netflix n circuses

@AcunnSon @WholeTimeDavid There’s definitely fewer than a dozen people who appreciate your humor

@CircusesN @WholeTimeDavid Next you’re gonna tell me that there’s more than a dozen people who listen to Pink Floyd

I read a book where the main character kept talking about a band called King Crimson. I just tried to listen to that shit on Spotify. It is fucking terrible.

@AcunnSon @WholeTimeDavid In no universe is King Crimson obscure

@WholeTimeDavid I hate it when authors try to plug their obscure music tastes into their work

@AmanitaFugax Why do you care about someone else’s perception of crime?

Being a Republican is just living life in paranoid fear. Afraid of your neighbors, afraid of strangers, afraid of the cities where all the activities happened. Just constantly reading online content, shakily grasping their guns, telling you the world is terrible.

@travisakers Kick them out of class? Instead of turning it into a teachable moment? You, sir, are actually retarded.

Parents, let me be extremely clear… If your child uses “retarded” or “faggot” in my classroom, they are out. And it’s a reflection on you as well. I didn’t mince my words. And if they learned it from you… shame. To the majority of parents who are raising your children to respect others, you’re doing it right, we see that, and appreciate you.

@NathanJRobinson Yep, that means a lot coming from you

@AlecMacGillis They had a good run. The government owes you nothing, prepare yourself accordingly

"Sheryl Cowan, 57, was making $272,000 a year as a senior VP at a U.S.A.I.D.-funded nonprofit when she was let go at the end of March 2025. Last month she had an online interview for a $19-an-hour job managing a Penzeys Spices store in Falls Church, Va." nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/…

@theblessedsalt The mailbox hurts no one with good intentions

This post is an excellent litmus test for understanding of just war theory. Despite the fact that I can see how effective this would be, I must oppose it because the damage it would do to my enemy (who bashes in my mailbox) would far outweigh the good of saving my mailbox. Its disproportionality is opposed by our duty in charity (and even justice) to watch out even for the good of our enemies. (Yes, by the way, I have had my mailbox bashed in by random vandals.)

@chrisdmowrey If you think everyone else should be okay with your ideas to spend their money, than you might be the piece of shit here

Because I’m not a complete piece of shit and don’t care if 5¢ from my taxes go to a person in need deciding to have a cookie. Cookies are delicious. And because way, way, WAY more of my money goes to way more important stuff that should be talked about far more often than this

@swd2 Since when does sugar = “happiness.” Everything we scientifically know points to the opposite

As of today, Florida SNAP recipients can’t buy soda or candy because God forbid we allow a single mom and her kids a few moments of happiness at the end of the day. 😡

@Dav221631 @MJTruthUltra What brand is your crystal ball?

@MJTruthUltra You cannot fucking shoot at someone running away. Peats sake people. Add in the fact you cannot blindly shoot through a wall at someone who broke into your home especially if no one is in their whose life is in jeopardy.

Judge: “The defendant put himself in this situation” UnFuckingbelievable

@ideafaktory @SteveHiltonx Plenty to cut, bud. Throw a dart at the board

@SteveHiltonx This would result in a $50 billion loss in revenue, using last year's data. Where would that revenue be made up - or costs cut - to close that gap? x.com/i/grok/share/e…

California families are getting crushed by taxes. As Governor, my first move: make the first $100,000 of income completely tax-free. For everyone earning above that, a simple flat 7.5% rate. No more punishing hard work—your paycheck stays in your pocket. Let’s make California affordable again! ☀️👊#Califordable #GoldenAgain

@jane_plainly @MrDanielBuck Have you ever taught in a public school? Bc bullshit like this demonstrates that you have no clue what you’re talking about

this is literally not real. There is no way 1 girl was able to do that just by being in class, and merely talking in a way the teacher didnt like. There has to be more to this like a race dynamic, like she was the only white girl in black class, or the only black girl in a white class, and in reality the reason this 1 student who was a bad student, which is a day ending in y in american schools, was able to "disrupt the whole class" is some race shit. Meaning it wasnt really her, it was THEIR bigotry/intolerance, that made her presence affect them so much. Cuz a kinda crappy high school student who is smart and talks a lot is like 50% of american high school students. What i WOULD believe, is she was the only black girl, hispanic girl, or white girl. The real reason the vibe was off, is their hatred/intolerance of her "group".

“One student made 25 other students have a worse experience” Mercy to the cruel is cruelty to the innocent

@SaraHigdon I don’t care anymore. If you stab someone in the neck unprovoked, you deserve harsh consequences. Mental status be damned

I am imploring that the collective internet take a step back and understand how the justice system works, that this is not a plea of insanity at the time of the murder, and incompetence to stand trial is not a defense of the crime. It is a constitutionally protected right, that you have to be able to understand the proceedings and help in your defense. Also, this trial is not over, the defense and prosecutor agreed to a 180 day hold, and the trial will continue once it is determined he is fit to stand trial. I like everyone else want to see him found guilty for the heinous crime, but the rage bait/ignorance over this is too much. No matter what this guy will never walk the streets again. justia.com/criminal/proce…

@lalovestrump Urbanites are fucking idiots

The la river is the new club

@Dawnsmartdore @JamieBonkiewicz @TBlountNews How would you know they are “oblivious”? Did you go talk to them? Do you have incredible mind reading powers?

@JamieBonkiewicz @TBlountNews I think about this all the time I look at people as they walk through hotels and airports since I travel a lot - I think they are oblivious Scares the shit out of me

You know what’s fucking insane? There are actually people in the United States right now that have ZERO clue what even went down today.

@missmayn Native southern Californian here LA is a combo of amazing and terrible. If you want to meet interesting people, however, you have to get far, far away from LA

before moving to LA i heard a ton of LA hate until one of my more successful comedian friends said, "LA is awesome. of course you only hear it's awful when it's coming from people who couldn't make it and had to move home."

@Starkian7789 North County *was* one of the best kept secrets in the USA No longer

I like this section of Del Mar because of how it still feels natural despite being part of a major sprawling metro.

@LauraPowellEsq @jessesingal Totally irrelevant question

@jessesingal You sure you were in Berkeley?

1/ BREAKING CALIFORNIA NEWS: I went for a sunset hike in Berkeley. It’s a steep one. At one point you crest this ridge and it flattens out. On the left side of the trail I see a guy with his head craned all the way back.

@RestrictedDaily I guessed Edith Wharton

I’ve been running these Final Jeopardy clips and honestly… I enjoy them more every time. Something about that final answer just hits. What about y’all?

@hierstaanons It’s actually a pretty interesting and beautiful area. It’s just surrounded by the most famous counties in the entire country

The Inland Empire and it's not even close, 4.6 million people and it's so irrelevant that when you Google "Inland Empire" the first result is a movie of the same name that grossed $4.4 million, less than the population of the metro area
