Delirious Quips

[sitting on my ass watching tv in the 1960s] why are they just sitting at that lunch counter

He has…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people…

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.

—Declaration of Independence, 1776

Not knowing shit, for one

I realize that Coily the Spring Sprite wanted to show us all how important springs are, but it fits too well

"Ha ha, no kings!" (weird chime sound)

What if, instead of actively trying to destroy civilisation, Thiel enrolled in some freshmen level English and philosophy classes at Stanford?

A reminder that Walz kept hitting the "weird" thing to the very end, neither Harris nor the vaguely defined "consultants" told him to stop, and the difference was the press stopped covering it

I've been waiting for Chocolate Gun Season all year

Today's racists just can't hold a candle to the racists of yore. 250 years ago, we had Ben Franklin coming up with takes like "The Swedes aren't white," but these days, even the most committed neonazi thinks Greek people are included in the Arian race.

This isn't unique to avowed leftists either. Garden variety liberals run into this all the time.

"Should we cede everything good about the past to the reactionaries?" probably shouldn't be a debate on the left, but it is.

My favorite is that 1/3 of the USSR's explosives came from the USA. And over half of the aviation fuel.

You'd think that the USSR wouldn't have had a problem with these, but the country just didn't have the refining capacity.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

The other issue is that AI is going to generate so much bullshit that e discovery vendors are going to make a killing.

I haven't found that to be the case at all.

It's a district of software engineers. You know what they're like.

I would be more annoyed with people giving Trump credit over Biden on Gaza on main if we didn't already do this in January its just everyone fucking forgot

How's K&E going to like it without a NY office?

If I were Hochul, I'd go after the law licenses of all AUSAs and all partners at the firms that made deals with Trump.

I am glad that the left has taken back frogs from the right. Frogs rule. Thank you Portland. Get wrecked Pepe.

Stick to sports!

Is St. Joseph elite?

Yeah but both involved a case caption, a background section, and a set of counts, all signed by a licensed attorney.

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Hamilton: “The president’s power is unreviewable.”

I want an unprecedented meltdown on the right so I want Greta Thunberg to get the Nobel Peace Prize this year

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

If you want people to have more kids without doing that, you need:

1. Extension of fertile years.
2. Absence of discrimination against women spending their 20s/30s having and raising kids.
3. Possibly direct economic aid, but that isn't nearly as helpful as you might think
