I'm just here to remind everybody that it's completely fine to demonize Charlie Kirk. He's not a better person since his murder. He's not a hero. He's exactly who he was. Did he deserve murder? No. Violence for thought is fundamentally wrong. Censorship is also violence for thought. Speak your mind

Pretty standard Republican ideology. Actually remarkable that he was honest enough to say it out loud.

He was never there. The bottomless well of his narcissism is like a blackhole. Events that don't further his self aggrandizement don't even register.

Hey, but do y'all remember Obama's tan suit? For real though, the Pro Lifers sure are dead quiet about protecting kids right about now aren't they?

Going to go out on a limb and offer this explanation: Donald Trump is not a smart man, nor one with command of what remaining faculties he has left. His brain is three squirrels in a satchel scrapping for a bullhide wrapped acorn.

He bankrupted a casino. A casino. This loser couldn't make a buck that wasn't through sheer grift (or, hint hint, Russian mob money for Kompromat) if he was playing monopoly.

Stupid people have gone so far down the rabbit hole the species is trying to self correct by getting rid of them. Let it be known that I gave this form of self destructive, behaviorally driven evolutionary process the title "Red Hat Selection". That is all.

Hiring managers use AI systems to filter candidates that spent more time developing and applying their skills than scamming the AI filters in their CVs. Maybe start there.

Democrats should stop participating in the destruction of this nation. Vote against anything that comes out of the Republican agenda. Every single time they line up with a Republican vote they stand for fascism and it has to stop.

They piss on you and tell you it's raining. MAGA folks stand around with their mouths open drinking it down, the rest of us, we just look for umbrellas. The real question is, when will there be consequences for breaking the law by people in government?

It's funny to me that V for Vendetta and George Carlin have only become more relevant to my life since their releases. Almost as if the average American is incapable of using the information available to make better decisions. Nothing is learned.

I'm going to go ahead and answer this one. It's no. No you can't work with Republicans in the middle of a constitutional crisis they created. What you can do is oppose them. Block them. Litigate them. Exercise every single legal tool at your disposal to challenge their efforts to destroy the country

Sure thing. I'm in. Let's do one better, call in sick that day too. Just stay home. Play with your kids. Go to a park or something. For one goddamn day don't feed the machine.

I don't like editing. Drafting stories is a hoot, just a great good time, but going back over them with a critical eye for ticking boxes on structure or useage or narrative theme and all that shit? Zero fun. This is why editors get paid the big bucks. (/s for people that need it)

If there's anything forty years of burning leaded petroleum fuels has taught us, it's that we all love lead just a little bit. Just like it loves us, forever, and ever, and ever, and ever...

Whew boy. After a pretty wild thirty five day run I have completed book three of the series I've working on since last new years. Stringing together multiple 10K word days, like a week of them, teaches a guy why some of the old timers loved cocaine. In absence of that, I choose sleep.

Trathnonen @trathnonen.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

In education, this is what happens when you aren't allowed to use very small, very precise applications of pain to incentivize learning. Nothing important is learned, in absence of pain. Now we are experiencing large amounts of pain, and the lesson will be learned. Too late, but that's the tax.

Trathnonen @trathnonen.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

The joke is to pretend to preach god's love while being a hateful bigot. Opposing Nazi's isn't some kind of "woke" meme, we went to war for this. We killed for this. We firebombed Dresden, amongst other horrors, to see it end, and that suffering should be honored.

Trathnonen @trathnonen.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

So, based on even a casual review of the first week of the Trump presidency, I'd have to say that it seems Donald J. Trump is, in fact, a Russian asset and is doing exactly as instructed by his handler Vladimir Putin. I told people this in 2016. Now they get to live it. Again. Good job Republicans.

000

Trathnonen @trathnonen.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Since shame requires both self awareness and a functioning conscience, it's likely a majority of Republicans, lawmakers, voters, whatever, are literally incapable of shame.

Trathnonen @trathnonen.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

So, if the President has to take an oath to support and uphold the constitution, doesn't Trump's executive order, which he wrote knowingly was in violation of the constitution, mean he's willingly violated his oath? Seems like there ought to be a legal penalty for Presidential malfeasance.

Another four years of trying in vain to hide from headlines that raise my blood pressure. I'm gonna have to learn German to get away from the Nazis this time, apparently. What a twist!

Haven't left the house in two weeks, thanks to the ice and snow. My life isn't substantially worse for this, as it wasn't during the Covid lockdowns. I'm starting to think you people out there aren't all you've been cracked up to be.

Not just accepted, the 'ol Good Book both condoned and forgave it as business as usual. I don't want to hear from anybody in the trilogy of Bronze Age Nonsense about their supposed god's morality. And the cruelty and inhumanity is explicitly baked in text, you don't have to read between the lines.

Well, yeah, but he didn't gun down a tool of the oligarchy so it's not a high priority. The only people this nation actually works for are the ones with at least seven zeros next to their names.

It is in the nature of the scorpion to sting. Gaetz is a predatory grifter who won't stop while he drifts through our permissive society taking advantage of its freedoms. Too bad our government has passed more legislation targeting homeless people than abuse of power and corruption in government.

As a borderline misanthrope I can say confidently that I trust moral men not to require compulsion from a priest or adherence to a scripture to do the right thing. I trust most "religious" folk to do what they want while cherry picking justifications that absolve them of responsibility for it.

I'm just going to offer this mild criticism of our current economic model. If you make your nation's wealth inequality problems into a financial liability for billionaires and corporations it will go away. Until you do, it will grow worse.

I'm with George Carlin on these folks. They're not prolife they're antiwoman. The US is ranked #57 in the world in child mortality. Our healthcare system kills more infants than China, Russia, Serbia, Cuba, Greece, Spain, Singapore, and basically every nation in Europe. Talk is cheap misogynists.

Been reading Under the Dome and it's been slow going. Read Game of Thrones and had to put it aside. Same reason for both, they touch on a truth I see in real life that I find unfun: it's the assholes that do most of the winning because decent people are too decent to stop them. We need an asshole.

I'm sure she is. After all, she has money and the best medical insurance that the tax payers can buy for her. Tax payers, on the other hand, do not have access to equivalent health care because our money keeps getting spent on building yet another aircraft carrier or enough nukes to sterilize Earth.

I'm not down playing, in any way, the threat these people pose because they are dumb enough to do something like this. However, a sneaky part of my brain thinks that this is a smoke screen to get people's attention while they're doing something worse elsewhere. It's a Kansas City Shuffle.

www.cnbc.com/2023/05/31/b... The average age of billionaires places them firmly in the boomer generation, what do you mean? The boomers are the ones who have been making policy for the last thirty years, which is how we got to this point, of course we can blame them.

As much as I enjoy people getting what they deserve, it does rub a little raw that I have to suffer the consequences of the ignorance with all these Republican voters who are about to find out that the liar was, in fact, lying to them the whole time.
