He used to weirdly dictate a bunch of Internet culture at the height of his Twitter account's popularity, but of course that died along with his first term

I have been released from Bluesky prison (servers were down)

The rest of the world is just gonna cut off the U.S. as much as they can, and no amount of apologies and reconciliation from the next Democratic administration can heal that - you fundamentally can't trust this country and its fucked-up hicks that will always vote for aggressive fascism

The ones around me are fine now, but it absolutely used to be like that - everything was dirty, dim, broken...

Twitter tells me that literally all of human society will be fixed this way

Walmart stopped looking like Kmart and wasn't crawling with Nazis in camo gear anymore, so I stopped bothering with Target

(Living in a rural area, there was also the actual serious consideration of "creepy gun-toting Republicans frequent Walmart" for many years, but again that's luckily fallen by the wayside and it feels normal in there again)

I think the only reason I ever went there was because it was a less evil corporation than Walmart, not to mention that it wasn't really gross and poorly-lit inside by comparison

Both of those points are irrelevant today because Target is even more evil, and Walmart cleaned up their stores!

I don't think they would outright deny them at this time, only because it's potentially risky to provoke this American government when they're actively bombing another country for fun

I'm thinking of what all the normal staff at the Departments of State and Defense must have been screaming at the White House, and how all of it was ignored

There are at least 10,000 Amcits in Qatar alone, and the US government is saying we are on our own

All American politics is secretly about porn and abortion

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

So yeah, we shouldn't be here in the first place, but in their infinite wisdom, they left a long and well-documented list of high-priority targets for anyone who wanted regime change there

I did a deep dive a couple days ago on their leadership structure (since I hadn't read about it before), and it's a hilarious spaghettified mess of corrupt councils and institutions that check each other, ultimately ending with the Supreme Leader having total control

A clever American administration would try to steer that sale if they somehow ended up in this situation to begin with... so yeah, we're screwed there

Just like the 2024 election, you all seem to think that staying on the sidelines and sitting on your hands is the correct choice because you don't directly involve your pure self, even though "neutrality" is absolutely its own choice and never actually impartial

Non-zero chance his brain gets cryogenically frozen, and we quite literally get stuck with him forever once he can be rebuilt into a mechanical neural network

I remain vindicated on my theory that 75% of the country genuinely likes Trump and his policy goals, but less than half of them want to admit it

"I want an example! Oh that doesn't count"

"I choose neither!", I say in the middle of the fray right before a thousand missiles land on my cranium

The point of their "leftism" is that it's perceived as edgy, not because they care about policy otherwise

a man in a superman costume is sticking his tongue out . ALT: a man in a superman costume is sticking his tongue out .

Nothing says grim, lifeless grayscale and depression like... Superman?

It feels like winning a bet

I *barely* even remember it, but I think my takeaway was "this felt like two hours of angry leadup to a movie, not a movie itself"

The Phantom Menace is (no joke) my least favorite movie ever - it's genuinely bizarre how it failed on literally every aspect of filmmaking that exists... hell, even the John Williams score didn't land, because the horrible editing included the particularly awful sound editing, and it was too sparse

I would never have known it either unless I read about it years ago, it is a good avatar tbf

Wow am I glad that I unfollowed this account after the vibes turned rancid (and the comics dried up anyway)

[Insert famous blurry Jack Nicholson PFP Twitter account here] stays mad that you subtweet more accurately and humorously than he can these days

When you put it like this, it makes me realize that their strategy is the same as Trump's in Iran lmfao
