4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one.

The problem is that some status professions, like journalism, are actually load bearing. It doesn't matter if fashion houses or tv studios are just nepotism factories. It absolutely matters if the people covering the Presidency got their jobs because they were good at the top 10%er circle jerk.

Oligarchy is corrosive, it is undemocratic and it is ruinous to a nation's prosperity.

But most of all, oligarchy is very stupid.

The only way we will win a better world is not only leftism for America, but internationalism. “Researchers who have anything to do with China should have their careers ended” is a bipartisan position, and it can’t be anymore. If we live in a fragmented world, it will burn in our lifetime

everyone gets so mad at the mods here for doing basic mod shit. sometimes you gotta make a little murder joke and eat a three day ban for it. that’s life baby, there’s beauty in that.

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

So I guess the idea is that Ghislaine Maxwell got transferred to a country club prison that someone with her sentence would never go to and gets all sorts of perks but that’s completely coincidental, that just happened unrelatedly

petro is so beast

trumps administration is the largest looting of the working class funneled up to the wealthy in history

Think of your favorite celebrity, whether they’re an actor, musician, athlete, whatever.

They’re probably pretty well-off, financially. But they are still closer to auctioning off their possessions to cover medical bills than they are to being a billionaire.

8 years of "What is a woman?" and now it turns out that the comeback was "define a child"

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

Saruman telling Gandalf, "Your love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed your mind." Response post: "never forget when saruman literally told gandalf 'you've been smoking too much weed bro'" Counter-response: "You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

Do they even still have groupies or is do you have to be an influencer to get felt up by a drummer these days?

Idk how she feels about it but I loved those

I think the absolute most famous is all the people who know Debbie Reynolds first and foremost as the grandma in Halloween Town

The whole ruling class loves Pedophile Finance Guy, a lovely Finance Guy that molests children! *two decades later* We regret to inform you the Finance Guy is a Pedophile

Like "yeah, I'm gay but I'll still fulfill the social function you want from me" relax

A fun niche beef I have are the gay men that feel the need to go on and on about how beautiful they still find women even though they're gay. Reads as essentially begging forgiveness for being gay.

a lot of these people try to spin their retrograde attitudes about gender as a form of women's empowerment by appealing to the idea that femininity has been undervalued. but they don't want to elevate the status of femininity, they just want women to be more feminine so they can undervalue them

Remember if these people were worried about their careers or whatever, they could always say nothing. But instead they say stuff like this, and these defenses should haunt them.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Right now, Karoline Leavitt is being coached on how to say “ephebophilia” in the least creepy way possible.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

I never want to wait for a post credit scene again for the rest of my life. If you want me to think it's part of the movie, put it in the movie.

White people have resented every minute that has passed aince reconstruction and it bears out in how they talk about the rest of us

I too love how the French are always ready to riot at a moments notice, but sometimes the "why aren't we like this" discourse irks me

I dunno, have you noticed they can spray liquid cow shit at a gov building w/o five cops immediately trying to beat them to death? Maybe that's a factor.
