If you are coming to my replies to tell me how sun tzu’s art of war changed your life, don’t. Post that shit to LinkedIn, like everyone else

if you capitulate on trans kids playing sports with their friends the right will keep moving further until they are calling for “eradication” and you are telling me you are willing to join their calls if they move public opinion enough

Hey now here’s my review of Bong Joon Ho’s “Mickey 17.” It was super fun, and it also makes fun of people that Warner Bros clearly doesn’t want to make fun of. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Pete Hegseth has gotten the Pentagon to scrub a photo of a B-29 Superfortress ‘The Enola Gay’ (named for the pilot's mother). It was the plane that dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, but the pilot's mother's name was "Gay." We are not just a country being run by bigots, we are one run by stupid ones.

nothing will ever be quite as funny to me as Cybertruck owners saying "what ever happened to basic compassion and decency, I thought we lived in a society"

A Michigan corrections officer has been sentenced to 17.5yrs in federal prison for distributing CSAM. He was originally facing charges for the sexual exploitation of a 15yr old, but those got dropped as part of the plea. Enjoy prison, Corrections Officer Ethan Eversman. 🫡

The Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Peace, the Ministry of Love, and the Ministry of Plenty are the four ministries of the government of Oceania in the 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, by George Orwell. The Ministry of the DOGE fits right in with this group.

Clown-ass clown saying clown shit on cue 🤡🤡🤡

Real conversation I had with a friend "You don't use chatGPT?? What if you have to write an email? How do you know which words to use?" I have a brain? I went to school??

having to buy a new computer in your 40s: but I just got this one! it's a beast! no way its been 7 years oh no wait computers can do what now

Paradise....Silo.....Fallout.....there's never been a better time in history to be a tv show about people living in a bunker

🗣️THIS WAS ALL IN PROJECT 2025. YA KNOW THE BOOK THEY SAID WASNT REALLY GOING TO TAKE PLACE. WELL ITS ON TARGET TO BE COMPLETED BY JULY.

it’s interesting hearing the wicker man discussed as a kid and understanding it as this nightmarish depiction of religious horror and how an insular community devours and destroys outsiders and then you watch it and it’s a bunch of hippie theater kids killing a cop for being annoying

The Raiders are making star edge Maxx Crosby the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL, per me and Tom Pelissero. It’s a 3-year deal worth $106.5M with $91.5M guaranteed.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

Fanatics and Ticketmaster announce plan to get even worse, together: defector.com/fanatics-and...

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Trump: I’m going to kill your loved ones. Democrats: [wave placard] Trump: Especially the black ones. And the gay ones Democrats: [strenuously wave placards]

Fun Fact: Dystopian fiction is when you take things that happen in real life to marginalized populations and apply them to people with privilege.

I am looking at a chamber filled with hundreds and hundreds of people, and if you asked me to seriously estimate what percentage of them understand how deep in the s*** we are right now, I mean really truly understand how close America is to full collapse, I would put the number at between 10 and 20

love when you make a post like “eating the perfect sandwich” and someone responds “actually it’s not perfect for someone with a gluten allergy” like damn ur right I should kill myself

Number of times Russia invaded Ukraine: 8 Number of times Ukraine invaded Russia: 0 But sure tell me more about how Russia invaded Ukraine in self-defense.

I'm not afraid to admit that I think Sum 41 is a good band

Tariffs could coming off tomorrow. Either the most incompetent administration in history, or the most blatant stock market manipulation ever. Or both. Why not both?

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

Along with MST3K, Space Ghost was central to my entire sense of humor at a really foundational age. George Lowe and C Martin Croker's performances were a mile deep. So many things would not exist now without that show. RIP kings, your shadows are long.

a new realization I’ve had about the incredible people who organized resistance against the nazis is how many of them probably hated each other

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

People were killing themselves and eating their own horses to survive during the Depression. And I never forgot the book The Grapes of Wrath describing how the Salvation Army made people crawl on the dirt and bark like dogs to amuse them in the bread lines.

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

We had Russia on the ropes. They were crippled by sanctions. They had made minimal headway into Ukraine. Putin had to survive a military uprising within his own ranks. He was down to pleading for conscripts from North Korea. Then he played his ace in the hole. Donald Motherfucking Trump.

“Meditation” part 1 of 3

this is all a dominance play, but the problem they're running into is that it's so hamhanded and insulting that they're making it functionally impossible to actually capitulate even right wing populists in other countries are going to have to get on the Fuck America train out of political necessity

Old an Soviet joke: 2 men are standing in the bread line in the USSR. After 2 hours of waiting, one said "I've had it! I'm going to shoot Stalin!" He storms off. Returns a few hours later, looking sad. "Did you kill Stalin?" The first man asks He replies: "You think this line is long..."

This is an incredible documentary!! A wonderful assessment that is so so entertaining. Saw it at MoMa last week, don’t miss it when it drops next month. www.pbs.org/independentl...

No kings. No tyrants. Not now. Not ever.

My prayer for all of us is that we can reach the level of guilelessness born of freedom that i had when i wrote the line "wanna put my tender heart in a blender" and not only did not crumple the paper and throw it in the trash but recorded it to tape
