I should play Disco Elysium the way out was meant to Stoned
Cars aren't cool anymore. Especially if you need a car in general. And cars are only cool if they're super useful, not because they've got some cool design or something or even some feature.
I think a major social taboo we need to break is thinking of politicians, celebrities, or the rich as a higher stage citizen. Not only do they not wield that power, they often do not deserve it. A rich person is not more important than you.
trying to decide if I should be boromir or Aragorn for Halloween and then I realized I would absolutely, 100% be tempted by the Ring
It's a Republican tradition!
Trick statement there are no good mounties.
I do describe myself as a leftist but that's just easier than explaining the complex federationist system I purport lol
The police are the military being used for this coup. The troops are being sent to pick up trash while the cops take over and do Trump's bidding.
youtu.be/rR58heUGkNA?...
Oh so it is a joke.
Is thisan actual joke?
Are you kidding me?
Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.
You were one of the first faces on BSky I encountered that I could tell had their head on straight
Trump is currently murdering citizens in international waters of a country we are not at war with. Contemplate that.
I'm pretty sure the prose of this is to exhaust them and spread them thin. The real military are the militarized POLICE, not the army.
The soldiers who pulled the trigger and the officers who gave the order that destroyed those ships in Venezuela have committed war crimes. They can be convicted of murder and obeying illegal orders.
It's intentional, to make everything questionable so fascists can make whatever answers they want become the truth. If vaccines are up in the air, so is climate change. So is genetics. So is race science. They're just asking questions.
So you don't believe that ai will take your job, that's fine. But it is taking: 1) your right to fresh, clean air 2) your right to clean water 3) entry level and customer service jobs 4) artistic jobs It is impacting: 1) your electric bill 2) mental health across all creeds 3) online safety
Not that the courts can do anything about it
How can you reach across the aisle to someone trying to cut off your hand?
Leftists have been telling folks that the best way to stop fascists is physically, with protests and confrontation, and it's literally the only thing that's had any success, and you still won't listen. I am telling you, right now, directly. And I have no expectation you'll listen.
Nothing wrong with dashboards but there's plenty wrong with shafting your workers and enforcing brain drain and destroying entire industries. They're spending dollars to save dimes and they won't even succeed.
And who is going to police Trump and stop him? All the people who could work for Trump.
Broadly of the opinion that "Ukraine is on the verge of collapse" headlines as Russian offensives heat up are actually a psyop by the SBU to create a false sense of weakness and lure the katsapy into traps.
It's the same with Babylon 5 on Tubi lol
probably the best part about being a liberal is that Nothing Is Ever Your Fault
This is a hell of your own making and you've dragged us along with YOUR incompetence and malice.
By the way there's no evidence leftists didn't show up on election day, because they tend to be much more politically engaged. The Dems screwed it up alllll on their own by running "centrist" policies that didn't stand up to Trump and his cronies, and completely failed to motivate voters
The lib says, currently and actively sacrificing every marginalized group at this moment
Gosh maybe that area's roads should be fundamentally redesigned and rebuilt to make it safer and more accessible
They're getting exactly what they expected
It's almost like the value of money has been totally detached from actual trade and no longer reflects economic activity
They say, also chronically online
This is a terrible idea on every level. This gives legitimacy to white supremacists and neoconfederates and enables the worst humanity had to offer.
Stop giving billionaires money. They aren't even getting us into space. Private space programs are meant to STOP US from going to space.
I suppose you're right. Just please be careful. They already have to deal with a lot of crap.
Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.
They said this about black people
If you can't listen when someone asks you to be careful, that's on you.
No you said "I haven't watched it but I get bad vibes." I have watched it. I know what it's about and I know what it means to people. You're the one making a snap judgement about something you haven't watched, and someone is asking you to be careful about that.
There's an active outside campaign to harass people in the community and those who are involved in the production of the show, while it's become a space for a lot of LGBTQ+ people. Rumors and judginess only make it worse. I'm not asking you to jump in feet first, just don't make it worse
Please do not shit talk it without actually watching it? The HHHB community deals with a TON of homophobia and transphobia from outside sources. If you haven't watched it for yourself, they don't need to deal with more crap.
The difference is that Dubya didn't have everything in place yet to stage a self coup. Trump does.
Smiling friends is amazing. It's a work of art.
Can we not, please?
That's fair.
Dems: "hey guys, we know you've been loving our winning strategy, we know you love white nepo babies, and we sure know you love the Clintons. The Left is killing our chances and you wouldnt want anyone that stands for those principles, money please! Oh and if you dont like it, you'll end Democracy."
Unfortunately she is qualified. But that doesn't mean she should be in government. She's only qualified because her parents are, of course, the Clintons, and that alone disqualifies her.
Absolutely not. We are NOT going to tolerate an aristocracy.
Okay but who cares? Rotary phones went out of date decades before the internet became commonplace.
With the terminally online right still in full 'do you even lift bro?' mode, it bears stressing that this meme is 100% accurate.
Your view is wrong.
