  • …good lord, I think I now want Mitch to live, at least a little bit longer. How the fuck is this dilapidated man gonna do in a Senate debate!?

    Imagine an interviewer asking him a question on what he thinks of our security posture in the pacific and if we need more troops in Taiwan and South Korea and he just smiles and flashes a ✌ at 'em.

    Then, he may rest.










  • Do we wanna punish the pedophile President who ate babies he raped with Epstein on that island, inspired an insurrection, fucked our entire economy up, got us into another forever war, and ruined our reputation with our allies, undid tons of civil rights we gained in the last 50 years, or do we want eggs and gas to not cost so damn much?

    We cannot have both?

    Fuck me sideways, I’m so glad the Do-Nothing Democraps are in power now. I really really REALLY hope the more progressive wing can pressure the corpo dems into capitulation. If not, we are boned.


  • Ignoring the overall implications of this, as a Veteran I never liked images like this. The idea we fight for your right.

    Back when I was in, we all had the “are we the baddies” feeling in the back of our heads. Like why the fuck am I in Iraq? What did Iraq ever do to us? I was there during Inherent Resolve, so really most of us felt we were the bad guys.

    We said your country had WMD, they didn’t, and now we’re here to solve the problems we created by killing Saddam Hussein. What does any of this have to do with defending your freedoms? To my fellow Americans, did you misplace your freedom in Iraq? What about Afghanistan? Is it in Syria or Kuwait?

    There’s no atheists in the foxholes, but most of us would joke about how we can’t make it into heaven. We’d joke about, “REMEMBER WHAT YOU’RE FIGHTING FOR! MASSIVE OIL CONGLOMORATES AND LOCKHEED MARTIN! IF YOU SURVIVE, MAYBE YOU CAN WORK FOR THEM!”

    Like we know we are the bad guys! We joined for college and now have to fight for imperialism to earn the right to just not go into debt if you’re lucky enough to get out with all your physical and mental faculties working.

    I just want you to think of me as a guy who took a shitty, sketchy job because I was desperate when I was 18 and my recruiter fucking lied to me.

    I eat ass.

    Like when the writing subreddit banned AI, I am really skeptical of this.

    Like how on earth do you enforce such a thing? I remember the mods of those subreddits said “we have tools to use that” but tools to detect AI are usually really bad.

    I’m seriously willing to bet this isn’t going to be enforced in any meaningful way or potentially be abused wrongly. Having been to Indiana many times, it’s almost certainly gonna be the former.



  • We really need to fight back against needless censorship. It’s like now we gotta admit 1984 was bullshit. You don’t need a giant government to make people censor their words, we fucking do it ourselves.

    We do it because we’re all haunted by ‘the algorithm’ which 9 times out of 10 never works as people think it does. Did you know Youtube doesn’t censor or surpress your video if you say the word “fourteen” when referring to a person who was GROOMED?!

    Holy shit, this is driving me insane. I’m actually gonna go full shizo one day, I swear to god.
