It is an absolutely delightful irony that the richest man in the world is universally acknowledged to be a huge fucking loser who not a single living person envies in any way at all
Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Too many outlets are asking if an AI has feelings and not enough outlets are asking if an AI can be charged with murder.

This argument used to be about stuff like universal healthcare and now it’s about specific groups of people deemed an acceptable loss
I am so fucking sick of this vile argument that fighting anti-trans hate is making perfect the enemy of good.
Forcing trans people out of society isn’t “good”!! It’s fucking evil!
“Once that is done” means “let a bunch of people that I deem less important die in the meantime”. No! Fuck you!

I am not going to lie I’m really struggling to come to terms with the fact that so many millions of Americans want concentration camps for people who came here trying to make a life for themselves just like our ancestors. I am not surprised, I’m sickened.
