Cranky Elephant

Idaho MAGA state rep is going to try to ban same-sex marriage in the state and get SCOTUS to overturn it. Bye bye civil rights. Elections are going to have nasty consequences. Everyone who sat out and is appalled by this should have voted. 🤷🏾‍♂️

So REI getting rid of their “experiences” business which taught cool classes to the public is so lame and pathetic. They could have raised the cost of coop membership or make it an annual add on. But no, just get rid of something that brings the community together. That’s definitely the answer!

Well LA Trump/MAGA voters do you wish you now had incoming President Harris with deep knowledge of LA and its needs ready to marshal all federal resources to help or the smooth brained moron talking about smelt fish. (And no don’t you dare talk about the electoral college.)

Funny how Meta was through with politics right up until President Sh-tforBrains takes office and now they just love politics and want to make sure it’s in our faces. Nice, thanks fellas.

If you want a single cause explanation for widespread layoffs afoot you could blame one man: Jensen Huang. He huckster sold so many NVIDIA chips that he completely blew a hole in the finances of Fortune 50 and now CFOs are going to demand the cuts to balance budgets, which will come from workers.

KCAL meterologist just said there hasn't been 0.1 inches of rain in LA since May. W.T.F. 😳

What an obnoxious take (the entire throat clearing part). People outside Meta who have been sounding the alarm for years are “reading too much into things” “blatantly wrong” or “self serving.” God I swear Meta people AND its alumni are so insufferable.

What’s happening in North Carolina is state institutional collapse. I don’t know how else to describe what the GOP is doing there. It’s not a constitutional crisis. It’s the collapse of constitutional governance.

Terrifying in LA along the PCH

How a Saudi royal crushed his rivals in a 'shakedown' at the Ritz-Carlton Royals and others held at the luxury hotel after a Nov. 4, 2017, roundup were subjected to extortion, psychological abuse and torture, U.S. officials say.

These billionaires don’t know what they are doing. Trump and his goons are planning something similar now that they’ve seen how easy it was to get the inauguration fund check. LINK 👇🏽 2/4

Folks if you don’t think that Trump knows about the time MBS in Saudi Arabia locked all his richest rivals in an hotel and tortured them to hand over their companies to them, well then you need to catch up. 1/4

Having read a lot about the fall of Weimar and rise of deranged Nazi clownery 1925-32 got bad news about how the elite business leaders are behaving compared to the Nazi German industrialists, people. 🙁

I’m mentally prepared that starting January 20 not a single thing the federal government says or does can be trusted to be true anymore. Like every number could be a lie.
Trump II has one core value: he’ll report whatever he wants to report. He decides what reality is himself.

in fact, that's almost guaranteed to happen. be where you need to but don't wrap yourself in goodness. our comms platforms are controlled by the worst people imaginable. that's reality.

my feeling is democrats etc. shouldn't start a platform war to kick of trump's reign of terror. i'd say use them all to reach as many people as possible. there is nothing stopping blue sky from being sold to a right wing billionaire.

trump wants to rename the gulf of mexico? cool, you deserve "grandpa sh_t for brains", you voted for this you clowns.

okay new year, more effort. trying to post in both threads and bluesky. i don't have an axe to grind just want to shoot the shit with people :)

i am no big fan of sheryl sandberg but it's clear that she was holding him back. that said, i come not to praise her but to bury her. if she doesn't join facebook maybe it collapses into a puddle of 4chan goo instead of becoming the most powerful corporate panopticon in world history.

Guessing many feel the same: I don’t want to hear him treated with respect. I will not willingly listen to his odious lies and brazen nonsense spoken to me ever again. The media has a serious problem on its hands.

Haven’t listened to NPR in weeks and we’re sitting at a family breakfast on a trip and decide “eh let’s listen to it in the background while we have coffee.” First literal thing I hear - mind you haven't heard it in weeks - is the guy’s whiny BS lying ass voice. Click off.

So coach pep talk:
The Harris-Walz rallies were real. Sustainable. Organic. They happened. You saw it with your own eyes. This was real solidarity. MAGA is a dying movement. It's ideology of fraud and deceit put on credit cards that are going to be maxxed out in the next 2 years. Don't give in.

As a Texans fan I would like to cry that we lost on 2 0:00 FGs to Detroit and Green Bay. Feels like we got a little overexcited. Are Texans an easy possible first round or a team that showed some green shoots against the most complete team in the NFL?

It's gonna take me some time to figure this all out, but thanks for following 🙂
