A bisexual weirdo with a love of sci-fi, flaring bouts of low self-esteem, good leftist politics, overactive empathy, and you work in IT? You might as well have just said "human fighter".

As somebody who's hired over a hundred IT engineers across a variety of disciplines, I can speak authoritatively on this - Vivek is a fucking moron. For one, Vivek's trying to have it both ways - using IQ instead of skill and blaming culture. If culture was the issue, there would be a skill gap -

Do yall realize what a staggering level of dumbfuckery it is to have to use your tariffs earnings to pay off the people getting fucked by reciprocal tariffs?

The Democrats are asking for $40bn/year to ensure that tens of millions of Americans will have access to health care. The GOP just gave Argentina that same amount for no other reason than having Milel's fucked up government fail would make the GOP and Libertarians look bad.

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 14h

The Trump administration is working on an additional $20 billion support package for Argentina. If completed, it would bring the total price tag of a U.S. backstop plan for Buenos Aires to $40 billion.

U.S. support for Argentina could hit $40 billion

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said an additional $20 billion in private-sector loans for Argentina could effectively double the value of a U.S. rescue plan.

Also, for the love of fuck Conservatives - stop defining yourself by striving to be worse than the people you hate. Whataboutism isn't a debate tactic, it's just a way to try and stop conversation.

Nazi vTubers are easily the dumbest fucking people on the planet.
Christians and Muslims worship the same deity - it's just a differing ruleset and interpretation on whether Jesus was Messianic or not.
KSA - There's no reason for Christians to go there - there are no tourist Visas.

Honestly, I barely play anymore. My joy for this game has been sucked out - I know on some level, the gameplay should be divorced from the corporate greed and shitty tactics, but my other options are either to let myself get rolled or wait for my decks to get power creeped out. Hasbro makes me sad.

Mike Johnson has some legitimately terrible memory or he just doesn't pay attention to anything going on around him, which are great characteristics for a lying sack of shit, but terrible characteristics for the Speaker of the House.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

I think the most dumbshit thing he said was that NYT isn't totally willing to do meaningless puff pieces, and that people still respect the writers rooms at NYT/WaPo/Salon/etc.

The Lost Paladin @paladinlost.bsky.social · 1d

This is a good sound bite, but I think we should all become more familiar with the distinction between misinformation and disinformation. There was misinformation around COVID - we didn't have all the info, so some statements were either misinformed or true at the time. RFK's disinformation is lies.

There's like five actual Libertarians in the world.
99.99999% of all Libertarians fall into one of three categories:
1. I want to drive my girlfriend around without a car seat.
2. I want to be MAGA but without the backlash.
3. I read Atlas Shrugged at 14 and stopped thinking entirely.

54/12 = 4.5
68/30 = 2.26666 (??)
72/12 = 6
82/18 = 4.555555556

What the fuckery?

Toilet paper is the hardest kind of math:
12 mega plus = 54 regular
30 double plus = 68 regular
12 super mega = 72 regular
18 plus = 82 regular

The extreme left’s weird soft treatment of Nick Fuentes is a reminder that if you go far enough in either direction, you loop back around

There is nothing good nor hot about Bubsy. Bubsy is a plague - some sort of cat-locust that returns to ravage the good Earth every dozen or so years.

One of the things I like most about my move to Bluesky (and leaving the other site) is how it's taught me to be a better consumer. I used to bite on rage-bait bullshit but then I realize if I don't value the person making the rage-bait, there's no value in discussing it. So now I just block Sally.

Legendary Creature — Spider Human Hero

Whenever you attack, put a +1/+1 counter on target attacking creature.

Whenever a modified creature you control deals combat damage to a player, exile the top card of your library. You may play that card this turn. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)

Obviously, Flavor Flav is a real one - but this is a more well-reasoned and communicated message on firearms than 99% of what comes out of DC.

I can't put my finger on it, but the Broncos seem like the worst 4-2 team possible. Lost to Indy and the Chargers, but won games that all feel sketch - Cam Ward's first game, a positively awful Jake Browning game, that weird Philly game where the defense folded, and now the Jets.
