American law, it seems to me, exists to create a condition of constant titillation for people whose material needs are never unmet, but whose appetites have been teased into a state of ungovernable sadism by sloganeering & advertising that promises a return to a world that never existed & never will

Our survival is their failure

I knew eventually right-wing shock troops were coming here

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

at this point it's nearly impossible to figure out who is actually stupid vs who is pretending to be stupid vs who used to be pretending to be stupid but did it for so long they became actually stupid

The burden of proof is now squarely on the Democratic Party to show it is not systematically colluding with the far right, even under a fascist consolidation, to exclude social democrats from power

Donald Trump has pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. Binance has been a major supporter of Trump's crypto projects, and Trump has already made millions after Binance accepted a $2 billion investment from an Emirati fund denominated in the Trump family's USD1 stablecoin.

I dunno, maybe you were in the USAF Handing Out Ice Cream division, but if you need me to validate your life's work then that's on you. The US military exists to kill and the fact that we don't have to force people to do it is deeply embarrassing to the nation and the species.

No. There's no rule that says the army can't have planes and boats and whatever the marines are for. It's waste fraud and abuse.

The same as the above picture but I added some movie poster bells and whistles. It's now "ERNEST GOES TO HELL" and it's got a quote from Roger Ebert who calls it "RELENTLESS!"

What alarm? Is he just up there saying "somebody should do something about this" for 20 hours?

People criticizing my sowing tattoo should consider that I have reaping-related trauma.

alex @sweatpants.bsky.social · 1d

If criticizing your "badass killer death trooper" tattoo triggers your PTSD, but seeing a depiction of a dismembered body part that commemorates your time killing people in the mirror every morning does not, your trauma is about the wrong thing.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 2d

Ruben Gallego, a Marine who also had PTSD, on Graham Platner: “But, you know, everyone has a right to grow and grow out of their stupidity, essentially. And I think voters should take the opportunity to evaluate that.”
