twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Your power bill is going up because we need to subsidise a new data centre to train the robots to take your job, idiot.

If you want to end monopoly, you must want to end capitalism. You cannot have capitalism without its tendencies towards monopolization and concentration of wealth. It is a fantasy that has never existed.

a few small beers

Despite everything I still have fundamental faith in the American people turning this around and making things better.

Fuck this. Fuck everything. Burn it all down. [drinks directly from tequila bottle]

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Tom Homan took a bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent the right way.

by Ezra Klein

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

these people are genuinely idiots

We broke up the banks. We broke up the railroads.
We broke up the steel companies.

We can break up the media conglomerates. We can break up the tech conglomerates.

We've done it before. We can do it again.

lol new clown car just rolled up

article at The Argument written by @jerusalem.bsky.social titled "Yeah we're going to have to do DEI for conservatives." Dek: "The editor-in-chief of The Federalist wants more ideological diversity in universities. I agree."

Let's check in with The Argument, the magazine pitched as a "group of left-leaning writers and journalists... arguing in favor of what liberalism is for, rather than just what it’s against."

Oh.

Chuck Schumer: How about we give you everything you want in exchange for nothing

Thune: not good enough, chuck

Side-by-side images of Banksy’s mural on the Royal Courts of Justice in London. On the left, the artwork appears faded and scrubbed, leaving only a ghostly outline of a judge raising a gavel over a protester holding a placard. On the right, the mural is fully visible in sharp black and white stencil, showing a judge in a traditional white wig and robes striking down at a protester who defends himself with a bloodied sign.

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

regardless of what happens to the tariffs, they're doomed from the start because the average conservative holds all three of these positions at once:

— virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— against increasing the minimum wage
— buys foreign imports because they're cheap

Ahaha it's the inside of my head every day! Almost exactly this.

"We have enough for everyone! Stop being such hateful fucks! Whyyyy!"
