I'm just here for the political wonks I follow who escaped Twitter, plus the occasional absurdist humor account. Oh and cats.

yeah we are in full state control of businesses now- no telling if he was directly pressured or just went the path of least resistance (though we know how that always works out)

It's really weird. Elon was always a little bananas but Marc had been a pretty solid dude for quite a while.

I think it just proves that in the end social media can rot *anybody's* brain

Great to know the food pyramid is getting a MAGA update

So they'll compromise everyone's info in the name of 'safety" (aka control) and then get hacked anyway. Corporations are great.

Historians argue that Trump indicting his enemies one-by-one rather than having them murdered in a single night proves he’s not a fascist.

It's just lawyerly tedium (but that's a good thing!)

They'll blame Joe Biden for not making it illegal for their Republican representatives to murder them.

Maybe you can find a pope who can weigh in on personal liberties and free markets for them

Hey fuck you guys.

He probably hasn't had to say the word "shell" in 30+ years (don't imagine him to be much of a beachcomber) so he glitches until he can find something that seems close enough.

Yeah i know, but opinion pieces are designed to move cultural / political goalposts, not just float in some "oH iTs jUsT aN oPinIoN" bullshit land.

It's a solid 10-15 years too late to make any connection between Murdoch and his anti-democratic agenda. Fox kept selling Soros as the devil while notable Republicans like Jake Tapper gave Fox & co. cover for YEARS

Back when the camo craze started in the 80s a friend of mine worked the gun counter at the local department store in small-town Texas. Our favorite thing to do when one of those weekend warriors in head-to-to camo came in was act like we could only hear them & not see them.
