I thought I'd never have to pay any attention to him when he left Real World Road Rules Challenge, but here we fucking are.
He loves to brag up his lumberjack skills.
I really thought I would never have to pay any attention to him when he left congress.
But no, he gets to prove his incompetence daily. And now his idiot son-in-law is running for congress.

The Government sees it as a “moral duty” to cut disability benefits.
I see it as a moral duty to call them ableist pieces of shit who want to kill disabled people.
The real moral duty should be to end poverty and tax the rich

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Okay, now can we do Brexit was influenced by Russia and so was every advocate of it?
Isn't it so weird to deeply know in your bones something obvious with no equivocation, for years and years, and then to one day see articles about people wondering if maybe the incredibly obvious thing you've known this whole time might be happening, as if the media is discovering it now??

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

Hard not to simply call Labour evil at this point honestly.
Labour have explicitly decided to make a virtue of the fact that Brexit now allows the UK to spank asylum seekers in ways contrary to EU law by taking away guaranteed financial assistance.

Speaking as a stroke survivor, it would be really cool if people stopped blaming his shift to the right on his stroke, brain damage, etc. After my CVT, I had to relearn how to read, write, and speak, but you know what I didn't have to relearn? How to not be a racist asshole.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

I sure hope it permanently takes down anyone who is implicated or ran cover for someone who is, and the sooner the better. When you clean out the stables you get clean stables.
"This could take down Democrats, too."
I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.
Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

Harm to SNAP recipients, federal workers, and others is real. In a normal democracy it’d make sense to prioritize reducing that harm in the short term.
In a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.

two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame
