I don't think my brain was built for social media, like EVERY day someone's like "fuck ALL of my followers who aren't posting a chartreuse rhombus today, I don't feel safe around you people anymore," and I'm just like ...hm?

There are bigger deals out there right now, but I was crushed to find that the vast majority of the older Colbert Report and Daily Show archives have been scrubbed from the internet. I feel like we need as much historical-to-current mocking of authoritarianism and demagoguery as we can get.

As always, it's a failure of imagination. We never thought we had to pin Trump down about the fact that Putin started the fucking war, because we didn't think that would ever be seriously challenged, and certainly not mindlessly followed by his zombie horde even then. And yet here we are.

Hey, help me out here, I forget how truth works: Is it still a "Russia Russia Russia hoax" if he's openly and shamelessly colluding with Russia on the world stage?

I have this quirk where I don't think Nazism is a debate or a troll. I tend to think it's repulsive and evil. Guess I'm just random that way

I really don't think there's a clever way to say that the US is betraying an ally and cozying up to a murderous dictator. It's shameful, and I am embarrassed of my country.

Breaking News from the man-bites-pizza school of journalism: The wannabe dictator who gets half erect whenever Daddy Putin notices him wants to let Putin keep the land he invaded and killed for. But of course, the REAL dictator is Zelenskyy who...has been trying not to have his country annexed...?

I witnessed a plane crash as a teenager, and I react very poorly to news of them. As though I needed ANY further reason to see the reality of this country as the hellscape it is...

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

One of the most brain-melting talking points I've been seeing on the right is, "Oh, you have something against the DOGE kids just because they're young?? You didn't mind GRETA THUNBERG!!!👀👀👀," and it's just like ??? I dunno, Greta Thunberg wasn't doing Fortnite dances over my SS number...?

As the Neuralink blockers activated, the reporters' frenzy subsided into torpor. Their bodies resumed a dissociative state until the next choreographed "press conference." Musk heaved a sigh. These performances were so taxing. He treated himself to a sniff of cinnamon, long banned in the Colonies.

I continue to suspect that Fetterman's actual "cognitive crisis" at the beginning of his term was the implantation of one of Elon's brain blenders, and that Elon sets it on "Pulse" every time he does anything deserving of condemnation. (All the time.)

He's been going on and on for MONTHS about how he sees Gaza as prime real estate, so Republicans can gtfo with their fake shock and their pearl clutching and their "what about America First." If you don't know by now that it's always ever been Trump First policymaking, sorry about your 24hr memory.

Props to the Netflix approach of using real universal time to age the Stranger Things kids by five years every season, WAY more realistic than VFX or old age makeup.

Can't wait for Maye Musk to hop online, fire up the intertubes, and explain to all that's it's actually a federal crime not to call her son a very big, special, handsome big boy with the bestest brain.

Sue the absolute shit out of Elon Musk. He has the money. Literally one lawsuit per each individual piece of personal information he got his weird, waxy little fingers into. DOGE is not the government.

First we had Trump, and everyone was like, "Justice is blind, and wealth/standing do not exempt one from being held accountable." Then the Supreme Court--stacked by the same guy, using wealth and standing--said, "lol, nope, being rich and famous is actually the DOPEST thing." And now we have Musk.

Well, the bad news is that the dolphins are leaving. The potentially great news is that, as per Douglas Adams, this means the Vogons are on their way to end it all for us.

Books are humanizing; social media is radicalizing. Books may appear passive, but they are energizing. Social media may appear active, but it numbs and stupefies.

If you've never been poor, in danger, in need, or just trying to GET BY, you probably think Trump's halt of govt asst programs is just the best, most orgasmic own of the libs you've ever seen. But then you'll look around and realize your non-wealthy fellow MAGAs think you're a fucking asshole.

Welp. I really hope the clown enthusiasts out there enjoy their big moment of government representation. I also hope there will still be adults left to clean up when the circus inevitably carries on too long and needs to pull up stakes.
