I just feel like if you say "system doesn't matter" and you're a game designer I don't know how I'm expected to ever take your games seriously.

A new report last week stated that the average age for a first time home owner is now 40. Life expectancy in the US in 2023 was 78.39 years.

A 50 year mortgage means no average person would own their homes ever. It turns homes into direct rentals from the bank even more than they already are.

And the worst part is, Elon's car actually looks like the 1994 classic JCVD action flick Timecop.

CVS is best thought of as a kind of interactive museum exhibit where you can experience everything that has gone badly wrong with American capitalism.

And if not for COVID, the prices would already have been this high. Remember, the fight here (that dems conceded on) was for a temporary stopgap measure from COVID.

Cis people: I know you don't give a fucking shit whether we live or die but whatever they do to trans people, THEY WILL ALSO DO TO CIS PEOPLE. So do something before you have to start caring.

But OUR billionaires making billions on the backs of underpaid workers are actually pro-communist! So it's different!

For those unaware, influencer Naomi Wu has basically been radio silent for two years because the Chinese police threatened her to silence her criticisms. There's a lot of evidence Elon was involved.

Because when I think communism, I think "letting Elon Musk call the shots in your country."

I'm sure we'll all be told this is imperialist propaganda to make China look bad and ACTUALLY they very much like uwu smol bean tankies and don't openly oppress queer people.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our countryโ€™s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isnโ€™t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

LESS. THAN. A. WEEK.

Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop.

Iโ€™m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

I love how the responses are all โ€œpeople will push back because theyโ€™re too stupid to get it.โ€

No. I get it. And once I got it, I didnโ€™t want it.

How fucking patronizing.

Wait the guy who told us to inject bleach and take ivermectin and then hired someone to tell us not to take vaccines, who ran a child sex trafficking ring, who is willy-nilly shooting boats off the Venezuelan coast and taking kids from their parents, is withholding money to feed his citizens?

When a Dick Durbin makes some remark about people โ€œnot understanding how the senate worksโ€ I laugh and laugh because:
1. The senate doesnโ€™t work. Not facetious. Itโ€™s rules are so bad that most everything functional is an exception.
2. What works is old rich folks collaborating.
3. Oh, we understand

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Anti-Electoralists vindicated once again about the futility of harm reduction via legitimation of bourgeois democracy with representatives whose material interests are diametrically opposed to your own interests.

I basically came to say this. Thereโ€™s no solution from within the system.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. Itโ€™s about peopleโ€™s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
