Why does it cost $100 to go outside

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

People did warn me when I was younger to pursue high-paying fields, and I always shrugged them off. I thought, “I’m not a materialistic person, I don’t want to live in luxury—I’ll be fine making a modest salary. Money’s not important to me.”

Turns out you need a shitload of money just to be broke.

the entirety of the united states economy is a debt-based economy

And AI? Slaves. The desire for android workers from the billionaire class? Slaves. Sex worker disenfranchisement? Slaves. Worker slaves, sex slaves, soldier slaves - AI slaves.

America is the Land of Chains, the Charnel Nation, the Ties that Bind Your Soul to Your Hands. The Slave Empire.

The reason we don't have socialized healthcare is because America hates black people. The reason we don't have UBI is because America hates black people. The reason our cops are like this and the reason we have prison slavery is because we never finished Reconstruction. America never stopped slavery

ok who did this? ☹️

Someone needs to ask one of these clowns if someone can hate Trump and love their country. Isn't that possible? Fucking cult.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Anyone rapturing?

We really can’t understate the psychic toll of knowing that the United States government is trying to kill as many people as possible

Bring back the mini and stop amplifying fascism.

Crockett: "If I had one issue with the Biden/Harris administration, it is the fact that they did not move forward and make sure that this man was put where he should've been put ... I never had a defended that had 34 convictions for felonies and did not spend one day in jail. Never in my life."

In our fictional dystopia for NIN’s “Year Zero,” Hollywood had been destroyed and rebuilt in Florida where it was strictly regulated by the state & overseen by Evangelical groups, so news was state propaganda and entertainment was sanitized pro-Christian content approved by the US Bureau of Morality

Fallon being the last man standing is such an indictment of Fallon

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

do something

Kash Patel in Monday's underwear, panic stricken and knocking over empty beer cans, googling "how to find murder suspect"

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

To spell some shit out unambiguously: fascism requires domestic abuse to propagate itself. Demands it. There is no way to humanely teach your children that might makes right. There is no way to gently love a spouse you think is your genetic intellectual inferior.

These are inextricably linked.

I never want to see "Trailer starts now" before a trailer ever again.

Two weeks ago I was due for my Covid booster, right as the guidelines were changing unscientifically. I logged into the CVS app to see if I could slip through, but the Covid vaccine had already been removed entirely as an option. And after over 5 protected years I just now get Covid. I’m pissed.

JAMES BOND (Tom Holland): (into smart watch) Alexa, I need your help! I can’t get into the Amazon fulfillment centre to save the Prime Minister! There’s a large group of pro-union protestors blocking the way!
MILF YOUNGLY (Lauren Sanchez): Perhaps I could be of service, Mr. Bond. I am 24 years old.

One of the greatest mistakes in this country’s history was the Union not going full Rambo on the south. Should have burned the plantations, executed the traitors, and redistributed their land to the freed slaves. Anyone who wanted to complain could take it up with a loaded musket
