alarmist morisette

Bro literally thinking "hey a Cuban crisis in October worked out great for Kennedy, let's try it"

Americans were upset about inflation, so they threw out the leaders who oversaw slowing inflation, opted for a candidate promising to raise prices faster, and got what they voted for.

"Do not, my friends, become addicted to water"-ass religion. The fact is, WECs cultivate evil in the way they said Satanists did, and they're violently fanatical in the way they say Muslims are. It's all projection.

Historical moment! The first-ever aerial evacuation of a person from the frontline using a UAV. ​An infantryman from the 30th Mechanized Brigade was wounded while holding a position. Due to intense enemy drone activity and heavily mined terrain, evacuating him using standard ground-based

Article kinda dances around it, but the important thing to realize is that the hardcore Trump fans are not disillusioned because they are good people realizing Trump fooled them, but because the Epstein story dovetails with the anti-semitic conspiracy theory that is embedded deep in their ideology

Okay sorry I think we're done with "Tell me [] without telling me []." It had its time. It was always condescendingly smug but now it's also unbearably tedious; I think we can move on.

This is so dumb. When I was in the Army, the most dangerous guys were chill, dorky looking dudes who nerded out on planning and logistics theory because they already knew 23 ways to kill you and had nothing to prove physically. That's what military professionalism really is.

A Hammond B-3 organ. I would play it nonstop for a week, never getting past "Green Onions", and then forget about it.

These are the right questions. I don't know if AI is conscious. I can't prove you're conscious. I'm not sure I'm always conscious. So this question is clearly a proxy for deeper questions that few are willing to articulate. Let's start asking, what if it's true, and does it even matter?

I'm gonna laugh my ass off if Elon spent all this money to move his shit to Texas and then rig the election only to end up with a Democrat governor shining a light up his ass for the next 4-8 years.

Throw Momma From The Train For Tax Purposes

It may be time for early voting in your district. Look into it! I just voted this morning. Zero lines, zero jackbooted goons, zero weirdness. Don't wait, vote early!

Why do I have to keep learning that democracy actually hinges on the decision of some random unelected office called the "deemster of congressional establishmentarianism" to continue inking his rubber stamp in black instead of blue.

What the approach reveals is that for these people, parody is the beginning and end of their ideas. They're not trying to change society, they're trying to sell content to people who like to fantasize that slinging barbs and consuming parody is a theory of change.

Everybody needs to block & boycott The Onion and all associated Onion people. They've been brainwormed into leftoid nonsense for a while now, but the "I'm not touching you" Judenhass has departed the realm of anything that can be called Palestinian advocacy. It's nothing but hate.

One of reasons that the whole attmepted rank pulling thing people do about being “protest elders” or “hardcore longtime activists” isn’t something you have to necessarily respect is because at a certain point its clear this shit is just your hobby, like you just like going to protests.

But that's why he's doing it. Hegseth could never make the grade as SF, so he's going to make them shave and get testosterone tests. I'm sure he enjoyed making misery for Sikh and Black soldiers, but this is all about operator envy.

what does it mean if I have no idea what any of this is about

It can't be stressed enough, the only way to deal with Republicans is to shove their own medicine down their throat, twice as hard as necessary, and laugh while you're doing it, until they beg you to reverse their own policy.

I don't think we can prove whether AI is conscious or intelligent any more than we can any human on the other side of a chat screen. The bigger question is, what would be the implications of that determination? What would have to change if we decide they are conscious? Nothing? Everything?

The leopards... ah fuck it I can't do it. Nobody deserves to have their child murdered by the police, no matter who they voted for, no matter how dumb they are.

For God's sake, this is craven. The Russians have been trying to obliterate US companies in Ukraine repeatedly and with some success. The US government says nothing at all.

No matter how many times you game shit out, this is the only thing that’s true.

The platonic ideal of a Republican

tee hee

Mel Blanc screams are like Greek fire, we lost the technology to make sounds like this

I'll have what he's having

1.) I strongly believe Dems should hold the line on trans rights 2.) I believe we should call out any of them who actually sell us out 3.) The fact Actual Literal Trans Woman Sarah McBride gets accused of plotting trans genocide daily makes the accusations people make on here lack credibility

“trump will destroy everything he cannot own in perpetuity” is one reason i am filled with dread over 2028

There are protestors I support, and there protesters that I want the police to fire upon until they run out of ammunition. Everything is contingent.

If only SK gets nuked, that's the optimistic scenario.

the best way to put it is that these people are not *voters*, if the term denotes a person who routinely goes to the polls to cast a ballot. they are, instead, *trump fans* who go to the polls to cast a ballot for donald trump, who is their parasocial father

But most people don't see code, nor do they see someone using Claude to figure out a weird permissions issue in a self hosted B2B app. They see dickbag startup founders saying they're going to help bosses fire everyone, or shitty slop art.

I'd love to know who spanked Musk so badly at chess that he's still posting sour grapes about it at least a decade later. Probably it was a girl.

This one's been a favorite of mine for years now

Every. Fucking. Time.

A stark metaphor for vibe coding

Who knows if it sticks, but for now haha suck it Bezos lmao

We are all dogs locked in god’s hot car

My crack at Natalie Harp mania. She's obviously a stone cold weirdo, but what's more telling is how the White House is hyper-defensive about she clings to Trump like a barnacle. Having a full-time babysitter draws attention to Trump's age. www.salon.com/2026/08/19/t...
