The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of:

“people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

Every playoff game they try to get a hype clip of Jokić walking down the tunnel, and almost every time he ends up looking like this #nba

She’s running

Krastev called Orban the right-wing Castro, which I think is exactly right: the leader of a small relatively insignificant country, that nevertheless became the ideological lodestar for a global movement after being propped up by russia

“Blackpill” has become Parker of my vernacular because *gestures at socio-political situation*

The music business looks like fraud, but it’s actually gambling

Another South Korean fad I'd love to import is throwing streamers and corrupt presidents into prison

Hold on, you're saying that people spend money? To manufacture airplay and popularity for artists?? In the music industry?? This sounds huge, I wonder if there are any other cases

Saved this one

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.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Good fucking riddance. But we should also specifically note that it’s *Republicans* much more likely to ride out scandals, and to be allowed by their rancid leadership and voters to do so.

It’s all coming full horseshoe

Trump saying the Pope being weak on crime is a great example of how vacuous crime discourse is

Disliking both Hamas and Likud is the correct position.

holding "why is no one signing up for the skilled trades" and "becoming an electrician or plumber requires 10 years of training and apprenticeship working for a shithead boomer who supervises you while you make $15/hr" in my hands like the guy doing the shape-matching test in IDIOCRACY

The Swalwell thing and the 'its known in CA politics' of it all is how people lose trust in politicians, parties, and journalists

downwardly mobile burnouts who are mad at their doctor/lawyer parents to the left of me, back-to-the-land teen pregnancy enthusiasts to the right, here I am

stuck in the middle with you

This is a big part of diddy piker’s appeal imo

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.

We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

Begging people to understand that the troops are just folks!

"We let hippie folklore, bunk science, and gutter racism decide what we put on the shelf"

your boring awful middle of the conference needs to sweat the general, basically

Jesus fucking ballin against Satan. Didn't see that crossover coming did you Beelzebub.

Sometimes it's important to take a step back and remember what Christmas is really about

Internet leftism: not even once

I don't think I've seen even *one* piece of Iranian regime slopaganda that doesn't try to push the Protocols conspiracy theory (with Epstein worked in, of course).

Not one.

The primary goal of their propaganda war is to encourage the stupidest Americans alive to scapegoat the Jews.
