"Indigenous People's Day." Maybe we should rename Holocaust Remembrance Day to "Essenes Day," amirite? Why do we try to Disney-fy everything? Maybe instead we should pay Native Americans billions in reparations for all the treaties we broke while turning this place into a giant Food Court, you know?

Yes and way too many Americans think just because we had a strong middle class decades ago we can get out of this mess by simply voting for "the other party of morbidly wealthy a-holes." Modern Americans will be remembered as the biggest nation of cowards since the Weimer-era Germans, no question.

And some folks seriously believe an all-or-nothing Harris-vs-Vance duopoly matchup is what the people really want.

Say, did anyone else have "Democrats will become overconfident and start chasing votes in hopeless hookworm-infested shitholes like Mississippi, all while doing everything they can to weaken progressive candidates and ignoring literally half of their voters" on their Bingo card? I did, just sayin.

Too late. The minute that lunatic appeared I tried to remind people that the oldest rule of internet discourse is "ignore the trolls." He should have been completely shunned by the press starting on day one. Corporate media is and always has been our biggest problem. This is *all* their fault.

How groovy rock fans, a (totally fixed) "Open For Ed Sheeran" contest in partnership with Guitar Center, where idiots who don't know how to check Craigslist for second-hand Les Pauls go to get royally ripped off. He might as well just start his "Carnival Cruise To Haifa" tour with Gwyneth right now.

You know, if this country were a person it'd be a scarily overweight 75-year-old in a glittery star-spangled "Fueled By Bullshit" tee shirt and an NFL team cap riding around on a Walmart mobility scooter. I demand that my $5,000 be paid in pennies so I can pick out the "valuable ones" and double it.

Voting for the "lesser evil" doesn't make you the least bit superior to the 23-year-old who stays home out of spiteful hopelessness after they conclude that none of the available candidates represent any of their interests. Dickens would wonder why any modern American bothers at all.

When the Colorado River dries up and California and Las Vegas finally enter their inevitable Mad Max phase, will people blame it all on data centers or will they remember that growing a single avocado for disgusting guacamole takes roughly 70 to 80 gallons of water?

100%, except I'd add that all that crap is in the form of a 10,000-word "plan" that they barf onto their website and then scold normal people for not ever reading after they lose in yet another "close election"

There are plenty of libruls who defend people like former right-wing (Daily Caller) "journalist" Kaitlin Collins with "Whatever, she's on our side now" just because she landed at CNN. I'm just like "Yeah bro, Joey Goebbels totally should have co-anchored the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite."

Yuh. At maximum capacity, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve can supply the U.S. market for about 2 to 3 months. A presidency focused on literally nothing but insider-trading nonsense and payback against political enemies was eventually going to lead to some extraordinary events. Clock's ticking.

I hope every MAGA who bought this moronic "investment" has to eat Little Friskies for the rest of the year. Trump isn't just "the most corrupt president ever," he's one of the top five worst people ever born. I mean can you even believe this?

Coming soon to a shithole country near you. But no really, ladies, keep believing that the fact that NOW is currently run by the same bunch of snobby, brunching, progressive-hating useful DNC idiots that helped lose Roe v Wade for you won't lead to anything a million times worse.

Common sense tells us that real socialism would work because most people would be more than happy to contribute their time and labor to bettering others' lives. Psychologists say people's existential miseries stem from *not* being able to help others because under capitalism it's "just not done."

Yes, and then force the CIA to tell Congress everything they do and how astronomical their funding is, then replace them with the State Department's INR, which would focus our "intelligence" more on building international relationships and not randomly killing brown people for oil and rare metals.

Weasel-speak: "Don't be silly, we're not laying people off and replacing them with bug-infested beta versions of AI workers! We're simply spending so much on fixing AI bugs that we can't afford to keep our human workers, lol don't you get the difference?" *That's* how stupid he thinks you are.

Behold the shitlib punditocracy, preparing to welcome verified transphobic misogynist Tucker Carlson into the cool kids club. All he'll change after he replaces Trump in the hearts of the heartless MAGA faithful will be firing any ICE stormtroopers who can't do 10 pull-ups.

The problem with Facebook is that you'll post a meme like the one below, highlighting some slightly dated statistic, and you can always count on some jerkoff who's feeling rebellious to barge in and reply with something massively douchey like "Welllll, that's not eNtiReLy aaaaaaaacuraaaate"

And that's why well-off anti-socialist liberals are as inherently bad as MAGAs. Their idea of social justice is minorities getting minimal representation at the highest power levels, not every citizen having the same basic privileges (food, shelter, the wherewithal to work on their dreams) as them.

Every single fucking thing about this timeline feels so false and broken. Most people are just waiting for someone to pull the fire alarm so all humanity can stampede out the doors to hunt down the rich and smash everything in sight while Alice Cooper's "School's Out" blares from the car speakers.

Nearly all the surviving mammals on earth are either humans or animals that are specifically raised for humans to eat. That's not indicative of an "intelligent dominant species," it's further proof that humans are led by a tiny predatory minority that never thinks about long-term consequences.

It's normal to manage your anger over Trump by yelling at citizens who couldn't vote for people like this. But it's not normal to refuse to criticize the party whose only selling point is being less obvious than the Republicans about their total contempt for "middle class morality."

Per The Mirror: Black zones indicate where 75% would perish if all-out nuclear war broke out (determined by "radiation absorbed doses," destructive energy units). But no, it definitely isn't time to pull a January 6th on Trump's White House, nothing to see here, just keep working and shopping.

Thought this was funny. Before I list this for sale and forget about it, this book, The Anxious Enquirer, written in 1834, was apparently owned by an agnostic, who wrote this criticism of the Bible at the bottom of the last page in pencil: "One of the greatest books of nonsense ever written. Amen."
