It really is a shame we never got that left vs right drink off between Nixon and Hunter S Thompson

Hey! We alcoholics do not support any of this bullshit! Most of the times I’ve been drunk off my ass this year has been because of some shit being done by conservative grifters

I swear to gods I’m gonna read an article in two weeks describing how Jon Oliver was thrown from a helicopter in his final show and it will characterize Trumps behavior as “troublingly close to Pinochet”

If I somehow live long enough to see the other side of this shit show I’m never going to psychologically recover from it

Damn I was hoping I hallucinated this last bit

Not for long!!

Did I finally have a stroke?

He needs so much security around him for the rest of his life, I’m not really of the belief that we can wrench things back in the right direction by just voting anymore, but I do think that race can help to break the rigid fear of socialism in this country. And the cat of overt political violence seems to have fully escaped its bag now

The housing crisis is not a problem of lack in supply. More than enough houses exist in the US for everyone to have a roof over their heads. The houses they are building are not going to go to houseless people or even bought by renters or families trying to expand their spaces, they will either be rented out at rates the houseless still can’t afford or used as tax havens.

I get what you’re asking but just building new buildings without programs to make sure they get into the hands of people in need it’s just spinning wheels. Things like what I just described combined with rent control and regulate the use of real estate as an investment would go a long way to fixing things.

If it hadn’t before it’s for sure coming now

Purrodynamics was right there

Even low balling it that seems like a delusional estimate. I’m in an extremely secure postion and I’m still pretty worried because I’m also burned the fuck out and a really recent hire

I’d argue you could’ve trusted them MORE before the Fairness Doctrine was murdered. Certainly still needed to apply skepticism and discernment though

Here’s a scarier thought, if they can fine tune this shit enough they’ll probably just clone themselves and pull a ship of Theseus on themselves. Removing the only remaining equalizer between them and the rest of humanity.

The rich fucks at the top want to become gods. They won’t call it that but that’s the end game for the ones with the most hand on the wheel.

I’m having this weird problem with the news lately, they keep reporting shit that was exactly what everyone expected to happen as though it’s somehow a shocking expose. This was what he was put in that position to do

The last episode of John Oliver before the election last year he made a plea to anyone undecided or not planning to vote to consider, if nothing else, how nice it would be to not have to hear about him everyday. I think about that world a lot

TikTok letting go of their algorithm would be foolish no matter what they need to give up to keep it. In this world of information warfare that’s like giving up the bomb

You’re not wrong that 60% let the 40% bring us here. But at this point there isn’t any mechanism for us to stop this train. The US as it existed is dead and there’s not anything those of us who aren’t hateful crazy bigots can do to bring it back.

I see the value in documenting the ways it’s being violated, but every time I hear someone shocked because “they can’t do that” I’m reminded of how we got here. The only law and rule that matters is what is physically possible

If this came to pass it would be fucking wild
