Assuming the serious drug bust pose around toilet paper is meant to be a joke - that’s pretty funny.

I mean, Donnie boy done annihilated Iran 16 times. How much more winning you need? Pretty soon he going to be annihilating them with canon balls cause all the missiles got used up in the previous annihilations.

America over here calling up bestiality bros to fill FBI vacancies. Everything is under control under the reign of King Don’s stable genius.

That’s always been the game. It’s why America toppled Iran’s democracy back in the 50s.

How many times Donnie Small-hands gonna “Annihilate Iran” ?

We’ve already annihilated, we can’t annihilate any farther.

Facial recognition should never be a basis for arrest. It should only ever be used to narrow results and point an officer down a path to get concrete evidence. Facial recognition algorithm output should not be admissible as evidence.

It’s individuals versus complex organizations and systems designed by the powerful. The blitz of complex systems is designed to disconnect and distract. Tax code, investing, politics, insurance, legal - everything is so complex to advantage the powerful with the means to maneuver and manipulate the systems. I think people are drowning to keep up in the maelstrom of things competing for attention. The disconnection and distraction is by design.

To go deeper - I would say stealing labor is what the powerful have always done. They found a new way to steal it, but it’s the same old playbook. We create, they take the majority of the value generated and act like they’re doing us a favor. Power is a parasitic enterprise.

Intellectual property is a fairly recent concept and a lot of the information stolen does not impact the deceased people who created it’s lives or older work that was mostly already compensated in the past era. This makes the impact much smaller in my opinion - not to say it’s not also very impactful. Slavery has been stealing labor for all of human history.

Imagine the pettiest you have ever felt towards someone in your life - an X who hurt you, a friend who betrayed you, etc. Now imagine that is the drive behind your entire personality - pure narcissistic greed and envy. That’s who Trump is. Anyone who can’t or won’t aggrandize or flatter him is an enemy.

If you are ever near Fort Wayne Indiana, stop in. They are just as cool in person and their show room is awesome.

I would love to see the winner get on stage and promote a free Palestine between every song just to spite the zionist billionaires and their capitulators.

I mean, slavery comes to mind….

Hate is a multi-billion dollar business in America. The capital class spends obscene amounts of money to keep people hating each other and stoke the culture war. It’s the evolution of the old school union busting on the 1900s.

I don’t think anyone not living in America understands how deeply propaganda is pushed here across media and culture. The ruling class has distorted everything so much it’s hard to have a coherent conversation with most people on real issues. The misinformation and capital class talking points are intensely deep seated.

Billionaires are societal cancer. One person should not have unelected power at the scale a billionaire does. They need to be removed.

I’m tired of this notion that society must protect children from reality. If parents want to raise their kids in stupid sheltered worlds, that’s their stupid fucking choice and should go no further than their choices for their kids. Sheltering children is a stupid concept. Parents should be explaining the crazy shit kids will see and give them a healthy way to absorb the bad in the world not trying to act like it doesn’t exist. We shouldn’t have to bend over backwards to capitulate to their idea of how a kid should be raised. I shouldn’t have to give up my privacy to prop up their fantasy. Personally, every kid I’ve seen be sheltered ends up a more fucked up adult. The world is fucked, kids should learn how to live in it.

Joe Rogan is dumb. Why do we care about dumb guy opinions exactly?

I hear a lot of stories of lower mid level acts just giving up on touring - which after the collapse of album sales was the only way to make money. As with everything, corporate parasites slowly extract all value leaving the actual people doing the work with less and less.
