Remember when Rush Limbaugh worked himself into a froth about Obama "wanting to be a king" because he held a speech in front of a flag with an O on it? (It was the state flag of Ohio.) Good times, good times.

A Senate that can confirm Kash Patel to be anything other than Mayor of Crazytown is a fundamentally unserious and pointless body.

These dumb fuckers still don't realize that the value of their stock portfolios won't matter in a no-trust society where the leadership openly wipes their asses with the rule of law and the social contract.

We handed all the power to the guy whose executive orders are written by people who think that Armageddon has to happen so Jesus can come back. That'll work out super well in the end for everyone, I'm sure.

If a 9/11 type event happened in this country again right now, there wouldn't be the global outpouring of solidarity we saw in 2001. Now people all over the world would be like, "Good. You brought it on yourselves." We decided as a country that cooperation and friendship are woke and for weaklings.

Me telling stories from the Before Days to the grandkids while we grill our rat burgers in the ruins of what's left after the Second Civil War, the Corporate Wars, and the New Gilead-China War.

Same in the US. They charged $129.99 for my Office 365 Family renewal, $30 more than before the stupid Copilot "feature". Cancelled the subscription and bumped it down to $99 again with the offered "Classic" plan. Hold the side of AI I didn't order and take that shit off my fucking check.

One of the darkly amusing things about this is the sheer number of spineless people who are forced to pretend that he has some sort of plan, and that he's not a crude, cruel, vicious, impulsive imbecile who has no self-control and at best a sixth-grader's understanding of literally anything.

They'll blame every single thing that goes wrong in the next four years on DEI and use it as prima facie evidence that there are still too many women and non-whites in positions of power and authority.

And to think what we could have had instead of this three-ring circus of shit-flinging clowns.

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.
