We’d long used the metaphor of chess to describe the methodologies of liberals and sniped at conservatives for playing checkers. Damien clarifies that they are indeed playing chess, but don’t give two shits about the rules. #politics #ethics #strategery

Dear CNN app,
Repeatedly airing HBO Max promos over and over and over, day after day after day, does not increasingly pique our interest. It enrages and sickens us, making us hate seeing it. Please diversify. Then again, Ellison.
Sincerely,

Hoo boy. What a clusterfuck. #ElonMusk is nothing more than a grifter, and people are still believing his bullshit… and paying him ungodly sums for the privilege?! The #SpaceX IPO is just the latest of these shenanigans. #crapitalism #xitter #cybertruck #fraud

The #LegalEagle is clearly upset. We should all be this enraged at this blatant corruption and outright theft of tax payer monies to, er… do whateverthefuck they want, to pay whomever they please, and could even be used to fund a coup. #uspol #TFG #8647

“Stupid person does stupid thing in stupid car” I’m (not) shocked!: If everything stupid #ElonMusk has said/done/proposed/lied about wasn’t enough, the #Cybertruck is the stupid gift that keeps on giving more and more stupid, and its owners are no less stupid. #cars #stupid #tesla #idiocracy

MUSH, a MASH-inspired #Filmation cartoon I managed to get three minutes into this before stopping. Insanely bad limited #animation. Constant use verbal tics. An opening that is nigh incomprehensible. Terrible gags. Even the laugh track seems unenthused. How long can you watch? #cartoons #TV

We don’t have enough time to enact the fixes necessary to mitigate the fallout from Q-day: #QuantumComputing technology improves apace, and at some point, maybe soon, it’ll crack all encryption. As with #ClimateChange, we’ve blown well past the point of safe return. #tech #societalcollapse
