  • Where does the drive to do anything come from?

    Jump

  • I needed this today, so thanks!

    Maybe I can give you something back as I also look in horror at our world "leaders":

    We have been making life better for average people for more than 10,000 years. This, too, shall pass. And those of us who keep trying to make things better for humanity have a long winning record if you look at a big enough picture. Hang in there.

  • I feel like you could go in a sort of Ralph Bakshi-influenced direction from here and create something modern out of it.

    Swords and sorcery feels ripe for some reshaping to me right now.

  • Why do they need this person? Can't their AI do this job?

  • ‘I didn’t vote for this’: A revolt against DOGE cuts, deep in Trump country

    Jump

  • I am so tired of stories about how this isn't what these voters voted for.

    I was told repeatedly that, no, these voters are smart and are not voting against their own interests and how dare I suggest otherwise.

    These voters are morons.

  • Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump—reflecting a dilemma felt by many in rural America.

    It's all clowns all the way down, isn't it?

  • Major restaurant chain closing locations amid $620 million buyout

    Jump

  • Based on how many corps bought out by private equity get stripped for parts and destroyed, I'd say the outcome is relatively similar.

    I would prefer the deaths didn't enrich the oligarchs more, but I am actively trying to pull back my spend on all corporate stuff because of this exact horseshit. Lots of others are, too. Maybe others think I am just pissing in the wind, but at this point I give zero fucks what others think and vote with my wallet until I can vote for people who will regulate this shit like a functioning government is supposed to instead of this reality tv garbage.

  • Oh well.

    I'm a Toys-R-Us kid and I think maybe we didn't need all that fucking plastic.

    We will survive without Grand Slams.

    It's time to put the corporations back on the back burner of Americana.

  • Impeachment articles filed against RFK Jr., claiming abuse of power

    Jump

  • An impeachment process would seem to be a great way to put RFK under a spotlight for this plan. 🤷‍♂️

  • I asked for a suggestion and got back a screed. Let them worry about legislating, then.

    What can you or I do right now instead of whining about their job performance? What could you do in your community? Maybe if you tell me a challenge you want to tackle toward this end, I could tell you one I'd like to take on in mine and we could try to motivate each other.

    This is our chance.

    Jump

  • What would you suggest as a better, more effective, outlet?

    As it stands, you are just commenting on the internet while others are advancing legislation. I am curious what you are doing that is so much more effective that the rest of us should be considering.

  • This reality tv governance makes us and everyone else less safe.

  • <paraphrasing>

    "I monitored Trump failing to deliver on all his promises but it was only once he attacked me, personally, that I decided that mattered."

    I don't know how to react to people that are this detached from reality.

  • EU bans Russian gas imports after last-minute agreement

    Jump

  • Years too late.

    Meanwhile, what support we could muster here in the US from the start continues to wane.

    I hate agreeing with the right, but the EU has wanted this solved for them and only as it becomes obvious that UA can't rely on a country half a world away to save it has the EU actually started to do the work.

    Meanwhile, Europeans throw shit at Americans about all this.

    What the fuck?

    Glad to see this happen, keep going. But damn if it doesn't make y'all look just as shitty and incompetent as us Americans.

    Who is this lament for?

  • Kate Beckinsale claims her daughter's boyfriend has laid 2 eggs: 'It’s a little bit gross'

  • You use a term like "beauty standard" as if this is a real thing that applies to everyone and not something manufactured by an attention-based industry.

    If people believe she is only worth her face, then I guess she is. Except, I don't think everyone thinks like that, even if people (especially those trying to exploit her labor) have made her feel like they do.
