this happened on wheel of fortune tonight

Notice to all corporations: if you try to pass the cost of tariffs on to me I will "pass" on buying your product. As far as I'm concerned this is a "you problem"

For many years it's been clear that the only way to get elected officials to do better was to tell them to eat shit, go fuck themselves, and stop being whiny pushovers. These people aren't your friends; they work for you, and they had better remember that.

We love the computer and hate what’s been done to it by The Bastards

This is a really good thread, and gets at something I thought immediately upon seeing the police’s statement saying there was no evidence of a hate crime: Joss’s husband’s statement is evidence.

Let’s talk for a moment about some of the more subtle ways that the press acts as a mouthpiece for law enforcement. Actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death on Sunday. I don’t know what happened; I wasn’t there. But his husband said a homophobic neighbor shot him as part of an explicit hate crime. /1

whats wild is that our political opposition is a bunch of punks who spiral out quickly if you mock them and we on the left keep operating like we're in victorian high society when we're really in the high school cafeteria and we should just shove them inside their lockers

Incredible that Democrats took the Wall Street insight ("Trump backs down from wrecking the economy so reliably you can trade on it") and turned it into the social media equivalent of trying to goad him into action by wearing a chicken suit, baiting him back into tariffs and away from the Iran Deal.

Tiresome that libs continually insist we leftists are irrelevant so they can ignore us *and also* blame us for their electoral losses. More generally: the fact that libs won internal power struggles means they own the consequences. America, the world, is as it is after you governed, not us. Own it.

he may have condemned thousands if not millions to death but you have to admit he produced a truly stupid car and is obsessed with moving to a planet where nobody hates him

Tapping the sign

Rest in peace Jonathan Joss

I think people running government agencies should have some expertise in the agencies they have been hired to run

MAGA Voter Assumed Trump Would Only Deport People On List She Mailed To White House

That's right

coming up on the ten year anniversary of my wife asking me what was making me laugh so hard i almost asphyxiated and me saying "nothing"

BREAKING: The News

I think it's easier to understand the current media environment once you understand that a whole bunch of ambitious people are looking at our descent into authoritarian oligarchy and thinking it's a great opportunity to audition as a courtier.

Whatever agency Trump voters have, we still have to share this country with these 77 million people. If this system holds, at some point those voters have to either be convinced to vote the right way, voluntarily check out of politics, or be stripped of their ability to vote. Which path will work?

reggie miller has described two consecutive made buckets as a "4-0 run" twice tonight. if he calls something a 2-0 run i will mail him $100

idk man pacers thunder seems pretty easy to sell to me if you want to do it

I do find a wry amusement at people busting on the Finals being a red state affair like NYC isn’t on the verge of electing Andrew fucking Cuomo as mayor or California’s governor didn’t just pivot into right wing bullshit

Fuck David Zaslav

smh

Alternatively, maybe other franchises should do as good of a job at building their teams as OKC and Indiana did?

he'd see one ad for having sex with older women in the corner and we'd never see him again

I think if you grabbed any famous thinker from centuries ago and showed them Wikipedia and told them it was free for anyone to access, they would say it is humanity's crowning achievement and would be indifferent to the moon landings, modern medicine, flight, or anything else you showed them

Ben Franklin would be on Pornhub within literal minutes.

Sometimes I’m annoyed that the Dems can’t come up with anything to beat the people running on “vote for me I’ll kill you”

This take is backwards IMO. You can eat and drink a lot all over the city and get home safely without risking a DUI or paying through the nose for a rideshare because CTA is as robust as it is. Only a few North American cities even have functional transit, it was part of why I moved to Chicago.

winning 2028 platform: - Imprison everyone involved with DOGE - Criminalize consumer AI - Medicare for All if you're a coward to wants to dodge 'culture war' topics like protecting the marginalized, it's easy enough- simply adopt hugely popular policies and only talk about those

Stun grenades for kitchen workers. I bet if these sick cosplay dork fucks had to deal with a real criminal, they’d probably try to call for napalm air support

I remain convinced that the entire country, including Trump, would be much happier if we just Truman Showed him
