It's also a classical journey through the warped mind of a bully- they really thought because they hit first and hard the other side was gonna curl into a ball and beg for it to just end because that is their response to being punched every time

The U.S. made this class of stunningly stupid, pudding-soft MAGA parasites who have managed to move through life without ever encountering genuinely meaningful pushback. This led them to starting this wildly dangerous war in Iran - and looks like their reality distortion field is no longer working.

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her

it's also really weird to me personally because when I read I love seeing all these diff people and characters and their different ways of approaching things, what is actually even the enjoyment in acting like every story is about you being the way you already are, I don't even understand the trip

It's really OK to not be the main character at every point of life and just read and watch stories about other people without turning it into some fulfilment ritual

I maintain that "relatability" is one of the worst things to happen to creative writing and it must be combated

The American Right Is Into Reparations Now Victims of DEI, the Trump regime has said in so many words, must be made whole again.

The Trump regime is looking for victims of workplace diversity policies. The faith could not possibly be worse.

US Employers Unexpectedly Cut Jobs, Unemployment Rises February data call labor market stabilization narrative into question

Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump and a Republican Congress "for the economy." This is what you get, a sputtering job creation engine that can't make progress like before and keeps rolling backwards.

Maybe this is just me, but I kind of think massive military operations, in which we're demanding unconditional surrender as the outcome, probably should be authorized by Congress.

It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.

All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.
