It’s grimly hilarious that our government’s McCarthyist crackdowns on opposition have got so bad, so idiotic and so malicious that they may have now bullshat themselves into prosecuting the national security advisor’s wife for a terrorist offence, over a tweet.

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.

What are your thoughts on this topic about which you almost certainly have zero knowledge? Could they perhaps be used to justify the NHS budget cuts the government is going to make anyway? Would a TV documentary by a right-wing crank psychiatrist help you get there?

I'm so tired of being told I should hang out with someone who considers me a race traitor. Even if it turns out they're not a fanatical skull-measurer, we'll still fundamentally disagree on the moral status of capitalism, an unbridgeable gap.

A system that turns to *Boris fucking Johnson* to rescue it from the public is not much of a democracy, I think. It’s an insulting kakistocracy where our openly corrupt leaders and their media allies load boulders onto one side of the scales of justice, then give you the finger with both hands.

Why are AI fliers so prevalent? In my opinion, it's not just that they're easy and cheaper than a designer, it's because most people have terrible taste and think they are cool. I will not see this in my online art bubble, but the fact is, most people think bad shit is better than good shit.

There were suspicions voiced at the time that many people running the Scottish football authorities in 2012 had an emotional attachment to Rangers that went beyond mere appreciation for the coefficient points

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."
Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton 

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Conservatives desperately want cultural supremacy and yet they are incapable of producing art. I don't even mean great or good art, I mean "works that are arguably artistic." Every cultural artifact they produce in any medium is instantly recognizable as vapid, disposable, and unworthy of attention.
