there is not a single ruler in that world who even pretends to be anything other than dreadful

love to run a pump and dump with

*checks notes*

the most important energy commodity in the world

anyway having arguments about evangelion in the year 2026 is the most 38 year old thing we have ever done on here and I for one am delighted

my man you cannot get your own domestic political party to listen to your truth social rants half the time I do not think the country you started an unprovoked war with and bombed to hell is going to pay them much heed

it's Elon Says Thing except for the entire market instead of Tesla stock

this is a really good piece

also, the fundamental issue with the Eva shipping wars is that Shinji sucks

he's been dealt a terrible hand, his dad is an abusive piece of shit, he has reasons for sucking

but he sucks! he's not good for any of them! especially Asuka!

there is no escaping the Jets, not even with Garrett Wilson

I'm so sorry, Geno, you deserve better than the Jets

maybe because it is overly sweeping and indiscriminate, just a thought

also, remember when the centrists told DEMS to stop talking about immigration policy?

also, frankly, they don’t have any good options right now and throwing a Hail Mary to turbo fuck the strait even if it pisses off their allies may actually be the best card they have left to play

(all assuming they’re actually mining, which, who knows at this point)

we don’t have a monopoly on people making decisions that maybe aren’t in their best interests because they’re real mad

10.03.2026 19:00 πŸ‘ 296 πŸ” 12 πŸ’¬ 3 πŸ“Œ 0

a load-bearing part of Trump getting away with everything is that he’s generally faced with rational actors who do their best to steer around his lunacy but the people making decisions in Iran are a guy whose entire family we just killed and some random IRGC folks and they might just go β€œfuck you”

there is an extremely long list of people who need to be held accountable in the next administration but sending the DOGE boys to big boy jail needs to be near the top of the list

reporting on what is actually happening is even less reliable than usual which is extremely unhelpful

I am far from an optimist but every time I post something like "no he's not going to cancel elections" the replies are utterly insufferable

also there's a 90% chance Trump goes on a riff about this that people take seriously until they realize he's talking about the game Minesweeper

folks I don't think regular shipments of oil and gas are going to be happening any time soon

the single biggest crime in Trumpworld is profiting without cutting the boss in

yes yes I know what β€˜theory’ means in the scientific sense let me have my joke

pedocon theory not so much a theory as an immutable law of physics

I could make so much god damn money if you gave me access to a government twitter account and kalshi for five minutes and I think it’s a real problem

just @ me why don’t you, Terry

I admire a lot of characters in Discworld but I do not think any of them have as many β€œoooh, ouch, you got me” moments as Tiffany does
