The "normal" college schedule is also punishingly overloaded with work precisely to weed out people who won't put up with abusive work schedules. Capitalism all the way down, baked into the foundations.

Nuclear testing isn’t something you greenlight in a post, but turning national security into a fear show is how authoritarians rule.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

I want to talk about this real quick because I already know what people are gonna say and: this fucking matters. Sabrina Carpenter is HUGE with teens/tweens in particular and a bunch of little trans kids saw their idol get up on stage, ping at them, and say “I love *you*, specifically.”
I thought this would just be a "has trans gals and drag queens dancing" but yeah no it is hard to get a clearer message than a few dozen signs saying PROTECT THE DOLLS and TRANS RIGHTS NOW and TRANSPHOBES CAN'T GET LAID
Good fuckin work, Sabrina

Why were farmers growing crops for China anyway?
Didn't they get memo that it's America First now?
Should've ditched those soybeans for something Americans eat!
MAGA loves free market but doesn't pay any attention to their place in it, elects a tariff maniac & now want a bailout?
GTFO with that bs.

The whole reason we can’t have gun control is because 2A enthusiasts believe we need guns to protect us from jackbooted government thugs. But now we have jackbooted government thugs and they honestly seem cool with it so I’m thinking they don’t really need their guns after all.

I travel a fair amount & haven't had much trouble in countries like this. The people that do?
Let's just say that MAGA & people who struggle in countries without firm societal structure in place aren't so much a Venn Diagram as a smaller circle inside a larger one with a tiny sliver poking out.

Been curious to see how certain Americans enjoy living like they do in countries they often love to denigrate.
Can't trust the cops; health care is sketchy, so you only access when absolutely needed; justice is what you can manufacture as a community, not something government guarantees; etc.; etc.

Lord does comparing myself to others lead to a ration of pain. Social media is fuel to the fire. As my father says, "stop comparing your insides to people's outsides."

How often do victims of any crime other than sexual assault get called "accusers"?
The legacy media and its framing of important issues very much greased the path over the cliff into the hell we now find ourselves in...a hell where these same a-holes keep gaslighting us again & again.

and yet Newsweek reported the Epstein victims are "threatening" to compile a list...
That is a shameful representation of the facts....
ONE of the powerful groups to be held accountable is the MEDIA....

I hope the damages are unmanageable. I hope OpenAI collapses under the weight of the liabilities and Altman is left destitute. I hope it serves as a warning to the others
