TIL Taco Bell once offered an “alternative” mix CD in the ‘90s that featured the song, “Return to Innocence,” which just so happens to be the song that plays in my head whenever I bite into a cheesy gordita crunch.

Boycotting works. I’ve boycotted Amazon, Target, Spotify, and Meta so far. These asshole billionaires need us more than we need them.

The GOP has officially ensured its own demise, forever to be known as the party that destroyed America’s standing on the world stage and eroded democracy worldwide. They have power now, but the Republican Party has no longterm future and will end up in the dustbin of history, like the Nazi Party.

Protest sign that I made back in 2020. The Burger King prophecy has been fulfilled.

Trump referring to himself as “the king” makes total sense. This is, after all, the perfect example of taxation without representation. I guess we can’t throw tea in the harbor this time but at least Elon is teabagging Trump?

If there was any justice in the world, Joe Rogan would be living in a refrigerator box on the side of the freeway, eating beans out of an old boot.

Fun facts about the airport in Taipei, Taiwan: 1. Burger King is basically the only restaurant in the airport. 2. They use bubble tea sealers instead of lids.

Elon and Kanye: two egomaniacs that I hated from day one. The more they become obvious villains, the more I feel vindicated. I’m not right about everything, but my bullshit detector has always been in fine working order.

Trump making an excellent argument for his own assassination. Good one, dummy.

Totally normal-looking cold medicine I picked up in Bangkok. To be fair, this is probably what cold medicine in America will soon look like under RFK Jr.

I was handed this by a rideshare driver in Patong. Not sure if I should drink it.

Really glad to be away from America for a little bit. No Trump flags anywhere in Thailand, I promise!

This is what happens when you let a ketamine-addled 4chan edgelord and a demented reality TV star take control of your country. We are so deeply fucked.

Thinking back to Canadian Bacon, the mostly forgotten political satire Michael Moore made in the mid ‘90s, in which America goes to war against Canada for basically no reason whatsoever. I have a feeling the next 4 years are going to involve a lot of life-imitating-art scenarios like this one.

To give yourself a break from the shit circus, I recommend sparking a joint and watching this @rifftrax.com short. It’s just what the talking bag err… I mean doctor ordered.

Just a quick reminder that no, you are not losing your mind. The host of popular reality TV show, The Apprentice, is currently collapsing our economy and destabilizing our government on purpose. It sounds like the plot of a terrible made-for-TV movie on SyFy, but it’s actually America in 2025.

Road testing the new Sabotage tee I designed! 🚨 I barely know anyone who uses Bluesky yet so I’m basically talking to myself, but if you see this, just know that I design stuff and have an Etsy shop. Link in bio!

The official headshot of Kash Patel, who is probably going to be in charge of the FBI, is giving Macy’s security guard who just witnessed a homeless guy expose himself in the lingerie department.

The MFer literally said “I am your retribution!” That’s like something a villain from a Batman movie would say. And they didn’t know it was going to be bad? Jesus…
