usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Love the new George H. Bush and the six Jimmy Carter clones!

Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.

I’ve had nothing to do with that pedophile since he stole all of my teenage masseuses.

I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

Bookplate with a series of six images illustrating a stick figure from the purchase of their first book to their books being unceremoniously tossed after death. Text reads "EX LIBRIS KNUD SCHØNBERG"

Are YOU the most depressing book plate ever? YES, You ARE!

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship.

That's just a true statement about the world!

Deeply uninterested in hearing about what any AI has to say in response to any question, it’s like getting a parrot’s opinion but not fun because the parrot has the funny high-pitched voice and says things so quickly

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

I forgot how depressing it is to watch Republicans dismantle the federal government

Here is an authentic waterlogged courthouse phone book. (Tarps are covering the tables because of roof damage/repair.)

Day 2 of jury duty today. So far it’s an experiment to see how long we will shuffle from room to room without complaint. Notable: a lady is wearing iridescent platform clogs, I guess in case today’s civic service runs late and she’s got somewhere to be later. I feel underdressed.

It’s weird to live in a time when basic principles like cruelty is wrong, cheating is empty & the idea that curiosity, generosity, originality, the satisfaction of earned accomplishments & loving intimacy are the center of a good life feel like countercultural concepts

congress should consider stopping the stupidest person who has ever lived from destroying the economy

- Hosts his home state Buckeyes after they win the College Football Championship
- Trophy falls apart the moment he touches it

- Diplomatically pressures the Vatican into meeting with Pope Francis on Easter Sunday
- Pope Francis dies twelve hours later

Sure you’ve lost your life savings but hey at least you can say all the slurs you want in the break room of the job you no longer have

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

I for one am amazed that allowing the world's stupidest man to bellow like an idiot while swinging a sledgehammer into every surface encountered has not fixed all of our problems but has instead made all problems worse and caused new ones. It makes no sense; he had the longest tie, the goldest hair.

back on the "simply writing down what's happening ends up sounding like satire" beat slate.com/news-and-pol...

trump believes he is the boss of america and that it is our duty as his subjects to show him endless respect and deference. anything less than groveling is to be punished by the state.

one thing i do not like about these days is that i am filled with hate for so many people

This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?
