I play games and collect random stuff. Sidlink and Revalink brain rotted. Sometimes political. Somehow made it to 31, my poor bones are turning to dust. Varms, The_Varment, or TheVarmArt

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Screenshot of a post on X from Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s verified account. The post reads: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing. The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure. We await explanations from the US government.”

Trump isn’t even trying to hide the fact that the DOJ is completely politicized and the rule of law no longer applies federally

Donald Trump announces he has commuted George Santos’ sentence in his federal fraud case:

“at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! […] I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”

same as it ever was — Trump does Putin’s bidding

Trump: They should stop the war immediately. You stop at the battle line. Stop right now at the battle line. I told that to President Zelenskyy and I told it to President Putin.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

In New Jersey a bill has been introduced to make sure data centers pay for electricity they use. This power surcharge would go toward modernizing the state’s electric grid.

Recall that Trump's father was the child of immigrants, and that his mother and two of his wives were immigrants.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Trump on immigrants: "They send up their worst people. They send up people that are criminals. They send up people from jails. And the best ones they send are people that don't work very hard and that are on a social form of welfare."

Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."
