AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

Inventor of the microwave: This machine will cook dinner faster than a stove or oven.

Consumer: How hot does the food get?

I: Very hot, like the surface of the sun.

C: Oh wow, that’s incre–

I: But only some of it.

C: Come again?

I: The rest stays frozen.

I wish these dipshits actually read history, instead of just watching 300.

They might know that the Spartans were outnumbered 2:1 by their Eros-worshiping Thespian allies, who ALSO stood and fought to the death, without being from a despotic slave state.

I just dropped my car off for repairs and got a loaner. I drive a 2016 they gave me a 2026. I don’t know how anything works. They may as well have given me a spaceship.

Learn to love yourself as much as fascists love famous historical losers.

Honestly, I don't care how you will vote. Vote or don't vote for whoever you want. It is your right. Withhold your vote for whatever reason you want. I don't care.

We will get the government we get. I have very little say in it and I have limited time left to live under whatever government it is.

American culture of the 1840’s would have been *very fucking surprised* to see the Irish considered as co-founders.

Elon’s an ahistorical dipshit, but its always worth saying some stuff out loud: if youβ€˜re a fellow Irish-American and you aren’t 100% pro-immigrant, you’re a fucking embarassment.

One reason online discussion of violent versus nonviolent resistance gets so heated is that people often understand it as "do the bastards deserve to die (circle yes or no)" when that's actually an orthogonal question to the question of "how do you wear down a larger, more powerful regime"

Yeah, the ones in this area are very big on social justice and have already been active in support of immigrants, so I knew that when ICE started an operation in a nearby city that things were about to get interesting.

I keep thinking about this, and the parable of the Sheep and the Goats. The Goats, to whom God says β€œDepart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire”, just failed to feed the hungry. They did not lead the hungry to food, burst out laughing, and say: Ha ha ha, this is for us.

We've invented an amazing new thing, prison for kids. It's like prison, but for kids.

It’s hilarious they think the cia will do less bad stuff without USAID. They only got rid of the good stuff!

Fluffy gray tabby asleep on his back, curled in a comma position- with his magnificent tail sweeping up around him, and the very slimmest crescent of pink tongue poking out past his solitary fang.

The Mennonites I know take their pacifism seriously. About as far from American evangelicals as you can get.

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

american culture is and has always been hybrid and cosmopolitan. you do not get to claim the blues for white nationalism you piece of shit.

Zohran genuinely loves the people of his city and wants the best for them. It’s astonishing how much we’ve all been starved of that by our leaders.

i’ll end this little brainstorm by just asking what it is, exactly, that the MAGA right likes about the United States, since it explicitly rejects those things that make this nation distinctive β€” its pluralism, its revolutionary heritage and egalitarian aspirations, and its republican institutions

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.
