Thank you; I made the alex jones connection right after I commented. Feels like it also works as a grim joke at the usa's expense!

Yeah, I find people's emotional investment in sports to be very strange. Not just professional sports, but the Olympics. Like, who the hell cares who can throw a ball the farthest, or jump the highest? What does that do for anyone? How is that useful, or helpful, or valuable in any way?

It's just stupid on every level that anyone gives a damn about trans people in sports. Obviously it's manufactured culture war bullshit, but the fact that it's had any kind of staying power is infuriating.

As someone who voted for her, I'm completely on board with never seeing her or hearing from her again. She utterly failed — lost a (mostly*) free and fair election to a demented fascist idiot who's destroying the country. Enough of the responsibility for our current situation rests on her shoulders that she can fuck right off forever, along with Biden, the Bushes, the Clintons, Mitch McConnell, Joe Lieberman, Newt Gingrich and all the other neocons, neolibs, and corrupt, amoral, greedy, misanthropic assholes that got us here.

She might survive as a politician if she took responsibility for the loss, and pushed for change in the Democratic party. Hopefully, she'll do that, and not follow Clinton's example. Seems unlikely.

  • There was probably some amount of fuckery, but if the margins were as wide as they should have been, they couldn't have pulled it off.

I'm unfamiliar with this medal, but can only assume it's intended to commemorate the US losing the information war. Seems a bit macabre.

This is a fucking ad.

People are saying it. Many great people.

The headline is a little ambiguous, but he didn't give in; they relaxed the dress code.

I can see how it's easier to fuck someone than to actively listen and (at least pretend to) empathize with them. It's easier to go without the former than the latter, as well.

Social media, as it currently exists, is a net negative. We'd all be better off without it.

If the last person who talked to him was Stephen Miller, it probably is. To paraphrase George Burns, putting an idea into his head is like putting a basketball into a thimble.

Literally nobody is saying this. You're full of shit.

Every single article about "gen x" this or "gen z" that is 100% bullshit. Stop reposting this garbage.
