If you talk about the problems people actually have, and you suggest solutions without getting distracted by dancing clowns, you win elections. In the US, Zohran Mamdani demonstrated it, and in Hungary, Peter Magyar. The problem is, many politicians are easily distracted. They think they could score points by pointing out problems in the clowns choreography, when they should be talking about their agenda instead.

I’m getting the feeling they just put a dancing clown in front of us so we don’t start talking about real problems and demanding solutions for them. I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the entire Trump presidency is one big distraction. We could be talking about and working towards solutions to societies problems, but now the news cycle is a 24/7 clown show.

Honestly, sounds like a solid plan. The best time to start this would have been a decade ago. The second best time is now. To be fair, we already made good progress into this direction, bit we need to double down, that much has become obvious in the last few weeks.

This is a work of art. Epstein, Bibi, that ghoulish lady… I love it.

Fair point

I have simply blocked a certain user who uploaded a lot of stuff I didn’t like. It was just one user uploading the same type of comic over and over.

As if lines like “Open the fucking straight you crazy bastards!” are so much better.

Take away Iran’s ability to control who continues to receive oil from the gulf region.

Reduce Iran’s ability to monetize passage through the straight.

Reduce Iran’s ability to make money from its oil production.

Encourage other countries to increase pressure on Iran to agree to US terms.

Not saying it’s a good idea, but the thinking behind it seems obvious.

I remember him promoting some crypto bullshit. I guess that didn’t work out as planned.

I read the original article from the New York Times and found it compelling. There are quite a few coincidences that kind of line up, although none of it is hard evidence. But it’s the most reasonable investigation I’ve seen so far.

Recently requested my data from Amazon. I received gigabytes worth of audio files of Alexa commands that I said. You can hear my voice, sometimes music in the background, I even found my previous girlfriend setting timers with Alexa. Years of my life. It’s genuinely unsettling.

I first thought this was a joke about how you can’t fold a sheet of paper more than 7 times.

Ah, The Orb, absolute classic. Sometimes people would get out of their cars to check out our contraption. Their abandoned cars would be found weeks later in the old creek. Good old times.

Let’s do a better job at building cities that have public transportation and safe bike infrastructure. Then people will actually have a choice on how to get around and they don’t need a car. You could still use the car if you want to, but you wouldn’t have to.

My renter complained that her dishwasher was broken. Bought her a new dishwasher. Complaints stopped because dishwasher works.

You - a deviant, horny, kinky, dirty, getting hard on anthropomorphic animal porn.

Me - an art critic, established, respectable, pure, enjoying masterful artwork.

Same. All expensive purchases are made using European online shops. The only time I use Amazon is for cheap fringe stuff that I can’t find anywhere else and where quality doesn’t matter.

Dont let perfect be the enemy of good.

When I’m up at night and I can’t sleep… does that mean that there are monsters nearby?

Shitting on your allies, then asking them for help in the war you recklessly started. Exactly my kind of humor.

I mean, the Iranian regime is still a group of brutal murderers and criminals who should be in jail. But it still brings me some sick joy to watch Trump get his ass handed to him.
