Doomscrolling through Reddit even I see a post in a stock market sub about the dollar losing value and the crazy bond market and he asks, "Should I be worried?" My brother in cripes, how were you not already worried? Did you just exit a coma?

Tonight I showed the kids why I have an IMDB page and my daughter shrieked in terror when I came on-screen because I was beardless and not wearing glasses.

I'm hearing from some very reliable sources that Elon Musk plans to pay $1 billion to the first person that successfully kills him.

While I respect Mr. Uwine's talent, I can't think of a worse time to ride a pony than when I'm horny.

Not to be branded a doomer, but I can help but laugh at how many people think any of this can simply be rewound. Place massive tariffs, pause some tariffs, etc. Okay. But the mask is off. There were some (though not nearly as many as a lot of the US seems to think) people who envied us.

My lovely wife this morning told me she felt like she was on the verge of a panic attack and she didn't know why. It feels like the most logical way for a brain to react to the apocalyptic flood of bad news that has been drowning us since November.

People think I'm joking, but I'd probably be in prison if it weren't for white noise. Unemployed, for sure, but probably in prison, too.

Wake up, babe, new swastikas are dropping! boingboing.net/2025/04/09/t...

"(A lawyer for Musk has said he’s 'regularly and randomly drug-tested at SpaceX and has never failed a test.')" Lawyer: It's true! Never failed once! He's always been high as all hell! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Where is the D.C. Sniper when we need him the most?

Uh, same.

Trump: I blame the people sitting behind this desk for being stupid, and incompetent

Here's a really eye-opening thread for anyone who just blindly believes when ICE or police or any arresting authority says, "Trust us." Sorry, but if you've ever personally known a cop, even a good one, you also know there are some outright dummies and lazy jerks who just don't care among them.

The Art of the Squeal by Deliverance Donnie

Most of these big days were effectively "dead cat bounces" in the middle of brutal recessions or the Great Depression.

Just a man standing in front of a woman hoping she doesn't pick me out of the lineup.

You're never going to convince me that anyone in Donald Trump's orbit, much less the melting homunculus with doll hair itself, is a strategic genius. Pulling out collective dick out of the fire isn't "the art of the deal," especially when that drooling sack of syphilis is the one who shoved it in.

When you're 40+ but still watch anime.

By all means, buy up those stocks! It's not like this team of lead paint sommeliers will turn around in 15 minutes and fuck it up again! They've learned their lesson.

Karoline Leavitt is so stupid and untrustworthy that she could say, "Wood comes from trees" and I'd still want to check with multiple experts to make sure.

We're gonna wish they'd let us eat cake.

Chuck Schumer: Just a little more. A little more. More than that. Look, we don't want to seem unreasonable. Just let them have control of the rope. Don't worry; they won't wrap it around *our* necks. There are norms they have to respect. We'll give it a few more years, then we'll really fight!

Alright, that's about all I can handle on a Wednesday morning without Xanax.

I cannot- and I cannot stress this enough- stress this enough.

A funny thing is that "how would they treat a Democratic President in the same situation" thing is totally hypothetical because all the huge market crashes in my lifetime happened under Republicans.

News: There's an active shooter... Me: Oh no! News: ...in the White House. Me: Ohhhh. Um, no?
