They aren’t good at anything except capturing attention for meaningless things. Somehow that has become more important than any meaningful contributions to humanity.

The funny thing about the dem pitch in 2024 was they responded to all the things people said were important, but didn’t realize people didn’t actually think those things were important.

I’ll take things Trump/Elon have in common with Democrat campaign text message donation requests for $100 please, Alex.

Even more criminal than her lack of knowledge on anything is this proof that she never watched the Watchmen HBO series.

Science costs money. They want the money. It doesn’t seem more complex than that.

$4 million seems like a lot to build a Catan map made of beans.

“You guys,” was directed at the account specifically, not liberals generally. I assure you I do not support anything the current government is doing.

Starting the countdown to when we find out this account is run by an AI bot.

For anyone following this thread, this is basically the life of an addict in a nutshell.

To be clear, in advance, this was not asking for a bunch of AI generated Ghibli images.

Catfrog sounds like a Ghibli character in the making.

Lol and this wasn't even an original message? You guys are a joke.

You had me until the tolerating pain part. Aren't we all doing that?

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for capitalizing on this the way that you are.

For two white men who've been influential on social media for almost a decade, it's almost shameful that this is the best you've got.

In his defence, this does seem like a natural response to the gibberish that's being said.

I realize this seems like an insane thing to say, but Trump reposting a conspiracy in order to stoke his base somehow seems less incompetent than not being able to recognize George Clooney.

It isn't. Upon re-read I can see we're arguing the same point. Respect.

So he sold the company to Japan, and then came back and bragged about how rich he was going to get, and everyone thought he meant they were also going to get rich, but six months from now they all won't have jobs? Seems like a perfect encapsulation of America right now.

Lol how do you cut off the quote before he says, "We are gonna be so success for you..."

Anyone else still holding out hope that Alex Karp is just Taika Waititi doing a bit and one day it'll all pay off?

You have the impression that the left can commit themselves to a position. This may be a fundamental error in your logic.

The "continuing record rise?" Did you hire Trump's social media guy or something?

Kind of like how a white male driver is more likely to get passed over at a roadblock? Not saying it’s right but this seems baked into society at this point.

As a very left-leaning person, I find it almost comical that this is what people are choosing to be offended about.

Curious as to what you think your message and the original message have in common.

Came to your account wanting to shitpost about something else, then saw this pic. Legit took this pic of my dog today. Bless pets for bringing us together 😂

My favourite (?) part of Bluesky is how I was immediately fed a bunch of accounts angrily reacting to this post, which made me kind of angry too, until I read the rest of the thread and understood the context.

I am not pro-Elon, and I hate almost everything about him, but it seems like he's found a way to be exceptionally successful regardless of whatever serious problem you think he has. He's a despicable person, without question, but social media posts capitalizing on that doesn't seem like the answer.

Only noteworthy part of this is the idea that Elon believes the NYT has a collective ass.

Whoever is doing the captions on The Rehearsal deserves a raise.

The shtick was bewildering in 2016. How can you possibly still feel bewildered?

In the current era of late stage capitalism (or techno-feudalism), and with an understanding of the personalities involved, isn't the idea of the richest man in the world being an active participant in politics just kind of obvious? The incredulity around his presence just seems so silly.

Not that I disagree, but this seems to perfectly encapsulate the concepts of negging and mansplaining. "I hear your thesis, and here are all my corrections, along with an alternative thesis (if you want it, which you don't because you aren't even a participant in this conversation)..."

It's impossible to avoid the conclusion that Americans would rather blame Biden for the current situation than reckon with the idea that enough of the country preferred Trump over whoever the Dems could have trotted out as an opponent.

"Decided" is doing a lot of work here.

Completely agree with this. My life changed when I found out that the Chimera and Bellerophon dynamic was pulled from Greek mythology... That, and the scene where they jump off the motorcycles at each other.

Right, but wouldn't it make sense to welcome these people back to reality rather than post on social media about them because of their mistakes?

What if the country was being held hostage by an angry, old, fake-rich, fake-tanned, fake-Billionaire, and his cadre of racist sycophants, and all people could do was post rhetorical questions on social media?

+1. The closest example I can remember is the first two seasons of Arrested Development. Just a complete onslaught throughout.

I couldn't make it through S1 for this reason. S2 seemed to find the perfect balance.

Recency bias, maybe, but this was one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen. The balance of comedy, absurdism, and humanity is uncanny.

This deserves consideration for a pulitzer.

It also might be the greatest season of TV that's been made in a long time.
