Daddy Topps

I keep seeing these new Kalshi ads that make me think it might actually be dystopian satire.

Finally getting around to reading Milton Friedman, and man is it embarrassing that people took that moron seriously.

The main problem with current American politics is that we have one party that thinks imperialism is fine as long as the people doing it are diverse, while the other party thinks pedophilia is fine as long as the people doing it aren't.

The GOP and Dems aren't playing "Good Cop / Bad Cop" with the American people. They are playing "Bad Cop / Incompetent Dad in an Informercial Cop" with the American people.

There's no place in the modern Democratic party for James Carville. He's too old, too rightwing, and too comfortable with authoritarianism for current US politics.

How are we supposed to tell if the explosive diarrhea is from tainted lettuce or just the normal kind Taco Bell gives you?

Sometimes I think about how much Dick Wolf normalized and justified America's slide into an authoritarian police state, and how the average American would think that I'm crazy for that.

The "Conquest of bread" is what I call my midnight snack.

The only war America has won in my lifetime is the war on unions.

Curacao is now officially as good at soccer as Brazil.

Every June it's important to remind people that Pride is for everyone except those with a humiliation fetish.

Neither side wins in war, but we've deluded ourselves into believing that the side that loses less is the winner.

Why aren't more people talking about how Catholics believe that Jesus was made of bread and had wine for blood?

Can we stop pretending that a akward waddle away counts as "storming off"?

It feels like leftists have been tempering their criticisms of Mayor Bass in fear she'd be the lesser evil in October. Now that she isn't the gloves should come off.

Republicans only think of the children when they are masterbating.

So the guy with the Nazi tattoo is pretty clearly going to be the next Fetterman.

American politics is largely about getting the left and right to attack each other so that we don't notice the top attacking the bottom.

How much money did we just spend losing a war to Iran?

trump diddles while America burns.

Did the senile old man just forget which religion he's pretending to believe in?

I've been thinking about lot about how the same kind of people who spent decades trying to build perpetual motion machines and get engines to run on water are now fully convinced that the actual free energy provided by solar, wind, and hydro power are secretly hoaxes.

Reading "The mists of Avalon" for the first time. I want to ask why no one ever told me how good it was, but people have been telling me for decades. I guess the question is why I never believed them.

While I get that trump is a piece of shit and was way out of line. Can we stop lionizing Mueller? He was the head of an FBI that did lots of illegal and unethical stuff to the American people.

People have brought up the idea of using GPS to limit cars to the speed limit of the road they are on, which many oppose aa they don't want to hand control of their vehicle over to third parties. But what about a system that is only installed as punishment for reckless driving?

"It is often said that history repeats. What is not said is that the first time is as tragedy, the second is as a farce" - Karl Marx

Bing Crosby was the Jake the Snake Roberts of the music world.

It's wild watching trump do whatever the fuck he wants while liberals stomp there feet and point out that he isn't allowed to do that. Then they turn around and pretend we can end this all at the voting booth since he isn't allowed to rig the elections. I recommend reading some Malcolm X speeches.

It's fun watching mainstream liberals get on Bluesky and interact with actual leftists for the first time. They quite literally have no idea what's happening in these conversations.

Just learned that Tuk-tuk is an onomatopoeia. Now I want a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang sequel set in Thailand.

Christianity teaches you to love your neighbor as thyself, while it also teaches you to hate yourself for being a sinner. This is why the far right is so batshit.

Scientists have just discovered what they believe to be the world's oldest pickup line. It was "Damm girl, your Olduvai gorgeous."

Something we all need to keep in mind if we are still one country when this is all over. No country where things were going well has ever turned to fascism or communism. Those two ideologies are a populist response to a failed system. Any advocating for a return to that failed system is insane.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Omar squaring up to her attacker and then finishing her speech is as close to a Teddy Roosevelt moment as we're going to get in the modern era.

I think Bluesky has a mascot.

When people claim there is no place for violence in the US in response to two soldiers being shot while passively threatening violence on a city, what they are actually saying is that fighting back is unacceptable.

Have you ever watched a dominatrix shock a gimp's balls and thought, "Benjamin Franklin would have loved this"?

They told me to get a degree so I could get a good job, but it turns out that a degree just gets you access to the bad jobs that pay slightly more.

When i talk about how the Democrats always seem to have the exact number of defecters needed to screw the country when the chips are down, this is what I mean. The Democrats will always let you down for the very same reason the Washington Admirals always choke in the 4th quarter.

People think serial killers must be very smart to get away with it for so long. But the average serial killer has an IQ of 95. They just seem smart in comparison to the cops trying to catch them.

Chess is coming back to Broadway, which is cool but also feels really awkward in the current political climate. Particularly at the same time as Caberet closes. On the other hand, it is about as Caberet as Broadway can get.

Charlie Kirk was not a smart person, he was not funny or charming, he was not good at debates. His entire fame and success was built on his one talent, saying incredibly racist things without accidentally using the n-word. That one talent is what the GOP wants to make a national holiday.

We've gotten to the point in history where the terminaly online are teaching lessons on meme history and how to interpret them in order for the normals to understand current events. We are fucked.

If someone traveled back in time to kill a future tyrant before he rose to power, that would probably look like some random propagandist getting assassinated to his contemporaries.

People condemning political violence right now are ignoring the fact that political violence has always been a part of America and only becomes newsworthy on the rare occasion that it targets someone that actually deserves it.

Charlie Kirk died as he lived, Spreading hate filled lies about minorities in an attempt to incite terrorist attacks. Dude was a massive piece of shit and the world is slightly less evil now.

You know what they say about members of the Hivemind. If you've met one of them, you've met them all.
