Listening to kids on the bus talking about how Super Mario 3 is so much better than modern stuff while playing it emulated on their phone and I'm like, how did you even access this. I am so impressed

The absolute hoops one has to jump through to not admit that leftist predictions can be correct sometimes

For Xmas I got an indoor bike trainer & am doing a free trial of Zwift. I was pleased to see that I could eventually unlock my actual bike for my little cartoon avatar. Then I joined the Zwift subreddit & realized ppl take this shit very seriously bc of course they do #bikesky

It's wild to think that the US killed all those people in the boat strikes, and spent millions in a military campaign, just to end up with essentially the same outcome as the "chavismo lite" deal that Delcy & Jorge offered the US through Qatar last year.

As the old Kurt Vonnegut quote goes...

thesis: the best science fiction involves some kind of large vortex this is why doctor who and stargate are both good, and why deep space nine is the best star trek. and why star wars got old after three movies

It's this but then the exterminator sends you text messages asking for more money every 3 hours for the rest of your life

I expect evil people to do evil things I also expect people selling themselves as a bulwark against those evil people to fight tooth and nail against the evil things evil people do only one of these groups is currently performing according to expectations

Where to start? Heart stopped in the crib, split my skull open, almost died of pleurisy, had a minor stroke, got COVID twice, hit a curb and launched over the handlebars of a moped... I'm either tougher than I think or I really am under divine protection.

Look. You gotta read history. (I promise it's interesting. And if you look you can find parts of it that you will actually want to know more about.) But more than anything, you gotta read history because it teaches, again and again and again, that every dark chapter has a close.

I heard to like scary movies too

like ten minutes into the Chevy Chase documentary and Chevy has, seemingly without artifice, forgotten his entire first marriage (which lasted four years)

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

It’s not a distraction they’re just fascist Hitler didn’t invade Poland to distract people, he invaded Poland because he wanted to occupy Poland Begging even good Democrats to call a spade a goddamn spade

I would like to remind folks that if all you care about is 1080p (or 4x for a premium), you can still get dumb-as-rocks TV with variable large sizes, 120hz, and plenty of brightness/contrast for HDR. ...if you're willing to use a projector, and have 2010 pre-ad-subsidized TV budget. Laser DLPs tho

The casualties already coming in. Grandmothers in their apartments….

Donald Trump has made it clear that he will invade as many countries as we allow him to. He has already mentioned Mexico, Cuba, even Canada. We should identify pressure points for action that could render that impossible for him. Against all imperialist aggression. crimethinc.com/posters/agai...

Imagine someone illegally abducting your nation’s leader and taking them away. Must be nice.

insider sports betting on regime change What a future

I'm just remembering that Taylor Swift fan in Israel refusing to be conscripted and like, she's literally braver then the troops I guess.

thinking about PSY, who was right

Im in my late 40s, and im just flashing back to every ‘justified’ regime change and invasion for decades, every ‘weapons of mass destruction’ lie, every ‘evil communists’ trope bought and sold by politicians, journalists and people, and all the incredible suffering that followed

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! 🎶 The totally valid SNES nostalgia for a generation. And the gateway to Onett, Narshe, and Porre I'll always be grateful for. 💜

Folks like to say "twitter is not the real world" but the government is being run by people addicted to it, and who take actions based on how many twitter likes it will generate, and approving comments it will get from their favorite Twitter accounts

Some people just need a villain to scream at who doesn’t feel untouchable, and they can make you into that with or without you there to take their abuse. Block and move on.

Not that it was ever great politically but the Washington Post is just Newsmax at this point. Incredible to see.

Not that crazy IMO ➡️ The Republican-run Supreme Court has ruled the President can't be prosecuted for doing crimes in office ➡️ The Republican-run Congress has decided Trump's the boss and they are mere spectators Historically, tell a guy he's a god-king with no consequences and this is the result

dawg

Stop. Please. These are not distractions, just because you are being distracted. All the things matter. All the things are important. The lives of Venezuelans, just like the lives of migrants or trans people, are not distractions. They matter. We matter.

remember when we impeached a president for getting a blowjob just thinking about that again, no reason

Fun fact: the US has been at continual war since 1945 and *not a single one of these wars*, from the Korean War to Vietnam to Iraq to Iraq again, was ever declared war by Congress. The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.

A lot of the people who said Trump wasn’t going to start a war and that’s why we should vote for him are now gonna say it’s good Trump started a war because he did it in a manly strong way

I guess what’s really despairing is that this feels like a litmus test of every part of the system, and every part of the system is failing. The media, the democrats, the army, international allies… pretty much everyone is willing to shrug their shoulders here. It will only embolden them.

This is my blood

love that the Canadian centre-and-right reaction today is “see! we need to run tankers off the hazardous coast of BC to stay competitive, it's critical!” and not “jesus christ this is completely unconscionable,” we need to quit oil so bad dude

meanwhile I'm having to watch people have no self-respect, taste or sense of self worth

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Even on an entirely selfish non-philosophical level: a recruiter will sell you a comfy 9-5 job in an air conditioned shop, and once it's too late to back out without ruining your life you'll find yourself in the most miserable bs situation you've ever seen
