to all the people shitting themselves about Trump somehow magically launching a nation-wide crackdown on American dissenters tomorrow: please do keep this in mind
If this admin actually had any semblance of their shit together, or felt confident about asserting domestic force against mass dissent, they wouldn’t have withdrawn the National Guard from U.S. cities right BEFORE launching an illegal and wildly unpopular war.

I've been on this rodeo a thousand times in my country, an unqualified "we love X and we're not ashamed to say it" is always a hidden admission that some contestable shame exists about X, and just fucking contest it instead of going by "hahah you know which one ;)"

I personally know ONE developer who got his job via a bootcamp. It should be kind of obvious that they're largely scams at this point, especially now that the streets are flooded with cheap CS grads.

few know this but there was a moon landing before the apollo program. Gay NASA landed on the moon first but they weren't allowed to broadcast it. Patroclus V landed a three-man team on Mare Nectaris on June 22, 1967

I'm well aware that this cbs line is just cynical but also it would be so funny if they actually made a nightly news cast that is just like: ZERO EXPERTS, ALL ANALYSIS IS FROM SOME DUDE WE PULLED OFF THE STREET AND HES CONFUSED ABOUT WHY WE ARE FILMING HIM IN THE BUFFALO WILD WINGS PARKING LOT

I have to admit, I'm finding the trend of the chumps formerly known as the alt right having to now engage in christian nationalism hilarious because you can smell the misery at having to be a bible literalist coming right off them when they used to get to smoke and fuck and wake up late on weekends

The myth that the fash tell about rural America isn't even true of actual rural America, just like the lies they tell about urban America aren't true of urban America either.
And deciding that you have to pick one or the other is really silly.

It’s generally assumed that “Moby-Dick” has a canonical start date in December 1841, so there’s a good chance that Ishmael has entered the AME Zion church (then on South Second St, three blocks from the water) and the preacher he sees is Frederick Douglass. 🐋
