  • Steps to become a billionaire:

    1. Abandon humanity
    2. Step-on children’s smiles
    3. Fund a feasibility study on turning poor into fuel
    4. Second study to prove those idiots in the first study wrong
    5. Replace gym equipment in second home with dogs you can kick and hit for exercise. The dogs must be trained service animals in active service to people who need them. You bankrupt those people at great personal expense and then you buy their dogs for pennies.
    6. Lunch
    7. Become billionaire
    8. Take cool pictures with swords. Don’t show nobody.
    9. Abandon humanity
    10. Something kardashian related



  • Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm

    “In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman’s mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in “conspiratorial thinking”, “megalomania”, rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan.”

    Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children’s programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he’s erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.

    Plain and simple… She was a woman, and a black person - There will be months of tap dancing and “deep” analysis, but we’re just an ugly, atrophied, broken, racist and patriarchal nation, like deep down in our DNA. We were able to elect Obama, yes - he is half white, and a man (those weren’t the loud messages as they attacked him, but Pennsylvania gramma knew those things quietly when she pulled the lever for him). It’s not satisfying, but it’s just the plain truth here. We’re closer to getting over race than we are over sex.

    Plenty of deliberate work has been done, mostly by republicans, to keep America stupid, poor and in untreated pain, yes… But we’re also just trash on the whole. We raise trash and we vote for trash. We just aren’t smarter than social algorithms, TV soap opera narratives, costumes and makeup. “The pretend business man is white, old, wears a tie and has a gold watch. He feels like how daddy felt when I was little, and when things are bad, daddy fixed them the way I remember it.”

    Video game trolls, people who failed the cop application physical and triple DUI wine moms are America. No further explanation or analysis needed.




  • Nobody contends that a “word is inherently bad”? The stance is generally that certain words have been used to propagate hate and violence on certain populations. Those populations then have real associated trauma so words are avoided in most conversations. Many are still used in actual relevant academic or regulatory context.

    A knife isn’t inherently bad, but you shouldn’t show up to the funeral of a stabbing victims with a hunting knife in either hand to give your condolences to the family.
