Grown-up 80s computer nerd who never really grew up. Angry Midwest white guy frustrated with living in and with MAGA’s America. I say “fuck” a lot. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s crazy how much credit a “crazy asshole” gets when they backtrack from “crazy asshole move” after millions of regular people tell them they’re making a “crazy asshole move”. Like, they’re a “crazy asshole”! They should not get a mulligan for making a “crazy asshole move”.

FIFA President Infantino announces the FIFA privatization scheme will NOT proceed after fierce backlash and growing divisions over the plan. The reversal comes after European nations announced a boycott and CONCACAF rejected the proposal, which involved a private equity deal tied to the Kushners.

If SCOTUS has n justices and > n/2 are corrupt conservative assholes, how does increasing n make SCOTUS “better” in the long run when shitty conservatives can just replace any non-corrupt conservative asshole member?! Stacking the court is USELESS unless SCOTUS is completely overhauled!

Harris Says Supreme Court Should Expand to 13 Justices https://politicalwire.com/2026/07/31/harris-says-supreme-court-should-expand-to-13-justices/

I’m in the middle of season 2 of 1989’s Coach tv show and, I gotta say, it holds up as a pretty great example of a TV sitcom. Yes, Hayden is a jerk in a lot of ways, but I think you need that in a sitcom otherwise there’s no stakes and no humor.

It sure would be nice if the news could report on the President without images or sound clips of his retched face or nauseating voice. This might be the one valid use case for AI, to remove Trump’s stupid image and sound from my news feed…

Fucking hell. We need a better alternative to Patreon and quick. I support so many people on there and the user experience, my experience using their platform, sucks bawls. If they’re using AI to write their piece of crap app and website, no wonder it makes me want to tear my hair out. 🧃💩

In an internal email shared with creators, CEO Jack Conte wrote that AI doesn’t replace human creativity — but it does affect how the company operates.

Every single time I see Trump’s stupid face behind a play button, instead of pressing play, I think, “Holy shit will I be ecstatic on the day we realize that we will never have to hear this festering homunculus speak ever again. What a grand day it will be when he shuts up forever. 😑”

Trump introduces Mike Plant and Brian Snitker: "The Mets have the highest salary in baseball and they lose all the time. And I say, maybe we could steal this guy! But the way the Atlanta Braves have been managed for years -- he's the CEO of the Atlanta Braves."

Trump is such a fetid piece of human garbage! What shit President goes around destroying national monuments and parks for a quick buck! MAGA & Republican voters and people who couldn’t be bothered to vote in 2024: Go fuck yourselves for enabling the past 10 years of this carnage!

Trump signed two executive orders reducing two Utah national monuments by nearly 3 million acres, setting up a legal battle over presidential authority to shrink protected lands. He plans to open the land to oil drilling, uranium mining, and other development. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/13/c...

No thanks. Graham was an evil Republican turd. The *country* is better off, especially since South Carolina kept reelecting his stupid ass. They can be sad while the rest of the US can breathe a sigh of relief. 😅 The real party happens when Trump follows Lindsay’s footsteps. 🎉🥳🎈🍾

Criticize Graham’s deplorable public record and his awful ethical and moral decisions all you want today. He has it coming 100%. But please think twice before sinking to Trump’s level and celebrating a person’s death. We’re better than that and today’s a good day to prove it.

Okay, apparently there some kind of stigma associated with people who joined Bluesky in November 2024 which makes us second-class citizens. This is the second time I’ve been slandered with it. It’s really stupid, right?

nah my man, we filter our feeds because a bunch of boomer reactionaries joined in November 2024 and made this place worse. There's a labeler and it never failed "joined Nov 24" is a substantial Indicators a fucking colossal dipshit, something you've been more than obliged to confirm this evening.

Somethings are more important than sports. Like preventing US citizens like Folarin Balogun from being deported. He can miss ONE game, A GAME HE SHOULD MISS anyway, and stand up for others like him. His team can win w/o him and he’ll be in the quarter finals. Or he can accept Trump’s “favor”. ☠️

We should be doing everything we can on the world stage to tell them WE DO NOT SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP. No matter if it means missing an important soccer game. That should be more important to Folarin Balogun than some octafinal (I had to look it up) game. The rest of the team can win it!!! ⚽️

You’d think the birthright citizen, if he had any awareness, morality or even scruples, would then sit the game out in protest. He’ll be on the next ICE flight if Trump gets his way. 🚨 FOLARIN BALOGUN SHOULD SIT OUT USA v BELGUM IN PROTEST OF DONALD TRUMP’S ATTEMPTS TO END BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
