  1. Trickle-down economics is the most obvious lie ever told. ”Hey working class people. I know you want a fair share of the American prosperity you’ve created. Now, we could just hand that to you directly. But wouldn’t it be better for you if, instead, we handed that money over to rich people and then counted on their undeniable devotion to fairness to somehow distribute this money equitably?”
  2. Too stupid, too ignorant, too distracted by shiny objects and bullshit. A couple months ago, I visited some family in the rust belt. They live in a once-thriving town that has been on the decline since the 70s. It’s full of abandoned factories, boarded-up storefronts, and decaying once-stately homes. And slot machines. Everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Every bar has slots. The corner convenience store with bars on the window has slots. The national gas station chain has slots. The neighborhood grocer has slots. The car wash has slots. The BBQ joint has slots. The fast food fried chicken place has slots. The lingerie and dildo store has slots. And if you don’t want your degenerate gambling to be distracted by a car wash, fried chicken, or panties, not to worry: there are plenty of gaming parlors that offer nothing but slots, slots, slots. As the kids would say: we’re cooked. This board is an anomaly. Your social circle is the exception. Most of America is full of uneducated dipshits who couldn’t give two shits about democracy or rights or equality. All they want is to eat ultraprocessed empty calories and feed their dopamine habit by jamming what little money they have into a noisy, blinky theft machine. The Idiocracy is upon us.
  3. If history is any indication, they will do a sudden about-face. And then 24 hours later, they’ll do another sudden about-face. And then 24 hours later, they’ll do another sudden about-face. And then 24 hours later…
  4. Yup. My dad, until recently a lifelong Republican loyalist, admitted that Trump helped him see “the ugliness” of his own politics.
  5. Yep. Which is great news because your options will be either (a) not sleeping or (b) shitty prescription drugs, both of which lead to individual and public health risks as well as declining productivity. All because a drug that works pretty well as a sleep aid with fewer downsides is also fun. And Texans may not have any fun unless it leads directly to conception.
  6. Oh NOW Rex Kramer comes to their defense. But back in the 80s…
  7. And to be clear: this was a despicable act, just as any politically motivated violence is. But… good lord. Try having moral principles instead of selectively whining only when the victims come from your preferred race, ethnicity, religion, etc.
  8. Shouldn’t y’all be in the driver’s seat of your leased F150, recording an inane selfie video about white genocide?
  9. Texas: “Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.”
  10. Doubling the prison term for possession is insane. Over the past few decades, the reasonable world has realized that incarceration for simple drug possession is a massive injustice and detriment to society. Of course our idiot state government doubles down on one of the stupidest policy mistakes of the modern era.
  11. Once they bought crypto, their money had already been stolen.
  12. Trump’s Truth account has clearly been hacked by @dril.
  13. Five Supreme Court Justices, apparently: “Whobury v. Whatnowagain?”
  14. Who knows. But the India-related subreddits are full of complaints about the sensationalist Indian media reporting completely fabricated action-adventure stories.

    That’s not unreasonable, actually. And the article implies that “natural flower grown in Texas” would not be banned.
  16. In retrospect, this guy should have chosen the papal name “Pope Ditka.”
  17. Exactly! The Dems need a winning strategy, just like the one employed by *checks notes* that guy who died in prison after a failed effort to unseat a still-thriving autocratic regime.
  18. The new pope contains potassium benzoate.
  19. I don’t know much about this new pope, but I’m guessing he won’t overturn the Catholic Church’s long-standing delusion that god exists.
  20. I know, right? Genocide is such a flimsy pretext.
  21. When I visited India years ago, I woke up one morning to an armored bus marked “RIOT POLICE” sitting across the street. That freaked me the fuck out. A riot seemed plausible. Indian streets are a constant buzz of noise and chaos, so it was hard to distinguish between the everyday sound of India and a riot. Turns out it was nothing - the shack across the street was the equivalent of a donut shop. So of course the cops drove the fucking riot bus there to grab a bite.
  22. Arteta: “It’s not fair that Liverpool won the league with 82 points, because we finished second with 84 and 89 points the past two seasons.” Scousers who remember 2018-19 and 2021-22: “You don’t want to play this game, Lego man.”
  23. Trump finally found a casino he can’t bankrupt.
