as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

Are you cybersecurity aware now? You may not have been before this month...

40%. Of the whole economy. The AI crash is going to make 2008 look like an adorable little economic speedbump

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

Ugh, I think I'm about 10 years out from managing the same sort of issues for my parents, who like to stick their head in the sand about health and life issues as well. From all I've ever seen of you, you are the opposite of your dad in how you treat others. Good on you Sean.

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️

They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside.

No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡

And people stop caring before truth hits

Hot off the modern-day presses...

Reagan judges are comparing ICE to the KKK

Judge Young is a Reagan appointee, by the way.

Oh, I think we could start a club of needing/wanting people to be different 😭Hang in there!

Shut up, I was posting to mobile 🤣 Eric can tell you about how I have had the bad habit for a while.

It took 179 hours and three failed tries, but I finally beat Baldur's Gate on Hounor mode, (and for the first time too)! The Golden dice are finally mine!

One of the most important pillars of fascism is the erosion of the public’s confidence in established institutions.

When reputable media outlets frame fascist propaganda like this, they’re doing the work of fascism.

Dis Belief Surprised GIF Alt: Weebay scratches his chin in realization.

A lot of companies are not "pro-fascism" or "anti-fascism." They are "pro-making-more-money."🤷🏿‍♂️

Companies do face consequences for opposing fascism. If they can be pro-fascism and face no consequence? Then there is a perverse incentive to be pro-fascism.

You *help* them by balancing the scales.🤯

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Donald Trump is a senile old codger, standing before the United Nations, reading a speech clearly written by an alt right lunatic and a bunch of oil and gas lobbyists. Well done, U.S. voters. You really fucked this one up.

Not sure what to do for dinner today? PancakesCon has you covered!

Nothing to see here, nothing but corruption and incompetency for miles...

I can raise math, English and science scores in a district more by offering free breakfast and lunch, than by banning cell phones.

But one feels like punishment and blaming bad, lazy, kids, and the other requires acknowledging adults' role in creating a dystopian environment not ideal for learning.

This is how it’s done, folks. (NSFW in that it quotes the sitting president and related words.)

The kids are alright maybe?

My new rallying cry 💪

/2 Also: “I don’t care about the constitution or the rule of law because my feelings are hurt” is a very modern American conservative sentiment.

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

Being able to print a replacement Xbox controller battery cover leaves me feeling like a god!

Turns out thin-skinned is strongly associated with being rich, white, and fascist, who knew...

As the man who made All the President’s Men, how did you feel when Nixon died? I had no remorse. I did not think he deserved the kudos he got in death — there was this weird revisionism that went on. You feel for the family. There’s some sympathy for that. But for me it was not the passing of a great man. He was a man who dealt us some pretty undignified blows. He did not symbolize the better part of ourselves at all.

Robert Redford on Richard Nixon's death. Not much changes, I guess.

Goddamn. You can’t even have principles and make ice cream because people are too afraid of Trump
