in fairness to andreessen he has had to overcome this country’s very real discrimination against coneheads
Only in America could a white man with a current net worth of $2 billion see himself as part of a victimized group. 🤦‍♂️

The universe IS too fabulous for capitalism 👇🏿
So if you literally don't know what to do with yourself right now:

1. call your members of congress, ESPECIALLY if they are GOP, and tell them what you really think

2. look for the helpers in your community and support trans kids

3. Remember the universe is too fucking fabulous for capitalism

Oh it's me. Hi me! *waves in an OSHA-approved method*
Late last week, as concerned family and friends started reaching out, worried about the LA protests and how I was doing, I was like FAM I CAN'T GET MORE STRESSED THAN I AM. I AM A LEAF ON THE CORTISOL WIND. THIS CHANGES NOTHING.

we are more than 10 years into this bullshit and there is still no identified use case for crypto beyond a speculative pump and dump token. nobody uses it in commerce except to buy CSAM and ketamine from Burmese organized crime. it's a shitty medium of exchange and a bad store of value. it sucks.
lol. You keep pushing responsibility to everywhere but you. If you are 25 and your networth is $250 and tied up in crypto and every time gary said something you lost money and every time trump did you made money, who you voting for ?

Lottery tickets expire. Crypto doesn’t.

VII out of X, at least! #solidstatehumor
Unusual polymorph of solid water but not “vanilla” ice in this sample Under Pressure.
Diamonds are scary!

They can include little pockets of water that remain at ~237000x atmospheric pressure (it's about 5,000x atmospheric pressure at the bottom of the ocean) once the diamond has been erupted to the surface.

The water is so highly pressurized it's Ice VII at room temperature.

Signed the 17th of the month, so the stars and bars racists will celebrate their loserdom for less than two weeks. Good job team! 🤪

If I wanted to hire someone to play a degenerate rural gas station attendant who murders unsuspecting travelers with a shovel, I would pick RFK Jr
Which is funny because he personally looks like he just crawled out of a morgue drawer and croaked “brains” when he saw the night shift attendant
RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

congrats to everyone who equated anti-genocide protest with supporting hamas
NEW—DHS claims, without citing proof, Rumeysa Ozturk "engaged in activities in support of Hamas."

Among "activity" Ozturk engaged in was co-writing an op-ed urging Tufts to heed student resolutions to acknowledge the Palestinian genocide & divest from companies tied to Israel.

I'm a proud Democrat, and for me, that means holding our leadership to a high standard. We have given Democratic leadership substantial grace and patience to get their shit together. If our leaders are unwilling to fight, it's time to find leaders who will.

You know, I’ve defended Pelosi a fair bit over the years. I don’t always agree with her, but that bitch gets shit done. It’s why the right hates her guts

But FUCK Chuck Schumer. The right barely cares he exists cause Droopy Dog over there just goes along to get along & forlornly licks his food bowl

Just FYI, Tom argued for universal welfare, abolition, public education, state-sponsored pre/post-natal care, family subsidies, & retirement for workers at 50 w/state pensions that would double at 60.

He also considered the American revolution a failure, co-opted by self-serving, landowning elites.
