YOU KNOW WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN RETURNING YOUR CALLS AND BEING LIKE HEY FIRING ALL THESE GODDAMN WORKERS IS FUCKED UP. THE OFFICE OF SHERROD BROWN YOU GODDAMN IDIOTS I HATE THAT I HAVE TO BREATHE THE SAME AIR AS YOU AND NOT JUST BC OF THE FRACKING

The full post this is from is the closest thing to a Full Theory of Why the World Has Gone Insane that I have. Short story: people don’t respond to reality, but to media and communication, and media has fragmented in a way that hugely advantages demagoguery, particularly on the far right.

Crazy to think that the politicization of stimulus checks is what's going to end up breaking this country

Related, but I guess the RFK stuff really did put Trump over the top. That's upsetting to think about.

I want a leader who runs the government like a business. Specifically like the worst family-owned business imaginable. A pet store where the tropical fish have all somehow contracted gonorrhea. A failing adult bookstore run by two feuding brothers who keep trying to blow up each others' cars.

Working my way through Steely Dan catalog and have lit upon "My Old School" as the new Greatest Song Of All Time

There was a whole theory in ~2022 that Musk's rightward shift would "depoliticize" EVs by making them cool to Republicans, instead it has seemingly just made Tesla's radioactive to Democrats and isn't even increasing Republicans' desire for EVs

My illegal Pinkerton is driving me to my illegal hotel while the hallucination machine in my phone summarizes the emails my coworkers wrote using their hallucination machines. My burrito travels separately in its own limo. This is innovation and normal.

I think there's a meaningful point to be made about how many of these people are in their 20s, which means they spent good portions of early Trump years as retarded children and are just now sort of realizing how the world works/should work. But yeah if someone's like 35 then fuck it

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

It's so sick that I drive a big fancy BMW and I'm no longer the villain of the road

Pete Davidson tap in

Again, the defining GOP shift of the last decade is that the culture warriors now control the party agenda and have to make occasional concessions to the country club Republicans to keep the coalition together, not the other way around

Nothing better describes the American cultural moment than people siding with John Fucking Rocker over Pat Mahomes' dad. Some mix of amnesia or outright support for baseball's dumbest, most hateful shit-for-brains. x.com/itsJohnRocke...

Grimace but pronounced like Versace.

we finally did it boys. we got our own freedom fries 🥲

The first eight Springsteen albums are all perfect

Thinking about that book about how all the nazis and everyone else in Germany were on a shitload of speed and thinking about how clear it is that Trump and musk both take uppers and how a shitload of young professionals decided to turn fascist right around when everyone got adderall prescriptions

Misogyny is really becoming one of the most malevolent forces in politics these days so it's more important than ever to comment "shawty squad goals!" on IG photos of girls you knew in high school

That’s how to respond to this utter horseshit

Elon got pilled and audience-captured a long time ago. The anons he listens to are setting the agenda of the government. Their weird conspiracy theories are his reality. Their newsletter ramblings are his media. And they mob his enemies. An extremely repetitive process keeps happening…

Awesome for all the main reasons plus the little brass notes he puts on "bi" and "trans" are so so satisfying

broke - Kamala Harris: “i will follow the law when it comes to transgender individuals” woke - Stephen Smith:

It’s pretty fucked up to post this on a website where everyone is the exact same age as LeBron James and hurt their knee going to the bathroom

scranton has a big long eruv around the entire city, making the whole place, in the eyes of God, one giant dunder-mifflin office

Woke Doge.

Claudia Sahm was right - the job market is either strengthening or weakening, never steady

Listening to Pretzel Logic again. Good album

When you're listening to a live podcast and they take questions from the audience and an audience member tries to be funny.

You're describing Motley Crue

"Testosterone" people are SHIT FACED
