remember when the IRS put out a a free online tax filing system where you could just do your taxes through the IRS and it was actually well made and was pretty well recieved and then the tax filing industry and Republicans killed it and now you have to use TurboTax again

I want every court to set extended hours so every DoJ attorney who's still left is standing in court for 15-18 hours per day, 5 days a week, looking increasingly exhausted and worn down.

May every coffee shop in DC share a whisper network to deny them service.

I want the White House worn down. I want every fucking membver of the Cabinet waking up at 5:30 AM, going "God, I hate my life..." and dragging their asses home at 1:30 AM to get four hours of sleep and deal with this shit again.

I hate what this country is doing.

I am sincerely, desperately hoping that the oil shock gives us 350 Democrats in the House, and 53-54 in the Senate.

And that the House passes new articles of impeachment every two weeks from January 10th to whenever that fucker is convicted by the Senate.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

If you wanna lose votes as fast as possible, raise gas prices.

She was a widow by 1990 when I left the state. He died a little older than I am now due to not trusting doctors.

He was subsisting off a military pension at the time they got married, had myriad health issues cropping up, and didn't trust doctors...

maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living

FUCKING HELL WE NEED TO FIGHT THIS.

Two years later, we had a lawsuit after the school board embezzled the funds to open both schools in town; the school board had been captured by two different churches, and the money spent to fly tent revival preachers up to 'save our souls,' since they were certain the Rapture was coming.

My youth pastor getting a 15 year old friend pregnant in the spring semester of her sophomore year, then the church arranging her marriage to a coot in his 50s with a double-wide.

Her son had Pastor Mike's red hair and chin dimples. His wife took their daughters back to the lower 48.

Now on Patreon: breakups are bad; friends picking sides after a break up can be worse. But what do you do when your so-called friends choose your abuser over you? And how do you stop loving someone who lied so completely you don't know who he is anymore?

I'm tired of all the winning.

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

Currently, it sucks less than AI vibe coding...

And man, do the people who do AI vibe coding get *defensive* when you ask how many subsidized queries and wasted electricity/water their code consumed, vice actually doing the thinking and architecture themselves...

TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsk... • 1d • Joined May '23 Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

YouTube video by Not Just Bikes Suburbia is Subsidized: Here's the Math [ST07]

WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown and all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by #NotJustBikes with #Urban3 & @strongtowns.bsky.social. And PLEASE SHARE it as much as possible.

I’ve sent it to a LOT of politicians.

That's not cynicism at this point.

In the opening day of the campaign, the US gov't said that Iranian military and police who surrendered wouldn't be prosecuted.

Prosecuted by WHO?

Surrender to WHO?

During an all out bombing campaign of cities.

Every year in America: 13 million children will go hungry not knowing when their next meal will be. Nearly 700 homeless people will freeze to death & An average of 20 veterans will commit suicide each day due to insufficient health care. Want to make America great again? FIX IT!

Man, if only we'd invested in renewables and electric vehicles as a country, this would make us look thoughtful and strategic.

Oh, wait. We did. Then a bunch of racist twats voted for a Fascist because they didn't like the thought that a Black lady was smarter than them.

Us New York Upstaters gotta stick together!
