I've been curating an Authoritarian Right block list for a while, and just started sharing it recently. Here's a link for anyone who wants to use it, and an explainer below if you want to know more about it.

According to a report released 6 months ago, 2/3 of SNAP recipients are either disabled, children, or over 60. Of the remaining 1/3, more than half worked within a month of receiving benefits, 74% worked within a year.

Mozzarella of "I may have killed your Grandma, but let's be honest, she had like 6 months tops anyway, and also it's not like you ever visited her in the nursing home."

What they don't tell you is that if you suplex Bony Dan through the dessert table, the smashed cake is what they give you.

My dad went out for cigarettes, then suddenly I started getting an error message that I couldn't be connected to the subscription server?

Cuomo didn't give up when he lost in the primary, I have no doubt he's going to keep fighting for us (enjoyers of shitty campaign memes)

And getting donked, of course, is when you get spammed with resistlib memes with AI generated animals.

If there's one thing you need to know about Brendel, it's that no one has ever misinterpreted a sarcastic skeet from him. He might not realize that such a thing is possible, so this response wound up being very informative.

A search of Kevin's post history shows that he only criticizes Hegseth for things like his abrasive personality, incompetence, alcohol abuse and history of sexual assault. Didn't criticize his tattoo, though. Such hypocrisy.

The symbol is called a Totenkopf, and was originally used as a symbol for certain units within the SS rather than the Nazi party as a whole. That's why you don't see the higher ups wearing it.

Having an infinitely renewable water source will be an invaluable resource in the coming apocalypse. And your basement is the area of your house which will be exposed to the least radiation!

During the post pandemic tech hiring boom, it was reported that they hired a bunch of people who they didn't have work for, just to drain the talent pool for their competitors.

@greenevillezoo.bsky.social you need to train your security better. They don't just need to make sure everyone coming in bought a ticket, they need to make sure they're not a bear.

That said, wearing clothes longer is only half the battle. Finding clothes that are made to last goes a long way.

Maybe they should have named the project after the Greek name for The Light Bringer. Lucifer, for anyone who's not familiar.

We need Andrew Cuomo to implement that idea where we have Ubers, but they drive predetermined routes and passengers get in and out along the route. The important difference between that and a bus is that the drivers get paid like shit.

Also, how many fruits and vegetables are actually better than we realize because we've been eating the ones bred for yield rather than flavor?

Well, I was drunk in Croatia and wanted to get a tattoo of Trogdor the Burninator. I told the artist to draw an S, and then another S, and I forgot how the rest went, but he showed me a picture of these cool lightning bolts and... Look, if you don't vote for me...

What if people didn't have context or a sense of humor? They'd have to do the emotional labor of reading this and being confused.

"Economic blackout! No travel!"

"I never said not to travel, you fucking moron!"

Portion of an image from Democratic Activists advertising an economic blackout. There is a list of things not to do, the third is travel.

Reply from another user: People travel to see their families for Thanksgiving. This is going to fail.

Reply from Democratic Activists: I feel like I’m in the twilight zone. NO WHERE does it say not to see your family for Thanksgiving. It’s a shame, most of the posts are over the top “we can do this; we have to do this”. If you can’t not spend money for 7 days, including black friday, you are not in tune with what’s happening.

I am dasharezone's uncle and I am very upset by this post. If you say you genuinely hate soup while there's a genocide going on, I get to call you an idiot.
