Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 16hjon benjamin is legally not allowed to host his own podcast bc it would put all the other podcasts out of business which would both collapse the us economy and bring down the podcaster-run us government 020
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 08/10/2026not to say that i ever bought this guy’s annoying “lol i’m trolling trump on twitter“ shtick, but it is truly amazing what an insufferable loser and moron he has turned out to be 020
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 05/10/2026cowboy jones asking the ship’s replicator to materialize a fresh piece of straw 020
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 02/10/2026the dead-eyed businessmen who just want to help get 50% of humanity fired for massive profit, the conmen who want to sell people AI-generated trash… these are the same boring, mundane villains who’ve been ruining earth for centuries now. singularitarians are the fresh sci-fi villains we deserve 020
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 04/09/2026also, people actually use “the whole enchilada”. i’m not sure if i’ve never heard anyone use erlichman’s “big enchilada”. calling shenanigans on this big enchilada situation 150
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 04/09/2026today’s enlisted men experienced the war on terror as sick call of duty campaigns about a war that started before they were born. and the ones who are old enough to remember probably recall all the troop worship and support our troops bumper stickers, which were more visible to them than the reality 001
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 27/08/2026are bailouts the reason why the market has become so divorced from reality? around the time tesla reported an apocalyptic 50% decline in sales bc the brand became incredibly toxic to their target demographic and their stock barely took a hit, i gave up trying to understand this bullshit 4591
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 22/08/2026It simply does not matter how many sci-fi ideas that musk claims are imminent don’t actually come. mars colonies, vacuum tube trains, useful humanoid robots, whatever. they will always be suckered by the next claim, because they want to be. very pathetic stuff 060
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 19/08/2026lol how does every single one of them look like a demon? are demons real 010
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 19/08/2026this is such a weird but true fact bc the factionalism of the left is one of its most oft-parodied problems (i always think of the identical revolutionary groups in the life of brian who hate each other more than they hate the romans) and “national unity” is such a theme of fascism 000
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 16/08/2026i can’t believe forcing our soldiers to shave their beards didn’t bring us victory 021
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 15/08/2026amazing that americans still largely think of themselves as smart and the apex of civilization when we’re obviously some of the most savage morons to ever live. iranian pols hitting us with dostoevsky while our prez fast forwards through the dialogue in bloodsport or whatever 1300
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 15/08/2026obviously the world often rates comedies wrong but i think brain candy might be the most wrong the consensus opinion has ever been. even the kids themselves underrate it! 030
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 08/08/2026i think guys who will believe anything as long as believing it makes them feel like cool contrarian badasses who see through the bullshit are probably eternal, but only a truly deranged and dying society would ever put one of them in charge of anything important 071
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 01/08/2026prob my favorite thing about mamdani is that he infuriated these freaks so much they don’t even know how to pick their battles anymore. just flipping the fuck out whenever he shovels snow or cleans up garbage or whatever 110
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 28/07/2026even now, this dead bitch wishes he was you, sir. i bet he’s copying you up in heaven. like real talented mr ripley loser shit. anyway, rest in peace 020
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 26/07/2026i loved the recent wave of articles about elon musk “regretting getting involved in politics” that also failed to mention that he does this every day 081
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 23/07/2026they create literally nothing of value. total cultural dead end. that’s why they’re so juiced about AI. they’d rather destroy human culture forever than face the reality that they contribute absolutely nothing to it and never will 140
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 20/07/2026the thing former republicans don’t get about themselves is they are parasitic organisms who got chased out of their party by a stronger predator, and they don’t care about our victory at all, their singular goal is transforming the democratic party into a copy of the gop that was stolen from them 21358
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 14/07/2026during opaque periods of history people sometimes muse about one day getting to read the book about this and better understand what was really happening. interesting thing about this era is i feel zero curiosity. they’re all just the same incredibly dumb, greedy guy. i get it. no need for deep dives 020
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 13/07/2026i dunno about this, my archetypal sorceror would never share his orbs 000
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 11/07/2026every liability she had arose from her nihilism, even her “too progressive” sound bites from 2019. she only said that stuff in the first place because she believes in nothing and thus will say anything her (terrible) instincts tell her will get her closer to power at any given moment 41565
