This is the last straw.

As someone who recently joined reddit out of boredom to see what all the hype is about: can confirm. What a toxic space.

The party of small government and “you can’t trust the government” are really going to bat for…*checks notes*…the AI surveillance state. Never ceases to amaze me.

Also…wow…this is a special kind of dystopian:

The process of buying a car is so miserable that I’m kind of hoping I’ll just die before I have to do it again.

Return to bloodletting and leeches in US medicine in 5…4…3…

Wall-E depicted a dystopia where humans were mindless near-vegetables consuming 24-hours a day, and the earth had been turned into a planet-sized junkyard. But the robot had a funny voice so I guess that’s the future we want for ourselves.

Little did they realize that all the iconic nightclubs they referenced in the song would be replaced by luxury condos and Santanders.

“How y’all comrades doin’?”

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based.

Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Obfuscation and overcomplicating are good ways to make americans disengage.

Hey @reptedlieu.bsky.social, would you condemn Sweden’s government? Norway’s? Germany’s? Spain’s? The UK? These are all countries with strong democratic socialist governments.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

A dumbass electorate breeds dumbass politicians.

More and more I can’t help but feel that America and I have drifted apart.

Less than 11 months in office, folks.

Our system is completely broken because it relies on two parties acting in good faith, and it has NO contingencies should one party decide to act in bad faith. I have to laugh at the pie-in-the-sky lessons we received in school about the USA’s vaunted “checks and balances.”

Republicans: We hate big government!

Also Republicans: You will dress as we say or we will send you to an el salvadorian prison with no trial.

My question for the terfs/right is: Why do you call Tilly Norwood “she/her?”

Have you seen the cabinet? It’s Hitlers all the way down!

Me trying to decide if this is real or a joke:

I always confuse this and My Mother the Car. I think just because they both have “car” in the name. (I have seen neither, but they appear to be nothing alike.)

Obvious response: Well then out of deep respect, allow me to call you a fascist liar honestly and to your face.

Left is this photo, and right is google maps from 2024…

Did someone paint over the dark spot by the door, but not the two dark spots below that? Also door paint looks completely different, and not because it looks like someone painted it.

Short answer : No.

Long answer: Noooooooo.

🎶He shall beeee Leeee-von!🎵

This is like MAGA types asking “what if Clinton is in the files?!?” Uh…first, they think Clinton is someone I will feel bad if something (else) awful comes out about him? Hilarious. But second, if he’s shown to be involved in sex trafficking even tangentially, we will be fine without him. Fuck him.

I used to be all-in on the skeptic movement back in…I don’t even remember…was it the late aughts? Well anyway I drifted away thanks to the weirdly toxic reaction to Watson’s whole “elevatorgate” incident. Now this comes out and it seems like my instincts were justified. Absolutely amazing.

Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight.

By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.
