Why did we have to get the Simpsons timeline? Why couldn’t we get the timeline where Leslie Knope teaches big tech about ethics and Joe Biden lives a quiet life writing poetry about Amtrak.

Bill Maher is the Left’s JD Vance

Someone pitching a News article: “Millennials ruined…” News editor: “yes sold. Front page . Top story. Gotta save the economy from these millennials.” Millennials collectively:

I understand that part of this is simply being stuck in an old and broken way of doing politics. I also think we should consider the fact that at least some of these leaders are actually well aware of the dangers of standing up to a fascist and are cowards.

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit. Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

I genuinely think that schools should focus more on intercultural competence than on STEM

Ok collective wisdom of the internet. My sister and I were watching The Replacements in honor of Gene Hackman. When the movie ended Amazon started up Legally Blonde. We’re not mad about it, but if anyone can explain the connection between Legally Blonde and The Replacements we would appreciate it.

Good morning. The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics. All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I love that they’re still trying to win the approval of a group of people that ditched them for fed soc like 10 years ago at this point.

trash.

so many young lawyers I know who have been fired from the government by DOGE. what are law schools, profs, and employers doing/going to do to support them

At this point I kinda think all remaining federal workers should just go on general strike until DOGE is fired.

I also cannot get over that we’re trying to privatize an industry that was only nationalized because the private industry went on strike for better working conditions and rather than paying them or giving them better conditions GOP Patron Saint Reagan said “nah fuck you” and nationalized them.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOO 🎶And as the plane crashed down she thought- well isnt this nice🎶

I cannot state this clearly enough: this document is a precursor to eugenic legislation and execution of people with chronic conditions.

For every industry they try to privatize I hope the workers start threatening to organize. Private industry doesn’t get the government exemptions to the right to labor strikes.

do you want the optimistic answer or the real answer

This is what I’ve been saying. Maybe the way to win is let them have the meaningless distraction bullshit but make them trade real shit for it.

This isn’t even hyperbolic. This is the kind of future you get with unchecked unregulated corporatocracy especially in a world where facts don’t matter or facts are decided by the person with the money to pay for them to be printed.

In this case, Hegseth isn't even pretending. There is a law against naming military bases after confederate traitors, but Hegseth is publicly declaring that "Bragg is back...reversing the" prior decision. Any Judge want to jump on this?

Yeah also remember all those Facebook scams where you’d get messages from “grandma”. Guess how much easier it is to run those scams when AI can be “grandma” for you.

I can't look at the timeline today because the whiplash between posts about the world in flames and people going "happy valentines day 🤗" is making me want to bash my head into the wall.
