Just thinking about how Boomers love to compare Americans who stormed the beach at Normandy to today's "sensitive" youth, but then in OUR time, when a dictator invades a foreign country, we invite the leader of that country to be insulted and belittled.

Gee, i just don't see why #DOGE seems to be so interested in firing so many Park Rangers! We need them to oversee America's millions of acres of untouched land that cannot legally be drilled for oil or chopped down for ...Okay, never mind I hear it now. 😖

Listening to Jon Stewart and @jenpsaki.msnbc.com talking about Democrats' obfuscating messaging. I'm just like: "Yes, but if I don't understand my doctor's diagnosis, I don't get a 2nd opinion from the guy on the street corner yelling about Arnold Palmer's dick ..." 😣

I never thought I'd actually miss the era when Republicans used to gaslight us into thinking we were overreacting when we'd accused them of racism. Now racism is just official policy.

Somebody at #Google needs to hire me to explain to them that they're stupid and wrong. 😖

Republicans [1980s] "Oh suuure! Just because we want to cut welfare, you call us RACIST!" Republicans [Now] "Oh suuure, just because we say that only White people should have jobs you call us RACIST!".

Can they design an engine that runs on mucous? Because every little sinus infection, I personally produce enough of this stuff to power every car on every highway on Earth.

I feel every time Trump does something horrible, the Democrats are like: "We can not let him get away with this! We will compose a very official letter of disagreement and read it before Congress!! Live! On C-SPAN!". 🙄

Abraham Lincoln once asked: "How many legs does a jackass have, if you call a tail a leg?". The answer, is 4. Because just calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg. I would pose: "Where does the Mississippi River empty into, if the President is a racist asshole?

Conservatives: "Stop hiring people because of DEI! You should just open the position to everyone, regardless of race, then hire only the most qualified!!" Me [banging head on table] "THAT'S LITERALLY WHAT DEI IS ...".

Every time I hear someone blame DEI for anything, all I hear is: "This wouldn't have happened if we'd only let WHITE PEOPLE be in charge!! 😡

The Day After Tomorrow (2004): "If Climate Change continues, we could see worldwide disasters like the Statue of Liberty encased in ice!" Conservatives: "Sure is freezing out! Guess this Global Warming was a big lie to inconvenience our beloved fossil fuel CEOs after all!!"

Wait, is using the term "BIPOC" a form of DEI? [gasp] 🙄

submitted 34 days ago • 0 comments

Huh. It occurs to me that some businesses might refuse to hire BIPOC people now because they fear being accused of DEI hiring. This would mean that some unqualified White people could be hired over qualified BIPOC people. 🤔 Someone let #Trump know immediately! He must not have considered this! 😨

I feel like #Democrats are acting like #Republicans are actually deterred by hypocrisy. Native Americans being targeted by ICE? BIPOC people in Trump's circle are somehow not "DEI hires", but those who disagree with him are? You know why. It's the reason you think it is.

When you find out that Democrats vote against a "Good" bill, it turns out that the Republicans put all these horrible riders on the bill. When Republicans vote against a "Good" bill, it turns out Democrats put more Good riders on the bill. 😖

Sure! It was a Roman salute, or he was just showing love to the audience. And Pantera was just making a joke about people who drink white wine ... 🙄

I have no idea who Pete Hegseth is, except that the few things I hear about Pete Hegseth make me want to know less about Pete Hegseth. 😖

How long before Don posts a tweet about what a pathetic loser this country's most beloved president was?

Has it occurred to anyone that if this country had passed universal healthcare years ago, that poor CEO that you're grieving would still be alive today?

Okay, but what if: United Healthcare CEO: "That's it! I've had it. I can't even look at myself anymore! I'm going to quit this company and reveal all the abuses of power from the top down!" United Healthcare Trustee: "Can we discuss this at our next meeting at precisely 8am on December 5th?"

I just showed Wifey "an interview with Fred Savage when he was on The Princess Bride", then corrected myself to "IN The Princess Bride". Why do we say "in" a movie, but "on" a TV show? It's not even tense-sensitive. "He was on The Wonder Years", not "in" it. 🤔

I just tried to share 42 seconds of an old Columbo episode on Facebook because it had a young @jamieleecurtisb.bsky.social on it. I got a copyright violation. Seriously? Jamie Lee, I would have paid for 42 seconds of you!

I had a dream last night that I was at a library conference trying to find the show floor. I found laser lights and a fog machine. Three girls started chasing me with daggers. I stopped and said: "Hey, is this a LARP?". They assured me that it was. 🤣

Hey, if I just write a novel, can I parlay that into treatment for my anxiety? Like: "The world is going to Hell, my car needs to go into the shop, and I have a weird pain in my foot. But who cares about any of THAT, how am I going to get my characters to the secret artifact by chapter 9??".
