Kids these days and their need for newfangled gadgets and gegaws and sensors that relay information back to the manufacturer so they can tell your insurance company so they can jack up your rates. Back in my day Eyeball Mk I was a good enough sensor for us!

The top text reads "When you can't afford a car with parking sensors." There are rubber chickens attached to the front bumper of a car, which is parked just a couple inches behind another car. A third car is parked in the back of the picture perpendicular in relation to the two cars in the front. All the cars are a boring white color.

This is a Watchmen meme with Dr. Manhattan sitting down on a rock on Mars. There are two series of texts with 4 bullet points each. The headline for the top says "It's 1998" and the one for the bottom says "It's 2025." The bullet points for both are the same and read as follows: There is a war in the Congo Valve has a major announcement There is a major stock market bubble due to tech speculation Bill Clinton is in the news for receiving a blowjob

The pro-Mamdani memes keep coming.
A giant image with a mostly red background. Prominent white text reads "TRUMP endorses CUOMO" on the red with images of the aforementioned sex offenders below it. At the very botton on a black background is a post by Sam Stein @samstein from somewhere that reads "Trump says he'd vote for Cuomo"

My adopted sister Gracie (remember, she was my mom's cat) had her vet appt 13 hours ago. Here are the pictures for #caturday
Gracie, a 13.5 year old calico cat, inside a carrier. Gracie, a 13.5 year old calico cat, loafing on the scale/bed as she's waiting on the vet. Above and towards the back the scale reads 13.5lbs, which is a pound heavier than the nurse officially weighed her.

The "it's always you three" meme from the Harry Potter movies. McGonagall: "Why is it when something shitty happens on the internet it's always you three?" Harry's head has "META" on it. Ron's has "X". Hermione's has "OPENAI".

Someone in a Discord server asked why I fucking hate Fakebook so much. I unloaded with 5 points off the top of my head.

I shared my reply in the alt text of this image.
A black rectangle. That's literally it. I'm posting this jusf to share the following as described in the post: 1) They conducted illegal behavioral studies on their users around 2010-2012 to make them angrier (and found it drives engagement). 2) Around 2011 they started forcing people to change their names including people using aliases, trans people using preferred names, performers using stage names, Native Americans using their actual tribal names, etc. 3)The whole "Cambridge Analytica" thing. 4) Other companies are gaming Meta's algorithm in order to change people (this ties into both points 1 and 3, and explains why you have brainwashed relatives). 5) Meta, then still known as Facebook Inc, has been credibly accused by the UN of facilitating the genocide of the Rohingya people of Myanmar. 6) WhatsApp has ingratiated itself into the societies of certain countries then decided to collect as much data about their users as they can (remember the ToS changes in 2021?). All this is just off the top of my head.

Holy shit. Zohran Mamdani hasn't been elected yet and this is only the second high-profile criminal who will leave NYC if he's elected (the first is Andrew Cuomo).
A tweet on the deadbirdsite from convicted felon George Santos a.k.a. Anthony Devolder a.k.a. Kitara Revache saying the following: Sadly it seems that my family and I will be departing the city we called home my entire life. NYC will become a very dangerous place to live in if we elect mayor Mamdani and that is a risk I am unwilling to take now that I want to start growing my family. Door, ass, way out.

A post on the Blueski by @kibblesmith.com. 3 post thread that reads in its entirety as follows: They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life. I truly believe they’re all happier when they’re losing. Sorest winners imaginable. They’re Nazis who are following you *out of the Nazi bar* because being just sitting there being a Nazi isn’t fun, the whole point is tormenting people, how dare you ignore them, how dare your life not revolve around entertaining them for free.

A screencap of one of my posts on the Blueski. The original post is from Michelle Belanger (sethanikeem) and it reads as follows: Anti-what??? Anti-fa(scist) The second part should never be silent My repost reads as follows: If the answer to the question "Are you antifa?" isn't an automatic "yes," then it's safe to say whoever you're talking to is a fucking fascist and should be punched in the face. I screencapped it in case Atomwaffles deletes that post and bans me for 24 hours.

This is how the Oathkeepers managed to bait a whole bunch of veterans to follow their social media bullshit. I am EXTREMELY skeptical of any institution that isn't the military floating this rhetoric, but I still agree with that rhetoric all the same.

That being said, is that fucking taco dead yet?
A pic of a 4 star Marine Corps General. Picture is captioned as follows: If I am ever put into a situation where 38 years of an oath is put at risk to do something different the answer is simple: I will adhere to my oath to the Constitution. Marine Corps Gen. Christopher Mahoney
