Lassiez-faire capitalism is going real great, everything is a scam, poison, or fake AI bullshit. Or old spice, for some reason. Their ad budget must be insane

Cayman (real) @caymanwent.bsky.social · 13h

Wonder when google’s gonna get mad at me for reporting literally every other ad as either dangerous or hateful. Thus far today (only like three videos) I’ve gotten: fascist clothing, a crypto scam using a musk deepfake, and an ad for unregulated ivermectin pills. Corporate negligence

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

NEW: Colo. AG Phil Weiser (D) isn't optimistic that the Supreme Court will uphold Colorado's ban on conversion therapy for minors. It would be the third SCOTUS loss for Colo. on free speech/religious liberty grounds. I asked Weiser if Colo. is hostile to conservative Christians. #copolitics

Sure ammo vending machines in grocery stores may seem dystopian now, but when life becomes a zombie game these will come in quite handy

Thinking of the "everyone is twelve" theory and drawing parallels to the classroom. The bullies act out for attention, two or three kids think they're hilarious and sidle over to be their schoolyard goons, the rest are either indifferent or think it's sad. Most just want to get on with school.

An authoritarian takeover requires either the support or fear of the people, and these clowns can't manage either. For every bloodthirsty fascist scrambling to join the ICE brownshirts, there's ten idiots reconsidering their support because "I thought he'd be good for the economy"

Very fun thread. The fascist apparatus thought they'd be marking in lockstep into the cities and crushing the resistant populace under the boots, but in reality they look increasingly like fools mugging for the cameras to entertain the fashy dweebs back home. Absolutely no mandate, nor soft power

Kristi Noem is standing on the roof of the ICE building here in Portland trying to act like she’s bravely observing the insurrection (there’s like 5-10 people nearby yelling profanity at her) and she’s started telling the feds to shoot incendiary rounds in to a nearby lot to get fire for her LARP.

I don't believe so. I don't have onedrive activated and I was able to activate ESU just fine with that tool

Can’t believe these are legal over the counter. This is the type of shit that would make me lose a custody battle

Hope that you have the exact correct “in-demand skills” the job market demands or get used to renting forever and counting pennies, I guess. The slow but inevitable decay of capitalism has left you behind.
