dms or quote pull entire threads slap them on a webpage, describe it as reporting and collect a cheque for it and go back to wallowing in the mentions

Bill Clinton used to have to walk across the street to use a private telephone to make fundraising calls so as not to violate the Hatch Act by using public resources for partisan purposes. Trump makes campaign commercials from behind the Resolute desk.

congress should think about sending a strongly worded letter to whoever controls the federal purse strings.

This honestly bugs me a bunch re: Odyssey critique. A lot of the Iliad and the Odyssey is Goofy Fun. People turn into pigs! Nestor gives long speeches about how he doesn't give long speeches! Trying to treat them with reverence is itself a desecration.

imo white collar crime in general deserves extremely harsh punishment. other crime, no, we know that stuff doesn't work anyway, but getting popped for public corruption (which this is) or financial crime SHOULD ruin your life.

Alien vs. Predator (2026)

Lmao I hope all the big pubs are paying attention. Fucking dopes selling out their 100 year old brands for the Anti American Pedo President. Gonna be out of work soon enough.

when have you ever seen this sort of story run against a prominent Republican by mainstream political jorunalists? bsky.app/profile/dmnd...

they like trump and want to help him. tallarico winning a senate seat would hurt trump so they want to run stories that make it harder for tallarico to win a senate seat, by emphasizing his perceived weaknesses with the electorate (SECRET VEGETARIAN!?) and downplaying his strengths

As MAGA and the media and SCOTUS scramble to anoint the thousand year reign of the Fourth Reich, quisling Dems will start becoming more brazen in their green room bonhomie with the enemy

Remember when AOC was declared to be a drooling imbecile for doing the Taiwan dance less than perfectly? Good times.

How AI Plans to Buy 2026 This election should be a slam dunk for Democrats. There are billions of reasons it absolutely is not. I'm going Paul Revere on this one and connecting the dots. One thing you can never say is that you haven't been told.

Fighter, Cleric, Mage, Rogue, Paladin, Ranger

Up, Down, Charm, Strange, Top, and Bottom

The whole GOP talks like this and it's cult-speak. It doesn't even work on its own logic: if hydrocarbons are so precious and lack replacements, we should minimize unnecessary use by implementing as many replacements as we can. Which means expanding solar/wind and battery use where possible.

In theory it should be insanely difficult to start a war for any reason but the imperial US president can just be like "hello yes I would like to commence an offensive war of choice" like he's ordering a fucking pizza. And if you object to this people treat you like a fringe weirdo! Madness

A bunch of aging dorkwads talking about old Star Trek episodes that live rent free in the heads of our political elite

Imagine how many diapers we could buy with the $175B (billion with a b) more we pay in federal taxes per year than we get back in federal spending! But it's cool, keep sending our money to Mississippi for Brett Favre to steal or whatever, way better than spending a nominal amount to help new mothers

Raising the Flag Follow my work and writing on Substack: nickanderson.substack.com

Another fucking bad faith schoolmarm scolding article by The Erudite Fascist Magazine, this time deeply concerned about how the environmental movement isn't fighting back hard enough after being sabotaged for 50 years by oil companies. Like Henry II saying "where's my boy Tommy B at" energy

"The oligarchs want a permanent ruling class. The extremists want a permanent underclass to grind a boot into. The deal between them is straightforward enough: the oligarchs get captured courts and permanent tax cuts, the extremists get their hierarchy of human worth written back into the law"

Donald Trump to a reporter: You're a bitch who is stupid NYT: Trump in testy exchange with female reporter Donald Trump: Americans are stupid and deserve to be poor, so I will take their money NYT: Trump proposes bold new redistribution scheme for middle class americans

incredibly depressing that the reimposition of jim crow districts across the entire south is getting nothing more than generic horse race coverage

“Guys, we need complete SCOTUS reform and a overhaul of campaign finance laws.” “Sir, this is a Pokemon forum.“

Entire 2nd Trump Regime has been Make-A-Wish for Nazis and the media ran with it

I am so sorry, ma’am, but we lost your son. Surgery was going fine but we decided to let RFK Jr. futz around a little on his insides with a robot. He was eating squash at the time.

Hey, #comics friends and X haters, I just posted this in Instagram. Please feel free to like and share if you're still over there so we can defeat the algo and get it seen! THANK YOU!!! www.instagram.com/p/DYSQjo8ES4U/

this hits so hard

Literally it was called "alternative culture" bc mainstream culture was an absolutely awful dystopian Reganeque hellscape. Those of us who couldn't stand it fled and found &/or made art / music / community /activism that in part told us it wasn't just us, but that wasn't what was served on main.

The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.
