Update on the 45k in my account that is probably currently 39.72--got an email from Transamerica today basically like "Everything's fine! Markets go down but then they go up! Don't panic!" IDK guys, shit was fine until some asshole I didn't even vote for decided to singlehandedly tank the market

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

@TheQuartering You do NOT need the new iPad You do NOT need the new Cell Phone You do NOT need the new video game console You WANT them There is a big difference and if you look at the people whining about the tariffs I challenge you to ask them how their lives have been affected in any way

These are the same people that were willing to let their grandparents die so they could eat at Arby's again without a mask

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Really glad the 45k in my already meager retirement account (I started a Real Job late in life) is probably worth about 39.72 right now.

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

At least the rich guys around the turn of the 20th built libraries and stuff as extracurriculars. The guys today seem largely focused on being upset that some people find them obnoxious

I'm about to ask my provider to prescribe me morphine or cocaine like they did back in the 1880s to cope with today's life. I bet someone from 1885 wouldn't give a FUCK about anything going on now because they had Mr Beeton's Magic Bumping Bravery Tonic that was 80% opium and 20% alcohol.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 it's so true

Did you know Velveeta was invented in 1918? I did not. I thought such a thing could only be a product of the 60s or 70s.

Ah shit it turns out the problem with conservatism is that conservatives are all evil

In my side quest to make as much money as I can in case I need to leave this place, I'm considering selling feet pics. My hustle will not be stopped and SOMEONE out there has to appreciate these gnarly gunboats I have. Maybe that person is just trolling Feet Finder, waiting for my arrival. 🤣

I share a lot of serious stuff on here. Let's have something absurd here at the end of the Republic.

a brown and black brindle puppy and a small grey wolf pup stand nose to nose in a room full of straw. they curiously sniff each other. an inset photo of the fuzzy grey wolf pup sitting up and looking over to her left.

An orphaned wolf pup named Amora has been paired with a rescue puppy named Slinky. Amora needs socialization to develop properly and Slinky is happy to provide it. Sedgwick County Zoo shared that "Slinky’s playful nature is helping her grow into the wolf she is meant to be." 13/10 for both

LMAO fuckin losers

I sure wish I had as few brain cells as Chumby. So unbothered. It must be so peaceful.

Please stop calling your elected representatives. They’re very old and very confused, and it does them no good to get all riled up

Holy shit a plane from Wichita just ran into a helicopter in DC. It was one of those little regional jets we often get because we're a smaller airport. It crashed into the Potomac; doesn't sound good.

Updates from the Maruchan ramen universe: Creamy Chicken sucks now, which is supremely disappointing (formerly best flavor); Picante Chicken emerges as new frontrunner of best flavor. Chili, is, as ever, a solid contender. I will not be taking questions at this time.

I feel like this crab today. Small, bewildered, spiky.
