i hate to be the “both sides” guy about trump’s incoherency but please don’t forget that aoc said “uh”

mr president your economy seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. why are you so popular

I am sorry but this is still the core problem with trying to parse anything he says about tariffs.

Who is the fucking person who asked if the Supreme Court justices were still “invited” to “your” State of the Union.

What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT QUESTION??

THE COUNTRY IS NOT ONE GIANT FUCKING COCKTAIL PARTY!!!

Said it before and I'll say it again: A real problem with the legal profession's cultural norm of venerating the Supreme Court is that the legal profession never contemplated that there might someday be a justice as dumb as Brett Kavanaugh on it

I become more and more convinced that the AI is just right wing class war and the lack of white collar worker organisation due having been flattered for years as geniuses and fed like farm geese has just led to a colossal lack of awareness of the class interests going on.

it’s so cool everything is either a scam or designed to take away human rights or both now

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

Choosing not to rerack your weights is Republican behavior.

for lack of other options, i am nominally a capitalist, and i think we should get back to first principles about making capital productive. any one person having tens or hundreds of billions of dollars is grossly unproductive and bad for business.

Appnesia - when I unlock my phone to do something specific and then I can’t remember what it was I was supposed to do

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

I agree, but we also have to acknowledge how many Indigenous journalists that currently exist and remain unemployed or dependent upon freelance work because of discriminatory hiring practices in newsrooms. Even when hired, Indigenous journalists have to fight to cover Indigenous beats.

Being Iranian is funny because you get selective sympathy from the right and the left based on who’s putting your family in danger at any given moment

oh you’re giving up chocolate for lent? well I’m giving up giving up for lent for lent

if you want to know why GOT is classified as high fantasy is in 7 years people were stabbed with swords about 80000 different times and there was exactly one death due to infection and it was the richest guy

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Yesterday my friend told me about her PHILOSOPHY students all using ai for their assignments and like come the fuck on man you’re in Uni doing the subject thats Thinking about Thinking and u refuse to Think

worst thing about uni students using AI for essays is that they don't even seem to be doing it so they can spend more time in the club, I'd have marginally more respect for them if their goal was to maximise their partying time, what are they even doing with the time AI frees up for them

This is absolutely true, and why, in times past places just got abandoned.

The other thing I'd add is that where an answer does exist, its often "high speed travel to big city and lots of housing", and guess what people also don't want.

A stack of pancakes

Spent the day being professionally queer, now back home being personally queer by making lots of pancakes for my husband

I'd rather eat glass.
