Think bigger.
Plumber who reads books, doesn't believe in god, "overthinks," and triggers conservative coworkers. Music nerd and extremely amateur drummer. A very strange mix of a person.

Think bigger.
"It's about mental health!" Then proceeds to give not a single solitary shit about mental health...
Dog, the house is falling apart. Get your shit together.
Seems our buddy O'Neill here has some barely used gray matter he could sell.
I refuse to mourn the death of fascists.
There's actual human beings suffering, and apparently, our "democratically elected leaders" can't find the time or the money to give a shit.
Pritzker > Newsom
You're 5 years late, Bill.
Snoop's been a fucking letdown since the Olympics.
My girlfriend visited Japan a couple years ago and saw literally ONE (1) homeless person.
I'm personally a fan of the French solution.
Oh, my god. Am i gonna have to buy a hard copy of the Constitution now? I mean, this is the most obvious Ministry of Truth shit when taken with Trump's firing of the job reports lady. Like, anyone who's even heard of 1984 should know how obvious this is.
That's the most Orwellian shit I've ever heard.
Put him on a ticket.
Remember when MAGA was throwing a shit fit about HIPAA? I sure do.
I'm just hoping for Big Trouble in Little China situation.
"I'm not questioning your integrity. I'm denying its existence."
Good. Let's hope it affects more users.
Lol. You suck, and everyone knows it. I bet even your mom knows. 😂😂
To be clear, I voted Biden in both the last two elections. I'll take a liberal over a fascist every day of the week and twice on Sunday, but they bum me out so goddamn hard. Your average milquetoast liberal will never solve any of the actual problems that gave us Trump in the first place.
It calls to mind Malcolm X's take on liberals, and maybe you should go contend with him.
Lol. No, you. Cuz you think I believe politics is binary. I know it's not, and that's why I can't trust 'liberals' to make the right choice often enough. I know liberals aren't the enemy, but more often than not, they're no help in actually accomplishing anything. Not an enemy, also not a friend.
The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.
The word you're looking for is "favorite".
Politicians hide themselves away. They only started the war. Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor. Time will tell on their power minds. Making war just for fun, Treating people just like pawns in chess, Wait 'till their judgment day comes... - Ozzy Osbourne, "War Pigs"
Public employees should be, you know, public?
That's the stupidest shit I ever heard.
Aside from Juneteenth, Texas would go on to play another surprising role in black history when the University of North Texas became the first university in the world to offer a degree in jazz studies. Happy Juneteenth! Now go listen to some Fela Kuti.
I mean, let's be honest, most democrats too.
That's the trick of flooding the zone. You forget about this sort of thing.
Insane scenes in Downtown Los Angeles as the cops open fire indiscriminately on people milling about. The cops shattered a business’s windows while firing on a live-streaming journalist. Keep this in mind when people talk about the protesters causing property destruction. 🎥 : AXN News on YouTube
Just take all the toilet paper.
Two things can be true.
Cops are pussy-ass bitches.
I'd get banned for saying what I really wanna say.
Christians shouldn't be sad either, cuz "They're in a better place now," and the rest of us are stuck in this shithole.
I love it when these fuckos are sad. 😁
He's so unfathomably stupid...
Trump has no mental decline because the word implies you must start from a relatively elevated position.
Life doesn't need a point. Life IS the point. - @noahlugeons.bsky.social
So I'm reading Daniel Kahneman's Thinking Fast and Slow, and I'm coming to realize that all the old philosophy of mind, logic, and reason that I love is just psychology and a little math. I hate math.
Worth a follow. I hope you keep doing this. 👍
Orwell never said we'd have to WEAR Big Brother.
I just saw this and had to share-- If you're ever having a debate about the value of DEI where the person you're talking with just doesn't get it-- pause and then ask them what their golfing handicap is.
This is just Reagan's Star Wars again.
I knew conspiracy theorists were gonna have a field day with this one.

