It doesn’t matter if he lied. Whenever he accidentally says the correct thing, he needs to be praised. That’s how you get him to do stuff. Bernie has the right idea here. Pat this dumb motherfucker on the back and make him feel smart every time he has a broken-clock moment. That way he’ll follow through.

Oh God, who will the Credit Card companies exploit?!

Ah yes, of course, Kamala was the more conservative option in the last election. Donald Trump is also an actual populist that cares about you. You are very smart. /s

I like how you put “trump” in all-caps bold to help us better recognize that you are on TEAM RAPIST.

Also, the state that always votes blue is happy with their situation, and the state that always votes red is begging for change. You really can’t figure out how each state got into their respective positions?

Perhaps the state that wants change should try voting for someone other than a Republican every single election.

That red states are shittier than blue states. An objectively true fact.

Even other red states say this shit about redder states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_for_Mississippi

How dare you.

Now is definitely not the time to rewrite the constitution. Could you imagine what the powers that be would do to it?

the genocide would continue no matter who you vote for

A drinking fountain and a fire hydrant both dispense water.

I’m not sure this kind of humor is in particularly great taste given the absolute devastation that Palestinians are going to suffer with Trump enabling Israel to do as they please. It’s a little cheerful, no?

Genocide is actually happening right now. It’s hard to imagine anyone who actually cares about that finding this funny.

I also think that every single police department that falls for a SWATing call should be held criminally liable. Obviously, an anonymous phone call is not enough to warrant a full-on raid of a private home. Allowing that to be the standard operating procedure is negligent as it keeps the door open for SWATers.

You wanna sign the pro-Trump, pro-Fascism petition?

Yeah, my anarchocommunist cousin had to have explosive diarrhea like half a dozen times before she’d admit it was raw milk causing it.

Republicans: “No. Research is useless.”

I don’t think anyone can actually answer your question if you’re not telling us where in the USA you’re visiting. This place is enormous, and the culture isn’t homogeneous.

Yeah, until they enrage The Great Old Ones, and then we’re all fucked.

I have a 60TB media collection, so this would end up costing $600/month.

Instead, I back all my media up to LTO-6 tapes, and store them at a storage unit.

LTO-6 drive: $400 10x LTO-6 tapes (62.5TB): $200 Small off-site storage unit: $30/month

As for the vitamins and supplements, we are halting their sale immediately. Utilitarian logic dictates that if we can extend even one CEO’s life by 10 minutes, diluting these miracle elixirs for public consumption is an unethical waste. Instead, we plan to collect the entire stock of the InfoWars warehouses into a large vat and boil the contents down into a single candy bar–sized omnivitamin that one executive (I will not name names) may eat in order to increase his power and perhaps become immortal.

Ana Marie Cauce has called the situation in Gaza “horrific”, has vocally supported a ceasefire, and allowed UW students to form a pro-palestine encampment on campus, despite opposition from her colleagues.

I am doubtful that these were actual pro-Palestine protesters. “UW partners with Boeing (the largest employer in the Seattle area) and Boeing does business with Israel, therefore the president of UW is pro-Genocide” doesn’t sound like a real argument.

The goal was to attract Twitter refugees. No ads helps sell the “greener pastures” the users were looking for.

Once those users are comfortable, Threads can do whatever it wants. They know how much it took to get Twitter users to leave Twitter.

People acting like Meta launched Threads out of the kindness of Zuck’s heart are dumb as fuck. Threads has the same goal as Facebook: to make money selling your eyeballs to advertisers and your metadata to data brokers.

The frustrating part of all of this is that it is true that puberty blockers aren’t approved by the FDA for delaying puberty for gender affirming treatments, but it is used anyway as an off-label use. Criticism of off-label uses of pharmaceuticals is a perfectly valid concern to have.

But if you actually had this concern in good faith, you would be putting pressure on the FDA to investigate this use of puberty blockers directly and make a call or whether or not this is an approved use. You would be demanding that the FDA fill in the gaps in their knowledge, and only allow this use of puberty blockers if there was no harm found.

Going straight to the legislature and banning it outright is underhanded as shit. The only reason to do that is because you know that the FDA has no reason to disapprove of this use, and you want to medically oppress trans people regardless of what the science actually says.

It’s transphobic bullshit, and anyone telling you that their concern is the safety and welfare of children is lying to you, because if that were true they would act like it.
