Yeah, and what this means is that our choices are either to live in a world of chaos and violence or to build a new world-system to replace the old one

Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

Unfortunately, he's still around. He gave a speech yesterday about how human rights are only for citizens.

This is one of the curlers on the USA Paralympic curling team and I told him today that he should post about his Paralympic experience on BlueSky because people on BlueSky get very excited whenever anybody doing anything cool in the world posts through it on BlueSky instead of other websites

I mean, given that any semblance of a spine Gavin Newsom may have seems to demanifest every time he gets on a podcast, I feel like this could easily get really, really funny

figure 5.1 U.S. Economic Growth, 1790–2012

it's funny you can see how much the New Deal fixed macroeconomic stability within the United States, and the elite hated FDR for it

geopolitics, 2026: every nation makes the absolutely worst decision known to man

Mort from Madagascar about to burst into tears

The Best Buy cashier selling me yet another two 32GB sticks of DDR5 RAM, knowing damn well I'm going to eat them in front of him again

i feel like this will just be the default wave of the future primarily because by 2028, the international order is going to be in the shitter and the left is the only one that reconstruct

the Nazis so disliked the practice of humanitarian rescue sometimes practiced by the Kriegsmarine that they *explicitly banned it*

Yeah but the Biden DOD was Woke DEI, they didn't even call themselves the Department of WAR like manly men, how could they possibly have any vital intel on all this?

Don't get me wrong, whoever made this shit definitely deserves to get sent straight to the Shadow Realm, but I'm choosing not to see it as a sign that we as a whole are doomed.

Tbh, I disagree with the framing here. If anything, I think the sheer unadulterated cringe on display here will make it all the easier for the country as a whole to come back from this.

Those who make Karadžić impossible will make Ceaușescu inevitable

I feel like we could get a 49-state landslide in 2028 if the Dems just spammed every inch of ad space possible with this exact image

A Reductress post features a photo of Kristi Noem with the headline, “Kristi Noem Put Down for Being Too Hard to Train”

Screaming

Hahaha get fucked puppy-killer

Politicians and journalists on X keep referencing right-wing obscurities as major political issues, and keep framing major political issues of the day from a right-wing perspective. Getting your perspective from X is even worse and is more misleading than mindlessly following polling numbers.

I don't think we should be giving AI any sort of power over life and death.

This has basically been my experience posting on here vs. posting on the Other Site, except I'll also occasionally get like a dozen cringe-but-earnest boomers posting random memes from their camera rolls in my mentions

"One clause says that only the state has the right to promote “a system of symbols of Chinese civilisation”"
civilisational discourse in action: as I've been saying, it's about claiming difference internationally and erasing difference internally.

Indeed, and I recently had some serious issues with Microsoft being unhelpful, so I'm not in much of a mood to treat them charitably.

Hi hello just QRPing some info abt this coming in from the other site. This news is fake, it was a hallucination.

Turns out it was, yeah. Lapse of judgement on my part.

Well, that's a relief

It is true that he has absolutely no real views whatsoever but that's actually really helpful in this situation, because you should take it as a clear sign and a win if someone with no beliefs feels the wind is blowing in your direction.

An idiotic fight

Interesting that the fiercest defenders of Israel's "right" to occupy the land of three or four different countries at once are also of the belief that Ukrainians don't want to live under Ukrainian rule.
