Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru.)

  • Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. And yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene, following his Hippocratic Oath, was denied.

  • Go look up the guy who first appointed Tom Homan.

  • Obama laid the foundation for Donald.

    How could you not hate him?

  • Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

    Jump

  • I don't use LLMs for anything creative for the express purpose of avoiding generic tone, haha.

  • Mission accomplished

    Jump

  • Exactly, or just not spending their whole day whining on other people's tweets about their personal style.

    Bleak.

  • Palantir CEO Says AI Will Somehow Be So Great That People Will Stop Immigrating

    Jump

  • Not that I would ever punch him myself, I do have to concede that the man has an eminently punchable face.

  • Huh?

    Jump

  • It is not for us to question the will of the gods.

    Especially the tiny furry ones.

  • The cruelty is the point.

    This is partly why I hate Obama so much. He had so many opportunities to reform this (Ferguson sticks out the most) and instead he doubled down on militarized police.

  • Mission accomplished

    Jump

  • I wish I could get people to care about anything that really matters (wages, health care, peace, etc) as they do about other people's appearances.

  • Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

    Jump

  • "Social permission" is one term for it.

    Most people don't realize this is happening until it hits their electric bills. Microslop isn't permitted to steal from us. They're just literal thieves and it takes time for the law to catch up.

  • To Their Shock, Cubans in Florida Are Being Deported in Record Numbers

    Jump

  • This meme is so dishonest, at least in the context of immigration.

    The promise made was the mass deportation of criminal immigrants. What is happening is state-sponsored domestic terrorism, targeting of legal immigrants, and the wholesale disruption of communities.

    What's happening is not what people voted for, and they have every right to be pissed. (Which, judging by the 2025 elections, they very much are.)

    And those of you who are ignoring these distinctions really need to STFU.

  • Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge

    Jump

  • As if we weren't going to figure out how shitty LLM's are organically.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • I'm not MAGA at all.

    I hate partisans of both team colors, and I think it is objectively false to call Biden 'great' in any context. I wish he'd spent half as much time making sure Americans can eat and put a roof over his head as he did keeping his son out prison.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • Biden accomplished a lot of great things

    Totally. Genocide Joe achieved an economy that has my 80 year-old parents driving for DoorDash in a car they borrow from me, so his economy won't render them homeless.

    Awesome guy, that Joe.

    Love it.

  • Gov. Walz mobilizes Minnesota National Guard amid heated protests

    Jump

  • The difference is that in China, people are generally getting a good standard of living with their authoritarianism. If Donald were giving us prosperity along with his Gestapo, his poll numbers would be sky high.

    Here in the US, they're getting poverty. (Morally though, you're right, we're as bad as they are.)

  • Second amendement amendement

    Jump

  • Every protest needs to have a line of armed people standing right in front.

    That, more than anything, will make ICE think twice before attacking. (Because they're pussies.)

  • New Hampshire bishop warns after ICE shooting that a 'new era of martyrdom' is upon us

    Jump

  • I hate that there even have to be martyrs in this sick, fucking world.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • they have absolutely no chance intention of pulling any of it off

    I corrected this slightly, but you're right. They know that none of it is actually going to get done, and they have the excuses already lined up: not enough votes, obstruction, filibuster, parliamentarian, etc. etc. etc.

    It's the same reason some billionaires insist that they support higher taxation on themselves, because they know it is never going to happen.

  • Australia parliament votes for tighter gun controls after Bondi shooting

    Jump

  • I'm so jealous of countries that possess the capacity to react in a reasonable way to gun violence.

  • What was your life like in 2008?

    Jump

  • The first half of 2008 was okay. I was a year into having my own place, was dating a lot, and traveling multiple times a year. Going on your first solo vacations as a young adult is a pretty dang cool thing.

    I was still new in my career and was building my adult life. I had a job lined up in Chicago, but it was with a financial company, and the collapse of Bear Stearns, Lehman, and the whole economy got the offer pulled that September.

    I remember being very excited for the election. I actually got to go see Michelle Obama give a speech in the jazz district here in Kansas City, and the line to see Barack Obama speak at his Liberty Memorial campaign stop was so long they had to cut it off for security reasons. We sat on one of the hills and listened to the speech, and he was elected by a large margin.

    In hindsight, 2008 was the last year I had any real hope for the future.

    Obama was supposed to be the Anti-Dubya, but he turned out to be a conservative fascist too. The banks were rewarded with bailouts and bonuses for crashing the economy, and to this day, only one person's gone to prison for it. I now just assume each new year will be incrementally worse than the last, which while bad for my mental health, has been great for my financial planning.
