Village Idiot

I'm seeing right-wingers call Trump out. I don't for a second believe that they're saying something they didn't know and believe a year ago. It's just become advantageous to say so, but it's not just the newest grift, it's the newest political strategy of the people they work for.

I woke up, did my usual thing and scrolled my feed. Saw a funny post and thought to myself: "Imagine posting that on April the 1st" and then "Oh shit, that's probably real tho." and finally realized this is what I think every day. We're now living April the 1st forever.

So... An account named "1789 Capital" earned money from the war on Polymarket. On August 7th 1789, The Department of War was founded. Does someone in Trump's DoW own 1789 Capital? We may never know, but I can't stop thinking about it. I fucking hate this timeline.

I think everyone should experience this demonstration of AI competence, explained by a chess pro. Contains some interesting stuff: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g-j...

Remember when George Bush Jr or Vladimir Putin started wars to spark up national sentiment, hoping to boost their own popularity as suck-ass presidents? Glad that's never happening again anywhere ever.

You can condemn political violence, and you should. But don't expect "standing with the Kirk family" to earn you any solidarity from the right the next time a lib or Dem gets attacked. The right's been itching to do political violence for a decade, and they're not going to want to stop now.

Holy crap. Re-watching The Expanse in 2025 is an experience. I dare you to do it.

Scared of the Epstein files coming out, because this administration could just cross out names with with pencil and Trump voters would just go "WHAT COULD IT MEAN?!" Or it could be a hand-written note saying "Bill Clinton and no one else." and they'd go "Take that, libs!"

The Ai isn't going to end us by becoming sentient and |\|uking us, but by making us dumber. www.euronews.com/next/2025/06...

Remember, the Trump administration already rick-rolled the Epstein files once. Baiting people with closure and justice for a laugh is not beyond them.

If you think what's being done to immigrants in the US is good, you're wrong, but also a fool. Immigrants are an easy target, but by no means the end of a list. The working class are also on that list when it comes time to cut labor costs, ie. wages, healthcare, etc. Your rights have been cancelled.

Jesus. Of all the stupid things so far, this is the stupidest. We're less than 5% into this presidency, and it's only gonna get worse as the ground beneath them crumbles, and they brainstorm dumber and dumber distractions. www.fox9.com/news/house-j...

One of my least favorite things about this age is corporate media asking dangerous people for their hot takes on the chaos they helped create.

Remember, hopelessness and nihilism don't exist in a void. Capitalism and fascism use both as a marketing tool. If we want to defeat either, we need perhaps the most revolutionary weapon of all: hope. We matter. Our action matters. Even a small victory matters, and it adds up when we work together.

Years ago, a Pakistani exchange student told me that over there, milk cartons can be half-filled with sand, because you can sell more cartons that way. That's what a total lack of regulation looks like. You might not know it's there, but you'll really notice it when it's gone.

It's kinda funny that Elon wants to be loved, but when he'd have to spend his money and influence on something genuinely good, he becomes Gollum. At that point, it might be fair to say that he loves money more than he loves himself.

Talking about how nonsensical Trump's decrees are is a waste of time. His people breaking his own rules is not an oversight or by accident. It's a power move. They're blatantly telling you "Rules for thee, but not for me." It's a red herring MSM will happily choke on. You don't have to.

Man, Babylon 5 was such a great show. I've heard rumors of a remake, but I'm scared how it might turn out. Would it go as hard as this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3_9...

Sooo... Cops are about to learn that if they were to be assaulted, a MAGA hat is a get out of jail free card. So what happens if they have to uphold the law against the unprosecutable? Who the fuck knows. We're in uncharted waters filled with armed sharks, hungry for blood.

Other cars are better than Tesla, whose stock value is much higher. To investors, Tesla is more than a product; it's an idea, a promise of Star Trek+Matrix marketed by its idiot CEO. It's speculation. That's why undelivered promises don't matter, like a more ambitious Star Citizen with less content.

Civ7 devs: Harriet Tubman is a leader Chat: WOKE WTF Civ7 devs: I'm playing as an authoritarian, so we gotta get rid of these neutral settlements... Chat: WOKE What is this even...

Call me crazy, but Luigi getting support from the left and the right scares me. You can have the feelings you have about what happens to CEOs of healthcare insurance companies, but taking the leap to idolize a right-wing freak smells like a poison fruit to me.
