As good as this is, I still don't trust it. Trump and his cronies who own that board will get their hands on it eventually.

I don’t think so - from what I understand algorithms are on the level of the coca a cola recipe for tech companies.   


Also fun note : severe grindr crash in the area of the CK memorial last nights

My favorite fun fact -- whenever there's a big Republican event, Grindr usage soars and crashes the server.

They're 3 for 3 at this point. CPAC, RNC and now the AZ Kirk Memorial. Mass hog event indeed.


They're longform but still worth a watch if you have the time.

Who fucking gives a shit about that kook CK?! This memorial was so trashy and posturing might as well have been a WWF event. Whenever someone dies unexpectedly or murdered you'd think there's a grace period of silent mourning, maybe a select few celebration low-key of course. Not this fucking guy let's go full on 4th of July with this garbage rhetoric, wouldn't be surprised if Roseanne and that Canadian kook came out or kid Rock! Wasn't most of his supporters incel women haters? Hard to imagine they'd support his wife let alone listen to her, gotta get that influencer 💰. What a bunch of smooth brains.

[TheLurper]

Well that was obvious. I wonder what Sinclair and Nextstar will run instead.

Every day we’re getting closer and closer to real life idiocracy.

I hate this shit.

I work at a corporate coffee chain again, one that is famous for its fall flavors, and apparently MAGA idiots are rolling through ordering Charlie Kirk’s go-to, one of our teas with two honey packets to… ?? Own the libs? Tempt one of the baristas to write something smarmy on the cup and get fired? To pay tribute to their recently departed piece of shit?
I don’t understand these people at all. It’s all so fucking stupid.

If they're ordering in person, ask for their name, if they say Charlie Kirk (and happen to pay by CC) say that the same doesn't match the card and now you have to see ID. Then use the name on their ID/card. If they then tell you to still use the CK name, say there's a corporate rule that due to laws in some states, we cannot use preferred names/pronouns and must use what's on a government ID.

[nh_trip]

wish i could shout this from the mountain tops for the people that idolize him but I went to a party when I was 23 in NYC and I was probably a couple years older than everyone else so I guess everyone was like 21 or 22? but jesse waters was running around in the background of the party going from the bathroom to the one of the bedrooms with his production assistant who was a mutual acquaintance who was like 21 at the time. We were all weirded out that this pathetic old guy (old to us at the time) was like lurking around in the background. I can confirm he was also a huge douche when I asked him what his deal was lol.

Sounds complicated. Just spit into the coffee.

I was brainstorming on offering a peppermint shot and claiming I meant to say pump. I’m not trying to get fired. It’s hard finding a gig.

My coworker is going down the Kirk conspiracy rabbit hole. Apparently he was shot from behind with a 5.56.

The only conspiracy I can get behind is they sacrificed the guy for a power grab.

Quite literally no. "Owning the libs" is their identity now. Even if it's for the smallest, dumbest thing possible.

At the very least they were waiting for a situation they could weaponize, and this one just fell in their lap

But to be real, a lot of shit with this case doesn’t make sense.  The Trump Butler attempt and this latest ICE shooting don’t make sense either.  When you realize the stakes involved, even the wildest conspiracy theories stays to look more and more plausible. Real deal New World Order shit is going on

If it was me, I’d start calling that order the conservative tears or possibly the empa-tea.

Predictably Brazil is exporting more soy beans and American farmers aren't getting any pre-orders from China. Lucky, us we get to bail out the people who voted for Trump's policies, because they're only supposed to hurt city folk, not rural folk.

Yay, its official, Trump killed off exports for American farmers and WE get to pay the farmers.

Weird, who could have seen this coming. It isn't like the exact same thing happened last time he was in office.

We made Brazil strong at the cost of our soy bean industry.

And, while we are letting thousands and thousands die due to "not waiting to give foreign aid." We are going to give 20 billion to Agentina to support Milie's cruel experiment.

Yay. Our cost of living goes up, the economy slows, hiring slows, all so we can let the poorest people die, pay a regressive tax to those who voted in Trump, and we can pay taxes to Argentina's neo-liberal nightmare.

The problem is these farmers got screwed in the same fashion back in 2017 by Trump and, again, they blame the “gubbamint” without making the connection that Trump is the “gubbamint.” Which is why they will vote for him again.

I say let them fail and let them lose their farms. They can sell them and work those fields as an employee.
