trumps appointees being alcoholic incompetents and trumps jan 6th supporters being pedophiles seems like something historians are going to be studying tbh

A flatscreen display on a "smart" water fountain, demanding to be reconnected to the internet.

In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Infograph about censorship. It compares it to magnets.

Sorted my thoughts about censorship, so I can stop thinking about it.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

Fuck Substack now and forever.

Genuinely depressing to me that your partner has to Doordash to raise money for your cancer treatment when you get old. What happens if you don't have a partner? Are we just working to pay a landlord and save up for a medical emergency when we're elderly?

“Oh but Republicans would…”

Lemme stop you right there. I know that Republicans are okay voting for men accused of sexual assault. Republicans are also okay with voting for racists, child rapists, genocidal maniacs, and whatever the fuck pathology is a “Ted Cruz.”

So miss me with that argument.

"Magataotao" on Twitter writes: "I am Catholic. This👇is not my Pope." Attached is a video of the Pope saying that we should search for peace and reject war. A community note under their tweet says: "You are not a Catholic if you do not accept the Pope, but rather a schismatic. Canon 751: “Schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff,” ie. the Pope. https://www.vatican.va/archive/cod-iuris-canonici/eng/documents/cic_lib3-cann747-755_en.html"

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

Tabby stands on hind legs with one paw outstretched toward a TV displaying a capsule above water.

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

how much money does the marine corps lose

The next administration must take the lesson of this one; every single immigration judge hired under Trump 2.0 must be fired on day one.

Sprinkling New Yorker-style formulations like coöperation and preëmpt into all my writing in the hopes that it will confuse Isaac Chotiner that I am a friend and he won’t attack

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

{endless fucking howling}

The antebellum United States was an absolutely wretched, racist, and evil country.

Somehow, the Confederacy was even worse. And on this day in 1865, it died.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day. Rest in Piss to one of the most evil regimes in history.

*talking to teenage militant atheist self*

current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church

teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government

current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

The white flag, aka the official flag of the Confederacy

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

"sorry I can't come to your once-in-250-years party. I'll be busy doing something it would actually make much more logical sense to do four days later. I bumped it up on purpose so I could throw it in your face. eat shit forever, amen"

there is no hater on earth like a hater from Chicago

dad: so whats the deal with the war

me: *speaks for 5 min*

dad: wow that is an impressive analysis

me: thanks I took it from a person I follow online who is a subject matter expert

dad: oh whats their name

me: They are a cartoon dog wearing underwear as a face mask called Piss Prevail On Earth

This is just so corrupt on every conceivable level. There is no excusing it.

These people are The Shittiest Gangsters and we need to throw them in jail for the rest of their lives.

these are the stupidest people to ever live

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

"This is what you get when you elect Republicans."

Every Dem within 100 feet of a camera needs to be saying this repeatedly.

Every time we elect Republicans, we get dumbass wars, tax cuts for rich people, and financial crises. Every time.

Fucking say it!

"I can not believe America has becom--"

bitch, we have Andrew Jackson on our money. our default money. the only money the bank robot knows how to hand out.

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

Tell me, when you drop bombs on giant crowds of peaceful protestors, are you the good guys?
