I saw that clip of the church singing the Madonna song like a week ago and it has been playing in my head non stop ever since.

I don’t even know the lyrics! It’s just a blur of sound with the words “on my knees” in the middle of it!

That idea sounds cool AF.

there are five left wing political parties

we should create a single unified left wing political party for everyone to rally around

there are six left wing political parties

edit: I’m pessimistic but anything is better than just continuing to do what he’s been doing for the past four years, so yeah I hope he does

I found my sunglasses!

Even under the rigged electoral system, the liberal opposition groups unexpectedly won the most seats

All of these groups hated each other and couldn’t form a majority

Extreme ultra conservative appointed prime minister

It’s sort of like poetry, it rhymes.

raising money

It’s the Death Star a tech startup now? For the metaphor to be on point it needs to be over time and over budget but also the recipient of seemingly infinite military industrial complex funding.

I bet it’s trivially easy to get that LLM to generate a bunch of super based pro-Palestine output.

“Some BODY once told me…”

Torrenting The Tonight Show be like

I’m imagining a Ukrainian terror cell blowing up the ICC with an American-made bomb and everyone blaming Russia.

lmao someone near me has one of these things, every time I pass it on windy mountain roads I think about how many of them have had brake failures.

Also if you pool the Americium from 100 detectors together they become pretty dangerous.

When I was a kid they called me “The Juicebox”

lmao I know for a fact the top image on that page used to be Aayla Secura, when did they change it?

a shower—or sonic shower, sanisteam or turboshower—a bath—or sonic bath or ripple bath

You can’t just add sci fi words to a thing and pretend it’s a new thing!

Knowing too much and at the same time not enough about Romans is also a big red flag.

We call this the “marble statue avatar valley”

I think this is the endpoint of any individualistic liberal democracy. Most people don’t engage with politics most of the time, and historically the way that political movements got around this was by embedding themselves into the people’s lives and giving them a lens through which to think of politics when they did. But in America our workplaces are thoroughly depoliticized, other groups that a person might belong to have been eviscerated, and the few political formations we have left at the smaller level (shit like HOAs and megachurches) were designed from the jump to be pretty much irredeemably fascist. So the average person has no lens through which to interpret politics, and just shoots their opinions from the hip while reacting to the most immediate material conditions impacting their life.

Anyway I expect the rest of the presidents in my lifetime to be one term wonders (even if they’re nonconsecutive).
