guess it's up to me now

imagine being sent to die in this pedophile's war, started because he's stupid and angry and racist and confused and easily led, one started illegally because hes too lazy and has no impulse control, and then after you die your family is denied death benefits because he lied and said it isn't a war

Recent movies set in the 80s or 90s so they dont have to include intrusive cell phones VS movies from the 80s and 90s in which people stop making out or having sex to answer their ringing landline

Yeah, the first $30K buys necessities, the next $70K buys comforts, and beyond that money is just agency. And if there are imbalances in who has agency, that's an easy problem to fix. Why should these assholes, of all people, have more power than a senator?

The wolf you feed grows--this is true of internal and external evil. When you give the police and military money, they will use it, and use it more. Wolves can't identify what is "Correct" to eat. You can only feed them, or not. "Abolish/defund the police" is built on this understanding

This is what the growth of surveillance is going to bring. Not safety from crime, but new, non-criminal acts redefined as criminal so as to give the police an excuse to exercise power. local12.com/news/offbeat...

Abraham Lincoln: they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Robert E Lee and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go four score with another wrestler, you got 7 years. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal!

biggest surprise from the Lincoln bio I'm reading. The dude just loved to get into fistfights. He's cornered by a gang after beating their leader and yells: “I’m the big buck of this lick!” And they back down! Who knew the great emancipator had a little WWE in him?

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

that we made no effort whatsoever to dismantle the post 9/11 security monarchy and in fact keep burnishing it and handing it to increasingly braindead assholes, to the point where a jibbering moron can take us into a land war in iran for no reason other than he wants to look tough, well. disgusting

Not proud just true, I've been vegetarian for almost 20 years and taco bell has been the only fast food option* most of the time. If they go under due to some weird knee jerk anti woke MAHA thing it's just a matter of time for me *Can't eat Subway bread can't eat it

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption

Like how we’ve cleaned up polluted rivers, staved off acid rain, reversed extinction for multiple species, or stopped several famines: All it takes is one idiot who makes some reversals to soon make everyone realize why we pay attention to mosquitoes having sex or buy bug nets for other countries.

CDC is no longer surveilling outbreaks caused by campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio and Yersinia. What could go wrong?

Boring posts are my right. This is social media. I dont have to bring fucking insight and relevance. I dont owe you SHIT Anyway. My watch band was getting ratty so I had to buy a new one, online of course, and the company is sending me emails. WHY I have the watch and band I dont need more than one

Someone was humming Twinkle Twinkle Little Star kind of creepily in this movie and I thought wouldn't it be funny if she was doing the alphabet song. Then started singing and it was Baa Baa Black Sheep. Holy SHIT

If you over-regulate capitalism you get totalitarian communism. If you under-regulate capitalism you get a ruling caste of insane monopolists. Please ignore the fact that one of these things has never happened and the other keeps happening over and over

i have absolutely fucking had it with 100% of all of this shit. gambling websites, lies, cryptocurrency, rampant corruption, lies, deep fakes, lies, plagiarism, devaluation of expertise, lies, bile, abuse, violence, bombs, genocides, lies, plutocrats, oligarchs, and lies. fucking enough. rules time

Yeah, I just looked, and it says "paid partnership" at the bottom of that post. If Democrats take the House and/or Senate, they should subpoena these people immediately

it’s like i’ve always said: you never want to bounce the ball off the back of your own teammate’s head from 10 feet away in the backcourt while tied in the final minute of Game 2 of the NBA Finals

I learned a while ago that you really can't throw too much political support behind A Person, because you just don't know what you don't know about them, or when exactly you're going to find out (which is never a good time). I guess what you're left with is the ideas. Which also, fucking suck
