"You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain", was not supposed to describe the lifespan of a meme about a confused Shina Inu dog

This headline sums up how stupid the next 4 years will be. Two clueless idiots running a thing named after a meme trying to destroy government. Extra ironic that its the kind of incompetence that would best be parodied with a Doge meme.

Can we please cut this shit out. "I also don't like certain things about how the DHS operates, so when RFK SHAKES THINGS UP maybe he will do it in a sensible manner I approve of" is the kind of delusional thinking that leads you to President Donald J. Trump in the first place

Worth noting Max Brooks World War Z ended with Russia creating forced birth centers..once again the zombie apocalypse fiction has been the most accurate predictor of our post Covid age
Russian lawmakers are weighing a ban on what they see as the destructive promotion of “childfree ideology.”
But experts argue that this legislation is “repressive” and fails to address the root issues behind the country’s flagging birth rates. www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/10/17/r...

And in that moment he was torn between humility at the vast universe before which we are all nothing and using his vast wealth to build some kind of groin reinforcing exoskeleton

Surfing social media as a Democrat these days is basically some cautiously optimistic posts, lots of it shouldn't be so close, this is an indictment of our country posts, and every few days someone loses it and posts it's over people! Stay strong cautious optimists, stay strong.
