Punching Up

Imagine being this boldly ignorant, this inconceivably bigoted, this utterly *vapid*... and thinking you're hot shit. Jesus fuck, what a waste of road kill.

Enjoying listening to Firewater's _Hey Clown_ tonight. Loudly. Perhaps more than once. Can't imagine why.

Televising an execution is Taliban shit.

Funny, I think billionaires should 'accept some bad things happening' for the benefit of humanity. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Pretty sure if someone were to 'joke' about Iran taking out a particular national leader, the Secret Service would be kicking in their door. But a city? Pshaw. It's just locker room talk. Traitor.

I don't mind that he keeps falling asleep. What bothers me is that he keeps waking up.

I want every Trump golf course ripped up, and reverted to a natural public park. I want every Trump-built building razed to the ground. I want every Trump asset seized and used to fund assistance for the poor. I want his legacy ERASED. He deserves only to be a warning to others. Nothing more.

This is the master key to deciphering contemporary debates about free speech. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/se...

To be fair, from Trump’s perspective a brain damaged Pekingese puppy is a superior intelligence. But yes, this is just another case of him needing to lick all the cupcakes to mark them as his because he’s an insecure toddler. Pathetic.

This is a good one.

May these fuckers contract horrible diseases while treatment is withheld.

Yelling that your industry needs to be slowed down after pulling into the lead position is just a convenient way to freeze your competition. No one has to be given permission to just… stop. They race forward because they choose to.

The most expensive part of a post-Trump reform looks like it's going to be the diesel to run the bulldozers.

All of this. 👇

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

"Give me what I want now, and you'll get your reward after you can't change your mind" is both the GOP's current SOP, and the sales pitch of evangelicals. Grifters gonna grift. Every time.

Death panels for *FREE*? SOCIALISM! Death panels for *PROFIT*? Ahhhhhh, 'Murica. Guillotines are the moderate choice here.

Long lines for voting is not a bragging point, it is a third world country symptom. It does not prove your will to vote, only that you have the leisure of doing so. Vote by mail is secure, convenient, and allows time for deliberation. All reasons the GOP want to kill it. Fuck Trump and the GOP.

Truly some helpful tips here.

Holy shiiiiiiit if you know anyone in North Carolina who may even know anyone who knows anyone who's been to an event by these people, get them to go get the rabies post-exposure prophylaxis shots RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, DO NOT WAIT, YOU CANNOT TREAT IT AFTER SYMPTOMS START

The near-mystical belief that if you phrase your prompt *just right* then you will absolutely get the truth out of a generative AI system is frighteningly aligned with the sovcit belief that getting the magic incantations of law-speak correct will inevitably give you the desired outcome.

Saw a post from someone who works at harborview medical center who said 3-5 of their 30 beds are usually lime scooter injuries and they call it lime disease

"SPuhAAAAAAACE!" is a running joke in our family, because it is just so damned brilliant in execution. Not in spite of his trying not to lose it laughing, but because he knew to lean in and work it into the bit. Thanks for every bit of life and love of life you brought to us, Mr. Curry.

Hear me out: The John F. Kennedy and Dolly Parton Memorial Center for the Performing Arts

The brain rot is complete.

We goddamned told you... The anti-abortionist end goal is complete control of reproduction. Who can, who *CAN'T*, and who *MUST* have children. Arm in arm with 'replacement doctrine', it's eugenics and white supremacy in clinical garb. 19thnews.org/2026/08/surr...

Would love to see him utterly wrecked by BBC. That, too.

Funded! In under 24 hours! I'll post an update soon and get into some stretch goals. Thank you everyone who backed and shared this project! <3

Same in NY. Same in Seattle. Big noise about leaving en masse… didn’t happen. Starting to think that the 1% are primarily bullshitters with very little actual follow through. Go ahead, hold your breath until you turn blue. We’ll wait.

Let me know when my subsidizing executive tax breaks lets me use their yacht.

"Clergy exemption" is "qualified immunity" under another name. If doing your job requires criminal acts, you are a criminal and need to be treated as such. boingboing.net/2026/08/02/a...

Well this looks intriguing. shieldfont.org

CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)

The thing that kills me is that so many people believe that corporate tax rates are on revenue, not profit. No, you soft-brained darlings, that's your *income* tax you're thinking of. Corps only get taxed *AFTER* all of the expenses are paid, and self-investment is an expense. See the difference?

Well obviously the Trump Family interprets terminology through the mafioso lens. It's their native language.

It's not a lefty bubble... it's just bubbles. Apparently it's shocking to conservatives that people are allowed to form communities on their own, instead of being shoved into a conformist 'norm'. They do love forcing themselves on others. Ability to block and curate is the entire reason I'm here.

If Rocky and Bullwinkle is remade, Jennifer Coolidge could step in for the late June Foray as the voice of Rocky. I apologize for being so late to this realization.

Evangelicals haven’t a damned clue what is in the Bible. Nor do they care.

This is just to say I have OCRed the text thet was in tne arch:ve and whicb yov were prabaldy seamhing for "breahtast" Fargme ms fheg mem debo:w5 sb ?mccf mmb 5c oc1b

Saw this happen in a factory in China in the 90s. Concern over worker health: "they can find another job". Point out that the new fangled computerized mill couldn't handle the heat and humidity or subzero: heat and AC installed immediately. Back when China was THE human rights abuser, of course.

Because we're not yet stupid enough as a nation.

Canada should counter with tariffs and lawsuits against US based groups who push climate change denial, oil pipelines, and other damage that affects them up north. Make it hurt.

I just heard someone call Trump’s speech The Pettysburg address and now I have to go lie down 🤣🤣💀

Print the transcript with released documents and slap an “If I Did It” cover on it.
