whether or not i "hate the voters" is irrelevant. what matters is that They hate Me, & despite this still they must be freed of all immiseration to live better happier lives, and they will hate us every step of the way for daring to do that, and it will be a thankless task, and still a necessary one

my permanent retainer broke and i’d love to be able to stop having a wire poke at my tongue and maybe get it fixed so my bite doesn’t go weird

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

The United States might have the only presidential system on Earth where the president doesn't have the authority to issue a budget unilaterally when the legislature fails to do so. Honestly the entire constitutional order of the US is wild, in a really bad way lol

i am not here much, if at all, but if i do ever come on here it's to hear from my dear friend. it's a delight, or more appropriately, a blessing to have her in my life, and i know she's that to many others too. i ask of any of you who can, to please help her get the help she needs and deserves.

Please help Marlo. She is in the depths of hell and I want her to survive them.

Screenshot of a Facebook Marketplace listing of a decommissioned Dell Precision 7670 Enterprise laptop, which is a workstation-class machine. It shows the price of US$1000 in Colombian pesos, a portion of the description, and a photo of the machine running Windows 11 Pro.

Translation of the Facebook Marketplace listing: "Specifications of DELL Precision 7670: Intel Core i5 12600HX CPU w/ 12 Cores & 16 Threads, 32GB DDR5 RAM @ 4800MHz, RTX A3000 GPU w/ 12GB GDDR6 VRAM (similar performance to RTX 4060), 1TB M.2 SAMSUNG SSD, 16" UHD+ 3840p x 2400p TOUCHSCREEN @ 60Hz, Original 240W charger, Windows 10/11 Pro. 6-month warranty.

is this a good deal? it's unlikely i could buy it right now, but maybe i could borrow some money and slowly pay it back

(COP$3'900,000 = US$1000, down from COP$12'500.000 = US$3000 in 2022)

Most conservative shooters, at least until today, were more motivated with appearing as heroes to their peers than engaging in political action. The Charlie Kirk assasination could end the lone wolf phenomenon and push the armed right into organizing collectively, maybe as paramilitary groups.

i was about to ask "someone holds the copyright to skibidi toilet!?" as if it was an old family video of a cat in a toilet that went viral 25 years after the fact. like yeah of course someone holds the copyright to something created this decade

URGENT 🇺🇳 The clock is ticking to block Annalena Baerbock’s appointment as President of the 80th United Nations General Assembly.

A criminal like Baerbock — who blocked ceasefire efforts as Israel devastated Gaza — does not represent us.

i am curious if you can block the subscribers of a list, though. i certainly am very glad to block people back and i do wanna block all those 640 users

Screenshot of web service Clearsky, which parses the Bluesky API to see who has blocked who. Visible is the lone list where user burntarepa (me) has been blocked on, titled "Tankies and their supporters" made by derparrot.

i do have to say that it rules that blocks are public here, because now i know that i made it into a block list made by what i am sure are extremely annoying libs, literally just days ago, and i am barely active here!

WHAT DID @roomcguire.bsky.social SAY?!?!? 😱😱😱😱

this is what the "not left, not right" bullshit does to people's minds

"A computer can never be spiteful or horny Therefore a computer must never make art"

Reminder

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

Pelosi finally paid DSA back for that endorsement in the 90s.

Chuck Schumer selling us all out will be the last straw for a lot of people. And they need to be organized into organizations and into a project that will outlive the Democratic Party.

The Democrats could be doing this but aren’t

Democratic Socialists are.

Build a real opposition party. Join DSA.

It's never been more crucial to support indie media.

In order to not go economically bankrupt, so many media companies chose to go morally bankrupt instead.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Screenshot of a Tweet by Colombian President Gustavo Petro announcing retaliatory tariffs on American goods. Translation follows: "I order the Minister of Foreign Trade to raise import tariffs from the US by 25%. "The ministry must help direct our exports to the whole world other than the US. Our exports must expand. I invite all Colombian foreign communities to be marketers of our products. "North American products whose price will rise within the national economy must be replaced by national production, the government will help in this purpose."

Colombian President Gustavo Petro retaliates to Trump's imposition of tariffs by announcing a reciprocal 25% tariff on all goods incoming from the US.

He also recognized that prices of said goods will increase and has pledged to offer financial support for national industries to replace imports.

I can personally attest to being one of those Colombians that regularly drinks instant coffee. It's trash but more affordable than the actual thing because of the reason you outlined.
