I'm sorry but I'm just not going to be cowering in fear of these clowns. They suck and they are cruel but they are not God.

As the paramilitarized US police forces become absorbed into the fascist takeover as its enforcement arm at least you can all sit pretty knowing you screamed at college students to prevent even a single dollar from being cut out of their budgets.

I must be the worst person to send nudes to because I never know what level to respond at, I'll be like "ah yes, very tasteful, I will make use of these later if you follow my intent there. If you will, homina homina homina."

Exactly this, this gets much worse and if it ever improves after we won't be better than the counterfactual for decades. What's already been done will take ages to unwind.

Walton Goggins looks like when someone draws the sexy version of a character that shouldn't have a sexy version, like he's the Deviantart take on a character instead of the original.

Personally, I do not give a flying fuck if you think protesting is boomer cringe. That is a terrible, selfish fucking reason not to protest. It is life and death for a whole lot of people and street action matters

Before you reply to a post, ask yourself: - Am I adding to the conversation or just being insufferable? - Is this a joke, or am I just ruining the fun? - Is my motive to uplift or to drag others down to my level? It’s okay to let people enjoy things.

Democrats, with the exception of a few like AOC, are deeply inclined to just ride this out and not make a big stink out of anything. This is the problem of an institutional party faced with an ideological party, they do not have the tools to get mad about an existential threat.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

We're going to see a whole cottage industry of grift AI phrenologists who're like "You can always tell an AI because it wears mismatched socks. When dealing with an AI, never state your True Name aloud. If an AI is following you, throw mustard seeds at its feet."