No shit. What are you and your friends doing about it?
Meh...
Immaculate squad vibes.
Holy shit, why the hell is Draymond Green still allowed to play basketball?
Do you want a Butlerian Jihad? Cuz this is how you get a Butlerian Jihad.
"Reasonable" does not simply mean that you have reasons. Those "reasons" still have to stand up to logical scrutiny; or, "Reason" in the philosophical sense, not the colloquial sense.
Are you arguing that it is actually reasonable to believe things that have little to no evidence? You use the word "reasons" to describe your arguments and thus seem to make a rhetorical leap because it's the same word, but you're using it in two different ways.
None of those resemble anything that one might reasonably call evidence.

Until they get conscripted and sent to the front lines.
Maybe somewhere with an average elevation below sea-level. Like, the sea...

Time for a little more state's rights, huh?
No, they are not. Nor should they ever be. May rocks be ever in their shoes.
Running the economy on hope and prayers.
You know what? I feel like I haven't been seeing as many "patriots" as you would expect to see lately. Must've been a whole bunch of posers, huh?
Just fucking getting newsed in the face every fucking day
Right, I figured I didn't explain it very well. I understood it as the party apparatus gave the Pashas a degree of separation and a veneer of deniability, without *technically* giving any orders. But I listen at work and maybe missed something. Thanks for the correction.
Jake for President.
@lionsledbydonkeys.bsky.social is doing a series on the Armenian genocide, and they mention how much of the violence was organized and carried out by the Turkish national party, not the actual government despite their clear endorsement.
"This new culture was to be synthetic. Not merely... the combination of different beliefs or practices. A combination like this *must tolerate contradictions*." - Umberto Eco, Ur-Fascism
Alright, I only made it through 5-6 chapters of Sinclair Lewis' 'It Can't Happen Here' cuz it just felt too real, but I still think it doesn't get enough credit alongside 1984 and Brave New World as an alarmingly incisive anticipation of uniquely American authoritarianism.
Check in tomorrow when Trump will insist that he always wanted Powell gone and that we've always been at war with EastAsia.
Imagine how much more time we'd all have if we all threw our modems in a giant bonfire of vanities.
The media doesn't want you to see that it's not a jail, it's slavery.
Two things can be true.
When I was a kid, I had a mattress covered in this and it was the coolest thing in the world.
I'm just playing a little. It's an excellent point, and Snyder's book is genuinely on my reading list. I can sympathize with people's distrust of corporate media, but it's a poor excuse for ignorant cynicism. The answers are out there.
It's on my list, alright? I'll get around to it eventually...
Preach. 🙌
I remember being pleasantly surprised they were advocating for this bill. It just seems... a bit callous to specifically cancel the LGBTQ focused elements of the program.
My immediate reaction after the election. Dems need to sprint left.
They don't care if queer kids die. Soulless bastards. May they get what they give.
I could've sworn Trump ran on "no new wars." This seems... incongruous.
Two things can be true. Attention is still a limited resource.
Everyone's thinking it. JD Vance killed the pope.
... directly at a brick wall.
My aunt is a trans woman, and as far back as I can remember, I never saw it as wrong. Just... strange. But even then, they were family, and that matters more. The strangeness fades eventually.
I think Hillary could've won if she had answered "MAGA" with, simply, "What, you don't think America is great?"
That's kinda the point.
“I think only good people deserve due process” right but how do we determine whether or not they’re good people, that’s what due process IS “ah so you support terrorists” at this point yes absolutely
Vigorously, even.
The attention economy is hill #1. Stake a claim and hold it to the last.
There's a greater fear that might be more effective...
"I just want to survive, man." It's impressive, really. You can't even hear the defeatism when it comes out of your own mouth because you've disguised it as realism.
Fuck mere survival. I want to win.
Then, logically, the battle is already lost, and there's no point resisting. You know, the textbook definition of defeatism.
