I mean, I have hobbies, but I mostly just post rambling diatribes about politics to get them out of my head. If that's your thing, I'm sorry.
I tend to think that the solution to most social problems is, in the abstract, very simple. First, figure out which group has the power to solve the problem by not doing what they are currently doing, and secondly, arrange society such that all of the negative consequences of the problem are...

Okay, Trump clearly just looks like Trump here, but why is Zuckerberg so recognizable?

Honestly, if a Democrat isn't running on a promise to use every power that has been granted to the presidency by the supreme court to end the Republican party and dispossess every billionaire, why even get off the couch? Why stand with them if they aren't serious?

The reason the right desperately want you to have babies is that you are much easier to control if they can take a hostage.

Look, liberalism won't fail to solve problems because liberals are bad. Most liberals aren't bad people. Liberalism will fail to solve problems because it is, at root, a compromise between people who want the problems solved and people who rely on those problems to control or extort others.

A rich conservative is, at root, a person who would rather eat a double helping of shit than share a steak.

I guess we have to resign ourselves to the knowledge that Bill Clinton is probably not a pedophile, since the DoJ hasn't redacted his name.

It's kind of messed up that, after all of the things that people have insisted are distractions, everybody has somehow coalesced around the one thing that is 100% a distraction with absolutely no political value.
Literally everybody who cares about this either likes it, or already opposes Trump.

Anyone else notice that when Taylor Swift was having a string of bad relationships and writing songs about how painful it was, everyone loved her work, but as soon as she is in a happy engagement, writing songs about how great her big-dicked chad of a boyfriend is, she became unrelateable?

Man, just cleaning up some stuff in my room, opened an old binder, and found the beginnings of an old TTRPG I started writing at some time in the past. I don't even know how old it is, it is full of familiar ideas, but tied together in a way that had totally slipped my mind.

People act like "there should be no billionaires" means we should be killing people for being too successful, but in reality if you just fairly enforced the law, fairly enforced the tax code, and adjusted some numbers like the minimum wage for inflation, there would never be billionaires.

The Outer Worlds franchise was so fumbled. The game was fun but not amazing, certainly good enough to sustain a sequel.
But then they went Epic exclusive on release. So instead of everyone getting the game at once, when excitement was high, they got a slow seep spread across a year.

Huh. Looks like ISIS is getting bailed out again. At least this time Trump is just standing by and doing nothing instead of actively assisting them.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that the picture on that Clickhole article titled "Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point" is very clearly Tim Poole circa 2030 or so, and Clickhole somehow reached into the future from the year 2018 to get it?

I'm curious who many Nazis are that way because their high-school crush hooked up with a non-white guy. Like, most or all?

The thing everybody ignores about a big missile defense system is that in the process of building it there will come a time when all of you enemies say "In about 3 months time, the only thing that protects me from being invaded by those guys will become useless."

I wonder how many of the people who work directly with Trump have posted about how if they ever got their hands on a pedophile, they would end them in a second, or some shit like that. They seem like the type. See, it's easy to talk about shooting pedophiles until they're your boss.

This is a 10/10 cow, the bovine Prometheus. It has cracked the code, and look at it go!
In all seriousness, this is a huge deal, but also in no seriousness at all, it's a fucking cow scratching its back with a broom and scientists are flocking.
