this appears to still be happening
the way I have chosen to deal with it is to mute notifications but periodically go check the bit where people might be talking to me about dragon quest
(they are and I’m quite happy about it)

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Trump's chief contribution to American politics is revealing that you don't need a respectable veneer for evil, corrupt behavior. You can rob the bank, say you did it because you like money and you'll do it again, and challenge anyone to stop you
I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

I don't want fucking "let us come together" I want "there will be consequences." I want these freaks to suffer real, meaningful, PAINFUL fucking consequences for all the harm they have caused ( and will continue to cause) both at home and abroad. I want fucking gulags for the chuds. I am NOT joking.

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

i think part of why the whole AI thing bothers me so much (apart from literally everything because it's transparently fucking awful) is the language of *inevitability* used by the con artists behind it and their marks reminds me an awful lot of...well, that One Thing i'm always on about

i don't know that i think it was *better* when tv was limited to whatever happened to be on at the time, exactly, but i do like that i had that experience growing up because there's something nice about it that i can't really put my finger on

gonna be thinking about this a few years from now when we're being told we can't actually fix anything trump broke because of the senate parliamentarian or whatever
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

gotta say, having the household breadwinner's job snatched away in mid-December for literally no reason apart from some c-suite fuckwit's baseless objection to remote workers has really scraped away what last bottom-of-the-barrel dregs of enjoyment i had left for the holidays
