Seems like a thing more people should be mad about

Welcome! It’s a different kind of annoying here, but it isn’t a Nazi porn app so that’s a plus

Bluesky: this is an illegal and immoral war

Instagram: this is an illegal and immoral war

X, the everything app: this is not Jim Carey!

I just wanna catch my fish, drink my beer, bomb Iran, so on and so forth

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Because while doing coke on a private jet on your way back from the Olympics technically makes you more alert, it’s not the same thing

lol that is the question

We are fucked

Salesperson just knocked on our door at 8pm on a Friday. I am irate.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

I can’t think of anything less essential to watch than this year’s SOTU

It’s good, folks!

Every time I see Sam Altman, I'm wondering why he isn't dogged with questions about the allegations that he sexually abused his younger sister. Content warning for this bit of context, because it describes abuse from a very young age:

The group think is so pathetic

Wake me when he’s completing more than 60.3% of his passes

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

Dennis nedry jurrasic park "see nobody cares" meme reads Hey everybody, this guy still posts on X! See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

“I’d get a kick out of it”

Having lived in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and New Mexico, yes.

The vast majority of music made up until this point of human history was made by working class people and pretending otherwise is bullshit

The framing of a strange billionaire’s brain fart as “JUST IN” is how I know our species is doomed

Yep!

This is helpful AND at the same time I’m just going to marinate on the phrase “ad-free weather” for a while

Ethical is the wrong word, it should be free if you need it. But you get my meaning

Huge point. The US “we’ll let you charge whatever you want” market is used by drug companies to recoup what they see as missing revenue from all those pesky “we’ll only let you charge an ethical amount” countries.

Lmaooo

The thing about Traitors is everyone thinks they’ll be good at it, and almost nobody actually is.

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

The year is 2045. Nurse is the only job left. It has been hastily retconned to a male coded job and every nurse now wears tactical combat gear and has a gun.
