Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?
There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

He deserved punishment that doesn’t let him strut or speechify or cosplay martyrdom. The kind that strips away ego, strips away legacy, strips away the lie that he mattered beyond the damage he did.

You Don’t Get to Break the Constitution Just Because the Bastard Had It Coming

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.
The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.
It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

My reaction to being called 'radical left scum"
Exactly!
My radicalized perspective is that if the US can force ByteDance to divest/shutter TikTok in the US, the EU can do the same for Azure/AWS cloud data centers under the same logic
fundamentally i even get why the european union doesn't want giant american multinationals running their entire internet, especially now
December 30, 2025 at 6:38 AM
