We can build a world where being in a gambling ad is just as cringe as being in a crypto ad was a few super bowls ago.
NFT, crypto, sports betting, polymarket. It's all the same grift, and everyone associated with it deserves unending mockery at the very least.

When I lived in France we had a sweet old neighbor lady who would spit every time she passed a certain house. Eventually, her daughter explained to me that the home belonged to a man who’d collaborated with the Nazis 60 YEARS AGO. May these ICE goons face a similarly lonely future.

Some Olympic athletes commonsensically and even eloquently distinguish love of country from approval of Trump administration actions that are a blight upon the country.
Trump and MAGA squeal and whine.

Hi all, there are a lot of things to be said about the chaos, kidnapping and murder, that is happening in the state I live in right now. I want to highlight some things I have personally seen in the last month or so out on the streets in Minneapolis.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Definitely Team Hunter. Those of us who aren't down with the racist bullshit, blatant racism, fascism, and the domestic terrorism of ICE want to represent everything that is good and hopeful.
The president is now attacking a US Olympian as a “Loser” and misrepresenting his words for his mild unspecified criticisms about things going on in the US right now.

What *about* that 5-year-old US citizen? Finish the sentence, Congressman. What does that hypothetical child have to do with Liam Ramos? Spell it out. Don’t just say “but what about our kids” and stop there. Explain your logic.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

The prevailing attitude among Republicans pretty clear is "Democrats shouldnt be allowed to fight back against us," which makes sense for a political party led by a rapist and full of sexpests, pedophiles, & pedophile protectors at every echelon

I'm gonna have a big ol bag of chips and I don't look and sound like a desiccated meatball trying desperately to speak human English so whose diet is really working here?
RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."

This entire thread is excellent. But also, another reason I haven't crowdfunded (and am, indeed, reluctant even to back things from abroad) recently is because the politics are too unstable and are destabilizing costs in turn
So while I consider the advice to not tie things to crowdfunding “profits” to be evergreen, it’s ESPECIALLY important in times of turmoil.
Like, y’know, now.
