I think we as Americans can ALL agree that we prefer our public executions to be done extrajudicially by an emotionally stunted coward with a badge.
YOU MEAN THE US BET THE ENTIRE ECONOMY ON MAGIC BEANS.
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · last wk.AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP. Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down. "AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago. We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.
People who smoke cigarettes right outside the sliding emergency room doors should be clubbed to death. I’m sorry if you have limited mobility and a smoking addiction but if you can ambulate to outside the hospital doors you can ambulate further down the fucking sidewalk too, you cunt.
The road to fascism is paved by liberals telling you “you’re overreacting.”
It’s a shame Robert Shaw never got to play a Star Trek villain. He would have been incredible.
As @juliusgoat.bsky.social says, if you accept their framing, they’ll always be in the picture
The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2mo agoBy disparaging 2020 protests as ‘Woke 1’, liberals are following the rightwing’s lead
The media hounding Jason Arday until his suicide is nothing but lynching by proxy.
This place is dead and it makes me sad. What a squandered opportunity.
I can’t wait until the first ICE agent wearing electric gloves accidentally scratches their balls and has a heart attack
If I have rats in my house and I hire an exterminator and all the exterminator does all day is tweet about how rats arent helping the affordability crisis then you’re goddamn right I’ll have more heat for the exterminator. I EXPECT the rats to be rats.

Pleasant Dreams is the Ramones’ best album and I will broker no argument otherwise. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Morrissey is a scam by Live Nation to just earn interest on your money as they temporarily hold it between booking and cancellation/refund.
Eddie Vedder once said that Good Charlotte’s music tastes like a popsicle that’s been stuck up someone’s ass. He was being too kind.
starting an Abbott and Costello inspired conspiracy theory that actually it was a guy named "Who" that shot JFK
Me watching The Expanse: “Well that’s just a bullshit way to write off a character what the fuck!?” Me reading the internet about it: “Oh…. Fuck”
Oh man, I had a two poppy seed bagels yesterday and forgot what happens when you eat poppy seed bagels I thought I’d been attacked by nano machines
George Lucas never made a good movie on purpose. Time has shown that studio interference and limited budgets tempered his worst instincts.
I don’t think there has ever been a worse recasting in history than in The Expanse recasting Chrisjen’s husband from Brian George to whoever the fuck this guy is.
Rest in Peace Sam Neill If you haven’t, see Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople. It’s such a beautiful movie. He will make you cry. I’m crying now… didn’t think I would but I am…

My deepest prayers to Reinhard Heydrich’s family, friends, and all those who loved him. Though we did not see eye to eye politically, Reinhard was an effective Obergruppenführer. Also, just a charming and funny man who cared deeply about the people of Germany.
Not a great week for politicians named Graham who were harboring secrets.
