From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

this has been a frustrating thing about this — i'm just a rando with a tiny website and a social media account, doing this for free on my weekend, but all of these folks are out there and they want to tell their stories, they want these stories heard. i'm not NBC, i'm a shitposter

to: [email protected] re: What did you do last week? === 1. Snorted a ton of cocaine 2. Swung around a chainsaw at a Nazi rally 3. Blew off the mom of one of my 100s of kids to scream at astronauts online 4. Did practice Sieg Heils in the mirror 5. Cried about my broken, deformed dick -Eric (he/him)

the decision to spike the football after Nevada and taunt everyone else in the coalition instead of like... like some magnanimity to widen your own tent was really *a* decision to make

sirota sephiroth-posted "we are going to go all the way to the convention with a plurality after the moderates fail to consolidate then dare them to blow up the coalition by not making me the candidate" and immediately thereafter the moderates consolidated. this is compared to murder

mfw leftists and liberals argue in the comments of another post (I am both)

with biden, we had egg

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

I'm starting to think that repeatedly grooming NYC machine pols to be the next generation of Democratic congressional leadership was one of the great mistakes of the post-Citizens United era. Their loyalties are misplaced, their instincts unhelpful, & above all they are visibly, painfully soft

getting my gender changed at microcenter

Trump take egg then build wall to keep egg out

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

All my homies are chanting “cadaver synod”

Two years ago, doing a sieg heil in public was an immediately fireable offense for every single at will employee in the US. Now if you loudly say "Doing a sieg heil makes you a Nazi and that is bad" is the kind of political speech that corporations hate for their employees to participate in

If you are a Federal employee, this is an HR matter and make it their problem If you have union representation, see if they will call this an irregular evaluation by a member of the public

~*absolutely no one responds*~

Remarkable stuff in the texts between Musk and St. Clair in the exhibits to her paternity position. He’s really into making babies!

yeah the failure to let a palestinian speak at the DNC, when you had a georgia state rep with a normie speech ready and waiting was totally unforced

it is not great to me that the entire right is adopting a trolling approach to the Hitler salute

Quisling, but for agencies

okay but unironically: the maga party hates america

dictatorship will not bring down the cost of eggs but also you should probably organize against the social fact of dictatorship itself

it really is wild that rowling became the most miserable person on earth because someone used the phrase "people who menstruate" in the grauniad years ago

lmao at some point the board is going to be like "continued rule by Elon is sinking our market"

On a certain level I get why progressives are afraid of Cuomo entering the race, but he’s someone with an incredible amount of baggage who left Albany in shame with an approval rating in the low 30’s. He’s beatable when you remind people who he is.

Does holding a security clearance gives the govt the right to piss test you at any time? If it does, next dem admin should unironically spring surprise inspections on every VC with a clearance. Tons of them will pop hot, yank their clearances, make them liabilities to their firms.

Forcing them to live in fear of their constituents is something you can weaponize, actually

Hope no-one relies on the US government for anything.

I still don't agree with them, but watching a lot of Americans assume a new series of foreign invasions would be quick and painless just a few years after *finally* getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan is making arguments for universal military service a lot more comprehensible to me

It's fascinating watching some liberals getting so incandescently angry about what's happening (as they should!) that they start reinventing significant portions of Maoist theory lol

Camp outs in front of their houses are gonna become a thing fyi

Lots of liberals defended SpaceX over the years by insisting that the "Brilliant" COO Gwynne Shotwell was the "adult in the room" WSJ showed last year that she helped administer his creepy, intern rape and harassment breeding cult at the company www.wsj.com/business/elo...

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

Starlink in Ukraine operates based on paid contracts. If it’s being used as an extortion tool, then other countries should consider it a potential security risk - just like Russian gas used for blackmailing. If Ukraine is cut off, it would be wise for Europe to reconsider its use

>clearly erratic and mentally unraveling billionaire with a history of open drug use that is currently in custody battles with multiple different women while running around on a stage with a chainsaw is also the shadow president Armando Iannucci is getting lazy tbh.

another Neat thing is that PSL’s first publication, at a time the us was bleeding 700k jobs a month, was how there was no tiananmen massacre and also everyone killed in the massacre was part of a cia sleeper cell

"Was [he promoted] because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt" is such a wild thing to write, like you are literally just saying "I am a racist"

This is a great way of putting it because by the standards of presidential success that Biden himself understood (from the 1970's-90's, predominantly), he was a *tremendously* productive and successful president. The problem is that those metrics for success completely missed the moment.

If Trump had never existed and Biden had still become president after Obama, I think he'd have been one of the more effective modern presidents thanks to his experience navigating the legislative process. But Trump exists, and Biden was totally unequipped to operate in the world he created.
