If the part of my mind you have colonized is the part where I put things I hate I don't think that's good

He won by paying $1 million to show that everyone hates his product

10,000+ posters, $1M spend, and the best ad campaign of 2025.

'Friend' billboard campaign in NYC last month was genius.

What made it genius is that every vandal tag, every “AI sucks” defacement, every social screenshot is fuel.

The campaign was created as a provocation.

Friend leaned into controversy, volatility, even hate, because those are the signals that drive mindshare in 2025.

If you ever stuck up for "ideological diversity ' or good faith debate or whatever and thought guys like Thiessen were part of that congratulations you are a huge sucker and Thiessen and the other conservatives are laughing at you now that they won.

Ian Carroll is a bad dude. He appears on Alex Jones and regularly dabbles in anti-semitic conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the holocaust.

If Ro Khanna is not only sharing his videos but sitting down to talk with him or his allies, something is fundamentally broken within the Democratic Party.

I don't take a dime from any PAC or lobbyist, including AIPAC.

I am proud to be one of the handful of Democrats standing up against Big Money.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

The great thing about there being no celebs on here is that we're finally free to make up our own celebs, like the famous film star "Gloriana Rémoulade-Creek", who won the Best Actress Oscar for playing Adjudicator Marrowsap in Pixar's first R-rated live-action film "Dissected"

WWII "Friend" poster series from the Allied Forces, originally demonstrating the various Allied forces (British, Australian, Chinese, French, Dutch, etc.) and their appearances

It reads:

"This man is your FRIEND

He fights for FREEDOM"

The image is a sepia/black and white toned image of the Portland Frog protester, simply labelled FROG

Screenshot from the Atari 2600 game Earthquest: a green strip at the bottom, with icons for a dagger, a grappling hook, and a rope, rendered in primitive pixel art, and the main screen is thin horizontal bands that start out as yellow at the top and bottom and change from orange, to light red, to pink, and to light purple, with a purple horizontal stripe in the center of the screen with the numbers 16 and 4, rendered in black pixels. These numbers refer to a page and panel on a comic book that came with the game, which contains a hidden word, which theoretically would help you win a sword if you made it through all four games, but man this game was a confusing pain in the ass.

Why are all the bad things "here to stay" and all the things I love up for constant debate until they're eroded out of life altogether?

Once upon a time there was a pair of brothers who lived on a farm: John the elder and James the younger. one day, James came running up to John, who was raking the autumn leaves from the farmhouse porch.

we didn't have a crossing guard at a busy intersection near my kid's school and for a while, the only thing that got drivers to stop (at a crosswalk! while I was walking with a kindergartener!) was when I held up a brick in my hand while crossing the street
