Okay, I deleted the original post because people didn't check the link at all and mistook my typo of "young men" seriously. I clearly meant young women. Not sure why this isn't a bigger story, but I read this entire report today. It's gutting. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

democrats-judiciary.house.govJudiciary Democrats’ Report Details Mounting Evidence Linking Trump to Epstein’s Criminal Activities and DOJ’s Cover-Up; Specific Accounts Involving 11 Women Provide More Evidence of Potential Sex Cri...Washington, D.C. (October 26, 2026)—Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, released a sweeping new Committee staff report, “‘We Have Certain Things in Common, Jeffr...

AN IRRATIONAL FEAR I HAVE IS THAT SOMEONE WILL ASK ME TO ADD AN ARTIST I HATE NOT FOR THEIR MUSIC BUT JUST AS A PERSON TO THE LIST AND I'LL HAVE TO TRY AND SAY NOT NEEDLESSLY UNKIND THINGS ABOUT THEM FOR 3 DAYS AS I SLOG THROUGH A SHITLOAD OF DECIDEDLY MID ALT-EDM OR SOME OTHER FAKE LABEL.

THE ULTIMATE ENDPOINT OF THAT NIGHTMARE IS THEY'LL FIND OUT AND THANK ME FOR MY EFFORTS AND I'LL HAVE TO PLAY IT OFF COOL LIKE THEY DIDN'T INSIST THEY COULD "DEMOLISH MY MISGUIDED THEISM" IN AN IRC CHAT IN 2011.

THIS ISN'T A SUBTWEET AND IT HAS NO BASIS IN REALITY. JUST A DUMB INTRUSIVE THOUGHT, THAT I HAVE GONE OUT OF MY WAY TO FICTIONALIZE.

LIKE IT'LL TURN OUT SOME GUY THAT I WAS ALWAYS SUPER PISSED OFF AT ON SOME FORUM LONG AGO STARTED MAKING EDM POST-POPCORE IN THEIR SPARE TIME AND SOMEONE WILL BE LIKE "HEY CHECK OUT FUCK YOU SPACE MONKEY'S BANDCAMP" AND I'LL BE LIKE AW SHIT.

I STILL THINK ABOUT THE GUY WHO WROTE A WHOLE-ASS ARTICLE ABOUT HOW HE CREATED AN AI AGENT TO MANAGE HR, THEN IMMEDIATELY SARTED TRYING TO SEXT IT.

EVERY TIME A POST OF MINE BLOWS UP ON HERE IT'S JUST THE MOST OBVIOUS POLITICAL TAKE ANYONE HAS EVER HAD AND I FIND THAT WEIRDLY ANNOYING.

Ronald McDonald got fired because he didn't lock in and focus on burgers. He spent most of the last ads he was in running around and playing football and shit. No burger selling at all.

Youtube is desperate for me to watch/listen to shitty AI covers of video game music, is this something y'all are seeing?

IT'S INSANE TO REMEMBER THAT SHE BECAME THIS BECAUSE EVERYONE SAID "LOL SOUNDS FAKE" TO THE FAKE STORY OF HER COUSIN'S BALLS EXPANDING TO THE SIZE OF BASKEBALLS BECAUSE OF COVID VACCINE.

PEOPLE ABOVE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF RICH AND FAMOUS JUST DO SHIT.

THAT POST DID NOT DESERVE TO BLOW UP DID I END UP ON THE DISCOVER TAB OR SOMETHING.

FUN FACT IT WASN'T ORIGINALLY HER COUSIN, IT WAS HER FRIEND'S COUSIN. THE STORY JUST CHANGED. THAT'S HOW YOU CAN TELL IT'S FAKE. ASIDE FROM THE OBVIOUS FAKENESS I MEAN.

I THINK THE ADULT CONTENT MODERATION ON THIS SITE MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO HAPPY TO SLAP THE LABLE ON THINGS.

SOMETIMES I CLICK IT AND IT'S A NORMAL PICTURE OF A WOMAN WEARING A NORMAL SHIRT WITH A LOW BUT NOT IMMODEST NECKLINE. AND OTHER TIMES IT'S TRIPLE PENETRATION.

CLICKING THE SHOW CONTENT BUTTON IS A COIN TOSS BETWEEN "I DON'T SEE WHAT'S ADULT ABOUT THIS CONTENT" AND "OH YEAH OKAY THAT'S UNDENIABLY ADULT CONTENT."

Is there a work of art that was created well before the current era that you feel explains Trump and MAGA and everything better than anything contemporary? For me it’s Assassins (1990) but I’m curious if other people have one.

Hope your boss's shoe leather tastes good man. I personally will be thinking about whether or not Sidney Sweeney is republican or not on company time

Picture this: The boss walks in. Profits are down, and someone needs to go. My coworker is lost in thought, ignoring customers, daydreaming about Sidney Sweeny's politics. I'm out by the dumpster reducing boxes efficiently. Who stays and who goes, motherfucker?
