This is so well done. 👌

TIL that’s how that word is spelled

As a child, I was told that Fascism is rule by Fear, Force, and Coercion, not rule of law. (by a WWII veteran).

That sums it up

In ancient Sumerian the word for left-handed and the word for extraterrestrial are the same.

Realistically? It gives Trump the excuse he’s been looking for to declare marshal law, and we’re somehow even worse off than we are now.

“Just duck and cover, the tiny plastic half-desk/chair combo will certainly keep you safe from the horrifying death we remind you about on a regular basis, now turn to page 6 in your textbooks.”

It’s not “even though”, it’s “because”.

Well now that’s just awkward for everyone

Mother’s side or father’s side?

Honestly, if it gets all of these assholes off the planet, it cant come soon enough

We should do this in San Diego right as the Artemis crew reenter the atmosphere - sonic booms and a fireball from the sky

PEBKAC - problem exists between keyboard and chair

You were trying to send a message. Great, but it left us in an even worse situation. Could Harris have done better? Yes. Should she have - I’ll say yes to that, too. But at the end of the day, the voters decide the outcome, and everyone that didn’t vote for Harris is complicit in Turnip’s actions

No, it’s a very rational argument. It was a principled, but incredibly privileged and myopic, stance to take to not vote for Harris in 2024. I get it, but ultimately it was a stupid choice. Everyone knew that the only two outcomes of that election were Harris or Donald. Pretending otherwise was dumb

As much as I appreciate getting reposts and other engagement on my posts, I have a blanket policy of blocking bots that auto-repost/reply. There’s enough noise on this platform, we don’t need that.

Not really, it works quite well, when used properly. Just most people don’t bother to learn how to do that (or have the understanding or experience to do it well). The problem is folks who treat it like some sort of god-machine, instead of as a particularly quick intern.

This is true, but unrelated to AI, in my opinion. It’s been that way for decades. A good dev can build a good app regardless of tool they’re using. Claude works great as a coding tool. Vibe coding is the reason we’re getting slop.

And what is that guy doing to it?

WTF is happening in the background of this image?

Clearly you’ve never seen the holiday special

One more thing before I drop off: the Biden did a horrible job at handling the situation over there. I’m not even remotely defending their actions here. It’s just that Trump is worse, and I’m pissed we have to deal with the objectively worse world now because some people don’t understand that.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. I’m not sidestepping, it’s not relevant to my points that a) Harris calling it a genocide wouldn’t have mattered without action, and b) Trump was still worse by every conceivable measure. I’m super done talking about this now, it’s a well-trod road

The first ceasefire was agreed to before Trump took office, by a day or two. And the talks began around 8 months before that.

So you’re just going to blatantly ignore reality, cool cool. Also, yes, Harris did speak out about the atrocities, she didn’t say enough, but she did say something. Remind me what Trump said about Gaza? Something about “finish the job”, I believe. And “Riviera of the Middle East”.

Do you mean the ceasefire that was brokered by Biden the day before Turnip took office? That Israel broke two months later, under Trump.

GenX is really two microgenerations together. Those of us closer to the millennial side tend to be pretty progressive, those closer to the boomer end tend to be selfish conservative pricks.

The eldest likely voted for Reagan2, I’m right at the tail end and my first presidential vote was in 2000

Replying to comments is a waste of my time, mute mute mute. Let them scream into the void with their idiocy.

Because in the end it’s the voters who made the choice, and dumb fucks like you are directly responsible for all the heinous shit that’s happened under Trump. She wasn’t a good candidate but she was still, in every possible way, better than Trump. Only a delusional idiot would argue otherwise.
