ultimately it's shit like this that makes the decline of birth rates and resulting demographic skewing towards old people self-reinforcing. Greedy, wealthy retired people voting to destroy the funding for public services they relied on throughout their life now that they no longer need them

Lucille Ball is the Godmother of #StarTrek. As head of Desilu Studios, she overrode her own board of directors to finance the show & convinced network executives to greenlight a second pilot after the first one failed. That second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before," first aired #OTD in 1966. 🖖

If you're uncertain whether the universe is nothing but random chaos, devoid of any sense of good, bad, justice, evil, up, or down - Ted Nugent is still alive and Dolly Parton is not. Thanks for enjoying arbys

Trump takes a break from fear-mongering about communism to brag about seizing the means of production: "We had a problem with Intel. And we settled the problem. They gave us 10% of the company. That was worth $12 billion."

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

This is the draw of MAGA. A lot of really terrible people who felt chained by the expectations of decency just rolling in shit and enjoying the hell out of it.

he is not being covered as if he is a terminally unpopular lame duck because the media sees him attempting a coup and attempting to rig elections and think it would be more fun to help him do that than it would be to help stop him

It's weird to me how trump never lets go of a grudge, he still bitches about Obama, Biden, Hillary, and even Rosie O'Donnell for some reason. He never says a word about any of the people who supposedly tried to assassinate him. Nothing. Weird.
