Eh, that’s what they’re trying to do, but that’s always what groups like them have tried to do throughout history and it never really works for very long. We aren’t reaching the end of anything, it’s just the next stage of the game.

“The donors’ checks cleared and my accounts balances all went up, so I really don’t know what you nerds are whining about.” - Congress

They’ve stopped trying to make fun and started trying to exploit psychological weaknesses and hijack our internal reward systems to rinse us of both time and money

Exactly, and the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was pro microtransactions really tells you the kind of scum we’re dealing with here

The Clash’s “(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais”

All over people changing their votes

Along with their old codes

If Adolf Hitler flew in today

They’d send a limousine straight away

Everyone’s afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want,

I bet you’d be disappointed,

Am I right?

…

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember

We’re alive for the first time

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember

We’re alive for the last time

“Bloodline” by Mon Rovîa and “What of Our Nature” by Haley Heynderickx and Max García Conover when I want lyrics,

Makaya McCraven’s “Techno Logic” “The People’s Mixtape” “Hidden Out” and “PopUp Shop” (4 EPs he released on the same day that are basically one inconveniently packaged double album), Sholto’s “Letting go of Forever,” and “Car Alarm” by Pat’s Soundhouse when I don’t

Oh man, another delivery from Cyberpunk Dystopia Cliche of the Month Club?! We have got to cancel that membership

It would be kinda funny that a famously orange man is persecuting a Mr. Lemon if not for the whole “there’s a tyrant trying to stomp the last vestiges of the American free press out of existence and I don’t know if anyone’s gonna stop him” thing

Well that’s epistemological ephemera for ya

The hunters, who asked their names to be withheld as they are Democrats living in Texas, said they are just keeping up with the times. “My dad used to take me to the gun range as a kid, now I take my son to the drone range. You should see how happy he gets when he drops a pound of flour directly on a MAGA hat.

I don’t think we’ll just be dropping flour if/when it gets to this point

Because rich weirdos keep throwing him money. The average member of the public is better than the rich weirdos, but we have to keep dealing with rich weirdos shit because rich.

Extremely NYC moment tbh

For legal reasons I find the depicted scene relatable only in a metaphorical sense

Thank you for symbolically resonant content!

An introvert who has come to realize community is essential

Well that’s relatable

And scumbag liberals who ought to know better but keep compromising and collaborating with the fascists because they think it will get the angry assholes on their side

If the Harris campaign cared about law enforcement violence they did a dogshit job of communicating it to anyone

Here’s to hoping at some point in the future we get candidates that won’t blow winnable races like her team did

Yeah, it’s really hard to talk up our candidate’s anti-war bonafides after throwing anti-war protesters out of our convention and having her hit the campaign trail with the Cheneys
