Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

Trump: "What's happened is the press has ganged up on a woman making a horrible statement about her daughter, and I don't why she should be shielded. She said she was a dirty liar ... I say she's fair game."

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

no one over 40 is gonna buy this because you can't play a bluray in it and no one under 40 will buy it because its going to cost $1200

PlayStation 6’s memory costs alone exceed $680 per console, it’s claimed, potentially suggesting an unprecedented price tag for the next-gen machine. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/playsta...

Two countries suffered higher per-capita casualties than the US in Afghanistan and though they weren't attacked on 9/11 they answered an ally's call for help. But now this pathetic drunkard is slandering their sacrifice and loyalty, and one of the countries is routinely threatened with US invasion.

It honestly shocks me to report that the Foundation season 2 finale kinda stuck the landing. As much as you can stick the landing of falling down seven flights of stairs...

I recently started trying to keep plants alive and I didn't realize that eventually I'd have to punish the plants by hacking off the parts that were growing too well. What kind of sick hobby is this

really something to see tech YouTuber types calmly discussing the latest Tesla or SpaceX business news without once mentioning Elon’s 50 Day of the Rope posts per day or his murdering 700,000+ people

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

I don't need politicians to be superhuman geniuses or even 100 percent moral creatures but I do need them to a) not fall for the wallet inspector trick and b) demonstrate some level of commitment to principles of some kind

As unpopular as the Iran war is, the coverage still doesn't do justice to the fact that they just could have not done any of this. There was literally no reason beyond general bloodthirstiness and incompetence.

Der Bard reposted

More Americans have been killed in the Iran war Trump started than in the Afghan withdrawal Biden was handed and completed. The implications for America’s geopolitical situation is much worse with attacking Iran than leaving Afghanistan. But going by tone of coverage, one would think the opposite.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

NEWS: My kids asked to do Fuse Beads before bed. I said yes. I got to the table to find that they opened the container from the bottom, instead of the top. I am despondent.

Before sports betting was legalized everywhere, I was neutral about it, thinking that it was a personal choice. Now that it exists everywhere I have been radicalized against it like a 19th century suffragette

"Stop criticizing us or will keep murdering people" is just a jaw-dropping thing for a government official to say.

No amount of anything will make these idiots realize Donald Trump has nothing but dripping contempt for the morons who voted for him.

I had seen comments referencing it, but hadn't seen the quote yet. This is significantly more disgusting than I had assumed. I did not imagine that he just straightforwardly described rape in the context of "here's an example of something I do and think is appropriate".

An unfathomable clean air act violation. I worked in this exact field for years, including in oil and gas, and i still can't get over how wanton and obvious this crime is. Just stunning

Elon Musk's xAI has installed more than double the number of gas turbines than it has publicly acknowledged to power its Colossus 2 data center project, without federal permits, and the pollution is hitting predominantly Black neighborhoods the hardest reut.rs/4bIghEm

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
