[Homer sits backwards on a chair] let me tell you about ANOTHER giant brute who was being beaten by Nobody

Solidarity from a city that's experienced a related, stupid ass situation. Maybe yours will leave the moment they hit full pension too! www.publicsource.org/pittsburgh-p...

The distance between the American electorate and federal elected officials on getting enmeshed in Middle East bullshit is, as always, wiiiiiiiide

Yeah I think it's bad there's a palpable desire, bubbling out of the fever swamps, to lynch Tony Fauci

Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted this video of the Oval Office and it somehow looks even more embarrassing than I realized

I've seen a half dozen Facebook screeds about Fauci today that I can only describe as deranged, half of which seem to allude to demonic forces of evil, and it genuinely does not register in my brain what these people think he did

I don't even hate Pittsburgh's current city government but Zohran Mamdani looks like a superhuman force of vision and competency compared to anything that's ever happened here and ever could

The counterargument to that, which the market has fully bought into, seems to be "nuh-uh"

Trump has wriggled out of everything ever but at this point we are literally scraping the bottom of barrels and pipelines. I feel insane that nothing is happening, but it makes me think that--when it finally hits--it's going to hit with unimaginable force.

But like… is the world going to face a real shortage of oil by November 2026? How long will it have lasted at that point? That sounds really really really bad? Catastrophically bad? Am I missing something?

I missed two of my best friends' weddings in 2020 and I wonder how our relationship would be different. Lost touch with a couple other friends, too, when we weren't in physical proximity for a few years straight, after usually getting together at Christmas.

There's a Buechner sermon where he talks about how God writing "I'm real" in the stars of the night sky would convince people for a few weeks before they talked themselves out of it. You know, just like J6 and Covid.

My grandmother died in a nursing home where we couldn't see her face to face until she was on hospice, actively dying. One at a time. The funeral, in rural PA, was bizarre: a small handful of us in a packed room wearing masks and the funeral director telling us we didn't have to bother with that.

What could we do then?

People genuinely think the shot caused, like, mass death and disability. That belief hasn't changed despite the assurance the vaccinated would all be dead within a year as part of a Bill Gates population control scheme.

You forget the slashed pool liner!

This is great, thank you.

Now let me offer my own crank theory: I don't know how to trace it and neither, to my knowledge, has anyone else at this point, but there is pandemic-to-fascism conveyor.

I think about this a lot. Used to assume the Spanish Flu was just wedged in a busy, intrawar historical spot. Now I'd bet it was direct psychic fuel for the rise of fascism and the outbreak of WWII.
