When the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine inherited the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal. They handed them over because they didn’t need them, because the US guaranteed their independence and sovereignty. The lesson 30 years later? If you have nukes, KEEP them. If you don’t have them, GET them.

Am I the only one worried that all this chaos is going to plunge us into a second Great Depression?

Remember when Joe Biden’s attempt to cancel some student loan debt was an unconstitutional power grab by a lawless president? They Do Not Believe What They Say They Believe.

Remember how the plot MacGuffin for the first Mission Impossible movie was a list of CIA agent identities worth millions of dollars on the black market to foreign adversaries, the release of which would endanger those agents?

In a parallel universe, a version of me is thinking about ways I can join with others to pressure the disappointing Harris administration to be more progressive, while the legal cases against #45 proceed that will keep him from ever being a danger to American democracy and the world.

Tariffs only cause pain to other countries but also a little pain to us but we need them because we’re being cheated but if they send troops to the border then they are not needed but if immigrants and fentanyl aren’t a problem then they are needed. They do not believe what they say they believe.

If he fires all of these experienced FBI agents and then there’s a terrorist plot that the FBI misses, will it be the fault of the ones he DIDN’T fire, will it be the fault of DEI, or will it be the fault of illegal immigrants?

What I wouldn’t give to be disappointed in President Kamala Harris right now.

I love this naming companies that undermine our values so we can boycott them. What if we do the same with communities that consistently send certain people to Congress? We could call it Dox a District. Rome, Calhoun and Dalton in Georgia’s 14 district keep reelecting Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Is it that being a billionaire turns you into a bad person, or that a necessary prerequisite to be a billionaire is to be a bad person? Or is it that being a billionaire amplifies ordinary everyday badness that normally slips under the radar without all the power that comes from vast sums of money?

Elon Musk is like if Kanye were white and had infinite money.

The guy they arrested as a person of interest in the healthcare CEO shooting had a ghost gun. American CEOs, given public sentiment about you, now might be a good time to get on the sensible gun regulation bandwagon.

Here I am calling myself a Curtis Mayfield fan and never listened to The Impressions. Bro had a CATALOG.

I know this might be a weird place to say it, but I hate the era of the algorithm. I wish I could just opt out and randomly find or not find things on my own without tech companies serving me what they think I want. It’s hard to be surprised anymore.

I think Dune: Prophecy just needs some Chalamet.

Just rewatched Don’t Look Up and I think the comet was actually a metaphor for authoritarianism.

I’m so confused right now. This seems like it must be a hoax, but T-Pain did a remix with them, so somehow they are legit?

This is AWESOME. As a user of deodorant, I am a big fan of Musk-free zones. Let’s unenshittify social media together, y’all!
