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 have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

he's gonna fire all of BLS

im losing my mind he sent it with "serious lols" what the fuck are you talking about???? what???? the fuck?????

coworker sent me a link to a tweet of a video of an AI generated karoline leavitt and kaitlan collins going back and forth from a press conference (assuming today or whatever) but theyre babies. the account is called diaper diplomacy. how do i politely tell him to never send me this shit ever again

got a microplane and I be acting different. bitches be zesting

really feel like we're not taking the sinking of that Iranian ship seriously enough. like truly what the fuck

what do i do if its 9:06am and I want buffalo wings

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

i suppose it makes sense that the country that doesn't care when kids are shot in schools in the country also does not care about bombing kids in schools in a foreign country but its all pretty bleak

We went from making up reasons like "weapons of mass destruction" to you know what, fuck it we don't need to even lie, the president "had a feeling" that they pose a threat so we just bomb them so we can. A country doing this can't expect peace inside.

waking up in this timeline

am I correct in thinking the US no longer has any pretense about even pretending RE: norms RE: how heads of state can be assassinated, diplomatic negotiations can be ruses for preemptive attacks (or targets outright), ships flying foreign flags can be ambushed and sunk in international waters, etc?

It's impressive how often these backers of war justify it using entirely their imagination. "Wouldn't it be great if we killed a bunch of people and the whole Middle East just became our friends?"

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

MAGA Unreality vs the World The U.S. government is in the hands of people who are fully detached from reality. That is a major weakness for the regime – but also a source of further radicalization.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

🧵

steady.page/en/democracy...

Pretty much sums it up.

I’d add “greed” into that last phrase, though.

As a result, this regime has so far been incapable of adapting to the changing political and public environment. Instead of acting strategically, they keep overreaching, clinging to the fantasy that “real America” stands behind them and is about to rise up in support of the MAGA vision.

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

that last paragraph is so insulting it took my breath away

it is so funny how presidencies rise and fall on gasoline prices, which presidents often have very little real-world control over. except in this case where Donald Trump has smashed the "Double All Gas Prices Now" button via executive fiat. bold move cotton etc etc

RIP costco leg of jamon

it says a lot about us, none of it good, that we chose a leader with not a single redeeming quality: stupid? yup. corrupt? absolutely. dishonest? to his core. violent? maybe the most violent ever. any ability to empathize with people? none. baseline level of regard for human life? not even a skosh.

well, DoD absolutely was

the problem is there's no interagency, and even if there was state is 3 marcos rubio in a trenchcoat

I'm perfectly aware this is by far not the worst thing he's done, but Trump's constant presence - day after day after day - in the lives and headspaces of hundreds of millions of people (billions?), in the US and outside, is so taxing. Every morning, we wake up and have to think about this asshole.
