JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 9hImmigrants are disproportionately capitalists! They come here to work hard and make thst paper! They voted for Trump because they think he’s a deity of prosperity. They’re a natural constituency for conservative parties (See Tories in England), except our GOP is just too fucking racist! 030

As if I am supposed to be jumping in and out of the bike lane every 100 feet and then have to check my blind spot to merge in. Insanity. I didn’t cost him anytime. And he’s lecturing me. 120
JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 14hI was so angry some asshole honked to give me and my kid a lecture on using the bike lane as I took him home from after school at 5:45 yesterday.

JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 16hWe literally reversed the W era slogan of “No War, for Oil” with “No Oil, for War!” It’s not hyperbole. The sole reason the oil isn’t flowing is Trump and Hegseth doing War against Iran without any strategic thinking whatsoever. It is 100% their fault! And they strut like peacocks every damn day!! 210316

JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026So much potential if they just leaned into “the humanoid robots attack the humans who treated the humanoids like slaves” and just occur in different fancy historical eras. But no, they had to go all Matrix mind fuck creator free will god spiritual BS. 120

Reposted by JarekFAJames Risen @jamesrisen.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Political reporters should think about overhauling how they do their jobs. Their dependence on polls to frame stories cost them readers, who started skipping their stories and just looked at the polls. Their former readers now even skip the polls and just look at predictions on betting sites. 001
JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It’s worse. The left hand is screaming that this is a crisis. These terrible things will happen. And the right hand just says, well that’s biased. We can’t go there. And then treats him like a silly fascination. What could he mean? Oh the contradictions. 080

JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Ah yes, Trump and his fascist friends being super transphobic is the Dems’ fault. 95% of elected Dems are excellent on this issue but somehow it’s still their fault!

JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yah. It’s funny because while most DSA [electeds] are not like that anymore. She can’t even suppress it well.

JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I can’t wait for Heat 2 because it’s also a Thief prequel and a Miami Vice sequel. In particular, they have some heists in Ciudad del Este Paraguay, which were cut short in Miami Vice, since Jamie Foxx got freaked out over nearby gang violence and they ended up canceling most of the scenes. 010

JarekFA @jarekfa.bsky.social · 05/10/2026So masking is a cultural thing that’s much more prominent in east Asia for reasons.
