Yeah, I listen to a lot of the "fantasy lofi to study to" type shit when I am reading because it works great for that purpose. The best of it would be my 2,027th favorite album.

It's awesome, I love getting updates on how my deliveries that I've already received will be here soon because the bots can't handle delivery ranges or emails with multiple deliveries.

If JUDGES can say it, I feel like we should be long past Democrats being too afraid to cast aspersions on the court (whether or not it's a distraction)

"Oh you believe in evidence in science? I bet you love Trump dismantling the CDC!"

"Oh you're mad about USAID being dismantled? Why aren't you mad about us not supporting domestic poverty reduction?"

The peak of debate, making up a guy with completely incoherent beliefs and then pretending half the country is that person.

"Oh you're against child abuse, but you love underground child fight clubs, huh? Disgusting!"

We're having to relearn why we made kids stories have overwhelmingly moralistic and positive messages, like we're waking up from cryo sleep and rebuilding society from 0

This is the Supreme Court special. The "we're going to avoid pushing any boundaries, because we don't want to find out the Supreme Court is actually just a lawless partisan entity" plan that all Dem Presidents fall into.

Dem electeds are correct to be afraid and the police need to be broken.

They must touch the stove. Dems must regain power. And then the tech billionaires and PE firms they built the propaganda machines burned to the ground and salted.

Brain mush is cumulative, the longer they have to inflict it on people the less hope we have of saving the country

Of course "every" indie game developer loves it. It's the thievery machine. Why interact and pay other humans when the thievery machine can make you some vaguely fantasy sounding music, draw you some vaguely SNES era art, and fill out your story for you?

There's that and a clear indication that these journalists that still have jobs at these mainstream places are just straight up letting AI do the writing: they've promoted themselves to editor and all the real editors got fired.

The Frog Economist thinks he's very smart but all of his commentators have a very clear understanding of what it and they mean.

Joe Biden had a very clear path after the "The President is a King Sent by God" ruling and it was to toss six justices in prison for crimes against the Republic.

Democrats hate leftists so much that they would rather submarine their own negotiation position than temporarily hold a similar lefty position they know they'll compromise out of

A close cousin of another Democratic favorite: compromising in advance.

Rather than "we think everyone in America should have healthcare" it tactically becomes "everyone in America should get healthcare subsidies except immigrants and rich people and and and..." and now you're just punching ghosts

Not true. There were millions of them that voted for Donald Trump because of Biden's stance on Israel.

How do I know? Because the internet blaming them has said so!

They needed more YouTube cooking videos in the early 80's

"What if you boiled broccoli for less time?" An incredible innovation in parental cooking techniques that our parents could never suss out.

I honestly think the bigger thing is, "COVID showed that all the people in power were on your side when it comes to you being a piece of shit"

Don't want to get a shot? Want to cough on people? Most of the elites agree and support you! And that extrapolated to *waves hands* all this

I would come home from school to an empty apartment and play video games for four hours. That's pretty easy for parents, but nowadays that's screen time that will kill your children.

One of the funny places that parenting kind of sucks more is that society is offering more for kids.

It's very cool my kids are in six activities each. It sucks that I have to chaperone every single one!

What if we added a bunch of cost to podcasting, so we can really center and show off our unlikeable failures!

I would prefer zero shutdowns and zero authoritarians, but that is not the hand we have been dealt.

It's good actually to make everyone in America angry when the government is trying to go full authoritarian. You do not want people fat and happy when El Presidente declares the Great Khan a criminal, with no evidence; you want them ready to walk into the streets.
