As someone points out downthread, these dudes also have unlimited free access to more porn, in more kaleidoscopic variety, than any human beings in the history of the world, except possibly a few emperors who could have it acted out live for them, and still...

We've found something more pathetic than the genesis of Italian fascism, somehow. Italy was pissed at winning the war but winning nothing at the peace table, and America decided to shoot itself in the foot for practically no reason geopolitically.

I've yet to meet a struggling Trump voter. Not saying they don't exist, mind! Just I haven't met one and I live in a small town in West Virginia so no bubble here!

The entire past 10 years is just a 90s neocon getting people to realize he had a point about civic virtue and video games being satanic in the most monkeypawed way possible.

Yeah, this anger is entirely deserved. But don't forget: we're all going to get our chance to build a new future where this shit doesn't happen again. Freedom-loving ppl all over the world are going to have our chance to unfuck everything and make a world even better than the one we lost.

99% of the time whenever two geopolitical sides come to blows with each other it's due to long-simmering issues that then are ignited by a spark. The American-Canadian tensions are a major outlier, because this was preceded by decades of amity, all thrown away by an imperialist despot!

The thing that makes the median US voter stand by for fascism most infuriating is captured well here - said voter had no meaningful basis for claiming to be struggling or oppressed or in need of a strongman to save them. They just...didn't really give a shit. Tom and Daisy Buchanan fucked us all

I side-eye mentioning Sinema here, like this hasn't been a curiously noticeable pattern with so-called "progressives." Also, she also *did* work on things for Arizona (wildfires, drought, etc.). What does Fetterman do except wander around in a hoodie all day and occasionally has a zinger?

Biden wasn't perfect, we'll never know how a Harris/Walz admin would have responded, etc., but pretending she was going to be just as bad as Trump has been is utterly laughable. And it's become clear it was never about Palestinian lives at all.

There is literally no messaging Democrats can craft if people don't pay attention to elections.

"The University of Michigan’s latest survey, released Friday, showed that US consumer sentiment declined in February for the second consecutive month...down by a steep 10% from January. That was double the decline initially reported earlier this month." Elections have consequences.

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ⤵️

I miss the stories that were about the latest round of forgiveness from the Biden/Harris administration. I hope its advocates realize that is never happening ever again and the problem is only going to return.

LPs: Yep. I thought I was finally finding my place and space, etc. Within a month I have watched years of work be obliterated (worse for some of my other former colleagues who were at it for a lot longer!). And all for what?
