I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.

it pisses me off so much how "censorship" to these people means "being told you're wrong"

the culture of lawlessness in silicon valley literally cant be reformed, they are hostile to the basic idea of a nation with laws because they are such special little boys

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

they’re using this complete fabrication as testing grounds to see if they can get away with this. they’ll start doing this with “antifa” “terrorists” to target any left wing activist if this works

Destroy DOGE, undo every bit of its work, and render every DOGE employee unemployable in their professional field for life. End their careers and shame them in every way we can. And make them see that we fixed the government and everything they did was for naught.

For tycoons, their losses are worth it so they can regain power over people with pronouns in their bio. For them this is spending trillions to never hear a land acknowledgment again. It's worth it to them. They're burning it down so they can be kings of the ashes.

Americans voted against the most successful economic recovery of any nation on the planet for this, because they were mad at their servants being paid more and listened to liars who made them feel good.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

problem with playing mega man games with the kids before bed is that the music is so hype they get incredibly revved up

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

We are witnessing the apotheosis of democratic consulting: believe in nothing, ignore your constituents, lie to the public, feverishly defend a status quo no one wants because of bad polls, while aggressively fundraising like televangelists. You couldn’t model elite alienation better if you tried.

Smoking in restaurants is something that benefits no one aside from a really annoying person being able to be obnoxious so this is 100% the next move for conservatives

these terminations are good evidence that this is just wanton destruction by deranged ideologues. there is no rhyme or reason other than whatever makes sense to a bunch of zoomer nazis and their bosses and enablers

I think it should be a law that if someone comes to your job and tries to fire you but they don’t actually work there, you should be able to put a hanger on the fuckin’ stove and let that shit sit there for like a half hour, take it off and stick it up their ass slow like “tssss”
