The only thing I have to look forward during this kind of American Thatcherism is that we might get American warhammer 40k

Now that jobs and inflation data are showing cracks under Trump, the data is jumbled all of a sudden. Under Biden, it was clear as day. Typical Democrat DEI-ing the economy to its doom. Now (shrugs) what is data, really?

I bought a PlayStation 5 tonight. I waited years to buy one, and tonight of all nights there’s a historic outage.

The cool thing about now is you can’t point to some vague, disembodied material process of history acting on the decline of this empire—it’s literally just two guys raging against the dying of the light. The forces of history are harnessing two assholes to accelerate our doom.

SCOOP: I just received a copy of the email sent by Andreessen Horowitz to limited partners and investors announcing the hire of Daniel Penny. "Investors (LPs) are almost universally pissed," my source told me. Source doesn't want images shared, but here are some excerpts from the email...

My take on the whole Gaza thing is that it’s trump’s strategy to win a battle before it happens. Again and again you see this. He says something outlandish, we freak out and some people give in ahead of time. It’s the work of a coward bc the second things get hard, he always gives up.

1.Do something rash that makes your enemies afraid so they give in to you ahead of time. 2.If that doesn’t work, pummel your enemies until they give up. 3.If that doesn’t work and things get too hard or contentious, give up. 4.Say whatever you did was the plan, and it’s the best ever. 5.Say you won.

Republicans, especially the DOGE shit, in govt to the average person in america, which is to say room temp suburban/rural dumbasses, constitutes a placebo in which no matter what happens, they’ll register an improvement—even if their actual measurable conditions stay the same or get worse.

I like they cut the one govt program, not bc it’s a very obvious intelligence asset but bc they saw the word “aid” in it and were like, “aw, I bet the libs are gonna be mad if we say we’re cutting that!”

They don’t, never have, and never will, actually care about the cost of gas and eggs. You’ve been duped.

I really hate sometimes news coverage of the court system bc a headline will be like “Court rejects president’s veto on congressional no vote” and I have to undo the double or triple negatives like a stubborn knot

Going through my vinyl and I see twisted sister and guns and roses and I wonder why people think the past is as full of masculine bs when folks dressed in make up and dresses and had long flowing hair.
