lol ok, Oklahoma. Go for it. Have fun. Throw Molotovs at the radars that literally save your lives in tornado season. You’re only going to decrease your own population. And I’m genuinely past caring at this point.

Yeah. As well as the US’s often world-leading position in research, development, science, and education. Brain drain is happening as we speak. Maybe it’s a thing that needs to happen. Idk. But I am seriously looking at shooting for a position at a biotech somewhere in the EU.

Enjoy the day you voted for, Texas

You need to understand that the cohort of American users on this platform overwhelmingly agree with you on a lot of the deficiencies of our countrymen. You’re preaching to the choir here.

TACO

What book or series is this from?

No, dipshit, you voted for all of this - you were (in the most charitable case) just too fucking dumb and incurious to understand what the fuck you were voting for

Don’t tempt me with a good time

Huh, looks like my days of having absolutely zero interest in going to Dubai are coming to a middle

You’re assuming the ICErs give a shit about warrants, and they often do not.

TL;DR buckle up for some fun food insecurity issues that will start showing up in the US in the coming months.

Remember: at any given moment, all of society is nine missed meals away from complete anarchy.

I’m low key pretty concerned about Mamdani’s safety - between (essentially official, government-supported) expressions of stochastic terrorism, to weaponization of immigration law and enforcement, to straight up assassination attempts by far right wing-nuts, I will honestly be very pleasantly surprised if he makes it to the election without someone trying something pretty serious.

And to be clear, I do hope he makes it to the election, and wins, and that his term as mayor makes it blindingly obvious to the vast majority of people that Mamdani’s tactics are the clear way forward. I’m also just fully aware that we’re in the “kicking and screaming” phase with reactionaries, and that those same people are running shit now.

More broadly: you may have heard of this ideology referred to previously as “Christian Dominionism”. Which, imo, has been a clear and present existential danger to - and a strongly negative influence on - the integrity of American culture and politics since the Bush era.

I’m genuinely past caring at this point. This is the “find out” part. Enjoy the day you voted for, Texas.

Rich people:

we can’t freeze rents!

Renters:

why the fuck not?

Mamdani:

well, we can, actually.

Renters:

voting noises

Rich people:

sad capitalism noises

And/or the FSB

Honestly, it’s constituencies like Cruz’s that I have essentially zero sympathy for. The fact that he keeps getting reelected when he’s an extremely obvious limpdick, servile, malicious fascist is a reflection on the caliber of the voters across the state. So, hope you enjoy all those catastrophic weather events that are definitely not caused by totally-made-up-and-definitely-not-real-or-life-threatening climate change (/s because internet)

This is what I fight against every goddamn day, and I get yelled at for fighting against it, but I’m not going to stop. I want to build shit that I can largely forget about (because, you know, it’s reliable and logically extensible and maintainable) after it gets to a mature state, and I’m not shy about making that known. This has led to more than a few significant conflicts over the course of my career. It has also led to me saying “I fucking told you so” more than a few times.
