My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.

"How did you get a book deal?" The perfect crossroads of luck and stubborness. I'm the first to admit I have no idea how I pulled it off.

Can we just take a minute and acknowledge that our POTUS is right OUT IN THE OPEN lobbying Congressional members to vote against releasing the Epstein files?! Like... what the fuck else does anyone even need to know?

Pretty sure I saw my roommate using Gen AI and after I've not shut up about it and how bad it is for months it did feel like a betrayal

if people’s kids are going hungry and it turns out the money for it went to the gold ballroom and they’re refusing to pay up because they can’t, I think one very particular category of French antiques will be coming back in fashion right quick if you know what I mean
Ain’t no way they would be fighting THIS hard to *not* pay out everyone’s SNAP if they truly had it on hand.

It's actually really bad that congressional salaries are just $174,000 for the demands on their time and the amounts of travel they have to do.
The mayor of Minneapolis makes $140,000. State legislators in MN make 51,000, significantly below market for the metro.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature — and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption — then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
