One hippopotamus, coming up!!

Now impeach Agent Orange, and actually convict and sentence this time please.

We’ve seen Democrats just piss their time in power away plenty of times. Last night’s results are promising, but damn it’s hard to be actually optimistic.

bad … GOP

We heard you the first time.

It drives me fucking nuts that so much of the hate directed at trans people is driven by sports. Sports! It’s a FUCKING GAME! It’s like saying people with hair shorter than 2 inches shouldn’t be allowed to play Minecraft. You could even argue that short hair gives them an advantage by not obstructing their eyes or some shit: and even taking that (bullshit) argument at face value IT’S STILL A FUCKING GAME!

Human rights > games

Why is this such a controversial take??

Like, their other boogeyman arguments are just as bullshit, but at least those take the effort to poke at something that sounds important like keeping perverts out of restrooms… I mean, until you fire off the six or so neurons it takes to see past that bullshit veneer and realize it’s another example of ‘the cruelty is the point’ and there’s not some horde of trans people staking out public restrooms to go rape that little school girl from the hate ads… but the folks who are too stupid to question those hate ads, I can at least see that they’re being manipulated by being tricked into thinking they’re helping the girl from the hate ads.

But like… “tRanS pEoPLe cAn tHroW a bAll a litTlE biT fURthEr!!” THAT’S NOT A FUCKIN REASON TO TAKE THEIR RIGHTS AWAY! None of that shit is a fuckin reason to take their rights away. …but god damn, the sports thing is the most knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, neanderthal-fucking, stupid argument I’ve ever heard.

Fuck you, Turek.

…either that or just fucking end it already. This neverending tease is exhausting.

Symptoms can still be treated in the presence of larger systemic issues. In fact, he looks like he could use a lead supplement pretty urgently.

“We’ll cross that water when it’s under the bridge.”

That is by far the laziest take on any variation on that saying I’ve heard so far. 10/10, fuckin’ love it. Just a straight up “we’ll do nothing until the problem comes to us”.

Adding this one to the noggin file.

I’m here to kick ass and take names, and I’m all out of ass!

*clicks pen*

Names, please…

Light a man a fire and you warm him for a night. Set a man on fire and you warm him for the rest of his life!

Someone who lives on a ship should sink the white house.

*checks ocean temps and pH…*

* to be clear, not calling anyone here stupid, I just saw “magic 8 ball” and immediately thought of this meme

If they’re saying that sincerely, I’d call them friends, not food.

Infact, seeing that “…oh!” moment when the lightbulb finally turns on is a thing of absolute beauty. It’s not easy to shake off decades of propaganda.

I had the same realization after posting, but left it as is cuz it’s still not the AI driving the push for efficiency, it’s the bullshit firings. AI is being used as a scapegoat - it’s the malicious management that’s culpable.

Murican here. We aren’t even our own ally. Any country that considers us an ally is looking through rose-tinted goggles at what we could be, and clinging to that fantasy while ignoring what we are.

We need to get our shit together and actually keep it that way for at least a few decades before I’d expect any measure of trust from the global community.

Until then, yeah I wouldn’t sign any agreements with the US that extend past a presidential administration cuz as soon as a relatively good one leaves, we’re liable to put another hue-shifted Hitler in power.

In the US you can look up people’s voter registration and see which party they’re registered with. Not sure if this is every state or just some, but it’s at least been the case in all the sates I’ve lived in. I’ve never seen one that actually displays your ballot selections though, just the registration status, but that could be a thing if there’s a state that allows it.

South Korea’s president urged to play Call of Duty as war wake-up call

CoD? Ladies and gentlemen we’ve got bigger fish to fry! I urgently request that you play Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3. We are wasting valuable time to prepare for the Covenant invasion, and worse, popcorn zombies!!

* unfortunately the franchise abruptly ceases after the third installment, so don’t bother seeking additional warning material.
