There is terrible power in a joke. To joke about something is to bring it into acceptance. Too many joked about the horrors, and now they are here, all too real

It's a long read, but an important one. There is terrible power in a joke. Years of Future Past (2015) #2 A joke, all too often, is merely an idea testing tolerances as safely as it can. Do not joke about serious matters, lest your values be made into the next joke.

On February 28th, 2026 the trump regime murdered Ayatollah Khamenei, his daughter, grand daughter and 170 grade school girls. Spare the outrage over Ivanka. Assuming you believe it.

@edzitron I had no idea it could break that hard. That kind of garbled mess would be hard to make INTENTIONALLY, and this machine managed to turn THREE LETTERS into Donald Duck gargling a kitchen blender.

@pictureplane Reminds me of a former coworker that would drink on the job, getting exposed beyond the "benefit of the doubt" stage after too many risky incidents. He and I were valet parking attendants for a hospital. He was also about three times my age.

@M1das_OW2 Nearly all my life, people have called me "weird" in varying levels of rudeness. I am weird, I admit this. By my own standards, I am. What the fuck do we even call these people? These people make my insane, melodramatic venting rants look downright stable!

@LBGamestips Military parades are a great demonstration of how quickly and effectively the relevant military can organize and mobilize. It applies to both citizens and outside observers. If the observer believes that military to be an ally, it's comforting. The flip side is as you stated. 👍

I used to wonder why China 🇨🇳 does military parades at every opportunity they get, now it’s making sense. “Don’t fuck with us”

My first car was $300 dollars A similar beater today would be upwards of $6k The prevailing low wage job is 2-2.5x higher today but the beater is 20x higher. This is why people think you’re out of touch. Yeah “we” did that but we didn’t live in this economy.
LibertyJ@LibertyJen

Absolutely no one “needs” a car payment. I bought my first 4 cars cash by saving. Buy a used beater. I did this as a 15 year old. The insurance and maintenance is also much cheaper. I didn’t have a car payment until I was in my 30’s!

Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature·
The USDA has kept raccoon rabies out of the central United States for over 30 years by air-dropping fish-flavored ravioli from helicopters. Each one is a small packet coated in fishmeal with an oral rabies vaccine inside. Raccoons, foxes, coyotes, and skunks find them by smell, bite through, and swallow. Many animals that consume the bait develop immunity, helping build a protective barrier across populations. The bait is generally considered safe for pets and tested in many non-target species. The USDA's Wildlife Services has been running this since 1995. Without the bait program, raccoon rabies very likely would have spread much further west. A federal program you've probably never heard of is protecting your pets and your kids by feeding wild animals ravioli from a helicopter.

Native plants were once dismissed as weeds. Now a Chicago park sale that usually draws 1,100 people drew 2,300—and sold every single plant. One Wisconsin nursery has gone from $13,000 in sales in 1982 to, as its founder puts it, "add a few zeros on there." motherjones.com/environment/20…

@TheMG3D The generative AI is more self-aware than its target user base!... Extremely low bar, but I wanted to make the joke. That is really funny to see, though. Even the advertisement machine itself can't deny its routine failings.

Holy shit! The entire White House is on lockdown after 30 shots were fired. Initial reports are that there were two gunman and the Secret Service took them both down. The insanity never stops especially when most of it is manufactured by the government.

all socialists should be learning from the tactics of the bolivian people and the indigenous communities there. they aren't just on strike, they're putting up roadblocks around the major cities, they're actually shutting the economy down.

What the western world is missing really is diners that prepare a large batch of the same food and sell it for cheap. Fast food is the opposite of this where tiny batches of food are prepared as fast as possible upon an order. That is a distinctly American form of inefficiency.
Birch Brother 🪓@BjorkBrodern

It's probably the most basic human experience since we started building houses. In great Roman cities the Insulae, their apartments didn't have kitchen due to the fire risk. Instead there was a restaurant on the first floor where everyone grabbed their food.

People don't realize this but "cook your own food at home, it's cheaper" is a very modern phenomenon. It was significantly more cost efficient to have one restaurant bulk buy ingredients and cooking supplies instead of making each person do so individually.
M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray

More recently, in the first half of the twentieth century, as much as 20% of the urban population of big US cities lived in units—from cheap SROs to luxury hotels—without kitchens. They ate nearly all of their meals at cheap ¢5 lunch counters and cafeterias, including automats.
