A huge, empty, blank book is the perfect metaphor for a trump presidency.

They get bored in their bubbles, though, because they get off on trolling “the libs”.

Libertarians think it’s funny when the cops beat the shit out of protesters. They somehow think capitalism never develops into dominance hierarchies whenever and wherever possible. “Liberty” only applies to taxes and regulations on businesses in their weltanschauung.

I think a lot of leftists are just sick of the snarky centrists claiming Biden is a progressive, or that “we can push him left” once he’s in. I don’t know how they can continue to claim that with this bit of news, though. And the message it’s sending to the left is basically “fuck you”. So, there’s that. There’s a…

He’s been poisoning discourse in america since the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. Well, he tried a few times before then, but Reagan unleashed him. 32 years of hate. I hope it hurts.

I have no doubt that he was actually having fun. He and his followers delight in cruelty.

I’m quite disappointed that this isn’t already a thing - not just in this particular instance, but rather in general when countering right-wing propaganda. The right is waging all-out information warfare, and the democratic party is just taking it, more or less. Where are all the think-tanks? What happened to…

No “kinda” about it. Although it’s certainly odd coming from the person in question. Scary how uncritically right-wingers “think”.

This is precisely what has bothered me about america for as long as I can remember. It’s worse in some areas than others, but it’s generally pervasive. What drives me absolutely insane about arguing with right-wingers is that they take everything you say literally, and then pounce on it so as to have a “gotcha!”…

That actually sounds very similar to my experience, although mine was a bit more “violent” than a “click”. The only thing I can think of causing something like that in independent observers would be a powerful magnetic field - like maybe an EMP (except there’s no nuclear explosion to trigger it). There were no large…

Agreed, minus the “sophisticated” part.

The witches were just as confused as the rest of us.

It should only be on Barf Bag because some right-wing assholes are trying to claim the shooter is an antifascist, despite the fact that he’s a fucking Pinkerton. The shooting had nothing to do with (or “between”, as you say) “rival protesting groups”. It says so right in your fucking article, as confirmed by the…

AI learns, by definition. Now what it learns depends a great deal on the algorithms and the input data, which would be the creators and the users, respectfully.

The Aggrievement Industrial Complex is certainly one of the weirder aspects of fascism. Perpetual cries of victimhood from a minority holding fast to the reins of power by any means necessary, which includes grown men ranting like angry children that someone had the temerity to tell them they were bad for doing…

That’s brilliant.

That’s so weird. I was playing with this old Ouija board I found in the attic of this creepy old Victorian home that my white ethnic friend from a long line of sensitives lives in, as one does, and it spelled out “emerald marine chocolate mint tart”. Clearly, a dire warning.

No, no, stand on your tiptoes and raise your arms over your head to make yourself look bigger. If that fails, piss yourself.

Excellent deployment of quotes around “joke”.

I don’t know, I’m so disappointed in all the Ouija board references, Victorian homes, “sensitives” mentions, and touching dead relative stories that I’m afraid I’ll just get buried. I’ll leave a weird experience for you, though, right here:
