Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz to every woman, LGBTQ+ person and immigrant who works in tech: you’re disposable if doing this makes us even more money

CNN can fuck all the way off with this obvious bullshit.

In a new interview, President Joe Biden made false or misleading claims about immigration, inflation, his administration's spending, and a remark he made about Israel at last month's CNN presidential debate.

This might be Trae's finest work. Give it a listen.

Everybody also needs to watch this reel from “liberal redneck” comedian Trae Crowder who has some personal experience with Vance www.instagram.com/reel/C9febBe...

Trae Crowder on Instagram: "JD Vance hates hillbillies #traecrowder #sorryIfilmedthislastnight #seemelive #linkwherethelinksgo"www.instagram.com 3,678 likes, 141 comments - officialtraecrowder on July 16, 2024: "JD Vance hates hillbillies #traecrowder #sorryIfilmedthislastnight #seemelive #linkwherethelinksgo".

Y’all. Unless it comes down to 100 votes in one swing state, a Trump coup 2.0 isn’t going to be any more effective than Trump coup 1.0.

I'm getting fed up with people who are already giving up IN JULY

every day I feel like I'm losing my mind as people look at a statistically tied race where one guy is a felon with deeply unpopular positions who ALREADY LOST THIS EXACT RACE and are like "he is 100% for sure going to win"

“Respect the free market!” “So we can drop all these non-compete clauses in our contracts.” “Not like that!”

JD Vance, 2016: "Trump is America's Hitler" JD Vance, 2024: "I humbly accept the nomination to be America's Himmler"

Looking forward to seeing Trump, etc. defending Menendez.

Remember, if the government can obtain a conviction against Bob Menendez for taking bribes and stuffing gold bars into his closet that he was given for working on behalf of a foreign government, there's nothing stopping them from indicting you for the same thing.

Happy #Highlander 2 day to all who celebrate! July 16 2024! Sadly I'll be driving most of the day, but I'll at least be wearing my Shield Corporation t-shirt. How will you be celebrating?

Oh fuck off CNN.

Donald Trump stole the show at the Republican National Convention with his appearance as the crowd chanted "fight." It was a memorable moment to mark his official nomination. Here are takeaways from the first night.

Decade after decade of stochastic terror, gun rights fervor, & the foment of conspiratorial thinking by, from, on, & within the right, & yet it's somehow DEMOCRATS & the LEFT who need to "calm things down" or "lower the temperature?" Nah son. We *been* calm, and quite fucking cool and collected. …

(And with authors at least, if you can't afford their work, you can just get it from a library, which is good for you (the book itself is no additional cost!), good for the author (libraries pay for books!), and good for the library (they're being used and justifying their budgets!). Libraries FTW!)

There is never any shame in using the library, and much benefit in doing so. They are the closest thing to an unmitigated social good that we have in these United States, which is why the hard right is gunning so fervently for them these days. A world without libraries and librarians is a poor one.

My book-buying budget is not what it once was, which is precisely why I’m using the library more. It also gives me the opportunity to read books that I’m not sure I want to add to the home library (not that there’s a lot of room to do that anyway).

Flashback

WSJ this morning. lol at the last bit. "Leaders on both sides need to stop describing the stakes of the election in apocalyptic terms. Democracy won't end if one or the other candidate is elected. Fascism is not aborning if Mr. Trump wins, unless you have little faith in American institutions."

A-fucking-men.

This’ll never make me a regular on msnbc, but people should be ashamed to admit they support Trump. He is a hideously bad person proposing to enact a vast expansion of cruelty and human suffering. The erosion and collapse of social sanctions for supporting someone so indecent is a big problem.
