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.)

  • 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.

    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.

  • Trump threatens 200% tariffs on French wine and champagne after Macron refuses to join 'board of peace'

    Jump

  • The only difference is that Trump does not hide behind cynical “diplomatic” statements.

    100%

    Well, 98%. There are a handful of good things those evil bastards did.

    There was USAID, and the US helped its enemies rebuild their countries after WWII, and the US was (generally) a good ally via NATO. But did we cozy up to every two-bit dictator willing to let our corporations plunder their country? You betcha we did.

    And the ones who wouldn't we just murdered and did it anyway, often letting the death squads our country funded devastate and pillage along with us.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • Nonsense.

    Donald has the same amount of power that Clinton, Obama, and Biden had.

    The problem isn't a lack of power. It's their predilection to enrich themselves at the expense of their constituents. The only difference is Donald isn't offering shitty excuses like Dems do.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • Many democrats are on our side.

    Yeah, like three of them.

    And the rest are fighting harder to stop Democrats who actually are on our side than they are against fascists: people like Mamdani and Platner.

  • The Lesser Evil

    Jump

  • DNC platform is tax the rich, raise minimum wage, and fund social programs.

    And their campaign promises have so much value, clearly.

  • Stocks sell off globally as traders digest Trump message saying he wants Greenland because ‘your Country decided not to give me the Nobel’

    Jump

  • The limpest of limp dick energy.

  • Gov. Walz mobilizes Minnesota National Guard amid heated protests

    Jump

  • Honestly have no idea how that would work out legally.

    Closest thing I can think of is Governor Wallace's stand at the schoolhouse door, when Kennedy called in the national guard to escort a black child to class after integration and for all the theatrics, there was no violence. (And if a state/federal confrontation can achieve that in this case, I think that's the best case scenario.)

    I'm sure others in this sub-lemmy know way more.

  • DOJ says won’t investigate ICE agent’s fatal shooting of Renee Good

    Jump

  • I'm also pretty sure that most law enforcement agencies require all shootings to be investigated. (Not that it always happens of course.)

  • 'Grow a F*cking Spine': Critics Fume as Newsom Backtracks on ICE 'Terrorism' in Ben Shapiro Interview | Common Dreams

    Jump

  • Yup.

  • How is the dude with the equivalent charm of a vomiting donkey in charge?

    Jump

  • And the billionaires.

    They're the ones who ultimately make these decisions.
