His stock portfolio is still worth more than any of us will see in a hundred thousand lifetimes. Doesn’t feel like an up side.

Even without time zones, 5am is an hour from the end of my work night. I’m absolutely sitting around on my phone at that point. I just looked at the clock and it’s 5:02am, so it legit would have been 5 on the dot when I saw this.

Even if this is true and not just performative bullshit, why should anyone care what he has to say. Plenty of people think it’s horrific, let’s listen to those who didn’t push for it to happen.

I wrote that then decided to actually read the article first instead of commenting on the headline just in case it said something like “Joe said this, but he’s a piece of shit so he should fuck off anyway” but nope. I stand by my original comment.

I take absolutely no comfort in the fact that such an incompetent, stupid, harmful man has been made one of the most powerful people in the world. Twice.

Edit: Don’t get me wrong, if his “inevitable self-destruction” only affected himself that’d be one thing, but he’s done and is going to continue to do a lot of damage. We’ve got dumb cunt politicians over here in Australia who think he’s amazing and are trying to set up their own version of DOGE while government jobs are being destroyed daily. We’ve still got antivax protests flying Trump campaign flags, and I used to work security in a building with a local right-wing politician’s office who had a framed Trump flag on the wall. Trump, the people controlling him and the people enabling him are doing so much damage to everything that no, it’s no comfort at all.

I knew I recognised this guy. Is having tantrums like a fuckin toddler his only strategy?

I’d hoped my last line would convey I was being more light-hearted than pedantic.

No, certainly not. I’m just pointing out that with context this meme template means something very different to what it says on the surface.

Unless OP’s point is that LibreOffice is more functional but much, much worse for society while there are better options just off-screen, in which case fair enough and well played.

So… we supposed to be rooting for Homelander now?

I don’t need an article reporting on something that might happen, I’ll just wait for the one reporting on the thing once it’s happened. That’s where the juicy info will be.

Who cares, fuck Bannon. People worth listening to say it too, let’s talk about them and not give Bannon attention.

I’m not currently confident enough to share anything here, but I’ll be participating. Thanks for doing this.

Jones hasn’t crawled under any rocks, he’s been going strong even with a billion dollar judgement against him and filing for bankruptcy. Infowars is being auctioned off in a week so it might be bought by someone who will just keep him exactly where he is, but he’s been openly setting up a backup business and directing people to it, which he’s said ON AIR he’ll just fold into the existing business if all goes well. His dad has a completely independent supplement company and he’s got completely unaffiliated mates selling his merch.

The only reason he’s less prominent now is because the politicians and the mainstream media in the US are so fucking unhinged that he’s struggling to stay relevant in his niche.

Remember a few years back when we’d have a running gag of saying something violently over the top and adding “in Minecraft” to the end? Some dude on 4chan got arrested for doing that with death threats, and yet for years I’ve been hearing other people, guys with actual political power and platforms, muttering “politically” after way worse shit. It’s a good thing whenever anyone acts on anything it’s a false flag, it’d suck if they ever had to face any consequences.

I finally managed to get into Breath of the Wild the other night after getting it on launch day and never enjoying it. I played 9 hours solid, then had to go to work for a few days, so I’m looking forward to going home more than usual.

Other than that, there’s the seemingly endless hunt for my last 3 Monster Hunter World achievements (only ~480 hours in, so I’m doing ok). Also, I’ve finally got around to trying Suicide Squad, and I kinda dig it so far. Just gotta clear my plate a bit for the PC release of FF16 in a few weeks, but I can almost guarantee I’ll be too stuck into either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom to play it.

No not that extreme. I don’t want a bed with walls, just slightly upturned edges. More like a big dinner plate than a crib.

I was just talking about something like this with my gf last week. I want a big bed with upturned edges (but still big enough to stretch out fully on the flat part) that I can fill with extra cushions and blankets. The image in my head was a bit nicer than a giant dog bed though…

On the Connect app on mobile I get

I could copy it into Firefox easily enough, but if they don’t want me looking at their site then I won’t 🤷‍♀️

Jesus, adblock detectors are one thing, but news sites are even blocking private mode now. People not reading past headlines is enough of a problem already without it being enforced.

Oh man. I liked this post better when I thought it was a good joke.

Well, at least Abbott’s gone and, let’s see… has just been nominated for a position at Fox Corporation’s board of directors by the new Murdoch who appears to want to be worse than the old one. Oh boy.
