When tariffs impacted the businesses of my fellow tradwives who dropshipped ugly dresses and weird bonnets from overseas, I realized this ideology wasn’t working.

if you lived through the lead up to the iraq war then you know that this is the most delusional thing anyone has ever said

What an opening sentence.

A low social cohesion society is not great for maintaining liberal democracy.

Part of eugenics is wanting disabled people to not be visible to society.

This description of qualities of the hellbound from the Aṅguttara Nikāya is just a description of Donald Trump, it’s quite amazing.

I’m not going to doompost. You have my word.

I watch this video and think of the moral depravity not just in the room but in the electorate. It's not like this cruel tyranny is being hidden from the public — it's a central feature of the administration's own propaganda.

Nextdoor neighbor laying it on thick.

fun to remember that i spent much of my teenage years thinking metallica was a terrifying, ultrasatanic band, since i only knew them from the tshirts worn by the older headbanger kids who i found intimidating. then they had a smash breakout hit w/a song that was like "what if a dream ... was scary"

Love to be using KCScript on a Sunday morning to get a certified copy of a restraining order so I can contact the police.

happy ten year anniversary to this post

My only take on the specific article in question is that I'd rather get conscripted into the human centipede than read a "liberal hypocrisy on birth rates" article by Liz Bruenig

does anyone have a cannon pointed at the sun I can borrow? need to shoot myself into the sun with a cannon

Sharing from WSJ, so everyone can point and laugh.

Usually as happy as one can be paying taxes but this year I am more than a little miffed about it.

This is preaching to the choir, but I think people who are not bicyclists do not quite understand the level of hate, vitriol, and violence we receive for simply existing on the road. This is true in any environment: urban, suburban, rural.

The supposed list of PED users that Jon Heyman “accidentally” posted on Twitter includes Richie Sexson lol

Horrendous: *UMICH PRELIM APRIL CONSUMER SENTIMENT FALLS TO 50.8; EST 53.8 *UMICH YR-AHEAD EXPECTED INFLATION AT 6.7%, HIGHEST SINCE 1981

Logic isn’t really their thing but it’s amusing how nativists don’t seem to grasp that making economic conditions better in other, less wealthy countries might encourage people to stay there rather than look to materially improve their lives in the US.

#OTD in 1963, 129 men were lost when the USS Thresher (SSN-593) sank during deep dive tests in the Atlantic Ocean. After being told about the disaster, the young son of skipper CDR John Harvey made this crayon drawing of the sub lying on the ocean floor.

@ytregaws.bsky.social you might need to bring back the EUR-USD tracker!

So much of the rhetoric around autism sounds like eugenics. It’s just a weird way to talk about human beings who might behave a little differently from you.

Panic! At the annual exam.

Raskin: The basis for this most destructive trade war in the history of the world is the profound economic research and policy writings of one Ron Vera, a completely fictional economist conjured up by Peter Navarro, a real person who Elon Musk just called a moron

the duality of naptime and tariff otaku

*cough laughs*

I want to personally murder the median voter

i keep thinking about this

so, stephanie turner—the fencer who took a knee & went on a media tour about it—cost a trans girl the chance to participate in society & did it for $5,000 cash, in addition to, i assume, paid speaking gigs with folks like riley gaines. this is grifting. turner is a grifter. also a garbage person.
