Insane that Bricks and Minifigs dont actually understand that the longer this controversy continues, the more certain it is that this business is dead. Who would buy anything from these people?

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

in an economy where ordinary people and their consumption increasingly doesnt matter, it will be interesting to see the european sport model disappear completely because the only consumers of sports that matter are the rich... look at the nba if you need a clue...

Could it be that slogans like stronger together are failing because people correctly identify the 19th century nature of today's world, where strength is pretty much universally opposed to those struggling, and therefore this slogan rings hollow because this strength is ultimately not with us?

The thing about takes like Iliza Shlesinger's that "if youre an incel thats nature's way of telling you you should disappear is great fun, but isnt then domestic violence nature's way of saying women deserve to recurringly fall down the stairs? Or that people with disabilities deserve to suffer/die?

For all the problems with the current chinese government, it doesnt take a genius to compare a country that takes half a billion people out of poverty with a country that throws more and more people into poverty, and know who is an opponent of working people and who is not.

Do other people feel the urge to ask brexiteers if by now they feel in control and like they got their country back? Nevermind, they wouldnt be able to answer in between worrying they wont afford fuel next winter and knowing that if they go to the hospital they may not have a nurse.

@theonion.com we desperately need news that DOGE is implementing new courses to add to the productivity of the US civil service, contracting Andrew Tate's Husslers University to improve productivity and drive in public servants, both getting pussy and getting the job done.

I feel like the people who came to bluesky to "escape negativity" are the same brunch bunch that basically was very upset at having trump in the news from 2016 to 2020 but then was fine with biden not roling back any of the policies trump enacted and went back to brunch. They just want less noise.

Just to make sure my dumb eurobrain can grasp this complicated development, trumps plan is to rug pull the population of the country with the most guns in the world, where movies have been showing how violence solves any problem for the last 60 years, right? Thats gonna end well.

Living these days is all about little consolations, and to know deep in my heart that MacArthur is turning in his grave knowing he failed at being the American Caesar where Donald Trump is now succeeding is certainly one of those little consolations.

We have come to a point where it doesn't matter if the richest man on earth is a Nazi, a vocal proponent of the great replacement theory, a literal reactionary pining for the old days of apartheid. Apparently, Hitler's problem was not being a Nazi. it was being too poor to be a Nazi...

I keep reading articles about the EU having to choose between being a satrapy of the US or moving forward to steer its own course. 1st. Satrapies are not satrapies by choice. 2nd. Comparing the american government, a permawarmongering regime for almost a century, with achemaenid persia, is crazy

It is honestly dismaying that the US used Ukraine to rot out Russia's economy but now that Russia has real incentives for peace because their economy cant take it anymore, the US is like 'alright then, time to break ukraine up and take some rare earth contracts'

If the democrats were serious, they would create a task force now to tally all that Trump is doing, so they could have a run of executive orders of their own in 4 years. They wont do it. They will let the Overton window go further to the right.

The USA has done so many coups over the last few decades, people are so used to this being a possibility elsewhere, that it now dominates discourse. Trump already won the election. People are saying he is doing a coup because Elon went to USAID - what do you mean coup? they are already in power!

You are up to date.
