nobody you know, probably we should be whispering all the time

Man goes to see the Cyclops. Says he's depressed. He wants to get back to his wife and home, but he keeps running into fatal predicaments along the way. Cyclops says, "Prognosis is simple. Nobody can help you." Man starts crying. Says, "But Cyclops, I *am* Nobody"

for weeks now I've had that weird pride you get when everybody finds out someone sucks and YOU KNEW ALL ALONG, like, a hipsterish hate, sure everyone hates them now but I HATED THEM FIRST i knew nothing about Taylor Farms other than their bagged salads were remarkably shit but I FEEL SO VINDICATED

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

This is crazy lol. I’m slipping a piece of paper with Chinese written on it under a door and someone inside is responding in Chinese with another slip of paper. Whoever’s in there must be a native level Chinese speaker! Well, guess I’ll stop thinking about it now

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.

AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Mark this well. A public servant who performed admirably in a crisis is being publicly persecuted, maybe prosecuted. Govt websites are being given over to propaganda. Fake medicines are being praised while lifesaving vaccines are lied about. Slanderous grifters cackle their triumph. Despicable.

Fauci accuses Rand Paul of having an "unhinged obsession with calling for my prosecution" and of making "repeated slanderous comments," then says "although it pains me to do so... under advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the 5th Amendment to refrain from answering your questions."

If you put together the season posters for Reacher they tell the story of a large man who can't remember where he put his keys.

Reacher Season 1 Poster. "Did I leave them in the bedroom?"Reacher Season 2, "No, I checked the bedroom. Did I leave them in the bathroom?"Reacher Season 3. "No, I checked the bathroom. Hey, have you seen my keys?"

If you're tempted by a democratic socialist this year, maybe volunteer and campaign and vote for them? Instead of surrendering pre-emptively like our centrist brethren who can't imagine that things could ever be better? Mamdani has demonstrated that ppl are FUCKING TIRED of this centrist nonsense.

The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

This is Alfie. He is a professional opera singer with some of the best vibrato in the industry. Some have even called him the next Paw-varotti. 13/10 (TT: thelifeofalfiee)