I'm searching for nautical nonsense.
I should do a show where I get stoned and read the news as a joke
Yes very good
Do people still believe this? I thought that we were over this stupid idiom.
Maybe he should be actually doing something then
It’s another narcissist yelling because he isn’t top narcissist and he’d really like to be
It's hard knowing who your friends are. Even the sympathetic can cause a lot of damage without understanding how. It's worse when there's not much you can do to materially help.
What if we don't anchor it to the ground at all just leave it dangling in the atmosphere? Like a giant fishing hook. You dock with it and then it retracts
It would have just been a different kind of stupid fascism
It's got the DNC, which has no candidates, all up in arms about the fact that people don't like Newsome, and now we have to deal with their bootlickers and bots.
No I totally understand! Sorry for not being clearer.
Yep! Most housing developments are government or even community initiatives, not private enterprises.
I know, I'm mocking HOA types and NIMBYs
If Biden had been reelected, we'd be dealing with this at around the same time. He is also not doing well, and he hasn't been President since the election.
I remember Obama being criticized over this, and it forms the basis of my journey away from liberalism. They don't reverse course, they just accelerate slightly less fast. But they still are accelerating, and that's not am available threshold.
"Build more high density apartment buildings with access to amenities." NIMBYs: MY PROPERTY VALUES
The solution is the same as nearly all other problems: Stop giving rich people money
The worst explanation that keeps getting repeated is the "young support the old" argument, as if technology and organization hasn't advanced to the point that one worker can over produce to support themselves and several other people since, like, 1850
Bluesky should be okay with being Tumblr weird
I didn't even think about this lol Are there any lurkers on Twitter anymore at all?
The person who stands the most to gain from Trump's death is Greg Abbott, because a weakened federal government gives him sovereignty, and he'll have the most support from ICE and Border Patrol's expanded powers.
Bad but better without him
I knew there was something wrong when Anna admitted - on air - to being attracted to Rick Santorum
President Hilter: I'm deploying the military to take over your city by force Guy Who Just Doesn't Fucking Get It: See you in court then, bucko!
That's the real threat. The military doesn't want to be doing this. But ICE and the Metro PD's? The cop gangs in LA? They're coming at the bit to do this.
It's not new. The path we're on, it's inevitable that we'll have cities and states run by a police operated government. A literal police state, where your sheriff is your mayor.
That's why COVID was such a big deal, as is the defund the police movement. These are the bulk of America's already considerable military forces. It doesn't matter that we don't call them military, that's what they are. Conservatives know this, they've been using them for over a century like that
I know I'm just one voice saying this on Blue sky but the role of militarized police departments and agencies is really important here. Border patrol, ICE, and FBI on the federal level in particular, but every local, city, and state police department are the biggest threats
That's because the real armies are police departments and they're on Trump's side but don't have to listen to him. The governors either know this or we're in worse shape than I thought. The military has to listen to Trump but isn't necessarily on his side.
It's called a self coup and the Governors should be furious and literally up in arms about this what is wrong with our country
I try to remind myself of this with a lot of places, like India and China, as well. I'll admit a lot of my preconceptions about Native Americans is more of neighbors to one another rather than distinct people. Finding out about large scale inter tribe conflicts was a bit of a shock to me
Yes but you see drugs are allegedly involved so it's okay
I don't know who this is and frankly I'm not sure i want to
Also Newsome can't win, no matter how many memes he tweets. Not that you'll listen, the center has ignored every dissenting voice since the Tea Party and I don't think they're about to start now.
The center keeps saying "Vote for this person that is actively trying to hurt your communities, you have no choice" and now they're shocked that people are pissed at them for it. This isn't a sports game. If you won't protect people, they'll do it without you.
Occasionally a white person pretending to be BIPOC
Its always a white person hollering "This isnt a race issue"
It’s the year 2025. We’ve had only one president born after 1946. We’ve had no presidents born after 1961. Gerontocracy is a helluva drug.
My kitchen table issues include trans rights, support for Ukraine, the rights and security of immigrants (with or without documentation) and the Gaza genocide.
"Hey uh the Democrats aren't doing a very good job" "WHY ARE YOU SO DIVISIVE"
I remember some people lecturing me on celebrating Osama bin Laden's death and I was totally baffled. When it happens I'm gonna have a party
I know the Libs. This is accurate.
I'm sure you're the envy of your 5th grade debate club
The trans debate. I've come to see that thing almost as a sort of canary in the coal mine. An indicator of when a person is about to go stupid. Ana Kasparian and Cenk Ugyur started complaining about trans people around 2021, and within 2 years later they had gone full moron.
We hear this every year or so. Other countries cooperating with each other without us and it's the end of the economic world. Cry wolf, cry
This has an excuse for them to colonize the region and eschew pretense of democracy
Yeah, no surprise. He was already out of it in 2019 when he did NOTHING with his 2-yr long investigation of Trump-Russian interference. Him and Garland, both could have stopped this BS nightmare we're living but both were useless.
