It's Replace the Barrel of a Gun With a Modelo Tuesday, where we remove the barrel of a gun from our mouths and replace it with one to three Modelos.
People wont take us seriously until we actually knock out the bully. In 2029 Dems must throw these dogs into a cell they’ll never hope to crawl out of
From the GOP to the “free” press, these people must fear us
“True strategic bombing has never been tried before”
poverty, video games, and success (1/3)
i'd say my dog is smarter than about 15% of billionaires. i know it'd probably be funnier if i said all of them, or 50% of them, or something like that, but i think 15% is realistically closer
staying in a fancy hotel for a few days is nice but nothing hits like returning to your shitty little apartment where all your garbage ass crap is
A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job.
One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution.
Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?
IF YOU’RE IN LINE TO GET CONTROL OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, STAY IN LINE
No we should definitely tilt the playing field against the fascist party. There's a pretty strong case that we should de facto ban the Republican Party.
Highly recommend finding a 3rd space (I know, harder than it sounds) with some sort of weekly meeting and just… going. every single time. Try to make some new friends and then see where it goes from there. I lucked into a few good places around me that helped but YMMV
9% of kitchen table issue dems going "wow, based!" is so funny
When playing certain games, you gotta ask yourself
Am I enjoying this or am I making ice cubes?
You deserve better than ice cubes.
MechTech lighting up a cig before hitting 'Boot' on their diagnostic terminal. The hard drive whirs and fans coughing particulates. A boxy CRT monitor fizzles to life, heralded by a barely audible whine and hiss. They look up at the 80 foot goliath in their care.
"Time to get to work."
It took this dude one year to put “Nixon in the middle of Watergate” numbers on the board.
In some ways he’s a generational talent at the peak of his game.
The Jets still don't actually know if they're taking Arvell Reese or David Bailey, internal debate gets heated while they're on the clock, the new eight minute timer surprises them, and they time out at pick 2.
Every intelligent speculative fiction universe missed the mark by assuming things would happen for reasons that make sense
A twitter conversation between elon musk and an account called “not the bee.” In it, elon musk is advocating for “universal high income” to offset losses in jobs due to AI and robotics. He mentions the “Ian Banks Culture books” as the humanity too look for.
“Read the Culture books for a vision of the future!!!!” You’d sun yourself the second you saw someone walk into the gender change booth. fuck off back to heinlein you miserable jackass and let the trannies inherent the stars as we were destined.
Doctors say that measles is one of the deadliest and most contagious infectious diseases in the world. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and cuts penises off raccons says you'll be fine if you drink raw milk and bathe in raw sewage. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.
I know about 600 ppl at the local renfair who would kill this guy in under 8 seconds in a swordfight where only he had a sword
They told us to log off
Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding
hawking a line of branded Mountain Goats smart glasses. no matter where you look things look a little bleaker and also the wearer cannot remove the glasses once worn. I’m disrupting this sector
SICARIO is a weird case tbh where I think there's a tension between the screenplay (which thinks Alejandro and Matt are cool guys) and the actual movie as directed by Villenueve (which clearly thinks they are the villains)
A really fascinating little mini-genre is "movies where the director is clearly trying to undermine the screenwriter's intention" and SICARIO is one of the biggest ones. Not many of them because the director will usually just rewrite the script if they disagree with it! bsky.app/profile/bill...
While I love this for Russia, the war becoming nothing but swarms of autonomous Hunter-Killer drones fighting each other and blowing up people and infrastructure behind the lines feels terrifying.
