rule number one imho is "don't anthropomorphize Trump"

It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office

everything about DOGE was fucking wildly illegal and everyone involved in it should spend time in prison and have their assets seized

“If a frog had wings, he wouldn’t bump his ass so much, know what I mean?”

Alternatively, it’s an excellent feature.

We passed the Turing test and it turned out we're the ones who failed.

I hope someone tries to do an exorcism on Trump and I hope it's televised. I think l we all deserve a little treat

this should be the opposition rallying cry in every country where fascists have been ascendant

We have to raise our political expectations.

it's george soros saying "tell viktor it was me. i want him to know it was me"

A screenshot of an opinion by Oliver Kornetzke from August 18th, 2025. There’s a photo of a tired, bloated Donald trump over the opinion that reads: behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill fitting suit: the sleeves of economy, man, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a clansman, the sexism of a back alley creep, and the greed of a hedge fund ghoul – all spray painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a country fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been – arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed, exalted as ambition, and corruption worship like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol, proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spike, it doesn’t just lose its soul – it shits out this bloated, obscenity, and calls it a leader.

Reupping this cause it’s evergreen and I feel better knowing someone out there called him out like this

I whole-heartedly second this recommendation.

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

Unfortunately, politics isn't a Gifted and Talented classroom where there is a "right" answer to get that can be determined by following the exact right math and come to the MOST CORRECT conclusion that you can then beat all the other students about the head and shoulders with

“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.

My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award

Ooo nice!

I’m just a simple country sheet-metal worker and chipmunk herder, but don’t you have to have a strategic goal in mind if you want strategic success?

I’m a boomer. Revenge for 1979 is not a thing with us, just like we wouldn’t want to bomb Vietnam again just because we lost that too. This is strictly a FoxNews’ crowd thing-regardless of age-who have been duped into Trump world views. This war is weakening and isolating the US for no purpose.

Weinberg’s (?) Law: “If Builders Built Buildings the Way Programmers Wrote Programs, Then the First Woodpecker That Came Along Would Destroy Civilization”

why do I find it so wildly offensive and paternalistic when I see folks suggest that LLM use can help 'disadvantaged' people to 'write better' or 'save time'?

because it is such a sad underestimation of people's abilities, a surrender to a thoughtless monoglot ideology, a celebration of ignorance

This is Perfect......
I saw it first from @nothoodlum.bsky.social

@ItsBCJim The bad part of getting older is that you become an NPC, the good part is that being an NPC rocks. Nothing like walking down the street with a thought bubble that's just a sandwich you're looking forward to. Protagonism is best left to teens and the insane

description from Huntington library: "A lithograph printed on heavy paper. Satirical "death certificate" issued for the Southern Confederacy. Mourning border, each line in different typeface, with: Died, Near the South-Side Rail Road, / on Sunday, April 9th, 1865, / The Southern Confederacy, / Aged Four Years, / Conceived in Sin, Born in iniquity, Nurtured by Tyranny, Died of / a Chronic Attack of Punch. / Abraham Lincoln, Attending Physician. / U.S. Grant, Undertaker. / Jeff Davis, Chief Mourner. Below in smaller print an epitaph that ends with: And this one line shall grace your grave-- / Your death gave freedom to the slave." https://hdl.huntington.org/digital/collection/p16003coll6/id/5033

to all who celebrate...

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.

Watching Leavitt is like watching a dog eat its own shit.

he still needs to be dragged out of office in chains btw. nothing has changed
