Congratulations to Lung Cancer, on 5 years of being free of Rush Limbaugh.

There is no company in consumer technology of any kind that will not fuck its users exactly as hard as it needs to to make more money in whatever way possible. There’s just no such thing.

What a worthless sack of shit that guy turns out to be.

I’ve been watching that for a bunch of months now, and wondering if it was real, or if there was something I was missing.

lol do people still read The Economist’s brain drool? Huh.

I.e. DJT doesn’t give one dry, pebbly shit about making other misogynistic, racist, white men *better off.* He cares about his own money, power, and social approval, end of list.

Absolutely true.

But I think that’s orthogonal to what he’s saying. Misogyny and racism, which is def the very fabric of DJT’s “character.” But it’s not a policy position or “goal” he’s trying to “achieve.”

How would we refer to the people who vote and lack basic object permanence?

A friend’s dad was a power systems engineer for LADWP from the 70s through the early 2000s. He cried watching the TV when AB 1890 passed. “Thousands and thousands of people will die because of this, and no one will understand because it won’t happen for a generation.”

Yo, dawg, etc.

We do not have authority structures in place at any level to defend American citizens from lawless gangs of thugs.

lol the NRA? Are you fucking high?

$10k feels low for this. They have a GoFundMe? 🤔

Hot take: all social media features that have real utility for the user were present on the Unix command line by the mid-90’s.

Everything that has happened since is slop—monetization overhead so that people can have worthless, parasitic “careers” at places like Facebook.

Hahahahah *snort*

I dont see how any of my fellow Jewish Americans can be more fearful of college students protesting about Palestine than they are of a militarized ICE stacked with avowed Hitler supporters

Omg I *love* how they all just stand there staring after the guy disappears into the crowd. What fucking embarrassing clowns.

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

Yes. Every single thing that conservatives claim to believe or care about is fake, except bigotry. They do not care about freedom, democracy, the rule of law, human rights… None of it. Bigotry is the one thing that they truly, earnestly believe in.

Calling bigots “bigots” is not a strategy for winning the bigot vote.

JFC. I knew Jeffries and Schumer would be ineffectual losers on this, but goddam.

Pretending to be stupid is a ton of work. Much, much easier just *be* stupid and not have to maintain an elaborate facade.

Each spike is lower than the previous, and the area under the curve is dropping significantly over time.

Doesn’t take much mathematical knowledge, but it does take a little.

If you have the data, we can answer empirically. But yes, clear downward trend.

Saw Bluesky described as where elder millennials go to retire from the internet, and immediately felt the peace that passes all understanding wash over me. None of have to struggle any longer. We completed our time.

The vast bulk of the population is effectively innumerate. Even/especially in communities you’d expect more sophistication from.

Yuuuup. This is what the whole “critical race theory” freakout among the dipshit right wing is about: dismiss the argument, rather than engaging with it. If they engage on any topic of race, they lose, because 100% of their “ideas” are just bigotry.

USS Bigly Yuge

Ugh fuck these idiots

I cannot even

Ah, the Doughy Pantload. Still stupid, after all these years.
