The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy, but it sure is funny to watch them tear each other apart.

If hard work leads to success, the donkey would own the farm.

America’s foreign policy is now being live-streamed in all caps from a golf cart.

Silence is confidence. Be very weary of the person who needs to tell you how great they are.

If you see someone stealing groceries, baby formula, diapers, or plans for the Death Star. No you didn't. #snitchesgetstiches

Democrats biggest problem is that they keep electing career politicians and hope they'll get progressive legislature in return. If the Democrat you're voting for has been around since the 1990s, then you're really voting for a right-of-center Neoliberal and nothing will get better.

Why is the entire world at the mercy of a handful of megalomaniacs? These men should live in paranoid fear. Any one of their closest confidants could change the course of history.

You think your job sucks? There are people who spent their Father's Day worrying if the article they wrote on the "massive success of Trump's birthday parade was" is good enough to not get a call from the administration to get fired. #NoKings

I'm seeing clips of Donnie's parade. By the looks of it, we have the whitest military in the world.

Israel has killed 55,000 Palestinian civilians in the past 2 years. Not Hamas terrorists. Civilians- children, mothers, and fathers.

Stop pretending your racism is patriotism.

Elon bends the knee to Trump, again. What a soggy beta cuck. Elon, wipe the orange from your mouth before speaking to us.

The Big Bang theory may be getting replaced in favor of something stranger: our universe may exist within a black hole, the edge of our observable universe being the event horizon of our parent black hole.

A lot of people are debating Trump's "legal authority" to do the things he's doing. A lot of people also don't understand what a dictatorship is.

The Fermi Paradox asks, "Where are all the civilizations?" when we peer into the universe. The Great Filter theory responds: there is a step in the evolution of life that is so difficult to overcome, it destroys nearly every civilization that reaches it. Are we in front of, or behind this filter?

75% of the universe is dark matter, of which we know essentially nothing about. Of the 25% remaining, 99% of that is in a plasma state- stars and nebula, mostly. All of the physical, tangible stuff that we see is just 0.25% of the universe. We are not the norm; we are the oddity.

What was the fall of the Roman Empire like? What was the fall of the British Empire like? We're scrambling to determine how to survive the fall of the American Empire.

Trump has no friends. He has people who serve him. If you're not serving him, you're on his shit list. There is no other place for you.

This is what ChatGPT thinks a Jawa looks like with its hood down. #starwars #thesecretlivesofjawas

Sound about right.

Jonathan Joss, voice actor of John Redcorn on "King of the Hill", was shot dead by a homophobic asshole. It was a hate crime. If the perpetrator is not charged as such, you know why. www.cbsnews.com/news/jonatha...

@usatoday.com how about you don't paywall articles involving public health, such as the recent tomato recall. No? Capitalism still wins? Ok 💀

There has never been a high-profile "whistleblower leak" posted to 4chan that was later confirmed as true by independent investigation or reputable media. Essentially every “4chan whistleblower” turns out to be a hoax or LARP. It is time to start ignoring that website. Nobody is leaking info there.

mRNA vaccines, EVs, and AI are some of the most vilified technological advancements of the past 20 years. Fear and ignorance over technology continues to hold back society from the classless utopia that Star Trek promised us.
