2010: My source of existential dread is climate change 2016: ... climate change! and fascism 2020: ... climate change!! and fascism and pandemics 2024: ... climate change!! and fascism!! and pandemics and AI really not enjoying the direction this is going to be quite honest

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

This sort of unambiguous, unapologetic pro-immigration message is so much more effective than unconvincing hemming and hawing about how actually Democrats would do a better and more effective job of being anti-immigration.

I was going to post this article this weekend but Duolingo's recent doubling down on replacing humans with generative AI pushed me to get it out sooner. Here's a list of amazing apps for learning Japanese that DON'T use generative AI! #cancelDuolingo jtalkonline.com/japanese-stu...

Fantastic technology, glad society spent a trillion dollars on this instead of sidewalks.

Kevin Sorbo ass lookin figure. Harrison Ford should sue for defamation.

ChatGPT ass presidency

Capitulation and appeasement never work.

Cuz they don’t exist

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

Props to George Soros. Hundreds of thousands of paid protestors yesterday, and yet not a single copy of a check or any evidence of electronic transfers to them.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

🤣

I wonder why Trump’s Ambassador to Ukraine can’t even name the country to who did this? Just gross that this is what is representing us in that embattled country.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Tough language from JPMorgan tonight: “.. we view the full implementation of these policies as a substantial macro economic shock not currently incorporated in our forecasts. .. these policies, if sustained, would likely push the US and global economy into recession this year.”

there was some good economic news today www.cnn.com/2025/04/02/b...

What a complete farce the Trump economic team is. And Moat Americans are about to pay a very big price for this ridiculousness.

I hope I may speak for my fellow historians of the Great Depression when I say: you do not want our expertise to be relevant

Dow drops 1,500 as US stocks lead worldwide sell-off after Trump’s tariffs ignite a COVID-like shock Who would have guessed apnews.com/article/stoc...

American companies quite literally lost one trillion dollars in a single day but on the other hand Dave from accounts receivable doesn't have to worry about using they/them pronouns when he sees Leslie in the break room

Every time I lose, it is on purpose. Each loss simply means I'm playing a more advanced version of chess. 4D. Then 8D. Then 64D. Then 720D. Is that not the right mathematical progression? Too bad, the chess number just went up. 40kD.

They have our business!

You literally can't compare this to any fictional villains, because their plans make too much sense 🤷‍♂️

"You have to throw trans people under the bus to win elections as a Democrat, trans political ads work, the public is reacting to trans people poorly" Meanwhile in Wisconsin after tens of millions in anti-trans ads against WI-SC candidate who did not flinch:

we've just hit NEST, the Autobots, and their Allspark fragment with a 10% tariff

If a candidate was simply more popular during Election Day voting, you'd expect to see that popularity across precincts, large and small. Instead, we may be seeing a clue into the "little secret for the House" in Pennsylvania. 🫢 #VerifyTheVote #ElectionTruthAlliance #AuditPA

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

This.
