If not for the fact that the animal rights movement didn't gain nearly as much traction since the '90s as anyone who was around back then surely assumed it would, this would definitely be on the far right's agenda, and prominent politicians like DeSantis would have been in the news for...

Hell, it must be great to be literally any megabillionaire who's not Elon Musk, generally, given what a bang-up job he's doing making them all look kinda decent by comparison.

It must be great to be Jack Dorsey. Run Twitter into the ground, sell it off to the one guy you know will make it so much worse that everyone will forget about how badly you ran it, immediately start a new site that promises to do the exact same thing, end up 40 billion dollars richer AND still...

The best you can hope for is wages to go up proportionately. That won't happen either because these are Democrats, not Socialists, but historically that is the reason why populations have managed to weather inflation.

I mean... anything you post on the internet is going to get scraped by some AI or other anyway. If they can access it, they can and will scrape it and you'll never even know. The surprising thing is that X are being upfront about it.

I love how like, most of the stuff they have flagged as SCARY RED TEXT has been part of their agreement for literally the whole time the site has existed and is part of the standard agreement with literally every website like it. Like, "They can run ads and not pay you a cut" ...yeah? I'm still...

See, stuff like this is why it's hard to take your "hopium" seriously. This idea that the entire Republican party, which has a stranglehold on roughly half of the country's states and can't lose a presidential election by a landslide even by running the absolute worst human being on earth, is...

Other stuff that's happening this year: four states—Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, and Idaho—are all voting on whether to switch to ranked-choice voting. And Alaska is voting on whether to get rid of it, in what is no doubt going to be the first of many attempts if the measure fails.

Yeah, Rogan got to where he is now by being the embodiment of that old saying, "So open-minded that your brain falls out" and happening to have a lot of very persuasive right-wingers on in a row. I can't imagine he's turned into the kind of person who purposely puts people on his show to make...

So. Some interesting things going on in my area. First off, there's a referendum in Ohio to overhaul how districts get drawn, and that's not even the most interesting thing about it. What's interesting is that the description of the referendum (courtesy of our Secretary of State) is such blatant...

I did find it a little hard to swallow that Riley wasn't capable of envy or embarrassment until now.

Donald Trump: the Fyre Festival of people.

Meanwhile modern-day Duke Brothers would have a blue-line flag on their car even as they cause no end of trouble for the cops they claim to support.

OK, I get that this is horrible, but "comparing trans people to dogs" seems strategically worded to be misinterpreted out of context. Meanwhile, I want to know what parents objected to about letting their kids watch The Bad Guys. Maybe they think the fox lady is too sexy?

IQ is bogus pseudoscience anyway.

At this point it's even odds which will die first, the phone or Trump.

I'd generally prefer a president to be more like Picard, but apparently pop culture has exaggerated the differences between the two.

So just like every other politician ever.

A lack of counter offers from people with deeper pockets is not something I would count on. There is a pretty direct correlation between being rich and having an interest in propping up assholes like Jones.

The Barbed Wire's effort to buy InfoWars is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping would happen, but it's not likely they're going to come anywhere close to affording it; I'd never even heard of them until now. A smarter move would be for a bunch of left-wing entities to pool their resources...
