Fatal Swan

it's fascinating to watch Costco lap every one of these clowns because they have the only CEO in America who still thinks his job is to run a company that does business and not be the main character of life forging his personal legacy with one eye on the group chat to see if they're impressed yet

Trump's mass deportations really are a Forever War. It'll take 3 presidential terms at current pace. The prison camps are a new carceral state. It has its own growing public-private bureaucracy: Contractors, mercenary army, etc. 6/

Incredible PR from USA hockey attaching themselves to the hip of old man at 65% disproval, very smart

What the fuck

The year is 2137. Earth's three remaining creatures fight over a scrap of ragweed in what was, before The Event, a Best Buy parking lot. Realizing the he will lose, Creature 3 turns to his diary. "The Atlantic: President Trump, softer tone?" he writes. These are the last word's written on Earth 1.

Wow I can’t believe the guy with a Nazi tattoo is a bigot

US women's ice hockey team decline State of the Union invite, reports say The U.S. women's ice hockey team that beat rivals Canada for gold at the Milano Cortina Olympics have declined an invitation to attend President Donald Trump's State of the Union address in Washington this week citing schedule conflicts, according to multiple reports on Monday.

Mamdani is the NYT’s Bitch Eating Crackers, in other words

Remarkable: Trump has achieved the distinction of being a Republican president who's deeply unpopular on *both* the economy *and* immigration. Those are traditional GOP strengths, and he's thrown away both of them.

Trumpism is a catastrophic failure.

One unabashed generational prejudice that I do have is against zoomer TikTok euphemism speak. ‘Unalive’, ‘SAed’, and ‘grape’. Fuck you. Talk like a goddamn adult.

Most of them are MAGA so

for those who don’t know, being hamfisted like this is basically the only way you can preserve your message through via local media. They will cut it all out every time. I have seen it happen half a dozen times in the 3 months I have been organizing, they will edit you into saying both sides.

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

This is a CONSISTENT problem with this crew. If all Trump wanted to do was slap his name on stuff and design buildings, noxious as it is, many fewer people would be dead, impoverished, and victimized!

not to start this discourse again but if the goal is to be influential — rather than just post — then you need to grab a mic and turn on your front facing camera

Yes, hence the word “if.”

I just realized. I was going to be extremely disturbed that you somehow got through law school with such terrible reading comprehension skills.

Maybe if you don’t understand context and try to completely twist the meaning of my words to try to win an argument, sure. Love how you’re trying to make me seem racist though, that’s cool. You sure you’re a lawyer?

So what about all of the Black people in the room who aren’t Michael B Jordan? Including the man next to him who you conveniently ignored?

Good thing I didn’t suggest that he be refused attendance then.

I’ve made my stance clear and you’re just ignoring it and saying unrelated things which is fine but I’m not gonna engage further

There were more Black people in the room sweetie.

Do you think the harm of being called the n word is mitigated by being rich? Do you think he personally feels less attacked because of the fact that he has a lot of money? Bc if so that’s fucking stupid

Idk how to tell you this but MBJ wasn’t the only person who heard the slur.

What about all of the other Black people who had to hear that? What about their personal level of privilege? It was fucking broadcast on TV! You think that doesn’t cause harm to everyone who heard it? You’re totally lost on this one.

We’re absolutely leaving the oppression hierarchy in Woke 1.0. Absolutely not gonna engage in that dumb ass shit with you or anyone else.

Idk how to help you understand then
