We're held hostage by a brutal capitalist system of wage slavery no matter who occupies the White House. Voting is a pointless exercise in this corrupt political landscape.

wife [concerned] “whats wrong? what are you thinking about?” me [internally]: i just don’t know how you could build a city on rock and roll. is it even zoned for rock and roll?

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

If you aren’t willing to go on TV and publicly demand the President resign due to the credible evidence that he’s a pedophile then you should quit your job in favor of someone who can actually do politics.

tbh i genuinely think a leaked video of Trump committing CSA wouldn't do much of anything to stop him

To everyone who's upset at the DNC capitulation to reopen the government:

wild to think about how new york almost elected a chronic sexual harasser because too many people are too scared of justice for palestinians

i think my favorite part about elon musk is through joining up side by side with the far right, he revealed himself to be a completely tasteless loser with absolutely absurd beliefs that doesn’t really care about anything real at all other than ruining peoples lives and power

dems, 2009: we can't do shit we only have 59 senators dems, 2025: we can't stop them they have 52 senators

Joyce Carol Oates should say he can't do backflips off the roof next

no quote about the US political system has ever gone harder than this one

It's actually so cathartic watching the "afabs only" post on the local queer housing Facebook get absolutely dogpiled lol.

they understand insurance. the entire premise of libertarian opposition to mandatory insurance is that they should not have to care about anyone else and be permitted to take risks. it's the same opposition to vaccination and taxation. they are bad neighbors.

in honor of Eazy-E, here is no quotation whatsoever.

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______. No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

If you are more upset about the people pointing out the Nazification of American that is happening than the nazification of America itself, I have some bad news for you.

The highest level members of the Democratic Party are going to sell out millions of Americans to the fascists further allowing the Nazis in power to consolidate their control and domination. The democrats are quislings at best.

bad people don't understand what makes a good person good. they assume it's stuff like forgiveness and no, it's stuff like justice.

Wait

Mamdani is already cleaning up the NYPD!

On TikTok there's a woman doing a fairly clever social experiment. She's calling churches around the US and asking if they can help her get formula for her baby. She tracks on a spreadsheet which ones say yes. It makes me wish we could strip religious tax exemption from orgs that fail their values.

you ever have someone acknowledge the bigotry and oppression you face as a marginalized person but like, also assumes those are the ONLY problems you have?

Minimum wage is $7.25/hr

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

The nyt editors already have a biased angle in mind. They’re not seeking facts, they’re looking for quotes to fill in a predetermined narrative of bigotry. Every nyt story about us is intended to spread disinformation and foment discrimination. The leadership’s anti-trans animosity is deeply held

if your event isn't Masking Required, you are A Problem in your Community

I'm getting absolutely hammered with Democrat fundraising emails today. People voted because they're angry at Trump and hate what's happening in their neighborhoods. Not because you jabronis did anything. Send a fucking email JUST ONCE where you don't ask for money. One fucking time

Do not talk to Amy Harmon or the new york times

Hoping this helps our colleagues across the industry

Hate to say it but everyday community care and kindness is not only a solid political project but also deeply fulfilling

uh i would say it's mildly alarming that the Trump administration is using its sanction powers to compel tech companies into taking its critics offline. First, the ICC's chief investigator says he was blocked from his Microsoft-hosted email after US sanctions. Now, this

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

There was a concerted effort to ensure no one was held accountable in any way for the Iraq War and torture. That’s the reason most young people don’t know who Cheney is.

i assume all the people who complain about purity tests and being practical and putting winning above ideology are going to adjust what the winning strategy looks like after mamdani got the most votes since 1969 or whatever

Theres something serendipitous and poetic about Dick Cheney, a man who caused so many deaths primarily of Muslims specifically off the back of using islamophobia and 9/11 to justify wars, dying the same morning that New Yorks first Muslim mayor was sworn in. Racist losers stay losing.

A Dershowitz bag lunch special capping a day that started with Cheney dying and saw Mamdani win would have to go down as the first good day of year

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

breaking news: the statue of liberty just got her titties out

Congratulations to the Cuomo team: it takes a lot of dedication and money to lose one election twice.

My takeaway from the elections yesterday is that it’s one thing to be unpopular and have a large portion of the media apparatus desperate to pretend that’s not the case but it’s another thing to be unpopular and have that be an undeniable fact

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

Now his camp stuff is such over-the-top Marie Antoinette stuff that the networks carrying water for him have a vested interest in NOT showing it. And what's left? Not much. Terror of civilians. Murder of fishermen. And now, deliberate starvation of our neighbors.

Just the face you want to see endorsing your campaign on the eve of the election

I figure if a 16bit boot sector virus can infect a UEFI 64bit Windows 11 machine, it deserves to infect my machine
