Gödel's Poophole

Look guys, some people suck too much shit to be allowed on here so I took proactive measures You're welcome. Feel free to steal this idea and apply it to other dipshits @baseballcrank.bsky.social

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

One of the most important financial stories out there if you want to know how and why the same five evil guys wind up owning everything.

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

there is no hell hot enough

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

What this piece says—and then derangedly refuses to hear itself saying!!—is that seniors spend less money because the American work force got its stable, guaranteed pensions taken away and replaced with personal investment savings. And then it wonders why they're risk-averse with the money!

Whether or not ppl cutting off their parents is an actual phenomenon (is it, really?) or just clicky outrage bait, anti-estrangement is a paternalistic, socially regressive position — it’s so similar to being anti-divorce that the two are virtually indistinguishable.

The third piece I’ve read in as many days “concerned” that Americans are ”sitting on capital” that needs to be “freed up”. www.theatlantic.com/economy/2026...

millennials are killing the 'please support me in my increasingly precarious retirement' industry (quoted images are four op-eds from the last four months, in the wsj, nyt, guardian, and newsweek, all talking about the perils of kids today cutting off their parents)

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

@publixofficial.bsky.social should name and shame the person responsible for naming these so-called "two bite brownies"

we know

called it baby

This bill would abolish ICE, DHS, and CBP, transferring legitimate customs duties to other departments. It would sunset Section 219 of the INA close the Guantánamo Bay detention facility and shutter all immigration detention centers. You have my sword, milady.

This is an actual reason why Bari Weiss’ CBS foreign editor told staff that they could not include reporting on Netanyahu receiving advance warning of a Hamas attack before Oct 7. The astonishing tirade in @status.news www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

After another shooting and the raid on Ilhan Omar's home, Rep. Delia Ramirez says abolishing ICE isn't enough. She has introduced a bill to "dismantle" the entire Department of Homeland Security.

It does appear the "data center eliminated Nazi and otherwise fuckface bots" narrative is basically wishcasting, it does show you how popular getting rid of this shit would broadly be, and that maybe a smart person should run on it.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

just missing the mark by a slim 20 billion

guess I'll be writing in the corpse of Vladimir Lenin for Congress

only been slightly less disastrous for international tourism than COVID...so far

i will venmo 100 dollars to the journalist who points this out live next time he trots this back out bc you know he's gonna beat it to death like the most annoying kid in your middle school class trying out their first joke workshop

charlotte-mecklenburg putting up a 9 pm curfew for anyone 18 and under is fucking insane old enough to work for a shit minimum wage but not old enough to drive around after dark? the fuck are we doing here people

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

😂😂😂

that judge should *at best* rot in prison forever and i will vote for any candidate that promises to make that sort of thing happen

they took thirty years and thirty pounds off that walking corpse

a lot of dodge charger repossessions in the coming months

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

See here how The Stance has entered his body and his mind. The Stance infests him. The metamorphosis is complete

Republicans, in their infinite wisdom, left a big gambling loophole in the Medicaid work requirements. I'm no fan of the gambling industry, but if you are on Medicaid and struggling to deal with the work requirements, taking a $580 bet on both sides of an outcome is one way of getting around them.
