So, now that the US sent China all those F35 components, can we at least get a discount on the ones we're supposed to buy?

Lemme tell you about the angel of history being blown backwards into the future: The shackles these people have been put in are Hiatt brand, same company founded in 1780 to mass produce shackles for slaver ships.

The use of extremely online memetic aesthetics to support far-right political goals is like something out of Walter Benjamin’s nightmares.

I've never seen the issue raised at all among all the promises of no 'boots on the ground', but it seems highly unlikely that no American or Israeli special forces are operating within Iran.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

All the grateful dead trash clogging my feed this week has me wondering if a country that foists such dreadful slop on the world might not deserve its current tribulations.

I’ve just been informed that not permitting scientific misinformation on my feed, including claims that SARS-CoV-2 is airborne HIV, is “tone policing”. It’s actually fact-checking. I don’t give a shit who is posting misinformation or why. Zero tolerance.

I just wish he'd been crushed by a giant hunk of frozen waste accidentally dropped by a 747 or something similarly morally uncomplicated instead, because while people should not be murdered for being debased sociopathic ghouls, the world does become a better place when they cease to exist.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

I've always loved the air show and enjoy fighters flying over my hood. Now that America is no longer a friend nor an ally, however, the USAF F35s currently roaring above us should never have been invited.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

Saw the trailer for the new Superman movie. Perhaps it has a worthy message in this day and age, but as a film? I can't imagine much more tedious than sitting through such sterile, soulless digital slop.
