kumquats @goats.download · 22/07/2026i used to work with a machinist who had the most interesting turns of phrase. there was one engineer of whom he would say “he could fuck up a wet dream.” anyway, 070
kumquats @goats.download · 15/07/2026I don’t know why daylight savings is a big topic today but my proposal is to abolish both dst and time zones and use utc. It makes no difference if you *call* the time you get up 6 am or 1100 hours or blue o’clock and we use utc for everything important anyway 000
kumquats @goats.download · 07/07/2026I refuse to believe this is real. he looks like Shaggy and Fred’s son and he dresses like a pervert. No. 010

kumquats @goats.download · 01/03/2026every time central va makes national news it’s some shit like tiki torch nazis, woman thinks death of people in whole other country avenges son who drowned in river, cops protect racist statue. except the drunk raccoon, that was ok 130
kumquats @goats.download · 22/01/2026There will always be enough votes to beat us but never to feed us. There will always be enough votes to spy on us but never to give us healthcare. There will always be enough votes to pay for prisons but never tuition. The parties aren’t the same but at the end of the day whoever wins, we lose 422263
kumquats @goats.download · 16/01/2026The actions of elite democrats only make sense if you assume they’re meant to be controlled opposition instead of an independent party 010
kumquats @goats.download · 13/01/2026Gavin Newsom is a wretched oily snake who exists solely to block any sign of progress and be the boot on society’s back while still having a D next to his name, so naturally he’s going to be the 2028 nominee 030
kumquats @goats.download · 22/11/2025I’m putting my money on, let the super psychos focus on someone else, book deal, 2028 presidential run 020
kumquats @goats.download · 05/11/2025This is the only overarching narrative I read from last night: people are so tired of this. The cruelty and greed and naked corruption of the elites while most are struggling. If 24 was a repudiation of the incumbent admin, I’d say this is at least that again, and much quicker. 010
kumquats @goats.download · 02/11/2025*nyt opinion columnist voice* if the democrats want a political future they have to stop with the woke identity politics and win over sensible kitchen-table centrists like this family 030
kumquats @goats.download · 25/10/2025I read market research once I wish I could find again that laid out the fears and insecurities that auto makers can/do play up to market pickups and large SUVs. They know this phenomenon very well even if their customers don’t. Make you think you need a fortress on wheels to keep your family safe. 110

kumquats @goats.download · 30/08/2025Until it actually happens this kind of posting is just cruel. To get one’s hopes up only to check the news and nothing! 100
kumquats @goats.download · 13/08/2025Tracks with @jamellebouie.net’s thought that “people simply do not believe that republicans have agency” - Ted Kennedy can be a creep and the media can overreach and it’s still wrong to choose fascism. The mean ol’ libs didn’t make them, they eagerly pursued being the boot on our throat. 100
kumquats @goats.download · 29/05/2025A cheap knock-off of a nationalistic propagandist from the most hegemonic and bland pop slop franchise that completely neglects a couple centuries of real culture - as well as any nuance or complexity from the original sources - is actually kind of perfect 010
kumquats @goats.download · 16/05/2025Damn this shit is bleak. These bloodless mockeries of humanity, these empty voids of insatiable greed of just get to keep devouring *our* world? 020
kumquats @goats.download · 13/05/2025matt plays a very important role. It’s not enough for reactionaries to enact their policies, they have to prevent them from being undone. As controlled opposition his job is to push against any progressive action, ensuring the ratchet only turns one way. 020
kumquats @goats.download · 30/04/2025I’m realizing I love baseball but I don’t care about baseball details. I want to eat a hot dog and cheer for my team (go squirrels!) and wear a cap and do the wave and not give a damn about statistics or any rules beyond the most basic 120
kumquats @goats.download · 13/04/2025Not just aliens but apparently a lot of people have Theories about physics. A prof I once had kept a file of superlative cranks - funniest, weirdest, angriest, most wrong, most likely to stalk them and lead to their untimely demise, 220
kumquats @goats.download · 28/02/2025Not to mention, first, that symbols have a power to them even if small; and second, when as a society we’ve forgotten how to voluntarily accept inconvenience much less hardship in pursuit of a goal, it’s probably helpful to find ways to ease people into direct action 010

kumquats @goats.download · 11/01/2025I really try not to be too much of a doomer but the fact that every one of these parasites is burning full throttle back to the Bronze Age for the fascists without even waiting for a focus group doesn’t feel great. They’re not that smart but they do tend to know who they need to suck up to 000

kumquats @goats.download · 19/09/2024As long as politicians are opining on science why shouldn’t scienticians opine on politics? I mean even outside of that science and politics are intertwined as politics boils down to the ways we interact and decide as groups, and science can help us make the right decisions. 010
kumquats @goats.download · 27/08/2024If someone were to carry pruning shears on runs/walks/bike rides to take care of low-hanging branches that the property owners won’t trim, would that be wrong and/or a crime? Asking for a friend 120
kumquats @goats.download · 28/06/2024Why do they keep asking this? We all know he won’t accept a loss Either this is reporter-brain driving them to dutifully print his bullshit as though it were a real answer, or they are too dim to see through the half-assed dodging the question 000
