I had no emotional stake in this race but these people seem determined to make me like this guy

Hell of a time of year to be a Sweaty Guy with a job that precludes wearing shorts

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them theonion.com/democra...

I don’t live in NYC so I don’t have a stake in this at all but it’s wild to me that Dems are always like “how do we demonstrate an authentic connection with voters” and then a guy like this shows up and does it and the establishment immediately is like “no no no not like that”

“Kamala would have bombed Iran too and you’d be fine with it” do these people hear themselves?

If I had a nickel for every time in my life that a Republican president claimed a nation in the Middle East was developing weapons of mass destruction which necessitated a preemptive military strike I would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s crazy that it happened twice

I’m sure THIS TIME the war in the Middle East against an entrenched regime waged by short-sighted clowns will be different

“America is directly involved in military actions against a nation in the Middle East that it is claiming is actively developing a weapon of mass destruction”

A person who identifies as a Christian begging for a Catholic Bishop to assure them that they are a good person because deep down they know they aren’t is a bit on the nose

I just feel bad John McCain isn’t alive to see us go to war with Iran. Gone too soon.

Imagine how cringey all those professionally online right-wing people would have been about Freedom Fries

Videos like this are proof that all those Matrix-style stories are bullshit. Humanity isn’t going to war with the machines. Humanity will be immediately duped into welcoming the machines because humanity js stupid

Seems pretty fucked up that some (empty, driverless) cars getting set on fire triggered more universal media coverage and hand-wringing about the state of our political discourse than the murder and attempted murder of two elected officials

Increasingly becoming clear that AI is going to break the brains of the next generation the way social media broke ours

this is moon man talk because tf is an “overseer agent”

My daughter after her third big swig of water at lunch

Solidarity to all my friends out in the streets today, but I have to say sitting on the floor and playing blocks with my daughter was easily the best way to spend Saturday after this shitty week

Dude on the right looks like Farva

So with this Minnesota thing, just so I’m clear, the cops are saying that if a cop is at your door, you might want to call the cops

Are they having “No Kings” rallies in the fucking UK??

I hate it when he’s genuinely funny

The only reason for these kinds of deportations is to be an asshole. It’s not good for anyone and it doesn’t help anything. In fact it’s BAD for the community. They are deporting him to prove a very stupid point, which makes them assholes

We gotta end this myth that billionaires are geniuses

I’m just sad John McCain didnt get to live long enough to see bombs in Iran one last time

Donald Trump will stop the wars! Also he’s powerless to stop the wars! It’s awesome! He can do everything! He also can’t stop anything bad! We’re fine! I’m fine! You’re fine too!

I mean at least they didn’t shoot the senator. Given where it’s all at right now it feels like we should focus on the silver lining

“Theatre” Between this and JD’s Les Mis tweet I feel like we all know what’s going on with these guys. If you know you know

Are you going to write another letter before you melt into a pile of goo?

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

So they hate Pride but they are out here posting gay shit like this?

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Burning cars? Empty cars? Cars that are automated and owned by a billion dollar company? What’s next? A different act of disobedience that impacts no individual and destroys no personal private property??

Assault on nonviolent citizens

A lot of people whose great-grandparents threw dynamite at cops and strikebreakers are so so excited to see the National Guard shoot protestors in LA

First of all dont you dare try to make Gavin look cool

“Firing back”

Increasingly obvious that some of the biggest babies in the world are men in full body armor and tactical gear facing down 22-year-olds armed with angry shouting

“They are gonna use this an excuse to crack down harder” yeah probably but it’s not like they were using kid gloves in the first place

There’s gonna be a photo of Trump presiding over this parade that is indistinguishable from a Soviet-era image and normies will still be like “I get that you don’t like him but ‘dictator’ is extreme”
