Another one for @senschumer and his fellow brave letter writers

the jobs of the future, where you will be a hereditary serf producing goods for your betters

We saw the storm brewing a mile away.

Voted. In and out in 5min. Pencil and paper and so very easy.

Update - the actual text of the EO seems to indicate that the “This mechanism shall include the use of private sector pro-bono assistance for such law enforcement officers” refers to legal representation (aka the private firms he strong armed) and will likely be used to protect bad cops.

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

i’m having a full on panic attack about the EO/troops being deployed as domestic law enforcement. been anticipating this for awhile but it just feels like we are fast approaching some very dark times

On this day in 1997, we first met Mr. Sparkle.

Mon Mothma dancing like a goofball despite knowing everything is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets any better is the entire vibe of 2025 and I respect her for it.

Popeye gets it.

My final predictions: Liberals wind up around 180-190 seats. NDP hold a few key seats but lose official party status. Poilievre and Singh both out as leaders by the end of the week.

An anti-Hamas and anti-Israel protest in Gaza. Women and children are calling for an end to the war, Hamas rule, and Israeli crimes. Since the October 7 2023 Hamas terrorist attack more than 50,000 people have been killed by Israel's genocide campaign. Protestors: "Long live the women of Gaza" #3E

It hasn’t been mentioned much that the legendary Executive Producer of 60 Minutes named Bill Owens was forced to resign because he refused to bow to the orange felon seeing as its parent company Paramount needs the orange felon to approve a merger. Fascism 101.

“Recently deputized” means “frustrated gym bros who wanna carry guns and boss people around.” It’s always the biggest failures at life who sign up first to be enforcers, torturers and concentration camp guards. This is beyond fucking dangerous and it’s gonna get people killed.

if a guy says theyre CIA and they want you to DM every girl you ever jacked off to and apologize, Its a scam. Just ruined my life. Thank you

Here are some nice mushrooms

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not. Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books. It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse. www.chron.com/politics/art...

“All right next up on the line is Donnie from Queens, Donnie whaddaya got for us”

I've yet to (willingly) use an AI generating tool. I've had no need to.

OR JUST NOT FUCKING USE IT EVER

Shedeur probably having that same realization Lonzo did: even though you love your dad and he loves you, sometimes that man is simply wrong as hell

"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

“He is one of the top five, probably, most targeted people in the world for espionage.” That seems accurate!

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

It should not be effectively illegal to criticize the actions of a foreign government.

Canadians are now labeling food with a “T” symbol if it’s American and impacted by tariffs. RIP American-made food sales.

On June 12, 1987, Ronald Reagan demanded "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" On April 24, 2025, Donald Trump whined "Vladimir, stooooooop!" Has the United States ever looked weaker?

That's what happens when one shits on all their allies before starting a trade war with their largesrt trade competitor. No plans; no fundamentals; just chaos. The US hasn't looked weaker since pre-WWI.

love a senator imploring regular citizens to fight back against tyranny. dawg you spent the last twenty years giving machine guns and tanks to traffic cops this is like pushing your toddler into the ring with ivan drago

Mild "Andor" detail: There's a delightful diegetic dance track in season 2 where the only lyric is the word "NIAMOS!" That's the name of the beach planet Cassian hides out on in season 1—making it the Star Wars equivalent of yelling "MIAMI" This must mean there's a space Pitbull

Andor really turned Mon Mothma from “lady who gives exposition before the next rebel mission” to “one of the most fascinating characters in all of Star Wars”

He would have never been appointed by a president who cared about our military. He’s a disgrace to the people in uniform who serve www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...
