ANTIQUES ROADSHOW 2304 APPRAISER: Well, what you have here is a 2027 Fascism Dime. They only minted these from 2026 until early 2029. They are quite rare as the hyperinflation in 2029 that followed the Nuclear Shock led most coinage to be redeemed for ration coupons in order to recover the metal.

New White House line: actually high gas prices are good for America*.

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

When the president discards the Constitution to rule as a dictator, and Congress allows him to do so, the Constitution of 1787 has ceased to exist. That is where we are now. Any new settlement, whether allowing the president to be a dictator or not, will by definition be post-constitutional.

If any court pretends that either the Constitution of 1787 still exists or that the Trump dictatorship is constitutional, erase that court by legislative action. Including the Supreme Court, which Congress has the power to do.

i’d go so far as to say bernie’s and warren’s proposals aren’t harsh enough. just take anything at or above a billion

don’t care about the revenue. light it on fire for all i care. it’s erasing political power and putting people in their place that matters

Gas jumped 23 cents while I was getting a burrito, if you’re wondering how aggressive the repricing is getting.

I think it should be spring ahead, fall ahead. Just keep moving the clocks forward. Fuck your circadian rhythm, I want simplicity.

"I don't want to have to explain to my kids what gay people are" is ridiculous. You have to explain everything to them! They've never seen anything before! What else are you doing this about? You don't like broccoli so you just refuse to ever let your child know about what broccoli is? Okay man

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

This is both true and wrong. β€œRepublic” is from the Latin for rule by the people (res + publicus). β€œDemocracy” is from the Greek for rule by the people (demos + kratos). They’re the same word. They’ve had shifting, different connotations in English, but they’re the same word.

Au contraire: this is TERRIFYING. It means someone in Iran is waking up a sleeper network. I wonder why? (That was a rhetorical question: the obvious answer is "revenge", probably planned some time after 1988 (the US shoot-down of Iran Air flight 655).
