the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win

Republicans right now:

It's almost like the Spartan living conditions that idiots like Hegseth want to impose on military personel are the best breeding ground for communicable diseases.

AND THAT'S WHY MOST MILITARY FROM INDUSTRIALIZED COUNTRIES MOVED AWAY FROM IT

hello to everyone else included in the "anti-ai ai haters" blocklist the technical advisor of bluesky just followed 🫡 it's an honor just to be nominated

It's a tough competition for what member of the Bluesky staff understands the Bluesky userbase the least, but @why.bsky.team is a top contender.

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win.

These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

One big political divide is between people who believe germs cause disease and people who believe Those People cause disease. It was pretty evident right away during the pandemic

Let's call this policy what this is.

It's socialism. It's Leftism. And it's curing actual ills. Righting institutional wrongs.

It's not coming from someone who is infallible, or someone who is always correct.

It's coming from someone who promised to help and is trying to keep those promises.

A poster with a colorful stack of books on the left and this text on the right: “Hey, Teenagers: Pay close attention to the books people try to ban. Then, make a beeline to read those books, if you can. Find out for yourself why those people want that book banned. Find out for yourself if they can be trusted to know what’s best for you.” ~ Jeff Zentner

Just the dumbest motherfuckers doing the dumbest shit because they think it proves some idiotic point.

One of the more annoying aspects of TKO-Era WWE is how they constantly remind you that all of the stars are out tonight for #Raw including NFL defensive end Wellington Beef, UFC fighter Bonk Sadventure, and YouTube Comedian The Gooch!

Happy 30th, Metal Slug 💚

Every gay friend group

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

I really hate the - honestly very right wing - framing that it is somehow good to constantly be shocked and offended. This is simply not how the real world works *or should be expected to work*

Where were you when…?

One fun thing about WWE's modern marketing is when retiring wrestlers do the bow down and kiss the canvas thing they're now smooching logos for things like "Kid Kloudz: The First Vape for Children."

I always said he should have kept the mask and total public silence

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

So far Orton/Cody has been the answer to "What if someone tried to do the Austin/Hart double turn but it lasted forever and was boring and Pat McAfee was there because you're in hell, you're in literal hell for running over that drifter when you were 17?"

Pat McAfee came out in a ref shirt and did a slow count when Randy went for the cover and then Randy RKOed Pat and lost. Calling that finish Russo-esque might actually be an insult to Russo.

Orange Cassidy with Fast Five. This is canon.
