"Meritocracy" is of course, replacing any minority with a Fox host, because all our president does is watch TV and yell at it and the presidency is his way of making it unfortunately extremely interactive.

Pritzker centralizing all temporal and spirituality authority in preparation for the coming Khanate

Ed Martin is full terrible and has been as interim US Attorney for DC, but it's wild that he's out when so many other wildly unqualified cabinet members got in. Could Hegseth be reconfirmed today? Could RFK, Jr.?

Imagine being so fractally stupid, you can't even do your own signature bigotry correctly.

"Speak softly, drive a Sherman tank" - @tmbg.bsky.social

Pretty clear that the Supreme Court and the entire right wing would just like to ignore as many clauses of the 14th Amendment as possible. Starting to think that the proper term for Republicans these days is "Anti-Reconstructionist" although I wouldn't want to run with that as a slogan.

I think the strangest thing about our current era of AI slop is that I'm pretty sure the one likeness genAI is most experienced at reproducing is Donald Trump. It's like that time the internet turned that one MS chatbot into a Nazi.

Let's just hope Trump doesn't watch Escape From New York or The Running Man.

I am BEGGING nerds to actually read the goddamn books you're referencing. Unless you actually wanted to advertise that your company was a surveillance system connected to a source of pure evil and cannot be used without corrupting the user and strengthening the evil.

A thing that nobody on the national stage brought up during the election: While lots of people agreed that there was a crisis at the border, nobody could agree on what the crisis was. Democrats saw a system overwhelmed and not enough judges to process people. Republicans saw too many brown people.

New Trump EO requires Disney to remake all Star Wars content with the Empire and the Sith seen as the good guys.

Imagine trying to use The Bell Curve as an insult like everyone won't hear the whistle.

Happy Star Wars Day! Go get a cute droid.

Shame on any web player that doesn't have its own volume control.

AI art really is the aesthetic of new fascism

And the trad caths, who all voted for him, will not have a problem with this. Odds are a good percentage of them will share the image.

Zuck: The average American has three friends

Today's character is a Temple Guard goes out on secret missions, a Shadow for the Jedi Order.

Today's character is a Bounty Hunter who focuses on stealth and toxins. Her outfit is inspired by a City of Heroes character I made and alter used in a book.

Whenever I make a caster Jedi/Sith or a dual-wielding one, I love to give them shoto sabers.

No one but me would say this because everyone memory holed the Exorcist 2, but I'd swear that the Ghorman Imperial logistics office was based on Louise Fletcher's office and clinic.

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Andreessen can't see this, but this is him basically admitting his job is BS and it's all just vibes and culture and groupthink from his special group chat. Things would be better with banks loaning based on business plans and prospectuses and basic math.

Me and my six boys sharing a fentanyl pill. Is this what they mean by a fentanyl crisis?

Which "[great movie] x Star Wars" movies do you want to see? 1. Casablanca in the First Order era 2. Midnight Run but but Star Wars 3. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the High Republic 4. Romancing the Stone in Star Wars 5. North by Northwest in the Empire era 6. Bourne Identity in the Empire era

Going to change my profile pic to a black and white line drawing version and then change my display name to Dave, 46, Austin, white so that all my posts on here are taken in the appropriate context of being just another stupid motherfucker.

Maybe we don't have to come up with an answer for the privately-funded right wing media landscape. Maybe all our ally (or former ally) countries will realize they need to do election ops in the US to maintain stability and we'll get "Radio Free America" and social media algorithm manipulation.
