I dare say my life would objectively improve because then I wouldn’t have to hear about AI ever again

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

It’s a bit specific, but clothing & shoe options for tall ladies. I had to wear a lot of men’s pants and shoes in the ‘90s because it was that or high-waters/barefoot. Shopping with my size 4 friends at The Limited was a mortifying ordeal.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

I’ll step up to the plate for Dr. Strangelove — Oppenheimer was a good and impressive movie, but… come on. I rewatched Dr. Strangelove recently and it still blows me away anew every time.

Cornyn: "There's nothing we could do to rein in the president"

Cool to see my worst fears realized… and then watch my senator do fuck-all with the limited power she does have right now to fight back. Our country is a sad joke.

Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social · yesterday

Beyond funding election subversion (and helping Collins in her election) there’s nothing in here for, e.g. blue state disaster victims whom Trump has abandoned. Patty Murray, who negotiated the agreement represents Washington state… www.offmessage.net/p/senate-dem...

How about let’s not negotiate with republicans to help fund Trump’s corrupt government until he stops maliciously withholding aid? That’s the bare minimum you should be fighting for here. Anything less is an insult to our whole state. WHY WOULD YOU HELP HIM WHEN HE JUST LETS US BURN.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov · 2d ago

Alongside our entire Congressional delegation—Democrats & Republicans—I'm calling on the President to approve our state's request for an expedited emergency declaration. We need every bit of support we can get to fight the devastating fires we're seeing in Eastern & Central WA.

I have a theory that a big chunk of the socialist fear mongering by liberals is really about the fact that it’s perceived as a youth movement and godforbid the young exert political power

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

Call me crazy but I think I have a slightly larger issue with my tax dollars subsidizing secret police, concentration camps, and a pointless, illegal war. Among other things.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

It continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Lockdown people are so funny. They pull out their hair at the fact that schools were closed for five minutes, and then you ask them if they actually want to educate poor and minority children and they’re like of course not

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

The hatred I feel for this man transcends time and space and all human language. No work of art or music or performance could express it. The greatest scholars and philosophers in history could not capture the essence if they tried for a thousand years. It comprises the atoms of my very bones.

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

Do I know anyone here (or a friend of a friend!) in the US whose day would be brightened by having this little bub? I’ll send it to you! For free! Was handmade by an Etsy artist & is very well done, but… I hate #spiders &can barely look at it. My mom bought it by mistake & gave it to me anyway, lol.

If you’re rich and you like Trump (or can at least pretend convincingly), you can literally do whatever you want with no consequences. Just straight up.

Reiterating that Musk's literal voter bribery last time was an unambiguous go-directly-to-jail felony, for which people have been successfully prosecuted over vastly smaller amounts. It wasn't just pouring money into a PAC, whatever one thinks of that. It was a black-letter plain-as-day crime.

I already hated gold, but that tacky little bitch has somehow made me hate it even more. Even nice gold is generally butt ugly imo, so this cheap shit that looks like shiny mustard is truly offensive.

I have literally thought about this every night before I fall asleep for months—and in a broader sense, since last January. I live in terror that the big one will happen while he’s in charge and he’ll just let us rot and die out of sheer spite.

Me. I didn’t. My family and everyone else I regularly associate with got every shot and booster, and no one had any of these complications. Myself included. Also, none of us have ever gotten COVID. Go fig.
