Regime Accountant, CPA ☠️🎢@regimecpa.bsky.social · 10h agoAsking gamblers why they’re gambling and actually believing them when they say “I see no other way to get ahead in life” is incredible.
People don’t get it, he was stealing from the NFT firm to pull attention away from a state system that cannibalizes the region around it. protos.com/nft-firm-fou...

At the current Disney pace you're going to be an embarrassment if you're a Jedi who could not find a way to survive Order 66
“Sure it was illegal for me to have that money, but think about how good it was for me”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."
I get this idea, but I’m not sure it’s true, even if you drive to death. Older, cheaper cars are cheaper to insure, and it takes a lot expenses/premature death to cover like the gap from a $15-20k used car to a $60k new car. The depreciation hit is so huge that it’s gotta be cheaper to go junker
The Torment Nexus doesn't love you back@bankuei.bsky.social · yesterdayLOL LMAO. It's also... not a new idea to anyone who has been poor. You buy a beat up junker car, it will die sooner than the new car you cannot afford. In 20 years you've paid more for cars than a richer person has.
Gotta have Knut Hamsun’s Hunger on the list for me
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · yesterdayalright let's do real discourse: five books *by bad people* that are still good or great books V.S. Naipaul, A BEND IN THE RIVER Allison Pearson, I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DOES IT Kevin Myers, WATCHING THE DOOR Yukio Mishima, CONFESSIONS OF A MASK Neil Gaiman, BRIEF LIVES.
“People who don’t want us to win our trying to steal our joy” is a deranged phrase for a politician to utter
𝑲𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒂𝑺𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏@kassandraseven.bsky.social · yesterdayPer Adam Wren (Politico) on Twitter: An internal note Haley Stevens sent to her campaign team yesterday:
Caitlin Clark tries to shut up and dribble and that triggers Walsh

Nathan Goldwag @goldwagnathan.bsky.social · 2d agoJokes on you Iran, it's impossible to humiliate us if we have no sense of shame or awareness of current events.

Shiv Ramdas Mens Rice Activist@nameshiv.bsky.social · 2d agoI don't think the average American and certainly not the average MAGA even gets the extent to which "humiliate your foe" is a core ethos of the Iranian approach to conflict
Still wild to me we’re literally fighting a war entirely outside of trading hours
The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 2d agoyeah the stall that a lot of people want to attribute to either not being real, or being because of Gaza and 'most lethal military stuff' almost certainly came from RFK Jr's sliver of the electorate swinging right
Camus: Under conditions so desperate, the hard, marvelous task of this century is to create justice in the most unjust of worlds, and to protect freedom from those souls who, out of principle, choose servitude. If we fail, man will return to darkness. But at least we will have fought to find light.
I thought this said Powell for a second and almost freaked out, but then I was able to relax
Couple times in college I helped bounce for our parties and had a couple guys who kept telling me they were going to fuck me up and my truck every time was just to keep gradually leading them outside while they kept talking and the fresh air and quiet would take all the winds out of their sails
Dan of the Year@downwithdan.bsky.social · 2d agoHe will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"
it's crazy how obvious it is that sex is not binary, but despite that fact, people seem to insist that there should be a binary gender derived from that multitudinous sex
There’s a dynamic my wife and I have when choosing a movie to watch where I suggest we watch the first one that seems decent and she wants to try to optimize the choice, to find the best movie we could be watching
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 3d agoOne of those weird paradox of choice things where I used to be fine seeing Frasier as a kid because I got some of the jokes and there was a dog and it was what was on versus now where no matter what I watch I know there’s something better I should be watching
I personally think American consumers are fucking hogs who are lying when they say they will pay more for quality and nothing short of banning cheap goods will make that supposedly existing preference emerge.
Crazy third point with the increase in wages that Biden oversaw
Goldstein@goldstein.latinsky.app · 2d agoAmazon’s Popular Highlights feature is fascinating to me; especially the way it inevitably reinforces the early popular ones as eternally popular because people slow down and read that underlined segment
If only the senate had some ability to rein in a president who would openly lie
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoSen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."
