It’s extremely clear from the Elon/Trump fallout that there is no actual Republican idealogy any more. There’s just the MAGA-fascist cult and the techno-fascist cult, and now that their uneasy alliance is dead both cults are scrambling to redefine themselves.

JK Rowling is using her billions to fund her own powerful lobbying group with the sole purpose of destroying the lives of trans people. "Separate the art from the artist" is for when the artist is dead. When you buy her products, you are directly funding THIS www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

It’s kinda nuts how the country is both devolving into fascism and collapsing full on Soviet Union style and yet we still have to go to our jobs and pretend we care about clients and kpis and whatever.

With brilliant chess moves like this it’s a wonder David Zaslav hasn’t yet been asked to join the Trump Administration.

I’m seeing people continue to clutch their pearls at shit like this and insist on “norms” and “values”… we forfeited our abilities to moan about Trump doing illegal shit when we didn’t swiftly prosecute and imprison him for the illegal shit he did the first time. Laws mean nothing if not enforced.

The funniest thing about the tariffs and Congress’s abdication of duty is that usually the economy isn’t really directly under the president’s control. But in this case the economic disaster we’re looking at is absolutely, 100%, no question Trump’s fault. You want all the power? Take all the blame

“But if we accept trans people then men might sneak into women’s bathrooms!” Maybe instead of persecuting a minority group we need to reckon with why our society creates the types of cis men where that feels like a legitimate concern? Like, nobody’s worried about women sneaking into men’s rooms…

Proof positive that it’s a scam? My old company ended their Unlimited PTO policy after they noticed people were actually using it.

In a beautiful metaphor for our capitalist dystopia, there are two lines at my local mall today. One is to preorder the $449 Switch 2. The other is for a food bank. I… am in the Switch 2 line because consumerism is the only thing that gives me dopamine anymore. God bless America.

My sweet beautiful 10 year old dachshund-mix was mauled by a pitbull tonight. She’ll survive but I’m tired and on a short fuse so nobody better try me this week.

It’s not at all absurd. Turning our national defense into a dumb subscription service is exactly the kind of thing I would expect from Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Hell Bezos is probably mad he didn’t think of it first. We live in a techno corporate dystopia.

Black Mirror’s finally unambiguously good again for the first time since Bandersnatch, but I can’t help but feel that Eulogy is basically just Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind if Joel was just a moron who was at fault for literally everything bad in the relationship.

They continue to violate a court order to retrieve someone they illegally deported. We’re now well beyond a constitutional crisis. If they’re allowed to do this, their secret police can sweep up anyone, for any reason, deport them & refuse to bring them back. That would be the end of democracy.

Once again, the would-be assassin seems to have been a far right white supremacist. The calls are unsurprisingly coming from inside the house! It’s almost like stoking the flames of a bunch of conspiracy minded low information nut jobs who love guns and hate the government was short sighted!

Gotta love how Uber spent millions lobbying to be able to screw over their drivers, engaged in union busting, basically monopolized the taxi industry, raised their prices significantly… and now have ads pop up on the map screen when you’re in the car. I hate our cyberpunk dystopia.

You ask me if I have any empathy or nuance to offer for the fifteen Democratic senators who voted to confirm Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. No, I do not. I think they're cowards.

After all is said and done, and I mean this entirely seriously, we need another Constitutional Convention. And we need smarter and more empathetic people than our current politicians to attend it.

I need a politician to go to the Rust Belt and say “You don’t want your back breaking factory job back, you just want a job. A job that pays well, with benefits, and protections, that provides for your family. The factory is never coming back, but better jobs exist. And we’re bringing those here.”

Rust belt Democrats think being “pro-labor” means being pro Factory. They can’t fathom the idea that working class people don’t actually care about the factories, they care about having good paying jobs that they are qualified for and have labor protections.

Anyone else think that maybe tying the entire health of the economy, and indeed the retirement plans of most of the nation, into a giant casino for rich people, was a bit shortsighted and dumb?

I was so hyped by that Switch 2 Direct… and then they showed Donkey Kong with his gross new design, wearing pants, and looking like they ditched, or at least redesigned to the point of being unrecognizable, his entire supporting cast. Nintendo… no… we don’t want this… just give us Donkey and Diddy
