Atlas Sucked.

watching the rapid unscheduled disassembly of the american project

If the entertainment industry is an enterprise approaching a trillion dollars in worth, then why is it that all modern trailers now commit to spoiling major plot elements of the narrative, a mode that objectively eats ass in mass quantities?

This is probably a take that's been better stated by others, but I don't think any of these people are especially smart. They just lack humility / empathy and are eager to flex the power they have. People confuse the novelty of it with insight or intelligence.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Mediocre white men discovering all the money they make depends on the rule of law oh no

[LOUD SCREAMING]

It's a start.

It’s not theory. It’s praxis.

Incredible to think how hard Merrick Garland worked for four years to avoid even the remotest appearance of partisanship or ideological commitments, and literally on her first day as AG Pam Bondi is like "Diversity is now illegal, we will be putting all the libs in prison"

Really wish I had enough civic knowledge to interpret resignations as anything other than unforced errors, forgetting that the problem with having principles is that eventually you need other people to have principles too.

There are few things more destructive than someone who thinks they've got it all figured out, but have not.

enough is enough. democratic leadership in congress needs to act now and text me saying they need five to ten dollars

Ah damn it turns out this whole political system relies on false assumptions about how big of an asshole someone could be

On one hand it’s the inspiring future where AI can make slop images of anything you imagine. On the other hand we’re all going to get diphtheria and can’t afford food

Aside from the obvious cruelties, a flaw inherent to plutocracy is that business types don't know how accomplish anything, they know how to get other people to work for them. When they cut costs, it's a number, not a whole adaptive process. They're completely estranged from that.

leaving the cruelty aside for just a minute it's absolutely humiliating to imagine being my age or older and getting excited because you think you've been given permission to say a bad word. what are you gonna do next, ride your tricycle past the end of the block

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

this is gonna be the way things work over the next few years- the admin getting like 1% of what it wants and losing almost every negotiation while the lapdog press spins every loss as a huge historic win, it's literally the modi model

I can hope that all this (gestures) ushers in a new era of "Fuck what they say, watch what they do," but it's not a big hope.

everyone's talking about some guy. who cares.
