Facebook Ads are on par with most of what Trump sells, and they’ve got a market cap of $1.4T

Alpha Males think they’re top shit, but it’s the Gamma Male that’s guaranteed to penetrate me

Running, cycling, climbing, swimming. He’s a quadruple threat.

New York is one of the most liberal states in the country, but its got fewer EVs per capita than Texas in no small part because its also one of the few states with a functional mass transit system.

Utah is one of the reddest states in the country, but it also has enormous wealth per capita, so it has far more new EVs than bluer states like Delaware and Rhode Island and New Mexico and Wisconsin.

Persians absolutely malding right now.

It’s just cool to imagine a social media tool that’s monetized SWATing.

Sadly, Marvel has fired all their good screenwriters and replaced them with overworked/underpaid animators based overseas.

Out of the blue, some BBC executive or execs wanted to censor the sketch because of “its’ visual depiction of menstrual urine”.

This feels like a Mitchel and Webb bit. Hell, if the censors burst into the scene carrying a big piece of blacked out cardboard to hold over the bottle, it would fit into the original Monty Python episode perfectly.

The very same.

I would simply invest a small amount of money into all of the fastest growing equities every day for the next 20 years. Alternatively, I’d just get the NSA to pay me $600M/year for access to some servers that cost me around $50M/year to operate.

The thing with cats is they assume they’re the patron.

warlocks have more fun than any other class

Love to be dragged into a plane of eternal torment and subjected to the most nightmarish cruelty my patron can devise, because I failed to fulfill condition XXVI.a.243-0.1 in the infernal contract.

Love to have a creature of mad whimsy show up to cause sheer bedlam at the worst possible moment, because I stumbled in a grove half-starved and ate fruit from the wrong Fae Lord’s magical bush a lifetime ago.

Love to be forever trapped under the unblinking eye of the Divine Surveillance State with an angel’s merciless glare boring holes into the back of my neck because my great-great-great-grandfather pledged himself to the seventh generation as part of the Glorious Crusade of the Most Righteous High One.

Warlocks having so much fun right now… weee… :-(

Republicans should replace Donald Trump with checks notes Alan Dershowitz?

Or perhaps we just need a high performing Solicitor General on the ballot like… uh… Ted Cruz?

The problem is that you can be angry all day and it won’t accomplish anything without coordinated, planned, collective action. And collective action is made more difficult with angry people.

I disagree. People who aren’t agitated make for poor partners. They’re unreliable, uncommitted, and easily wooed by empty platitudes from the folks committing the offenses.

Anger motivates you to act Right Now, which is why it’s good for reactionaries.

Generic always-on anger burns you out and turns you into a cynic. It’s the cynicism that reactionaries feed on. But when you have a baseline moral position and you can recognize what does and does not rise to the level of offense, you can leverage outrage productively rather than feel sour and hateful all the time.

Progressives have a lot of trouble hitting the slow-burn simmer of anger in a way that’s motivational and doesn’t slip into despair when you get tired from all that rage that you can’t turn into immediate results.

Progressives (in the US) have a hard time mobilizing large groups toward productive action because they lack the resources and the institutional structure to mobilize individual activists into a collective workforce. When progressives get access to these kinds of resources, they generate enormous social value in a relatively short amount of time. The despair we routinely see in progressive communities stems from groups that are fractured - often deliberately so - and undermined by state and corporate institutions.

It’s ok to charge money to run a business.

They’re not charging money. They’re just throwing up a big sign demanding my email address.

Jews did live in Palestine/ Middle East

Look up the history of the Beta Israelis / Ethiopian Jews and their treatment in the reconstituted state of Israel.

Compare that to the treatment of Afrikaner Israeli converts emigrating from South Africa and Russian/Ukrainian Jews fleeing violence in the current Russo-Ukraine War.

You’ll notice one of the groups was targeted for mandatory sterilization and it wasn’t the white folks.

They’ll just get a check for Infinity Money to keep going, because otherwise something something China Will Win.

Can’t do crimes if you’re rich. It’s in the Constitution

One frustrating thing about Limbaugh (and Jones and Hannity, et al) is that they made Being Angry a Right Wing Thing.

Extremely frustrating when you see a genocide in Gaza or global temperatures spiking or some cop shoot up a subway over a $3 fare, express anger, and have someone respond “You just sound like Rush Limbaugh”.

There are real reasons to feel righteous anger and to use that as motivation to act. But guys like Rush just fill the airways with this white nationalist noise. They make the idea of being angry this exclusive Right Wing attitude to have.

The original author (Jeremy Hsu) is misleading here with the term “screenshot every 500ms”.

“meta tags every 500ms” might be more accurate, but the end result is the same. The device is monitoring what you consume in order to aggregate data on your household.
