The vibesession was a lie pushed by the far left to help Trump. But don't worry, he'll give us a real recession.

Going to break my rule about holding my tongue in situations such as this, and observe that he died as he lived: stupidly.

I hate this urban tough-guy bullshit. America's dense walkable cities should be pleasant places where it's easy to raise a family without a car, not dilapidated shitholes where you prove how hardcore you are by ostentatiously tolerating inconvenience and disorder.

fascinated by a rhetorical strategy i see all the time now, which is making up an extreme edge case to argue against doing anything for the public good, and doing this from the putative left.

We need a term for “making up a theoretical marginalized person who morally justifies my personal preferences.”

it is so important to remember that IN THE MOMENT there was no one who thought jan. 6 was some innocent protest gone awry. everyone recognized it for what it was.

I need AI to filter out any social media post about sports. Word-specific filters are useless.

It’s a dumb movie because the central metaphor doesn’t work, the asteroid is easily comprehensible, the act of mitigating it involves minimal visible tradeoffs for the average person, and it impacts everyone equally, none of which are true about climate change.

more evidence that trump doesn’t have as much juice as people think!

What could go wrong with Because a documented majority of your [race/ethnic group/religion] was found to [do a thing I don’t like / participate in antisocial behavior / vote stupidly] you bear responsibly as an individual and should be judged accordingly; it’s your job to fix your people ??

It’s so fucking degrading when you have a stereotypical dream like being back in high school or loosing your teeth. The deepest, darkest parts of your subconscious mind? Yeah, they’re really pretty basic. Comedians were making hacky jokes that described your most inner spaces perfectly, in the 90s.

These people are morons. Trust me we don’t want to be there with you either.

✈️ Le gouvernement malaisien a approuvé le lancement de nouvelles recherches pour retrouver l'appareil du vol MH370 de la Malaysia Airlines, qui a mystérieusement disparu il y a dix ans avec 239 personnes à son bord, a déclaré le ministre des Transports, Anthony Loke #AFP ⤵️

Honestly thinking it will end seems optimistic.

Hurt people hurt people. Or fantasize about others being hurt. There’s a lot going on which this, but part of it is trying to relive past abuse to rationalize it, or feel some control over what they couldn’t control before. Very sad. Get help before your brokenness makes you complicit in violence

i see this kind of stuff all of the time now and i find it so enraging from a “show some basic social propriety” standpoint.

A statistic that stopped me in my tracks a few years ago: the average age of a GOP committee head is _thirty years_ younger than their Dem counterparts. This isn’t a party that’s eating their seed corn: this is a party that finished the seed corn last year and is gnawing on the packing material.

You can’t make it up. Except you LITERALLY made it up.

Funny/sad to see the left do their inverse MAGA election denier fantasy with almost no self-awareness of how crazy they look. Remember what we all said to MAGA? Bring a court case, and we know you probably won’t because in your heart you know it’s bullshit. Masturbatory innuendo is more fun!
