It helps that he’s on his deathbed. Yes, clinical sorcery keeps dragging him back to life, but when the reaper collects and everything is still shit, people will wake up and rise up.

Vance doesn’t have the range. He has the charisma of a rock, and we’re all Elmo.

— this is me being hopeful

More like another weekend of clinical sorcery keeping him upright. For now.

He’s not wrong.

Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

We let kids be infected with an organ- and immune system-damaging virus over and over with no end in sight, and don’t demand clean indoor air, improved vaccines, and mask mandates. And all because billionaires prioritized the economy & dictated policy & people were selfish & shortsighted. #COVID

You know you’re at a Black funeral when:

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

He was golfing every weekend in his first term. Noticeable decline in his golfing weekends and health.

I’m loving Eric Benét’s second act. There was so much hilarity behind those ballads. Who knew? Now he’s got quick, spot-on cultural takes and, apparently, new music. 😆

More than likely.

When they’re not busy pillaging and embezzling, they’re sabotaging. Stealing the country blind. By the time we account for the damages, the entire system will have collapsed.

My Long Covid came from an infection acquired in a doctor’s office.

Healthcare settings are deadly now.

How is everyone so fucking ok with this???

And yet people get on this site every day and call people like me childish "accelerationists" and "revolutionaries" for telling them we (Black people in particular) cannot vote our way out of this.

Objective present reality and successive centuries of murder be damned, I guess.

i hope everyone is remembering to take solace in the fact that even if things Bad they will not be Bad Forever because the people in charge are just unbelievably stupid

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

I’m with the woman recording this video — not a single one of his fellow servicemen or women looked back.

Their refusal to look back was like a scene from Pluribus. Hive mind, but Trump is the central consciousness. Yikes.

Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(

Stop fighting. It’s time.
Just let them take you.

Our ministry of lies is also warring with reality.

This has really been on my mind lately. GLP-1s are surfacing. a pathology that has always been there. And now some women are out here looking whatever is well past gaunt. Their skin is stretched over sharp bone and no they shouldn’t be criticized for it but we can’t pretend we don’t see it!

Delroy Lindo on the cultural impact of 'Sinners' and his Oscar-nominated performance "Sinners," directed by Ryan Coogler, made Academy Awards history recently when it garnered a record 16 Oscar nominations. One, for Best Supporting Actor, went to Delroy Lindo, a 73-year-old now receiv...

"it always resonated in terms of it being a story about a community that is infiltrated, a vibrant community, a vibrant self-sustaining community.

What happens when that community is infiltrated? And from that standpoint, it felt very, very, very contemporary to me."

On February 22, 2026, Naval Ravikant tweeted: "If you're unwilling to defend your country in time of war, then you're a tourist, not a citizen." As of March 3, 2026, the tweet has been deleted.

deleted his tweet as soon as an actual war popped off

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

Oh, so the chaos demons can also charter flights — for a select few.

Other Western governments are quickly chartering flights and getting their citizens the hell out of a regional crisis these chaos demons started. We get “oopsies” travel alerts.

There are going to be so many shot-chaser screenshots of people posting “Hey losers, admit AI is great or get left behind!!!” and then posting “My department eliminated all permanent positions today. I have been replaced by three children being paid 25 cents a day.”

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

Rich people are actually allowed to do good things with their money.

Crazy, I know!
