What if the “crisis of masculinity” is really a bunch of men with a skill issue; and instead of turning inward and unfucking themselves, found it easier to just hate women specifically, and society more broadly? And in so doing they found a community of fellow dipshits?

So how long until a lot of these gov workers being let go are hired back by new private companies who have surprisingly acquired gov contracts and were created by musk and his cronies?

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

I believe many people on "the left" need to do some self-reflection among those who treat ideological purity as more important than coalition building. We cannot be policing our allies when we must be confronting our enemies. And our enemies are clear. They are inside the gates.

This has been my most ambitious piece of writing so far. It's long. And I will be working on a much shorter version for a wider audience. But I also don't want to lose sight of the deep truths lurking around us. So, here is The Plot Against America. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-plot-a...

I kinda hate how our phones and technology have almost forced this burden on us needing to be “available” for others. Miss the days you left your house and whatever happened wouldn’t be your concern until you got home and turned on the answering machine

Although I am aware I’ve been doom posting (perhaps we will one day call it prescient warning posting), I will say that I have a weird brain because in times where the scale of the catastrophe is so universal and impersonal, I get a lot less depressed than when I feel I am the only one suffering.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

I think body slamming one of these DOGE guys through a table when they show up at your little part of the Department of Agriculture that weighs cows would actually have an impact

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

perfect opportunity for a new era of democrats who actually want to fight for Americans to step up and set the tone of the party. WE WILL SUPPORT YOU, we are literally begging for anyone to stand up and fight for us

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
