Speaking as someone who hates Donald Trump as much as anyone could who hasn't been directly harmed by his actions, behavior, or policies, I honestly wish that whoever it was that tried to kill him last Saturday had stayed home.

Look, the guy is in his late seventies and lives on burnt steaks and fast food. Death will embrace him soon enough as it is. But now he has sympathy points, and anything that gives Donald Trump sympathy points is bad on general principle. If the shooter had succeeded in killing him, it would have made him a martyr, and Donald Trump doesn't deserve that.

I don't want him sent to the grave prematurely. I want his reputation assassinated. I want his power, his wealth, and his freedom stripped from him. I want everyone who ever supported him to wonder in shame why they did it.

that crunchy vibe that 70s/80s movies have that modern movies simply cannot capture… that kind of quiet empty vibe to em that can be played for either bleakness or a peaceful energy… why do all modern movies (even the great and pretty ones) feel overproduced after watching an older film. what is it I can’t put my finger on it but it’s there I can feel it

As it happens, as I was watching this video, I'll Take You There by the Staple Singers was playing on the radio, and it looked like the water was dancing to it

Perfect standing wave on a computer-controlled wave pool

Yesterday's conservative politician was the sort of person you could count on to do the right thing after he had exhausted all other options. Today's conservative politician doesn't even count doing the right thing among his options.

So Bezos is about to become history's first trillionaire. You know, I don't begrudge him creating the Amazon business model, and I don't even think it's wrong to get rich doing it. But for what he's "worth" he can afford to pay his workers a wage with full benefits that they can live on comfortably even in today's housing market. He could also solve world hunger, and do it still without ever wanting for anything as long as he lives. Instead, he's playing astronaut and having the world's most expensive dick measuring contest with Musk and Branson. And no one's calling him out on it.

And while I'm at it, stop blaming Biden for the high gas prices and stop calling it inflation. It's price-gouging and it's the fault of corporate greed.

i support universal free healthcare for one simple reason: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you should quit your job. quitting your job is the correct response to terminal illness. but you can’t do that if your healthcare is tied to your job

I'm getting older, and I'm aware that people have expectations of a man my age that I'm just not mature enough to live up to. I just wish I knew what they were so I could fucking own it

“wouldn’t you rather earn something than have it just handed to you?”

Yeah when it comes to actual awards and fancy goods, but when it comes to basic needs, basic human decency, and accomodations, those things should always be handed to people. No one should have to “earn” those things.Value people as people, not base it on how much they produce.
