Amateur Expert Opinions

Every DOGE deposition is the guy in your college class that made everyone else groan whenever he started talking.

jesus, yeah, 💯

Trump really can't resist Fucking With The Money bc that's the ultimate king flex: ending the penny (poor!); removing the olive branch of peace from the national seal. his only real idea of a "legacy" is putting his own portrait on the $100 bill -- just watch & see!

for years I've cynically joked that US currency should bear the motto "got mine, fuck you" instead of "in God we trust" but the Trump 2 regime might be the ones to actually earnestly do it

i keep saying: usurped! by fascists!

On today’s episode of Cartoonishly Overt Sign We’re the Baddies: they’re taking the olive branch off the dime because it presents peace

On some level I’m not sure my mind can quite grasp the raw stupidity of conducting a massive decapitation strike against Iran with no day two plan whatsoever, and then immediately finding yourself in a worldwide energy crisis with no off-ramp because you didn’t expect Iran to react

Not so sure this is true, the idea that we can actually take in more money by pairing tax hikes on the super-rich with tax cuts for everyone else is imho pretty deeply rooted in the median voter imagination. The problem is that a) it's wrong and b) Rs will just say they'll cut taxes more

I don't think the consultants advising Democrats realize that Libby Normielib is really fucking tired of this shit.

another shady as hell “he mysteriously had a seizure and ICE disclosed nothing” case today - Huabing Xie of China, who died in California last September, in a for-profit facility that apparently hadn’t been able to fill their medical director position and which no county officials ever inspected

real "keep your fucking mouth shut forever, stupid" hours 🥴🤐

some wild shit starts to make sense if you start with the question: does this person hate Jews?

I’m really not a fan of “where are the student protesters?” discourse. You probably don’t see as much because university administrators, law-enforcement at all levels, many state govts, and the current federal govt have made it very clear that speech on a college campus is effectively criminalized

if you have the nerve to bring up Black Panthers or socialism in an urban high school the best you will get is a stern writeup for "derailing" the prescribed lesson plans

crazy how often we research cops (generally tac/swat) or ice/cbp guys and they show up on mma stat pages.

it's a total horror that the only political education Americans are legally allowed (mandated) in high school is a single semester of Econ 101 plus a light dollop of horseshoe theory on the side

The median voter is not a centrist but actually just holds a bunch of mutually contradictory, meaningless opinions.

Thomas & Percy are crying from the heat & corroding from sand but the Foreman keeps whipping them on an endless back & forth death-march, for god & country

OK, I don’t have photoshop, but imagine Thomas the tank engine and all his friends hauling oil through the deserts of Oman and the UAE.

You turn 25, your prefrontal cortex finishes developing, and you lose the ability to cum without the aid of any kinks

the recent & similar Life On Earth doc series was just as fascinating but did a very poor job differentiating when we're looking at extinct species recreated via cgi artistry vs real footage of living ones that share features with their ancient cousins

I watched the Netflix dinosaur documentary and while visually, it’s incredible, there’s something I really miss about old Dino documentaries.

You know what that is?

Interviews with paleontologists who explain the dinosaur we are seeing on screen—and why we know what we know about it.

completely incompatible with any modern notion of human rights

Media & police commonly report that “speed wasn’t a factor in a crash.” What they mean is the driver wasn’t technically breaking the speed limit, or at least not too much.

But speed is ALWAYS a factor, in how much distance is needed to stop, how well crash victims can be seen, and whether they die.

If you support:

Staunchly speaking up for and advancing protections for LGBTQIA2S+ rights ✅

Cancelling student debt ✅

Raising the minimum wage ✅

Then you should vote for Mike Simmons for Congress in IL-09!

Tamerlane Tsarnaev being deeply involved in MMA culture as he was radicalized into plotting a bombing on behalf of a homeland where he'd never lived is just one of those funny coincidences

it's kinda like the NFL or WWE, but even more shady & brutal, from what i've gleaned

anyone got a good longform survey about how UFC has always been a fascist feeder op. i assume several such articles already exist.
