setting aside the fact that they just don’t know what jokes are, this gives a big insight into the mind of white nationalists. they are deeply paranoid about the idea of being percieved as anything other than Epic Stoics

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

If our TV networks had not been captured by the right wing, some very easy journalism would be to play this clip besides a very not on fire Portland and then tell viewers that the President of the United States is living in an alternate reality.

My wife is playing music videos on the tv and Gangster’s Paradise is an absurdly funny video when they aren’t showing the clips from dangerous minds, the entire concept is that Michelle Pfeiffer asks Coolio what’s going on and he raps a whole song at her while she sits backwards on a chair

it's becoming apparent that there exists an amount of money that is literally a cognitohazard and confiscatory taxation is essentially a medical intervention at that point

It's maddening to know that, let's say elections actually happen and Republicans lose and this entire coup is self-thwarted, all these politicians and lobbyists and media talking heads etc etc will all still have jobs. And that all these ICE thugs won't be in jail.

Even Democrats won't just say the emperor has no clothes. And this is the last fucking dude I want to see naked and so nobody speaking up at how naked he is is absurd. Everyone that isn't in the GOP payroll should be saying this is a fascist dictator who has ALSO lost his already fractional mind

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

So yes, I think these men have no use for other humans - they wouldn't be so obsessed with robots if they did - and they want to eliminate creative work. But the other half of "why can't they make labor easier" is they don't do a lot of that labor. They invented the roomba and called it a day.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

In theory the kitchen should be the easiest space on the planet to clean and it's not because it's designed by men who don't use kitchens. That's it.

Don't get me started on how if I'm not careful my fish slips into a corner of my freezer that requires me to remove the freezer basket to reach

I think that's part of it but the other part is it's men -and in this case especially rich men - and they already don't do those tasks, so they don't see them. This is why we're getting Samsung TV's with ads and not fridges that remind us to eat the lettuce before it spoils

James S. Pumpkins @jspumpkins.bsky.social · 17h

This is the tell that they don't want people with creative capacity. They want menials and drones that they can use extract wealth from their lives and labors, then discard before the next quarterly report.

The actual cruel burden is the point.

Faine Greenwood @faineg.bsky.social · 18h

it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.
