They threw all of this at him--at all of us--for months now, it didn't work. They can keep going, they can spend the rest of their lives trapped in their hideous world of hatred and delusion, but the rest of us have long moved on because we know a better world is possible
25.06.2025 13:25 β π 214 π 24 π¬ 0 π 3Itβs so interesting that an outlet that encourages its writers to speak truth to power is flourishing in a media industry where everything else seems to be in decline. I want that to be a lesson to people. Kowtowing to powerβif your job is not that, nobody fucking wants that. It does nothing for you to pull a punch at this moment. You have to be able to stand up for a baseline of humanity. Thatβs what we do here. And Iβm glad to tell you that they never blinked. They never thought twice about it. They just always were like, βAll right, well, letβs keep doing what we do here.β
People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit.

19.05.2025 05:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The image shows a text post from a tumble user with the handle "theconcealedweapon" making an argument about the importance of protecting the rights of criminals as a safeguard against government tyranny. The post presents the following key points: If you want to prevent government tyranny, ensuring criminals have rights must be your top priority This is not meant as a joke or exaggeration Without rights for criminals, governments can simply label people as criminals to strip away their rights The post claims this has been a common tactic of tyrannical governments throughout history The post concludes that believing people who break laws should forfeit their rights is effectively supporting tyranny The argument centers on the idea that due process and legal protections for accused/convicted persons are fundamental safeguards against authoritarian government overreach.

Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down.
Fewer buyers of the worldβs safest asset.
Normally when the economy slows, thereβs a flight to safety, not away from it.
Means the world may be abandoning America.
We are flirting with a true crisis.
