Pretty sure if someone were to 'joke' about Iran taking out a particular national leader, the Secret Service would be kicking in their door. But a city? Pshaw. It's just locker room talk. Traitor.

I want every Trump golf course ripped up, and reverted to a natural public park. I want every Trump-built building razed to the ground. I want every Trump asset seized and used to fund assistance for the poor. I want his legacy ERASED. He deserves only to be a warning to others. Nothing more.

To be fair, from Trump’s perspective a brain damaged Pekingese puppy is a superior intelligence. But yes, this is just another case of him needing to lick all the cupcakes to mark them as his because he’s an insecure toddler. Pathetic.

Yelling that your industry needs to be slowed down after pulling into the lead position is just a convenient way to freeze your competition. No one has to be given permission to just… stop. They race forward because they choose to.

"Give me what I want now, and you'll get your reward after you can't change your mind" is both the GOP's current SOP, and the sales pitch of evangelicals. Grifters gonna grift. Every time.

Long lines for voting is not a bragging point, it is a third world country symptom. It does not prove your will to vote, only that you have the leisure of doing so. Vote by mail is secure, convenient, and allows time for deliberation. All reasons the GOP want to kill it. Fuck Trump and the GOP.

The near-mystical belief that if you phrase your prompt *just right* then you will absolutely get the truth out of a generative AI system is frighteningly aligned with the sovcit belief that getting the magic incantations of law-speak correct will inevitably give you the desired outcome.

"SPuhAAAAAAACE!" is a running joke in our family, because it is just so damned brilliant in execution. Not in spite of his trying not to lose it laughing, but because he knew to lean in and work it into the bit. Thanks for every bit of life and love of life you brought to us, Mr. Curry.

We goddamned told you... The anti-abortionist end goal is complete control of reproduction. Who can, who *CAN'T*, and who *MUST* have children. Arm in arm with 'replacement doctrine', it's eugenics and white supremacy in clinical garb. 19thnews.org/2026/08/surr...

Why abortion opponents are turning their attention to banning surrogacy
Surrogacy has largely escaped the political fight over reproductive rights. Now, anti-abortion activists see an opening to restrict the practice in Texas and across the country.

Same in NY. Same in Seattle. Big noise about leaving en masse… didn’t happen. Starting to think that the 1% are primarily bullshitters with very little actual follow through. Go ahead, hold your breath until you turn blue. We’ll wait.

The thing that kills me is that so many people believe that corporate tax rates are on revenue, not profit. No, you soft-brained darlings, that's your *income* tax you're thinking of. Corps only get taxed *AFTER* all of the expenses are paid, and self-investment is an expense. See the difference?

It's not a lefty bubble... it's just bubbles. Apparently it's shocking to conservatives that people are allowed to form communities on their own, instead of being shoved into a conformist 'norm'. They do love forcing themselves on others. Ability to block and curate is the entire reason I'm here.

Saw this happen in a factory in China in the 90s. Concern over worker health: "they can find another job". Point out that the new fangled computerized mill couldn't handle the heat and humidity or subzero: heat and AC installed immediately. Back when China was THE human rights abuser, of course.
