We have stickers now blaming trump like we used to have them blaming Biden. Same gas station.

It's a photograph of a gas pump in the evening sun. It shows $31 for 7.7 gallons of gas and there's a sticker on the pump of Donald Trump pointing up at the price with the caption "I did that!"

There was a great illustration in one of my old text books. This is the closest I could find. Tales of Buddhist Hells, Jigoku Zoushi

Depicts some people in a pit or ocean of excrement, their heads are above the surface and they’re swollen with giant bug bites and there are wasps flying in the air. It’s a 12th century Japanese painting from a scroll. Dark ink outlines washed with red and brown.

Haha increases the temperature is a funny way to spell threatens and does war crimes.

Screenshot of the fucking NYT:

The antagonistic post showed that there were really no boundaries when it comes to people Mr. Trump might target - the leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics is apparently fair game. Shortly after sending his post on Sunday evening, Mr. Trump disembarked from Air Force One and answered questions from reporters. When asked why he sent the post, the president said that he did not think the pope was doing a good job and suggested that Leo "likes crime, I guess." He accused the pope of supporting nuclear weapons and called him a "very liberal person."
Mr. Trump's angry counterpunch to the soft-spoken Leo, who was born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, illustrated how differently two of the world's most powerful Americans handle conflict. One pleads for resolution, while the other reflexively increases the temperature.

I blocked that lady that said she hated Trivers but he was cool for doing some science and Zionism. Who am I to sit and judge? Just some rando that isn’t friends with well-known pedophiles. The bar is sooo low to judge these guys and I’ve cleared it.

But the media was complicit in preventing the leaks to enable the bombing and kidnapping.

Bravo to President Trump's administration. There were zero leaks about the operation in Venezuela. If this was 2017, it would have leaked days before.
Total professionalism from President Trump and his Cabinet.
Air tight. And they all looked great celebrating together at Mar a Lago.

Whites love the Gop. When will the white community address this? www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/co...

Various maps of the US election outcomes by electoral vote when only counting specific demographics. The one for people of color is entirely blue. The one for whites is pretty much all red. Washington state is the only one that’s blue in every scenario.

This Noah Pinion thing is so stupid because no one even knows if you read Matty everyday unless you’re posting about it or plagiarizing him. Damn. No is getting famous for muting Matty. That’s not even what “getting canceled” is. 🤦🏼

Screenshot of a wall of text. It reads:

yield activity. It's basically outrage entrepreneurship.
Of course, this means that there was an incentive for progressive purity spirals and tent-shrinking. If you're a progressive looking for new people to denounce, the most tempting targets are probably center-left liberals who have heretofore been safe from cancellation.
Hating Donald Trump is old news. But hating Matt Yglesias? That could get you some real attention!
And so the ranks of the online cancel-mobs were probably also swollen by people who participated in the mobs out of fear that if they didn't, they too would be canceled. This gave rise to a phenomenon I call ponzi screaming —

Just scrolling old screenshots and found this banger tweet.

A screenshot of a tweet by me years ago. It reads:

For real. Billionaires aren't going to opt to live on Mars. Underground, beneath a frozen hellscape eking out a living powered by RTGs delivered from Earth, drinking recycled urine. Trying not to get and die from cancer or simple injuries with minimal health facilities.

If there's anything there to exploit after the pioneering science is done it's going to be serfs living out there, depending on each other, stronger together. It's gonna be a place of suffering held together by values billionaires hate: community, sustainability, collectivism.

There's no rugged individuals subsisting in Antartica or on the pacific sea-floor, places much easier to get to and set up camp than Mars.
