Anti #talarico nut jobs are staying busy on the weekend. Here's another text I got about how he's the devil and some such nonsense

It took Union action and all the way until 2024 for them to even begin planning for air conditioning in these vehicles. Doesn't seem to me like they're worried about anyone's safety in the USPS. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat... #usps #surveillance

Referring to a worker who died in an Amazon warehouse: thesoc.org/news/amazon-... THIS is why we need #UniversalBasicIncome. Employers need to be afraid that we could quit at any time because we won't starve or die without them. If they treat us like crap, we can walk at a moment's notice.

It's weaponized terminology and projection. Like #lawfare or #stolenElection or #witchHunt. All things the GOP did, done, and doing. Rare to find examples with Dems/etc.

The depth of handwavy nonsense here is staggering. "jobs" What KIND of jobs? How about all those people who were fired from tech jobs and had to get work at much lower pay and title just to live? Our entire system of economic health measurement is a farce.

The GOP is a mechanism used to loot the country under the guise of a political party. They only care about control, power, and money for themselves. Look through history and you'll see this perspective perfectly matches their words and actions.

I don't know if we can count on these Dems to do this given how passive they were last time and since (with new indicators of cheating in 2024 coming out since), but you're right. This is exactly what should happen. We need fighters, not whatever Dems usually are.

Maybe this doesn't need to be said and I'm just old, but they used to single literal songs about how rich you were as a millionaire. Meanwhile, I couldn't buy the house I'm renting right now for a million dollars. It's not enough for any house in this neighborhood. #Seattle #housingCrisis

This is so much more than funding terrorism and an insurrection. Trump never pays anyone so feels like him actually paying for this is as clear of intent as you can possibly get

Text post over a picture of the us capitol building.

A guide to GOP terms:

"Conversion therapy" = torture 
"Woke" = decency 
"Teach the controversy" = We demand equal time for “Flat Earth Science”
"Republican party" = a rich boys club posing as a political party to engage in quasi-legal pillaging

It occurred to me that we have no idea how deep the political divide in the USA actually is. The GOP (played by HYDRA in the Marvel movies) has slowly infiltrated and co-opted the government to the point there's no way to get real numbers unless some superhero descends from on high to save us #vote

Just finished "Don't Be Evil" by #ClaireStapleton and it was infuriating. Reading about the gaslighting, victim blaming, and especially lying about her to make themselves look better opened some old wounds for me. At the least, I've same dysfunction exist in the NSA and the tech industry both

A linguistic healing exercise: "Conversion therapy" = torture "Woke" = decency "Teach the controversy" = Give us unwarranted attention "Republican party" = a rich boys club masquerading as a political party. I cannot stress how much this last one is not a joke. They do not govern; they loot.

You can save time by looking for (R) mark next to someone's name. That's the symbol voter guides are using now to mark the rapists, war criminals, child traffickers, fascists, insurrectionists and supporters thereof.

The seat number didn't even exist in Atlanta, ha! Also this line... not quite brave enough to call Schmitt a liar (he is), but still good: "when a witness lies under oath before Congress, he can face prison, , that's perjury. When a senator gets it wrong, he says he was just 'asking questions'"

I worked with many people of the previous generation who, despite their protestations, quite easily and frequently practice this skill. Ex "I'm married now, I go my MRS". "I got my doctorate, call me Doctor". "My legal name is William, but I go by Hank". Not hard and not even new.

Face of the GOP right here. He stumbled so hard I'm surprised he didn't need medical intervention trying to stop himself from saying "poor people aren't smart".

Jeremy Duffy @thegeekprofessor.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Feckless creep. Using words like "fled" and "partisan hacks". I kind of wish Smith had said responded to the questions as-asked as a means to call out his use of loaded words. If Smith is under oath, the questioners should be too. They should be accountable for their words and intent.

Wow. That's some incredible cartoonist commentary on the situation. The founders never accounted for the SCOTUS being compromised at the same time as Congress.

So he's an insurrectionist? A person that the constitution specifically borrows from holding office? Which means this presidency even if he won the election is illegal?

Comic from leftycartoons.com #polarization #GOP #MAGA #Comic #PoliticalCartoon
This cartoon has four panels. The same bespectacled, bearded man appears in all four.

PANEL 1

The man walks past several masked ICE agents. Two agents are dragging an older man toward the open back of an SUV. Nearby, a distressed woman stands with a small child who is crying. An ICE agent is pointing a gun at the child.

MAN (thought): Hmmm.

PANEL 2

Outside the Supreme Court, several Supreme Court justices in black robes are drinking and celebrating around a bonfire in which the Voting Rights Act is burning. The man walks past in the background, watching them.

MAN (thought): Hmm.

PANEL 3

At a bus stop, a woman is reading a newspaper. The man stands beside her, leaning slightly to read the front page. The newspaper’s main headline says: ANOTHER COMPLETELY UNAUTHORIZED UNNECESSARY WAR

MAN (thought): Mm-hmm.

PANEL 4

We see an open laptop. On its screen, the man is appearing on a TV interview show, grinning as he holds up a copy of his book, Polarization: Both Sides Did It!

MAN: America’s biggest problem is… POLARIZATION!

CHICKEN FAT WATCH
In panel 2, the burning Voting Rights Act is depicted as the “I’m Just a Bill” character from Schoolhouse Rock!

In panel 3, the newspaper is called The Daily Gab. Under the enormous war headline is a much smaller headline: “Study: No one reads smaller headlines or studies.” A sub-headline says “‘My life is pointless,’ says sub-headline writer.”

On the wall in panel 3, graffiti includes tags from all eight captains from Star Trek shows (Pike, Kirk, Janeway, Burnham, Freeman, Picard, Sisko, and Archer) plus Taggart from Galaxy Quest. Other graffiti includes “Skitter Lives!” with a spider; a huge “BG,” for “background”; and “Never obey! I order U not to obey!” It only occurs to me now, writing this transcript, that I should have made it “not 2 obey.” Oh well.

In panel 4, behind the laptop, a large orange cat is sleeping. Curled up asleep on the cat’s tail is a tiny mouse wearing a sleeping cap.

Why is voicemail so incredibly bad? In all of history it's never gotten any better? For example why do I have to listen to a computer voice painstakingly list a phone number that's probably a Spam call before finding out that the message is empty? Why does it even save empty messages?

#MarketLies: Literally every company whose phone system states "We are experiencing higher-than-usual call volume" Bullshit. It's literally impossible to "experience higher-than-usual call volume" during 100% of days and times people call. Ergo, you simply didn't hire enough people and are lying.

Random Pro tip: if you get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night don't turn the light on. You'll have a much easier time of going back to sleep if you don't

Pro tip - self regulation is a catchphrase used to shame people for asking for reasonable accountability and oversight. It's weaponized to give companies free reign to do bad things and has NEVER ONCE to my knowledge been used in case where self-regulation was 1) appropriate and/or 2) possible.
