The us is racing to build concentration camps while the govt remains shutdown with no end in sight and trump demolishes the White House. Inflation continues unabated and the economy shows real signs of strain because of tariffs. The stock market is in an AI bubble. It’s Friday.

Kashs first major collar being related to sports gambling while he is living in Vegas is giving sus vibes
an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

The National Trust for Historic Preservation wants destruction of the White House East Wing halted, saying it's "deeply concerned that the massing and height of the proposed new construction will overwhelm the White House itself." savingplaces.org/press-center...

In America it either takes years or is outright illegal to build a simple apartment building but the President can destroy the most famous residence in the world on a weekday afternoon on a personal whim. Cooked society. The despotic elite laugh at you while landlords boot you from your flat.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.
Get the lions after that too

I'm surprised there's no one from like, the state legislature, or a mayor of a bigger city in the state who has stepped up to occupy the obvious and wide open lane of running as someone who is both not going to die of old age at any moment and also doesn't have a nazi tattoo
You all are exactly right let a thousand flowers bloom but some of them are ugly ass weeds we gotta pull
It will require finding hundreds of people who say and believe the same things and are just as able to generate excitement. That’s more my point. It feels like everyone is always hoping to find a unicorn when in reality, we should have replacement level people waiting everywhere.
That’s fair. I personally have a hard time with the tension between needing to be able to gain attention in the current US culture with the fact that politicians are instruments. They are replaceable. If the people who love what platner is saying want to grow into a sustainable movement,
Absolutely. I don’t get the love affair with this guy. He did a good tiktok? For all we know he’s a straight up plant or an imposter. Gotta have more experience and vetting for a US Senate seat. Let this guy run for state senate or something.
Pod Jons can’t ever give up twitter because if they do all the clout that they built off of obamas coattails will be gone forever

If you can afford it, a *monetary* donation (it goes a lot farther!) to your local food bank would be a most excellent thing to do right now.
I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
Except this of course this definitely doesn’t count, no no
Just bought a used CD player on eBay. Cause I’m ditching Spotify and all the bullshit algorithms. Physical media and interaction in the real world are just what the dr ordered in 2025
My Facebook finally got permadeleted a couple days ago and it feels terrific
This isn’t gonna be popular on here but Bernie can take a fucking hike too along with every other old as shit dem. These politicians represent our interests and aren’t heroes and they can be replaced easily.
Bernie about Platner,

“In all due respect, all right, what I'm worried about, 50,000 Americans may die unnecessarily? And you're worried about a tattoo?"

When I asked about his comments about sexual assault, he said "Have you served four tours of duty?" I said "I have not."

Bernie: "Ok"
