When a Democrat says,"this discrimination against trans people is just a distraction", what they mean is "trans people are a distraction". If you can't stand up for trans people, I can't trust you to stand up for anyone else who isn't you.

I’ve seen a few people mention Boelter is a registered Republican which is bullshit because you don’t register for political parties in MN

Fully prepared for the entire right wing apparatus and a large chunk of the political center to loudly disparage "violence" by a random protestor smashing a window today while attempting to nuance-to-death what happened in Minnesota this morning.

And Rufo saying THIS WEEK that they needed to use unmarked vans to take progressive leaders off the streets normalizes the violent unaccountability. This is exactly what he’s been trying to incite.

I know I should play less Blitz chess, but I just drew a 92 move game where my opponent at one point had Mate in 1 on the board.

New insurance requires that I use CVS if I want a 90 day supply of medicine so I initiate a Rx transfer. Old pharmacy confirms it was transferred. CVS says, “lol what Rx” and now I’m without any medicine at all until I can get it represcribed. I’m tired, man.

Having a hernia sucks because it feels like I’m one bad move from doing irreparable damage but no surgeons are available for a consult for weeks.

As someone who has had gout since I was 24, I fully believe Bissonnette when he says it’s the most pain he’s ever been in. Cut back on the steaks big guy.

It sucks getting there, but there really are few feelings more freeing as an American than hitting your healthcare deductible for the year and being able to get all your medical issues taken care of worry-free.

You can tell it's a Republican bill because if it was a Democratic bill the headline would highlight the $3.8 capital-T Trillion it is adding to the federal deficit in the most breathless terms imaginable, and the entire article would be devoted to wondering how it would ever be paid for.

I keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.

But, like, if the comics are AI generated, why would I spend money on buying a comic instead of just asking the AI to make a comic for me?

Even though there is basically a 0% chance that the Fed cuts rates tomorrow (and it looks unlikely they’ll do it next month either) Trump is still gonna throw a fit about it isn’t he?
