I'm angry again. You can tell I'm angry because I'm rage-skeeting about the state of our country.
Feel free to mute me. I'm sure most of you have already.
Or unfollow. I truly don't care anymore.

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

It stinks but any org with the cash to splash on a Superbowl ad spot is definitionally going to be opposed to any form of actual justice for victims & is cynically employing them as a wedge in service of Pure Evil
As much as I agree that it’s obviously very important right now to put pressure on the admin to release the full Epstein files and prosecute all of the predators involved
This org is anti-sex work, pro-Nordic model, and classifies consensual sex work as exploitation.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Always amazing to see in real time the absolute failure of the conservative cultural movement, whose existence is only recognized at all thanks to billions in astroturfing money and years of gaming recommendation algorithms. They know it's all fake too but can't help but be frustrated by that

I hope everyone involved in that "Good Will Dunkin" commercial gets constipated for a full two years. Just unable to take a single shit. Even Ted Danson. Even Alfonso Ribeiro. They deserve nothing less than that.

I'm physically repulsed by these commercials. The money spent on producing and airing this trash could be used to discount their products for a year, but Svedka would rather burn 10 square miles of rainforest on a shitty pun than do that.

Conservatism should be classified as a mental illness, but not one of the ones that shouldn't be made fun of.
