Don't you think that by now, the corporate social media companies would let us rank whose posts we actually see in our feeds instead of showing completely random stuff from all of our mutuals with no rhyme or reason? Like, we could have categories for "Good Friends," "Funny People" and "People Who Sometimes Yell At Me In All Caps" 🤔

Boy, with all the bad things going on right now, people have forgotten how awful teenagers are, ever think about that? Lol, imagine having to deal with a teenager while inflation is making you more broke every minute and the US empire is collapsing and we're waiting for WWIII to start, just imagine how much that would suck😂

If I end up in hell, it'll be in a dentist's waiting room with Steely Dan playing on the overheads and nothing to read but the March Madness issue of Sports Illustrated

@WaevetSmaevets - Yep, it's definitely healthy to get away from this stuff. Besides, the disinformation is coming in a tsunami.

One thing that's definitely true is that the Dems are going to have to do a lot better than the usual "weather the storm" and "stay the course" if they don't want to become completely extinct. If they continue to allow the bloodsucking ghouls who run this country to keep citizens feeling completely scared/stressed, the low-info lumpen will be glad to try Adolph Drumpy again just to see what'll change. It's the economy, stupid.

I think most people in this country would really, really appreciate just having a few days with absolutely nothing completely stupid popping up out of nowhere

Yesterday I learned that I can't write the term "Counter Social" on Facebook when posting a link. I thought that was, um, interesting.

I'm not ready to call the Republicans a "party in disarray", not at all. As always, the minute they decide on their presidential candidate, the ghoulish dark money mutants will make sure they all fall into lockstep like they do every time, without a single exception.

The Hamas offensive was what the CIA calls "blowback" for countless crimes perpetrated by the Israelis against the Palestinians.

Americans who only get their "news" from the MSM are shocked over the events because they receive nothing but vetted imperial disinformation. The fact is that most American citizens live in a real-life Matrix; it's not just the disinformed MAGA troglodytes.

Centrists: Voters who get all their news from their local TV stations, Yahoo & the Today Show.

Center-leftists: Voters who get their news from MSNBC, NYT, & the Daily Show.

Leftists: Rarely if ever get their news from the MSM.

MAGAs: Can't spell "their news" correctly.

In August, even Biden admitted the Inflation Reduction Act did nothing.

- Inflation up 15%
- Cost of groceries up 20%
- US gas prices up 61%
- research into new potential medical treatments stopped
- launch prices of new drugs expected to rise

Um right, so, aside from giving tax subsidies to oil companies, what was the point of it? 🤔

Thanks but I won't be going to see the new Exorcist movie. I can already tell from the previews that it's just a Transformers movie but with a little girl swearing. Hollywood doesn't do pacing anymore, just random spazzing, mawkish anime "human connectivity" and random spaces of badly written "humorous dialog" in between. Stanley Kubrick would be laughed out of the city if he tried stuff like The Shining or Full Metal Jacket today.
Other than that, sure, pea soup totally rules!

@EnochianEntropy - They were definitely afraid of common working people in general, whom they referred to as "the people out of doors" and "the many headed hydra." It inspired them to build a system that went a bit overboard in putting in protections for the elites' minority interests. Sinema and Manchin denied the will of the overwhelming majority by voting against a sane minimum wage increase and fighting climate change.

California has more residents than the 19 least-populated states, not including DC. CA has 2 US senators, the 19 lowest-populated states have 38.

Until the 17th Amendment passed in 1913, voters couldn't even choose their own senators.

So I'm just wondering, like, what sort of "democracy" did the framers actually want? 🤔

Trump is reportedly worth $2.5 billion. His father gave him $413 million or so during his lifetime via various schemes and frauds. If Trump had simply put this money into a low-cost S&P index fund, he would probably have somewhere around $10 billion today.
