America’s obesity epidemic is a function of our car culture. This is the only country on God’s green Earth that feels putting in sidewalks is a moral failure.

It really is that simple. I wish I had received this kind of support.

Also, I can protest and play XBOX with Wendy’s.

Then keep it going. Have California, New York, New Jersey, and Michigan all pass state laws that require EnergyStar compliance.

There is no international market anymore; if an American manufacturer wants to sell their products, they’ll match the requirements and regulations of the biggest markets for them. Nobody will be able to afford undercutting anymore, which means nobody will be able to afford to lose any market share.

“Vagrancy”? Good lord it really is the 1920s again.

All of Trump’s beliefs are malleable and for sale. Hell, he used to call Elon Musk a bootlicker. All it took to gain his unending respect was a sack with a dollar sign on it.

Children can be criminals. Have you ever read Oliver Twist? /s

I am a natural citizen of Usonia and I fucking gasp every time I hear through the grapevine that someone from a(n) (formerly) allied nation took the risk to travel here. I understand that most don’t have much choice, but my home is unrecognizable to me now.

Don’t come here, and I am saying this as someone who benefits from Canadian tourism. I have a deep, long-time love and appreciation for the Canadian people and their First Nations — it breaks my heart to even say so, but please, for your own safety, do not come here!

I am struggling to get my fellow Americans to understand that in WW2, we built concentration camps for Japanese people and were detaining them in these numbers. Everyone just wistfully calls them “internment camps.”

I don’t know what the fuck is wrong with this culture but we are just perennially unable to recognize things for what they are. It’s like we have this built-in need to be lied to. If the government doesn’t do it, we brew up our own homemade lies.

The one thing about a low replacement rate that brings me comfort is knowing that the very material realities of our world agonize white supremacists every second of every day.

Honestly I wonder how long it’ll take before these goobers just lock the doors of Congress during a recess with a U-lock.

God, what the fuck else is new? That has been every day since January, man.

Yup. I hope she stays safe. She seems especially sane.

Y’know, every day, I think I realize more and more that the guys doing generative AI search optimization are the real geniuses. If you can bake a biased statement into a gigantic model, I guess it’s pretty difficult to ever get it out specifically.

All the anti-2a people have accomplished is to help the fascists into power and render themselves helpless against them.

Fascism is here, and the Second Amendment has never once been restricted in any practical fashion. That means that fascism rose to power while everyone was fuckin strapped. Nobody has done shit so far except that one kid in Butler who was a bad shot.

What do you still need so that you’d have been a genuine threat to the world’s global military hedgemon? A personal F-15 Eagle?

Speaking as an American…

I dunno if this is anyone else but me, but, in the US this weekend, I heard a radio advertisement on our local Clear Channel / CBS station that was just a guy without music, forcefully stating that “tariffs are a matter of national security.”

That was honestly so surreal that I wasn’t sure if I had imagined it.

Yay Canada

My understanding is that he never actually paid out any of that money he promised to voters.
