short-sighted table-flipping

sure seems like a whole lot of people forgot what the word "auspices" means

like, imagine having no spine all the time

would it be relaxing?

can you imagine being an invertebrate?

the same asshole who said concerns about nazi salutes on stage at inauguration is "liberal nonsense" is the same asshole who tried to tear down a sign at SOTU that says "black people aren't apes" and i can't help but wonder what the connection could possibly be

longing for the bygone days of the buchanan administration

ngl if ella purnell gott into power lifting for the next season of fallout the only people who might get upset are dang fools

i've said it before and i'll say it again: too many wasps, too few figs

On their very first day of training they are told to be, and rewarded for being, hypervigilant. In a constant state of paranoid, finger on the trigger freak out mode.

To as the marines say, have a plan to kill everyone they meet.

And the world is only made better through violence if violence is already inevitable.

Guns and butter...

If you witness act of brutality, imagine yourself (or your child, or your grandparent, or your pet dog), as the victim. It may be uncomfortable, but it's downright wrong to ignore or downplay the brutality, or to make excuses for the perpetrator, or to fantasize about being the brute.

"I can't imagine putting myself in that situation," say the people constantly fantasizing about being the arbiters of moral choice under various conditions of power, from civil wars and zombie apocalypses to playing fallout shelter on their phone while waiting for a doctor's appointment.

fun hollywood fact of the day: bojack horseman actually started out as a caligula biopic inspired by the legend of caligula's horse, incitatus

the worst part about the post-obama world is how often i've found myself agreeing with bill kristol

about every 4 years another wolfenstein comes out and a bunch of people with zero media literacy get really angry

if someone gave me a prize medal made of pure gold, i would replace as many of my teeth as possible with it

i have no doubt that a small piece of chicken and one piece of broccoli and a corn tortilla costs less than 3$ on average, aggregating over all US markets

nevertheless, i would love to see the simulation code they used (and the ai conversation that generated it)

I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it.

The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

lol 28% of people believe that secret codes in scripture can predict lottery numbers

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

the best part about confirmation bias is that it means i was right

Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911

"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

“Those celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk must be thrown out of civil society,” Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) wrote in a post on the social platform X. “I will demand their firing, defunding, and license revocation.”

self defense sure looks an awful lot like a death squad execution nowadays

yearnin' for thanos' snap

some days you're the discontinued dinged up dinner doll, and some days...

no, no, your job is to make *more and more* paperclips.

i was at the back of a very long bus, and the driver was drunk being cheered on by drunk passengers at the front. most people on the back of the bus agreed someone needed to wrestle control away from the driver, but we were all too far away to make it to the front in time. what a weird dream.

just watched an old twilight zone episode where the guy selling the rope to the hangman is also selling magic beans to the accused
