I will never forgive the ayahuaca aunties for calling COVID restrictions and vaccine mandates “1984” and “Soviet Russia” then voting for a guy who names the Institute of Peace after himself in the middle of explaining his war crimes

it finally happened -- a good student of mine vanished from class about six weeks ago. this student reappeared today and explained that they had been in ICE detention in another state during that time. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end. ICE needs to end.

every time i'm tapping the "if you are firmly anti-gambling you will always be on the right side of history" sign
I have come to the conclusion that all gambling should be made illegal again; or at the very least, must all be conducted in person at bookies.
The co-founder of Kalshi says: " The long-term vision is to financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion."

Along these lines: Do you have any earthly idea how much stuff in the US has some corn byproduct or other in it? And sometimes they'll list it as "food starch" and you'll be like "could be potato, could be rice, could be" no it's fucking corn starch and I'm off in the corner choking and vomiting.
did you know that you can be allergic to soybean oil, but they don't mark products containing soybean oil as a soy allergy because according to the FDA only a 'few' people have this allergy?
did you know almost all commercial bread has soybean oil?

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

the main problem with British politics is that transphobia brainworms infected basically all of their elites (which, yes, everyone being too online)
you cannot effectively fight back against people who want ethnic purges when you want gender purges
you cannot effectively fight back against people who want ethnic purges when you want gender purges
a lot of it genuinely comes down to the fact that almost all their elites were too online on X and the post-Musk thing has basically driven the socially conservative, fiscally socialist types insane (see e.g. the Blue Labour guy) and the right is basically now calling for ethnic purges
The UK is weird and getting weirder right? Thats not my imagination? I know that's rich coming from an American, but still, I'm right on this arent I?

it also undermines leftist economic policy because as a rule trans people tend to be worse off (since society treats them so poorly) and so any government assistance that might go to trans people gets attacked along those lines

I just remembered that Marvel's original speedster was a guy called The Whizzer who ran around in a bright yellow costume and got his powers from a transfusion of mongoose blood

Some Bugs Bunny Show pigs! I held off on these for awhile because the originals are so charming and strong in their shape language that it felt like sacrilege to fiddle with them… but it made for good practice! Which one’s your favorite?
