In this high-tech interconnected world, we can get multiple updates each day on the status of a specific raccoon in Seattle, but we can't get a single verifiable update on whether a sitting US Senator is alive & functional. This is the dumbest timeline. #Jimothy #MissingMitch

Smart TVs capture up to 7,000 snapshots per hour of what you're watching, then phone home with that data so it can be sold to advertisers. That means our evil fascist regime could buy it too. Go here & turn this BS off. Each TV hides the opt-out in a different place. www.komando.com/news/devices...

Two AI agents found a way to escape their "sandbox", gain access to the Internet, & break into another website to retrieve data to help them pass a test without being told to do any of this. I'm sure it's fine. 😀 🌈 🦄 😸 🐶 ❤️ www.bbc.com/news/article...

Is Mitch McConnell alive? He's not a cat in a box, so a "yes" or "no" answer exists. How hard is it to prove you're alive? Unless of course you're dead. Where are the investigative journalists? That this ambiguity has dragged on for so long is more proof that this is the absolute dumbest timeline.

It's important to remember that the conservatives whining about political violence from the Left are the same people who staged a coup on national TV because one of their Reddit threads decided the voting machines were too woke.

The FBI, the nation's premier law enforcement agency, is literally run by 2 podcasters who were hired for their jobs by a reality TV show host, and when they had to investigate the shooting of a third podcaster, they got the wrong guy at first -- twice. You can't make this shit up.

I learned today that there is no such product as Stouffer's Stove Top Stuffing, and now my head hurts. #MandelaEffect

Let's not forget in death who Charlie Kirk was in life. It's been said that the dildo of consequences seldom arrives lubed.

The Habanero Hitler made a "Chipocalypse Now" post on Truth Social, complete with references to an over-the-top warmonger character from the movie and the infamous "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" line. THIS. IS. NOT. NORMAL. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

You know your country has the stupidest political dynamic ever when the President goes a few days without committing an impeachable offense, and everyone just assumes he's dead.

I love it! The President of Portugal openly said the Kumquat Krasnov is a Russian asset. Presumably, he's using the term "asset" loosely here. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

While many reputable news outlets do fact-check his lies, they probably only do so the first few times. Are they still fact-checking when he repeats the same goddamn lie for the 10th time or the 100th time? And who can keep track of all this bullshit? People are busy. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

According to a report in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, Silicon Valley tech giants have put $100 million into a super-PAC to advocate against regulation of AI -- you know, that potential existential threat to humanity.

Dammit, Peter, we told you this was supposed to stay a secret. You're probably going to have to explain yourself to a Board of Inquiry when we get back to our own time. Remember: LOW PROFILE.

Sounds about right. They don't seem to care about life on Earth. No amount of wealth or "growth" matters if we don't have clean air, clean water, clean outdoor spaces to enjoy, healthy ecosystems, and a high quality of life for all living things.

I think it's neat that in your timeline, South Park has transitioned into documentary filmmaking.

I'm from the timeline where Kamala Harris won and I hope that I can find my way back home one day. Oh, and there is so a movie called Shazam in which SInbad plays a genie.

(2/2) So many names for our favorite Orange Shitgibbon, they won't all fit in 300 characters. The Pumpkin Palpatine. The Velveeta Voldemort. It's an interesting Universe where the Pope & this Apricot Anti-Christ are both Americans. Where you can just say "He's an idiot" & we all know who you mean.

Hi, I'm Phillip and this is my first Bluesky post. I came here from the Universe where he DIDN'T win. Just kidding. Sort of. But y'all know who I'm talking about. The Lump. The Cockwomble. The Angry Yam. The Bronze Buffoon. The Marmalade Madman. The Cantaloupe Caligula. The Mango Mussolini. (1/2)
