Ugh. I hate how right you are.

I’m sorry, are there any different dystopias available other than this one? This one is stupid and I’d like to make an exchange if I can.

I guess you can always make it shittier?

I never understood the appeal of Threads anyway. Like, who leaves Xitter because it’s toxic garbage and goes to something owned by Meta, who practically invented this particular flavor of toxic garbage?

They’re not even hiding the enshittification strategy. They’re practically teaching you the principles up front.

“First we trap you, then we exploit you. Duh.”

Guess they saw somebody on TV say it to a kid once or something.

Wait, your shitty, morally decrepit parents told you they were proud of you?

I only got the shitty, morally decrepit part and didn’t get the supportive part. Mine just wanted me to be their clone.

There’s no moral dilemma. It’s just pure moral compromise.

I hate that the worst actor from Newsradio is now a significant supporting factor in the murder of democracy.

Fuck Joe Rogan for everything else too. Dude’s just an all-around chode.

I’m not a vape user, but the model is the kind of thing that just makes me so angry.

In a world that makes sense:

• small, mostly metal vape chassis
• rechargeable, replaceable battery
• built-in glass reservoir with charging valve
• vape juice sold in medium to large recyclable cans with standard interface to the charging valve

In a world where Profit is God (the real world):

• disposable chassis
• disposable battery
• if it’s refillable at all, it’s via non-recyclable, mixed material, mostly plastic, proprietary cartridges and you can save 5% if you subscribe online for refills, 10% if you pay yearly, $5 credit if you refer a friend on social media using hashtag #smoovape
• probably gives you turbo cancer because the juice is made in a repurposed Freon plant that was inadequately converted and they just don’t answer the phone when the FDA or EPA call

Criminally overlooked and underrated.

I long for the halcyon days of old, back when we had candidates that were perfect in every way. 🙄

Yes, but Republicans do what they want with no consequences, so check and mate.

First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.

It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.

I love this energy.

That’s the point. It’s why the election is being attacked exactly the way it is. You can’t un-burn a ballot, you can’t un-certify an election. No matter how egregious and illegal the action, if it gets them across the finish line, it sticks.

Instead of watching whatever the hell this ends up being, just read this ancient and hilarious screenshot Let’s Play. I guarantee it’s more entertaining, especially if you remember early 2000’s internet, before it turned into <gestures at everything>.

And then they stopped lying, about one specific thing, for about a minute, before resuming the full throttle bullshit bus.

Once we look into it, we’ll collect evidence, make a case, charge them, it’ll attempt go to trial, they’ll settle, and they’ll pay $20,000 in fines in 2034 if we still have a functioning justice system at that time.

Bias is unavoidable.
