I write a lot about #USpol and #MTpol, and therefore I swear a lot. The entirety of the Democratic Party is to the right of me and millions of other Americans. I can’t believe I have to specify this, but all toots are my own thoughts and opinions, not my employer’s. Who would even think that?

“This change comes after celebrities and billionaires voiced concerns over their flight data being too easily accessible online.”

Great, can the rest of us get some kind of bill that limits all these tech shitheads from tracking all our fucking lives? No? Right.

When the oligarchs want something from , they get it within weeks. When the rest of us want something, we’re shit out of luck.

“I could walk out of here, go get a drink and within a week I could be dead. But I’m not interested in doing that”: how Trent Reznor pulled back from the abyss to make Nine Inch Nails’ Year Zero
In 2007, Nine Inch Nails released their fifth album, Year Zero – and Trent Reznor, the man behind it, had finally thrown off his demons

@GatekeepKen I often think about how someone attempted to assassinate Gerald Ford because they thought his campaign was generating too much pollution. It’s pretty unbelievable that not one person in a country of 300 million plus has that kind of beef with Chump. @DemocracyMattersALot

"Dear Mr. Biden

We have been leveling cities, torturing, raping, killing, plundering and abducting children for so long, my army seriously needs a break, before all those western weapons arrive, and we lose the war.

Therefore, I think western countries should give us a breather, so I can replenish my troops and get back to full blown genocide in about 6-12 months.

From Russia with love ♥️

Vladimir Putin"

: ’s Senator will lose this fall, and Republicans will take the Senate.

In each of his previous wins, the margin of victory was razor thin - he can’t afford to lose ANY votes... and yet, in a jaw-dropping and unforced error, there he is on the top ten list of politicians taking money from .

The CEO-to-worker pay gap at America’s largest companies was 344-to-1 last year.

In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1.

This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

@rbreich anyone who entered the workforce after 1974 has been shorted on pay their entire lives. Today, workers are only paid roughly 40% of what their productivity is worth. Adjust your work ethic accordingly, folks.

justices are basically the judicial version of monarchs. They answer to no one, like monarchs. They serve lifetime appointments, like monarchs. They can openly commit crimes, and there are no consequences - just like monarchs.

Chump’s silly Truth Social media company generated less revenue last year ($5 million) than a single Walmart store generates in two days. It never has and never will turn a profit.

The market value for Chump’s company is somehow $6 billion. Very serious, this system we have here. We’re doing great. 👍🏻

I’m a few days late on this, but I suspect that the whole April 20th 420 pot day thing was invented so that kids in the 1960’s/70’s would forget about the Ludlow Massacre.

Every business-savvy executive knows that the best time to ask shareholders for an astronomical payday is when you’ve flushed 40% of the company’s stock value down the toilet in the preceding months. Shareholders love that.

I remember when the Tesla brand was synonymous with innovation.

Now, it is synonymous with casting doubt on the legitimacy of the US justice system in front of your 181 million followers.

@randahl One of my little guilty pleasures is watching Tesla stock fall in direct proportion to how much he embraces extreme-right ideology. Tesla stock is down nearly 40% YTD, which is a jaw-dropping amount for any stock.

Israel is a first-world country that enjoys a GDP-per-capita just below that of Canada. When their enemies lob weapons at them, ten other countries appear out of the woodwork to shield them and shoot down said weapons.

It is BONKERS that anyone, anywhere is talking about sending them “aid”

What is a little white lie you were told as a child, that you believed for too long?

I was way too old when I figured out a human couldn't actually get sucked down a drain or flushed down a toliet. I used to cling to my little brothers, and pull them out of the bath any time my Mum would pull to plug.

@RickiTarr as a child, I was led to believe that being smart was going to matter way, way more than it does. I was well into my adulthood before I finally accepted this.

Chump’s latest grift, the public trading of his cult social media platform, is now down 50% after two weeks of trading.

Truth Social generates as much annual revenue as a typical McDonalds drive through, has three employees, has never had a profitable quarter, and is supposedly somehow worth 3 billion dollars on paper.
