No no no. You can own a gun to defend yourself, but you can’t use the gun to defend yourself if you’re not part of the in-group.

Otherwise, you’re withholding profits from the corporations that sell the guns.

Santos is now offering 55% off his Cameo videos, meaning for $150, he will record himself saying just about anything.

I wonder if you could pay him $150 to admit he threatened a reporter.

While I certainly understand someone who feels threatened and doesn’t want to become another cautionary tale about misjudging fascists capacity for murder, I’m concerned that the exodus of people who oppose the regime just further solidifies their hold.

It also increases the risk for those left behind who can’t leave.

If you’re leaving because you expect to die if you stay, then godspeed to you. If you’re leaving because you’d rather go someplace where you can pretend it doesn’t affect you, then fuck you.

US criticism:

“No. No. Not like that. Like this!”

Uptight Europeans are too focused on their own shitting to offer a nice how-do-you-do to the person in the next stall!

Americans aren’t so privacy obsessed that we wouldn’t be working to offer someone a handshake while on the shitter. Maybe a little bit of footsie under the stall walls. It’s all just being friendly.

I posted above, but it is a real product:

Sounds like I’m not going to remember how shitty life is, so I guess I can be optimistic about that.

Oops, did Alabama forget to add “totally not to disenfranchise brown people” to their bill?

He has one, but he keeps changing his location. Sometimes he’s on one chair then another, then the floor.

Right back at ya

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The only job that I am 100% certain could be successfully offloaded onto an AI is CEO.

Consider also that some US Christian Nationalists are descended from people who left Britain for freedom from the national religion.

Europe dumped all their assholes and prudes in North America, and then they’re surprised that it turns to shit.

Yes, and we get to hear about it and complain about it and decide if that private company deserves to die as a result.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. That means Meta can kick people off their platform for saying things they don’t like, and it also means that we can collectively decide Meta should cease to exist.

[checking my notes to see what happened to the last guy we put in charge of Iran]

Make it a fee based on vehicle mass and miles driven, have it apply to all vehicles and eliminate the gas tax.

Worse. He thinks he’s the equivalent to Samuel L. Jackson!

That isn’t an angry look for a cat. That’s a chill look.

Eyes open wider for angry in order to gather targeting information.

The best Steven Seagal movie I’ve ever seen, really the only good one, was Executive Decision.

Like other Steven Seagal movies, you see he’s in it, and you groan and think, “this is going to suck.” Then 20 minutes into the movie he’s killed off, and you can relax and enjoy the rest.

It makes it easier for them to identify future candidates for public office.