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 10/07/2026lol was there some limp narrative explanation for why riker didn’t just intentionally do a bad job? iirc there was a maybe line where the villain threatened against doing that, but i still remember thinking, no one can prove you half assed something riker. just phone this one in you try hard loser 240
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 09/07/2026shrieking that it’s actually NOT funny that your guy might lose his election to a rejected Spaceballs character. everyone laughing about it is just IMMATURE 030
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 08/07/2026but then where would i go to read takes by a left wing journalist who is also the villain from cape fear 050
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 08/07/2026oh i guess a guy isn’t allowed to change now huh 000
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 08/07/2026there was an old futurama joke where fry gets an advertisement beamed into one of his dreams and he is appalled, explaining all the very intrusive places the 20th century put ads in a never-ending list before concluding, “but never in dreams.” basically the current attitude about cameras in glasses 000
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 01/07/2026if space hotel corp isn’t flying you to space hotel in their spaceship for opening day 2027, all i can say is that’s a huge injustice. no one has hyped space hotel as hard as you! 060
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 30/06/2026my theory for the past decade is that we are living inside a sea monster’s dream of a long dead civilization, like in final fantasy 10 010
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 24/06/2026we probably should have realized as soon as we started hearing normal old liberal ladies asking “why doesn’t someone ____ this guy?” that the jig was up for the pathetic losers who run the party 180
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 24/06/2026people are going to make it harder for democrats to win elections by voting for candidates they like and are excited to vote for 020
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 23/06/2026is there a breakdown of how these answers relate to political sympathies? i’d kinda suspect that americans who say socialism definitionally has all of these elements are more likely to be anti-socialist. popular socialist figures like bernie or zohran don’t loudly advocate for full socialism 100
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 22/06/2026there was some bill clinton joke homer hears on the radio at the beginning of the thomas edison episode in early season 10 that i remember thinking, “that was a joke for a lesser show.” the aura of invincibility the simpsons had was somehow instantly shattered for me. the show never recovered 020
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 19/06/2026lol right wing talking heads thought choosing center-right candidates was this hugely magnanimous olive branch that ungrateful americans shit all over by not voting for them. that’s what they mean when they say obama was mean to these guys. he won 060
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 17/06/2026lol. reminds me of a prediction for ai’s impact on gdp i saw recently that factored in the possibilities of human extinction by malevolent ai god or benevolent technological singularity, so it was just a graph that said in 10 years the gdp will be somewhere between zero and infinity dollars 051
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 14/06/2026everyone cracked jokes about how played out it was to compare current events to idiocracy, but somehow missed that the reason it got so played out in the first place was because idiocracy was the single most prophetic piece of science fiction of the 21st century 1190
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 12/06/2026never again will i question the logic of “movie villain who constantly kills his own guys yet somehow always has more guys willing to work for him“ 000
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 07/06/2026i can feel my attempt to understand this joke as a dull throbbing pain just behind by forehead 000
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 04/06/2026they should also have to sleep in one big bed while wearing those elf style sleeping caps 010
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 16/05/2026“more and more guys are looking overseas to find toenail-clipping slaves” is one of those articles that has been getting rewritten every year for decades like its a hot new trend and not something that sleazy guys have been doing since forever. the president got multiple wives using this method 010
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 13/05/2026team of lawyers trying to find an accurate but softer toned way of writing “body panels delaminate and the car instantly falls apart into one million pieces like at the end of the blues brothers” in the recall notice 050
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 12/05/2026it’s a funny debate to take seriously because at this point it is pretty obvious that there will actually never be a social media site with a net positive impact on politics, or on anything for that matter, ever 1140
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Bezos in an underground lab growing WaPo editorialists using a bit of Yglesias’ beard shavings and a Minions doll. 110
Steve Bernard @steve-bernard.bsky.social · 12/05/2026This data center equipment pre-order frenzy isn’t just limited to GPUs, either. Companies looking to build data centers are paying to get in line to buy turbines and generators to build power plants, and the waiting lists with the major manufacturers are at least several years long now. 1101
