At the heart of all this, I think, is a kind of dissociation. A refusal, or maybe an inability, to process the enormity of everything. The climate is collapsing. Fascism is rising. Healthcare is a game show. We are all screaming into the void, and the void is replying with a link to a merch store.

I've been awake since 3 am and drank a full mug of espresso this morning to compensate (I normally drink earl grey). I'm twitching like a squirrel.

Bull market this and bear market that. I don't want either of those. I want a raccoon market. Or maybe a crow market. Still working out the details but what I know is that things must change.

Look I'm a vegetarian so I'm not consuming either, but is there really a meaningful health difference between jello and collagen supplements? Could you all not just be saving a bunch of money and eating some jello once in a while?

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

FDR served American voters one spoonful of socialism and they elected him President four fucking times. Not one person in the Democratic party learned anything from that in the last 80 years.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

Trump and Musk are basically trying to deskill America: 1) kill all white-collar jobs and replace them with AI 2) kill universities 3) use tariffs to turn the U.S. into an economic island manufacturing, oil and ag hub 4) empty the cities 5) push men into manual labor & women back into the kitchen

Mahmoud Khalil is a legal, permanent U.S. resident and is granted protection under the First Amendment. He is currently being detained without being charged with a crime. The reason for his arrest was due to his political speech. This is a violation of the First Amendment.

Just FYI arresting a greencard holder for otherwise 1A-protected protest, overnighting him to a private detention facility in central Louisiana, & holding him w/o bond pending review of his status by an immigration judge can all be easily justified by law which has been in effect for 20 years

Hey, Ben Franklin, good job discovering electricity and everything, but also? I would rather practice my sewing by candlelight or whatever people did in the Stone Age than have an hour of sleep stolen from me personally every Spring. Electricity is overrated. I’m glad you’re dead, you decrepit creep
