It really does feel like something is about to break. I know we’ve all been saying that since 2015, but there’s something in the air that’s different this time.

if you see this, post your getaway vehWHOOPS

i don't even know what to say about this, except that it is language of genocide.

I really don’t want to be a wrecker or an armchair critic, but I’ve been to three different events about the rule of law or whatever in the last few weeks and they either haven’t mentioned the concentration camp in El Salvador or have given it short-shrift

rapidly approaching the point where it may not be possible to unfuck this whole thing

an analogy I hope gets through to some of these people: imagine if I spent all day cooking you a meal and you left half of it on the plate. That's what it feels like.

you know what i really want? leftistly? like a time when there was no birth control. leftistly. a time when there were no vaccines. leftistly. a time when when you got sick you just died. a time when women spent half their adult life nursing or pregnant LEFTISTLY WHY ARE YOU GETTING MAD AT M

I have in general become way less tolerant of ‘crunchy’ bullshit since ascension of people like RFK jr. to actual power. Sorry but the obnoxious Reddit science and logic guys were right, you should be scorned for believing objectively wrong things about consequential issues.

still funny to me that the French news have tremendous trouble reporting on chatGPT because in French it's a homonym for "cat, I farted"

Every now and then I just pause and think that … we could have just elected Kamala Harris, and we’d still have an economy that was the strongest in the world; we’d still have an American-led trans-Atlantic order; we’d be assured that our universities would remain the envy of the world; … (1/x)

does anybody else feel like call waiting systems are getting increasingly terrible specifically so you hang up

it's cool how "I don't think the president should also be pope" is now a contentious partisan statement

Feels like we’re in a surreal political moment where our elites desperately want to capitulate to a despot but the aspiring dictator is so dumb and bad at things that we’re still kinda free despite the best efforts of all involved.

have learned that hockey fans have turned to casting Amharic curses on the opposition, to the level where r/ColoradoAvalanche has a tag for it

It’s a great pun in Chinese, since it’s pronounced very similarly (in some dialects identically) to an old title for the Emperor: 万税爷 wànshuìyé vs 万岁爷 wànsuìyé (the “Lord of Ten Thousand Years”)

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

In case you hadn't noticed:

omg

Why, no, you shouldn't have to have your 'papers' on yourself at all times or face extraordinary rendition to a foreign country, actually

Giving my troops cybernetic combat drug systems that reward them with endorphins whenever they kill an enemy, then losing the battle horribly because they all become addicts who prioritize getting into firefights rather than holding territory or accomplishing anything else.

LOOK WHAT YOU DID. YOU KILLED AN ABOVE AVERAGE POPE

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

One thing I miss about the Obama years is the feeling that time was forwardly progressing. We had a president who was born later than the previous presidents because he was president later. The previous presidents were presidents previously and we didn’t have to worry about them again.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

We’re now at 24 hours of the leftists on this site slandering me personally, telling me to kill myself, and just relentlessly abusing me as the dumbest and worst person to ever live because I said “China is a dictatorship where people have no political freedoms, much worse than the US”
