Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Annual operating income this year $1.5 billion.

Like they wouldn’t be absolutely fine with being a minority party. They’re comfortable, and they expect to stay that way no matter what.

You should still say fuck no. Any deal she makes to get a pardon will involve naming no politically unfavourable names - no Trump, none of his cultists, none of his P2025 apparatchiks, none of his billionaire buddies.

It’ll be Clintons first, then anyone else who has ever spoken out against his cult. Bet me a thousand real dollars. Bet me anything you like, I’ll give you ten to one odds.

That is a difficulty. Sometimes you take a risk with a joke, and if people don’t like it? Guess what, they’re right. Humour is subjective.

We’re a pretty neurodivergent crowd. I thrive in sarcasm, but a lot of us come with different care instructions

Dear diary,

Today someone was sarcastic on Lemmy and people liked it. Big day for the fediverse.

I’m pretty sure democracy will die way before comedy this time

It’s a mistake to think they’re all comedically stupid. They’re definitely stupid enough that we wouldn’t enjoy their company, but they’re smart enough to know that if they can hang around until DT dies, whoever’s left will become something even more dangerous - and far more malleable.

In Tienanmen Square, somebody stood in front of the tanks.

That all-important eighth mover advantage that they teach in business school

I bet these ass burps would be partial to a USS Eddie Gallagher.

I don’t know half the people you mentioned

Oh interesting. So cops shouldn’t shoot at people in the course of ceasing criminal activity orrrr

It almost makes me miss the first term when he had no plan

It’s not even as funny as my username 😮‍💨

It takes scarce vision to see that we are now striding through the pages of history, a time when nary a kind word will be written of those who said “not me”, or “business as usual”. In the quieter years of our twilight, children will hear of the troubles we faced and plaintively ask “why didn’t anyone do anything?” And the only ones among that crowd of elders who can stand tall will be the few, indeed, who had gumption.

The one that looks like SNES but in the shape of a PS4 controller? I got that too but it has these funny back buttons I have no idea what to do with. Otherwise very happy

I don’t think it’s impossible to fix campaign finance - elected officials don’t want to have to constantly be chasing payola in the campaign finance arms race. It’s just hard to change a paradigm from the inside.

You know I thought I recalled something like that. I was commenting while sleepy, I remember talking about how Netanyahu preferred Trump and was trying to make Biden eat shit. I guess recognising Jerusalem bought Trump that treatment.

Money talks. You want democrats who act normal about Israel, fix campaign finance. The Israel lobby did this.
