The funniest thing to me about Gavin trolling MAGA is that apparently nobody in MAGA has heard of satire. And that, my friends, is truly hilarious.
Got some satire in McSweeneys. The most unrealistic part of this is probably the idea of Elon Musk writing in clear and complete sentences. mcsweeneys.net/articles/kill…
If I were into conspiracy theories, I’d certainly comment on how gutting social security only works out math-wise if you’re orchestrating mass boomer death by gutting flu vaccines, cancer research, etc.
All I know is, if I woke up tomorrow with multiple billion dollars, I’d spend it in a year on initiatives for small business, literary excellence, wilderness conservation, and democracy. In short, try to reverse the damage of a decade of social media billionaires.
I was promised as a homeschooled kid that when the white theocracy came to America it would celebrate greatness: Shakespeare, Michelangelo. Instead we have cybertrucks, exploding rockets, and AI. America has never felt so mediocre.
Frankly I find it frightening that so many Americans are so blithely willing to parrot propaganda that sounds absurd after even a few seconds of thought, such as “billionaire is doing an audit and rooting out fraud by canning programs approved by Congress.”
Musk is claiming he’s cutting “waste,” but he’s obviously involved to funnel money to his own projects. He’s screaming corruption because he’s projecting.
Anyone who disagrees with the Pope on this is obviously exhibiting anti-Christian bias, which the President has forbidden.
You know how you never hear Republicans say that 24-year-old women are “kids” who shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions? If one gender is that much more mature, maybe that gender should be in charge.
Given how low Musk’s approval rating is now, and how many unpopular things he’s enmeshed himself in worldwide, there’s a very real possibility he’s the most hated man the world has ever seen. He’s a genius… at making people dislike him.
Congratulations to Mexico and Canada, who both outwitted Trump by telling him they’d do stuff they’re already doing.
Trad ideology is sold, almost without exception, by people who can’t even convince themselves to be good.
RIP to TikTok, the only place I’ve ever gotten 1.3 million views on anything tiktok.com/t/ZP8FVLRTR/
Anyone who sees Whiplash as aspirational knows nothing about how to follow a plot, let alone how good jazz drummers are made. The best jazz drummer I know was raised by exceptionally encouraging parents. Jazz drumming is about listening and improv, not obeying psycho overlords.
I once worked for a place that got bought by tech bros and they immediately fired about 80% of the staff and outsourced the work overseas for less money. They cycled through a lot of hires and kept trying to discuss AI that’d do things even cheaper.
Communication via mail is harder to surveil and exploit (either for Big Brother or commercial reasons) than almost all online communication, partially due to US mail laws that don’t apply to places like Amazon.
The hottest men I’ve dated have loved that I make them laugh, make them think; that I’m creative, that I listen, that I’m supportive. None of them have ever had the gall to rate my physical appearance like it could be reduced to a numeric. You’re dating a person, not doing math.
It’s not a coincidence that as AI rearranges everything, those who profit off AI are paying to distract you from the real reasons culture and the job market have shifted. They want you to blame immigrants/trans people/anyone but them.
Let me explain why “deregulation” of zoning and building codes doesn’t result in cheaper living. Deregulation is a boon to get-rich-quick outside developers, and they won’t be around to suffer consequences like impassible private roads, septic systems draining into wells 🧵
Regulation prevents your neighbors from turning the edge of your land into a garbage dump, a 100-person-a-day recreation site, or a used car lot. Those things bring your property values down, while increased traffic brings your taxes up. Conservatives want regulation too.
