JLaw, not Trisolaran

Some professors at the University of St. Thomas are doing a research project on the effects of the ICE occupation on Twin Cities parents. They're looking for parents who are US citizens, who live in the Twin Cities metro area, and who have kids ages 5-10.

Thanks I hate it

A picture of Marco Rubio shoes that are too large for him

I’m a grown man who works for the president of the United States who is afraid to not wear the shoes he bought me that do not fit

MORE.TALMUD.JOKES!

PANEL 1: A FRIEND showing MATTIE a big canvas. FRIEND: Hey check out this art i bought. I think it's incredible. MATTIE: Uhh. What is it? PANEL 2: reverse shot, you can see it's just an enormous black dot on a canvas. FRIEND: It's the aggregate of all human creative output, in the totality of recorded history, averaged out and then printed on this canvas! PANEL 3: Shot from panel 1. MATTIE just kind of stares at the friend. FRIEND: I can see you think I'm stupid. Would an IDIOT spend 14 billion dollars on it? Hmm? FRIEND: Would an IDIOT have been MOVED TO TEARS by this? PANEL 4: Same shot, two people walk by, looking amazed. P1: Wow, the computers are getting so good! P2: We'll be replaced any day now!

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

It's the Oldest House, from Control. The inside absolutely does not match the outside.

I'm pretty sure this thing is where you go when you want to communicate with an enormous, scary black triangle entity

Democrats are going to fund and support this war. Like every enabling and collaborative stunt they pull, this is yet another opportunity to recognize they aren’t an opposition party but a captured group that serves the interests of the same wealth and oligarchical classes as the Republicans.

Literally anyone in the next two years. Not a done deal. If the DNC yeets us another uncaring bastard, the party needs to be dynamited.

I'll say this - if you're not in one of like four states, that's not an option until there's one candidate.

Pick a good candidate. Ghouls need not apply

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

we used to have Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash, Bob Hope, Mike Pensions, Gary Literacy, Pete Socialsafetynet,

Seriously, that's like rule #1 for Mets fans. WE WILL BOO THE SHIT OUT OF YOU IF YOU PLAY JANKY. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY GUYS, WHY ARE YOU SUCKING SHIT

and the people online will be like, ah, you're a Yankees fan.

NO. I just don't need to waste my time more loudly hating a team I hate.

I like when I answer truthfully that I voted for Clinton in '16, Biden in '20, and Harris in '24, and people lose their minds calling me a liar because they can't imagine someone would do that and have criticism for individual Democrats and the party as a whole.

I think it just moves his asshole timeline back a bit.

Whatever follows him will be milquetoast because a fucking turd seems like a better option. We'll probably get the turd.

I use my local votes to attempt to get what I want. Sometimes it even works.

Being a leftist - to me - means thinking much more carefully about my many Black and brown neighbors versus my own principles. And sometimes, I have to ignore the later to show care for the former.

I mostly tell them that to fuck off.

Swing state = harm reduction for the folks who live there.

I hate that I have no *real, realistic* choice.

actually that is precisely what a candidate's job is.

If you somehow manage to lose every swing state, that's not a voter problem, that's a losing campaign problem

I voted for her in my swing state, as did every one of my friends who had identical problems with her. Shall you scold us?

my most pollyanna trait is that i love things like the olympics and the world baseball classic bc they show how much more we all have in common

FYI... NEW CANDIDATE in ME Senate race...

Dexerto @Dexerto A woman has been arrested after breaking into a home to eat cereal and pet the homeowner's dog Police say Teara Joann Smith was caught in the kitchen eating Fruity Pebbles

Trying to get this high

Yeah, being radicalized at 16 by Bush v Gore, followed not long after by 9/11 (the beginning of my senior year - I'm a downstate New Yorker, too, so some of my friends lost family members) followed by the disgusting jingoism and fucking awful war and and and

this fuckin' sucks man

Does he have to dress like a chef all the time everywhere he goes, like the Mandalorian of gastronomy

This is the kind of critical AI literacy practice that I'd like to see make its way into schools. It's not about how to best use this or that product; it's about mapping systems of power.
