the best unpopular opinions make everyone mad but nobody hurt: a truly victimless crime

Narrator: T-REX SHARES HIS MOST UNPOPULAR OPINION:
T-Rex: I think the cave paintings are pretty crappy!
T-Rex: I'm sorry, but it's true!

T-Rex: Their use of perspective is nonexistent, and sense of place is sketchy AT BEST!!

Dromiceiomimus: Of COURSE they don't have good perspective: that hadn't been invented yet! They're CAVE PAINTINGS, T-Rex!
T-Rex: I just think they could've tried harder to make good art, you know?
Dromiceiomimus: THEY WERE LITERAL CAVE PEOPLE WHO HADN'T YET INVENTED PAINT! They were trying harder than any previous cave people in history!!

T-Rex: I hear you, and I respect you, but you have to admit: they're HELLA amateurish.
Utahraptor: What?!

Utahraptor: Of course CAVE PAINTINGS are amateurish! They're done by people who haven't even invented HAVING JOBS yet, much less the job of PROFESSIONAL ARTIST! The WHOLE WORLD was amateurs!!
T-Rex: I'm just saying - they could be better. I could do WAY better, no problem.

Off panel: You have the benefit of literally THOUSANDS OF YEARS of EDUCATION and KNOWLEDGE and TECHNOLOGY!!
T-Rex: YES! And you know what those thousands of years of education, knowledge, and technology tell me??
T-Rex: These guys SUCKED

looks like the custom flasks I ordered for my bachelor party are stuck at some warehouse in Canada and haven’t so much as moved in two weeks. Just my fucking luck, as if the wedding planning stress wasn’t bad enough

lol this is why I’ll never give a dime to you useless quislings. Despite facing an existential threat from fascists cutting your federal funding, you can’t help but to continue manufacturing consent for these jackbooted thugs. It’s fucking pathetic!

it’s been 5 years since I backed a kickstarter for an Override remake and at this point I’ve given up on that shit, like how hard could this possibly be

If Russell Vought had escaped your attention so far, my Businessweek colleague @chafkin.bsky.social wrote a great profile earlier this year that gets into what exactly his whole deal is. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

The Real Mastermind Behind Trump’s Imperial Presidency

Elon Musk is the face of DOGE, but Russell Vought is the brains. He’s been planning such a crusade since well before Project 2025.

I mean the job security is nice but Christ, it would be amazing to be able to trust anyone else to not fuck things up without me
