curmudgeon extraordinaire says fuck off, fascists

  • the evil empire of fb

    Those Zuck emails that explode FB’s defenses to charges of being a monopoly are pretty funny. In fact, they make the corporate name change to Meta even funnier because fb is no longer pretending to offer anything to its users. It’s completely meta at this point. This is why fb is actively hostile to its…

  • yeah about that. . .

    On the socials someone has mentioned a US “whistleblower” site deliberately set up to allow Canadian addresses. The site in question allows collaborators and fascists to report medical professionals providing gender affirming care. The whole idea is horrifying, of course. I checked the site, and it does provide a dropdown of all US and Canadian…

  • originalism is fascist

    I don’t need to wait for Alito to explain his dissent in the case of deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. His originalism means he’ll say that an act from 1798 is so close to 1776 that it might as well be Original and therefore it’s fine. Alito’s bullshit Originalism is a morally bankrupt view…

  • when stealing is a speciality

    The DOGE bros are running rampant through government data and stealing it I mean extracting it to servers that are not part of the government. One of these bright bulbs posted his data extraction tool on a public GitHub repository. That right there tells you everything you need to know about whether DOGE or this…

  • flip flopping for the polls?

    Tariffs are on. No, wait, they’re off. Nope they’re on but we’re excluding this stuff. They’re off again, back on, oh hey those exclusions are only temporary. Psst rich people and GOP MOC, they’re off in 3 hours. This is fucking chaos.

  • For POTUS

    Here’s my (2025.04.10) current POTUS in 2028 ranking in order: Would vote for: Bernie, Hillary, Barrack, a chair, a lettuce as long as it’s not Gavin Newsom. Previous list here.

  • this stinks of manipulation

    Apparently the president went on his social media early in the day and said it was a good time to buy stock. 3 hours later he paused his ruinous tariffs. Members of Congress bought the dip in a big way. So did his billionaire friends. So, I ask you, when you post like that on…

  • juxtaposition

    Americans die earlier at all wealth levels. We Die Sooner Followed by Research cuts will shorten lives Americans die sooner because we don’t have basic health care. And now we’re going to die even sooner because there will be fewer breakthroughs. There’s plenty of blame for the disaster of US Health Care, though it falls…

  • he really said that

    The president of the USA told the Prime Minister of Israel that the Nazis were known for the kindness of some of them. No. They. Were. Not. Make no mistake. This is a common trope among Evangelical Christians. The Christian Romance community has frequently suffered intense backlash because of romances between a Nazi “hero” and…

  • cracks in the wall of stupid?

    Business owners who thought the current administration would lower their taxes and remove regulations are learning a hard lesson. Then again, if you go out of business because tariffs put you underwater or unable to obtain materials you need, ultimately, your taxes hit zero, so working as designed?
