These past ten years are going to be studied for centuries to come. The GOP is dragging the corse of lady liberty up to St. Basil’s as we speak, dems kicking and screaming while he calls them crazy communists. And many people inexplicably agree 🤦‍♂️

This post is unavailable.

Early voting opened today in my city. I dropped my mail-in ballot at my ward’s secure Dropbox. It doesn’t have to travel any damn where and I know it will be counted. It is ludicrous we have to do this, but I’m not playing games with these fascists.

I am so entirely tired of trying to find interesting remixes of songs and finding nothing but EQ filters, speed changes and now with more frequency AI slop that all seem to be using the same handfull of vocaloids 🤦‍♂️

This is a test, America. They want to see how we react. First it’s online. Then it’s on TV, then your local news, except that it’s some guy from your city, then a woman who works at your firm, maybe someday it’ll be you.

Christopher Cameron's @nytimes.com piece on this truly barbaric event is no longer on the front page of the paper's site. Is this how little anyone cares that we've descended to this as a nation? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/08/u...

Anyone else miss when search engines actually gave you like…actual information? I search for anything and it’s nothing but AI slop trying to sell something 💀 (And no, not even duck duck go is immune to that)

We’ve been having a LOT of (IT) system stability issues across multiple systems at my work the past couple weeks. I can’t help but think their integrating of AI into said systems might be the problem 🙄🤦‍♂️

An anecdote for those who need to hear it: A number of years ago I had two employees talking about some mysognistic shit (while listening to a Joe Rogan podcast). I told them that wasn’t acceptable and that I will not tolerate that in my department. 1/2

Fast forward a couple days and they are at it again. I told them to get the hell out. That I will not tolerate any of that under my watch. Their response? “You can’t fire us because we quit”. Point is: stand up to bullies, they are cowards 2/2

Shut up or put up, Chuck. Your days are numbered, old man, are you gonna be another footnote of failure or actually DO SOMETHING?

Trump banning CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House is an assault on the first amendment, plain and simple. Trump is so fragile, so thin-skinned, and so desperate that he can’t handle a little honest reporting. But there’s no hiding from a record as abysmal as his.

Dear republicans: Your dear leader got up in front of the UN and made an absolute mockery of the country. Iran meanwhile stood up and displayed photos of HIS WAR CRIMES. Get with the program or get the fuck out of our way. But this shit is not gonna fly for another two years.

Vote, and SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL NEWS. ICE would have buried this whole thing without independent local coverage. That and so, so much more.

America is devolving into insanity. ICE shoots a LEGAL Venezuelan Instacart driver, because they can. I don't recognize America any longer. The shit Trumpy is doing is insanity, cruelty and evil. WE ALL SUFFER WHEN OUR RESIDENTS ARE SHOT FOR NO REASON. WE MUST VOTE on 11/3 TO STOP THE INSANITY.

I just walked into my bank to make a deposit: Walk in the door, step up to the typical little island counter. No deposit slips. I look around confused before a teller informs me they had to put them behind the counter because people KEPT STEALING THEM. America…wtf 💀

Republicans: are you aware that the rest of humanity thinks you are racist mouth breathers? No? Well, we do. Maybe try fixing that before your party completely disintegrates into nothing but an offshoot of the KKK (arguably it already is…)

Jesus fucking Christ I hate this man baby and every single individual that enables him. There is not a fate worse enough for any of them that even begins to reconcile the pain, suffering and death they leave in their wake.

I just about threw up watching the pentagon memorial service. The PA guy referred to the DoD secretary as “The honorable Pete Hegseth, secretary of war” Fuck all the way off with that. Disgraceful

So…we are concerned enough about students using…metal water containers as weapons to ban them but stricter gun regulation is still off the table? Got it, Indiana…got it 🤦‍♂️ And this is why I don’t travel to your shithole state.

abc7chicago.comStudents banned from taking metal water bottles to school, district says could be used as weaponsA local school district has banned metal and stainless-steel bottles. The district says the bottles could be used as weapons.

Things my mind thinks about while I try to fall asleep: It’s really fucked up that OpenAI is luring students to its service by offering 4 months free to college students. At the same time, America’s teachers are crying out that our kids are,overall, more illiterate than they’ve ever been.

HELLO, REPUBLICANS. WAKE THE FUCK UP. DUDE IS LITERALLY WORSE THAN THE KING GEORGE WASHINGTON OVERTHREW #Impeach this disgraceful excuse of a human being

Stop. JUST. FUCKING. STOP!!! Because of course he thinks he can do whatever he wants and damn the law. He largely gets away with it. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

So when Fauci pleads the fifth for the bullshittery that the republicans are “investigsting” he gets threatened. When anyone does it in relation to the Epstein files they just shrug 😵‍💫

To #ToddBlanche who said his “heart breaks” for the Epstein survivors: Kindly go kill yourself you fucking deplorable piece of human trash. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Law enforcement makes these types of stops multiple times a day and don’t resort to shooting and killing. These ICE thugs need to go for in a jail cell I hope I am proven wrong, but I doubt we will see much, if any notable protesting about this. Prove me wrong Texas: give them hell. 😡
