so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.
The deaths head is literally the symbol on the character's hats in the "are we the baddies?" sketch. Again, IF he somehow never knew (which I doubt), that still displays a lack of intelligence and judgment that should be disqualifying for public office.
Idk i think "no Nazi tattoos" is a reasonable bar to have. IF (big fucking if) he somehow didn't know its meaning after 20 years, that still means he's an idiot. If he did know what it meant and didn't get it immediately get it covered, that means he's okay with having Nazi symbols on his body.
The latest Cursed Pringles Flavor I decided to try. You can definitely taste the savory char of the beef, a hint of the caramelized onions, and even the slight sour note of provolone. Unfortunately the odor when you first open the can is terrible. Didn't stop me from demolishing the whole stack tho.

I highly encourage people to get involved more directly. Large general protests are 100% good and useful, but more targetted protests or activism should also be where you go next. Like get involved in anti-ICE activism in your city for example - helping to coordinate disrupting their activities.
What's the over/under on him being "miraculously cured" in a couple months and milking that for a couple more years of evangelical speaking tours?

signal is the birth control pill of phone encryption, it’s 99.99% effective when used correctly. the only way to be 100% assured of fail-proof safety is to never use Phone, but abstinence-only education doesn’t work, so
i feel like every time i see someone calling signal insecure it only takes a few questions for them to eventually arrive at one of two conclusuons:
- encryption isn't real you idiot
- signal is insecure because someone can drug you and beat you with a $5 wrench until you unlock your phone

So many Republicans saying “Trump doesn’t want to be a king, you’re all delusional” and Trump comes out and says “of course I want to be a king and I also want to shit all over this country”

Like, if we wanna keep the military metaphor, the advice this person is providing is for special forces; 95% of the people protesting tomorrow are regular ol infantry.
There is some protesting 101 stuff that people should know (wear comfortable shoes; watch out for people who might try to bait you into escalating; have people you check in with before/after) but not everyone can or should be black bloc.
The notable exception is "Eve," in which Eve 6 (not the pop punk band, though she is the origin of their name) flatly tells Scully, "I'm a government-bred clone who was modified to have several extra chromosomes to give me super strength and intelligence," and Scully, a medical doctor, accepts this.
It is very funny that EVERY SINGLE EPISODE in season 1 of X-Files climaxes with Mulder directly witnessing incontrovertible proof of aliens or supernatural activity immediately after Scully leaves the room. It must drive him fucking crazy.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.
Every single square inch of public space that doesn't NEED to be paved for accessibility purposes should have native plantings instead. No more giant concrete plazas.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

That book sounds tailor-made for my junior high self, holy shit. (Also me now, that sounds really fun!)
