Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

And of course it has nothing to do with “saving” real live actual Jewish people, it’s just about making sure we’re around to play our designated role in their end-times fairy tale

Honestly I just hate how angry I am these days. It's totally justifiable--these people are fucking monsters (and I'm certainly not policing anyone else's anger). But I hate it, I hate that feeling. I've spent so much of my life trying to get rid of anger. It's awful to be living with it again.

Okay. Let's take a moment to talk about How To Be A Hugo Nominee And Come Out Of It Happy About the Honor. I realize this is relevant to like, twelve people. I don't care, those twelve people deserve my time.

When institutional Dems kept asking “well what do you WANT us to do?” it’s literally “this, but from Day One, without us nagging you into it.” They had three fucking months to come up with a strategy. I would’ve accepted even a weak one.

I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

Every single one of those chucklefucks in charge of the fed government thinks they've found "one cool trick" for wealth and power that the rest of us are too stupid to know. Crime. Their "one cool trick" is crime.

At some point we have to classify American Evangelism as an objectively different religion to Christianity traditionally practiced and more like Evil Mormonism -sort of a weird offshoot that positions America as the main character of the universe.

The funniest part of this is the lady at the end going “well we can talk about insanity as a strategy” because no one can just say what’s going on without someone trying to tell everyone it’s normal. A year from now it’ll be like well maybe peeing your pants is normal, maybe it makes your legs cool

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.
