NO HE FUCKING ISN'T HE HASN'T INNOVATED ANYTHING HE'S NOT AN ENTREPRENEUR HE'S A FUCKING VULTURE CAPITALIST

okay well, West Virginia wants coal mines (for reasons which will never make sense to me). It doesn't matter how angry you get, it doesn't matter if you vote Democrat or Republican or Libertarian, some things just aren't coming back because that's how the linear nature of time works. So how do we get through to those people that change and progress for the future is a good thing?

Republicans don't work in good faith on anything, ever. How many times must Lucy yank the football away before you figure that out, Charlie Brown?

how do I get the Satanic Temple to sponsor an After School Satan Club at my kids' school? they need all the help finding the cool, compassionate, sane kids they can get to be friends with.

conventional wisdom says progress is a "two steps forward, one step back" process, but lately it seems a lot like a "two steps backward, one giant leap backward" process.

Republicans are keeping the abortion issue away from voters because they already know what the national consensus is.

I hate people.

sooooo when am I gonna get it?

what the fuck, I thought he was clean? didn't they say there were no drugs at the scene?

[slow clap]

I told y'all people can't afford 20 different subscriptions. the whole reason cable TV was invented was because nobody can afford this shit a la carte (mostly cause y'all try to charge the same or more for one channel as it costs for the whole bundle).

this is also the shortest Morning excerpt I think I've ever seen... usually you get kind of a preview summary of the whole article, including the conclusions it comes to. this time they're like "you might think Dobbs happened because a bunch of anti-abortion activist judges were appointed by a wannabe dictator to pursue a decades-long conservative goal... it's complicated, read the article."

obviously alito leaked the draft. he's leaked opinions before, he had motive to cement votes in place, and there's the fact that the investigation into the leaker abruptly stopped with no result and no one being punished. all of these justices lied in their confirmation hearing when they promised to uphold roe and alito was the first.

THAT'S LITERALLY ALL ROADS WHAT THE FUCK

so much for "hey Ohio did the right thing protecting abortion access, maybe it's finally getting its head out of its ass"

also I recall a trans YouTuber being confused about memes condemning trans folks to live in Ohio, hope this clears things up

(a) I feel like if that was the case we would have just re-elected Trump
(b) the two things are not necessarily related. more likely people agree with his defense of democracy but they're just pissy in general that he can't wave a magic wand and solve all our problems
(c) if they DO want an authoritarian, then... too fucking bad, no, you can't turn this country into Russia 2.0. Americans shouldn't always get what they want.

I thought we already knew this? hcg, the hormone that makes pee stick pregnancy tests pop a positive, that surges in the first trimester as the placenta forms.

delightful news. 🙃

I do not give the tiniest of fucks what the stock market does. the stock market is not a reflection of how well workers are doing. tell me when the Fed makes a decision and WAGES surge.
