Read the comments under any news thread about recent Trump admin atrocities and you will find hundreds of Americans demanding that somebody else come save them

Kinda crazy how it’s not really legal to fire a legal firearm at a law officer even if they are doing something illegal and potentially deadly to you

Okay so how long before account bots can start creating these chat bots and how long before we just push the whole internet out into the waves?

Women who consume true crime content : I need to ask you something and I want you to be honest here please Are you partly doing research on how to avoid getting k*lled by your husband/boyfriend? I won’t tell him

One big drawback to substack is that I see the word “neurospicy” on there every day

So we’re building it people. It’s a beautiful park and with the cloning we’re doing, it’s incredible, the cloning we’re able to do. And they’re all females in the park. It’s incredible. And a lot of people are saying you’ll have trouble with the raptors, but we’ll see, I don’t think so

We got the feedback from our factory that they use our outerwear for case studies when demoing their capabilities to new clients. Huge W

Leaving aside the profiling and compiling and whatever, I think it’s weird how we all just forgot about our right not to be surveilled forever and everywhere. It’s not normal to be on camera all the time anywhere you go. Even if you don’t mind it, you never agreed to it. Nobody asked. That matters.

I think I’m onto something here. Someone else fill in the rest

No babe it is literally soo praxis the way you are always posting and looking at posts

For ten years people have been posting like “🧵 The racist and sexist implications of Car Talk. How Click and Clack uphold colonial white supremacist patriarchy 1/15” And now reactionaries control everything

Working class people are gonna have to figure out how to communicate across political lines without lobbing heavily circulated idpol buzzwords and dog whistles but I worry in-group signaling is more satisfying to people than solidarity 🫤

Hopefully an entire cabinet of the most treacherous, least principled, evilest, stupidest people in America will just kind of sort itself out

Algorithmic attention economics has engineered a society optimized for bombastic retardation

Watching this video made me feel really weird. The guy is just a tape loop of culture war twitter posts. His tone of sincerity is acted at roughly community theatre level. He believes that he believes this stuff but he’s just lost. Idc abt this guy but this is sobering substack.com/@robynelyse/...

What’s the name for the political belief system where I despise the billionaire class and understand the systemic causes of homelessness but I also want to beat someone’s ass for all the used needles and drug foil bits littering the park where I walk my dog?

Just ordered some gender affirming herbs

The CIA definitely invented “pleasure activism”

Playing the Lumineers after I have been listening to Bon Iver makes some bad cultural subgenre Spotify playlist type of sense but I believe it should be punishable on death

Substack actually does the same thing as this app and is better

Testing “stretched out JPEG” as a concept for an upcoming campaign. I like it!

Nobody used Zuck’s stupid metaverse and everyone made fun of Elon on Twitter so those two guys decided to ruin the entire world. We shoulda never gave nerds power man

Pound for pound I think music is the most powerful artform. Not that it’s easy or efficient to make music or anything - but just think about the theme from the original Mario. Now consider that the capacity of the entire game cartridge was 256kb. Safe to assume the music was like 1/10th of that

One very funny aspect of the last few years is that antifa never for one second existed in the way the institutions talked about and really it was just Washington coming out as profa

I know there’s a lotta bad shit going on but the thing that is gonna turn me into a terrorist is the new ai feature on gmail where it summarizes the email you’re already reading in a panel which takes up half your display and is often a roughly equal word count to the email it summarizes

Calling your legislators is crazy. These are the people hurting you. I can’t imagine a better designed political time-waster than diverting people who care about stuff into a fuckin government voicemail box
