Apparently in politics he may actually qualify as a spring chicken. I mean shit, he’s been showing up to work and speaking somewhat coherently – he’s already ahead of a number of other high-ranking politicians just based on those criteria.

Oh man, now I’m actually feeling a twinge of optimism. Damn you lol

Makes perfect sense! How many companies would you expect to own all the popular dating sites? 5? 10?

Of course not! There should only be one company controlling entire markets, it’s the American way 🤡

I’m sure the elected officials who answer to the public will get right on investigating him.

This is something i think about a lot, though I’ve had a hard time putting it to words exactly.

We live in a largely fake world. Objects and pictures representing things have increasingly replaced the genuine articles. We are expected to be continually wow’d by images on our screens as though they’re as good or engaging as reality. So many stores like Homegoods carry all kinds of items that serve strictly aesthetic value. So much of advertising is convincing the target that the item will improve their lives in extraordinary ways when the reality so often proves itself lesser-than-expected. We even have amounts of money in circulation that can’t feasibly exist. The US national debt is an absolutely staggering number – it’s an irrational amount of money/value. Does that much value actually exist in the world? There are so many things that exist in theoretical space but make impact in reality–it feels fake. Don’t even get me started on AI/deepfakes etc.

I still don’t know if I’ve gotten my thinking straight on this yet, it’s just this nagging thought in the back of my mind i can’t seem to shake.

I heard his name a lot recently but only in the past couple days did i read any quotes or get to know who he is at all. Seems like a solid dude so far. I found this to be refreshing:

The former public health director has stuck to a platform centered on affordability at home and an end to foreign entanglements. He said that Islamophobia is a cop-out because his opponents don’t want to debate substantive issues.

“You can’t actually talk about what you want to do?” he said. “My name is not raising your gas prices. My name is not taking us to war. My name is not the reason you can’t afford groceries.”

“and I’ll do it again”

Newsome?

Only if he can stay awake for the proceedings

They have to show some level of concern before what everybody saw coming happens

A Charlie Kirk for the modern day!

Are we great again yet, though? That’s what he told us he was gonna do 🤔

That piece of shit has probably been submitting “proof of life” images for years now. I would have guessed he was dead years ago despite his lips moving and words expelling from his abomination of a face. I honestly think he may have died long ago and this has been an elaborate ruse that’s finally coming to a close

It’s wild–this guy does stuff that benefit people, and in return the people fucking love him

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good point! Never considered that.

From your link:

No longer do firearm buyers fit the old stereo-type of being white, rural and Republican.

I think they meant those people. The ones who’ve been at it for decades. At very least they got a head-start at brain-deadness, i suppose. The liberals are gonna have a lot of shooting to do to catch up!

We’re gonna see medical care for the middle/lower class take some real tumbles in quality and outcomes. The whole thing has been built for profit and they’re about to gut a whole lot more with AI. They’re penalizing nurses for spending more than 15 minutes with a patient on the phone and analyzing their voices with AI to make sure they’re empathetic/caring enough. So, they’re supposed to care genuinely–but can’t stay on the phone for too long because it will somehow cut into some dickheads profits. Interesting line they’re making them walk 😒

A searing takedown of what was a fairly in-depth article! I don’t know how you summon so much meaning from a single word, but color me “impressed”

I’m sure the greatest-of-all-times will understand

That probably doesn’t even account for the tariffs that we’re also paying
