Cuz he’s an absolute ledge, brevs.

The fuck I do. I have no interest in what this rapist old man is gargling about.

The most disappointing to date has been the gummy pickle — why would that NOT taste like a pickle?

Ok.

• Literally everyone else.

I use a third-party browsing client, and I honestly assumed it was an accessibility feature provided by the app. Either way, it’s a really nice addition, and now that I know it’s “hand made” by users, I’m even more impressed with the community for using it.

Ah… I always figured those were AI captions. I actually thought it was brilliant in its understatement.

Cool. I’ll try harder to be as erudite as the rest of you.

The AI description of this picture is “A protester in a jacket with a polo jacket meets a mounted policeman with a baton.”

That doesn’t look like North Korea at all. Make America Go Authoritarian, I guess…

Edit: For those thinking I’m cracking on other countries: Understand that this is not something we’ve seen before in the U.S. Yes, we tend to wave flags too much, but our jingoism is usually focused on America itself rather than any individual politician. We may swear allegiance to the country, but we’ve never been asked to swear allegiance to a politician. In fact, when taking office, our politicians swear allegiance to the country, rather than the other way around.

So American manufacturers have to move to other countries to afford steel now, as it’s cheaper to import cars than the materials to make them.

Fuck your jobs, fuck your household expenses, and fuck your votes — the GOP

The U.S. is becoming less relevant in the world market, thanks to Individual 1. If car manufacturers want to maximize profits, they’re not particularly concerned with the regulations of his dying corner of the world.

Anyone who says being a dishwasher is an easy job has never been a dishwasher:

We had our chance to prosecute our criminals, but instead we crowned them gods.

I burned two DVDs yesterday. First time in almost a decade, but it made me wonder why I don’t do it more often. I still have 98 blank DVDs on a spool purchased years ago.

Not quite over, but the chances of establishing a majority large enough to effect change are fairly overwhelming. The U.S. needs a pretty big education campaign to teach folks how democracy is actually SUPPOSED to work, but those in power certainly won’t be the ones to initiate it.

Back when I was in college, the only time you’d wear your own school’s logo was when attending a sporting event. Otherwise, folks always wore some other school’s colors — I think the implication was that they had a significant other attending another university. An unspoken “Yea, I have a boy/girlfriend, but you’ve never met them; they go to a different school.”

You are right in that’s not how democracy works. Unfortunately, due to gerrymandering and Citizens United, it’s how the U.S.’s bastardized version of it “works.” Thanks to gerrymandering in my state (which is a test bed for much of the nonsense we’re now seeing at the federal level), I have absolutely no voice in our state legislature, which has recently decided to neuter the other two (actually democratically elected) branches of government here.

The U.S. government does not speak for the majority of its citizens. It speaks for one man and his handlers.

The U.S. won’t need regulations once the last of its trade partners gives up on it. We’ll be free to eat all the domestic lead and asbestos our dear masters deem necessary to feed us.
