Sounds like a vague concept of a band idea, but not an actual plan yet. Maybe they should just call themselves Sybian.

Nope. Still means the same thing, describes the same people.

I’ve had the opposite experience. Old people fart all the time and just don’t give a shit. Unless middle age is what you mean by “older”, in which case I agree.

Times, they have changed. I was the same, as were most of the people I went to school with. Pocket knifes are just handy, I still carry one most of the time.

70 per cent of those swept up boast rap sheets.

Huh? Where the hell did the article get that number from. Every source I’ve seen previous says 14-15% have a record. And aside from that, even if their made up number were true, it doesn’t justify the way ICE is conducting their terror campaign.

100% propaganda seems about right.

I’ve said similar about Hillary winning in 2016. Republicans were already drawing up articles of impeachment. trump or no trump, the country had already fallen into a shithole sewer and was barely keeping it’s head above water. Still would have been nice to see Sanders get the nod. Just for some glimmer of hope.

Just hope the team you’re rooting for is playing in Mexico or Canada. Fuck the US.

I was just up in Santa Ana yesterday (the foam store on Main Street), and I don’t know if it was me projecting, but it sure seemed like the vibe of the area is a lot different than I remember.

The tl;dr is:

1. That dementia riddled shithead Reagan changed the law to allow companies to buy back stock. This is classic stock manipulation and was illegal before that piece of shit was elected by the same degenerate demographics that are fucking up shit today.
2. Billionaires will “borrow” say, $100 million dollars, using their stock as collateral. Now they only have to pay the interest, low single digits, instead of actual income tax.

And a key quote from the article:

As a result, loopholes abound that allow the wealthy to shelter their money from taxation. These mechanisms are so effective that even though the wealthiest 1% of Americans own $50 trillion, the entire amount collected by the estate tax in 2024 was about $30 billion, an amount that Musk has gained and lost in a day.

I mean, sure, sometimes you want to prosecute and there’s just not enough there to justify it. It happens. But shit like this, there should be some type of blow back. Six people went on camera to state what the actual god damn law is, and Pirro tries to have them indicted for that? Abuse of power or something. Fuck I wish these fucks had consequences.

I know it doesn’t really apply anymore, but I thought I’d drop this here:

Fourth Amendment

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Thanks MAGAts and non-voters. Good job.

Disappointing, but there are few politicians who get in office and don’t immediately start compromising their values to maintain their employment. At the same time, politicians have to compromise to get shit done. I don’t think endorsements are the time to compromise.

I wonder if just a larger percentage of Gen Z thinks standardized testing is bullshit and don’t even try. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I strongly believe the internet has been a greater evil than benefit to the world, and also believe cell phones have done serious damage to attention spans and focus. That is to say, I’m firmly at the “get off my lawn you damn kids” stage of life. But at the same time I admire so much of the younger generations that don’t buy into the “work hard and it pays off” bullshit that I was raised with.

What a great shitpost. Fueled a strong comment section. Well done!

Republicans are seriously good for nothing except gallows humor.

It’s all shooting, but the indoor galleries seem to make the concussive effects a bit worse.

People should also be aware that shooting guns causes physical brain damage, so they should take that into consideration.

I’m not sure what the fix is, aside from a foundational change in society, UBI, etc… When I was growing up, the paper was a couple bucks a month. Really cheap and there weren’t all the online alternatives. Reporting was pretty solid. Then the internet came along embracing the capitalist race to the bottom. My mom (80+ years old) still gets a Sunday paper, instead of daily, but I know that she is one of the only people on her block who even get that. And to be honest, the newspaper coverage is pretty shitty.

There has to be a way to pay reporters to do in depth reporting, taking weeks or months to do all the digging and research, but that takes a financial backing that billionaires could do, but aren’t interested in doing. And it seems more and more people don’t put their shrinking disposable income in support.

I’m in no way saying you’re wrong, I just don’t see a solution. We now just jump from outrage to outrage, informed by idiot tiktokers and uneducated ideologues. But it’s free and flashy…squirrel!
