Podcaster Tim Pool said no-fault divorce is “ruining relationships,” on an episode where he cites Jordan Peterson and jokes that, “maybe we would just be better if, I don’t know, women just had to wear red dresses and bonnets.”

I know what would actually make the world a better place, but I can’t say it here.

And in case you haven’t been paying attention, the Trump fascists want to undo all that with Project 2025.

My 12 year old Subaru still runs like a top. I plan on driving it forever.

They need to be launched into the fucking sun, but counter harassment is a good start.

Hiring the Pinkertons to harass your enemies has historically worked great for US companies, maybe these colleges should take those huge fucking endowments they are sitting on & try a variation of that.

After all, you’ve got to speak to people in a language they can understand.

I’ve boycotted Ubisoft for so long I’ve forgotten why I started the boycott originally.

Haven’t missed a damn thing.

If you’re not traveling, $7 at my local Publix’s butcher can buy you some decent sushi or a fish & vegetable entree w/ either salmon or talapia that cooks in 17-18 minutes.

These networks should be air-gapped from the internet. Full fucking stop.

I know the largest local power company in my area has (had?) a completely separate fiber network for monitoring & WAN communications, because I helped design it.

It’s way past time to break Alphabet up into smaller companies.

I support this Pipe Dream.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a Congress that will vote to limit its own power.

Think for yourself.

“Why is the political party that actively wants to destroy our institutions ok with destroying our institutions?”

That’s your question, reframed.

If you want a real answer, it’s because Roe v. Wade “was” settled law & the Democrats are a “big tent” party with a lot of disparate views that always don’t mesh together. They should be 3 parties working as a collation, but our stupid FPtP election system won’t allow that.

Following that, note which party has made RCV illegal in 5 states.

This falsehood has been a right-wing talking point all the way back since 2013.

When Obama had “Total Control” of Congress

Lies are easy to get away with if they are repeated often enough and given voice by many different people. Repeat a lie often enough and that lie often becomes conventional wisdom. Repeating a lie doesn’t change the lie into the truth, it changes the people hearing the repeated lie. They begin to accept the lie as truth. One huge example: ‘Iraq has WMD.’

…

The truth…then…is this: Democrats had “total control” of the House of Representatives from 2009-2011, 2 full years. Democrats, and therefore, Obama, had “total control” of the Senate from September 24, 2009 until February 4, 2010. A grand total of 4 months.

Did President Obama have “total control” of Congress? Yes, for 4 entire months. And it was during that very small time window that Obamacare was passed in the Senate with 60 all-Democratic votes.

Did President Obama have "total control’ of Congress during his first two years as president? Absolutely not and any assertions to the contrary…as you can plainly see in the above chronology…is a lie.

Is it 64 bit yet?

Those morons just closed their only “indie” Japanese studio.

Xbox is no longer a serious console, just get a PC.

More of the progress Trump wants to stop.

Just a matter of time before we have another Kent State.

But look at the front page of Reddit,

Well, there is your first mistake, thinking Reddit is organic.

You’re quite taking money out of the local economy & giving it to the modern equivalent of a dragon to horde.

That’s why.
