Yeah monetization is I increasingly think the original sin behind a lot of what ails the internet today. Eyeballs are what get you money, and a glazed over eyeball counts the same as an active and informed eyeball. Over time the tendency is always towards engagement bait.
You’re allowed to go mad in March. It’s a whole thing.
legally they won’t be able to call it March Madness much longer, due to the continuous rise of all the Every Single Day Madness
Black hat with brim with white text embroidered on it saying "Ever since i was a small child i knew i wanted to be indoors on the computer"
Greenland’s like “soooo… we off the hook or what?”
We are all numb to it, but it is remarkable how little noise 95% of Democrats are making about this war. All we hear is fears that they could put troops on the ground and that they don't have a clear plan. It's all future tense about how things could go wrong, not opposing the war as it exists now.
looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles
can this be a solution?
"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids."
That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.
im just really fucking sick of spending my entire adult life lurching from one worldwide economic disaster to another all because people pretend republicans arent dumb as dog shit morons completely detached from reality
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”
international women’s day
if there are no mines and their navy is gone, surely the defense secretary himself could ride shotgun on one of those tankers
guy who's only ever seen DS9: it's giving Rom mining the Gamma Quadrant wormhole
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
The big orange guy from Fantastic 4?
The hand dude from t'Addam's fam?
The John Carpenter Arctic beast?
Meatloaf would do ANY of them for love
It never ceases to amaze me how much fucking stupider our techno-dystopia is than ANY sci-fi movie ever predicted.
I use this line a lot. It is so important people understand that the entire ethos of fascism is to lie.
It is all lies, from top to bottom. They are not proud, strong, intelligent, in control, successful, patriotic... they are none of those things. They are simply liars.
The case against the dystopian scenario of AI-fueled inequality says that the government will step in to prevent the worst economic outcomes. The people making that case are, themselves, working as hard as possible to prevent the government from doing so.

These GOP bubblegum tough guys are really brave when other people's kids die thousand of miles away from them. Meanwhile, they're literally afraid to be in the downtown of any major city after 5PM.
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change
The right will go to war and fundamentally change the nature of every person's relationship to the state just to hurt 300 people
I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.
We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.
In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.
