a functional government would have just shot this motherfucker

the cassandra medal for the worst kind of being right

putting Willems in the same bucket as fucking CinemaSins is a travesty, this guy's problem is just that he's stupid

It makes me so fucking angry to see all those settlers having a beach day like nothing is fucking going on

every year is dumber than the year before it and I was wondering how we were going to maintain that growth, like surely there's only so much pure stupidity to go around? we have to be bumping up against the limits, right? scraping the stupid out of metaphorical tar sands and deep-water wells

oh me of little faith. innovation™ has brought us artificial stupidity and now there are no barriers, we're going to get dumber faster than mankind has ever before dreamed possible

they might have to hire people, and then train them

gross

Living people
are soft and tender.
Corpses are hard and stiff.
The ten thousand things,
the living grass, the trees,
are soft, pliant.
Dead, they’re dry and brittle.
So hardness and stiffness
go with death;
tenderness, softness,
go with life.
And the hard sword fails,
the stiff tree’s felled.
The hard and great go under.
The soft and weak stay up.

Lao Zi (LeGuin trans.)

I keep having this moment over and over this week

This story, the girl in the car, the girl hanging shredded from a wall, the bomb craters in a tent city in the 'safe zone'

million year old cracker liches all look alike

taking the bank's money and turning it into stuff on a scale that makes them afraid to foreclose on you just sounds like winning at capitalism

welp, we finally found something worse than those people who wanted to put billboards in space. the entire tech industry needs to face the fucking wall

Good start. But give Hamas a nuke, Kim
