  • I’m sure once every human is replaced by shitty automated AI the entire process will become smoother than our darkest nightmares can imagine.

    Book your flight. Hop into your driverless taxi, and if you survive the trip to the airport, use the facial recognition option to breeze right on through security within minutes (assuming you’re the right color of passenger) without even taking off your shoes.

    No need for air traffic control, flight attendants, or even pilots. You can can walk straight on to the overcrowded plane, settle in, put on your headphones and sleep mask, then nosedive straight into the ocean without ever having to acknowledge another human being. Until the rude asshole sitting next to you suddenly bothers you with some stupid shit like “Oh God why aren’t the oxygen masks dropping? That used to be automatic! Our father who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name…”

    You roll your eyes and put your headphones and mask back on to enjoy the soothing sounds of autotune AI generated parody songs you made on the ride to the airport. What the fuck is that guy even talking about anyway? You don’t know and you don’t care. You didn’t pay for first class to have some rando kill your vacay vibe. You take a deep breath (but there’s no oxygen) smile and settle back in, knowing that soon you will reach your final destination.






  • True, they will always play the victim even as they’re hurting and exploiting people they see as less than. Don’t allow them to have any evidence of credibility.

    I think his idea of hell would probably be having to lower himself to the standard of living most people would consider normal and comfortable. Having to learn to actually survive day to day if he were to find himself suddenly without a cent of the money he was born into and all future wages and earnings garnished to pay the people he has harmed, would probably be a fate worse than any hell he could imagine.

    I know there’s no justice and there is pretty much no chance of him ever facing any sort of proportional punishment or consequence for his actions. But, if I could make it happen, having to suddenly learn to survive with the rest of us mortals in the society he has helped create, in his late fifties, wondering how he will even afford something as basic as healthcare while his body rapidly ages from stress and gradually falls apart, after a lifetime of unimaginable privilege, unable to go anywhere or do anything he enjoys without being recognized and having people curse his name. That would be the fate I would wish on somebody like him.







  • That’s why I feel like people need to be aware of this, and understand there are Republicans and Democrats taking Thiel’s money.

    It doesn’t matter how he gets there, this is his ultimate goal. He would prefer the far right Nazi way, but if he has to hide behind a moderate Democrat he’ll do that too.

    Look at this shit.

    Ro Kahnna is definitely setting himself up to run for president in 2028. Either that or possibly vice president to Gavin Newsome. Newsome also has taken Thiel money in the past.

    Thiel’s private Uranium mine just happens to be in the home state of Thomas Massie, the Republican who is partnering with Kahnna to take on the Trump Epstein files in a bipartisan tag team.

    I’m glad they’re exposing rich pedophiles, but don’t give them fucking brownie points when it’s clear they’ve been sitting on this shit the whole fucking time. The same with Vance going to Rupert Murdoch before all of this dropped.

    They definitely could have exposed Trump before he even ran for president the second time, but they didn’t bc this is just part of their evil bullshit plans. This is just a game to them, and the people who have been hurt and exploited mean nothing. Fuck these evil pieces of shit. All of them.





  • I mean my opinion is if your plan is to take away everybody’s healthcare, collapse the economy, close public schools, and decrease quality of life in general, plus do all these other crazy things that put the mother’s life at risk, why would it be a good idea to encourage as many new births as possible?

    Also, I know n=1 but I really wanted to have another kid last year, but put it off specifically bc of the crazy laws Republicans started passing that put maternal health at risk. Honestly, I’m relieved I didn’t bc the economy has also gotten so bad since then and everything is so uncertain. Now when I read stories about brain dead women being forced to be kept alive to carry a fetus and give birth it makes me wonder if I’ll ever want to risk having another baby.

    I think it’s dishonest to pretend that current birthrates in the U.S. at least aren’t in part a reflection of many women’s fears about giving birth during such a chaotic time.



  • I’m starting to think this is how they ease us into accepting the argument they need to grind us up for biofuel.

    “Sorry kids, it turns out deregulation of nuclear safety and all these small modular nuclear reactors we built still isn’t enough to power the data centers.”

    “Good news, we have this new idea: You know how there’s just way too many of you bc we’ve been banning birth control methods and spreading misinformation about declining birth rates? And there’s also not enough food bc of tariffs and a lack of available labor to harvest all those crops we let rot?”

    To be fair, in exchange we will still get to enjoy terrible AI generated art and music.




  • Seriously, that is something that is really disturbing to me right now.

    I 100% support calling out the guilty parties that have been named so far, but the people doing it are trying so hard to make themselves out to be the good guys when they deserve to go down with him.

    Mike Johnson getting a huge Thiel donation that he then disbursed to other House Republicans. Fucking Massie and Khanna have both received donations from Thiel. Massie and that fucking Uranium mine Thiel is coincidentally opening in KY!? Give me a fucking break!

    Then they’re acting like a subpoena for who the media keeps referring to as simply “Epstein’s estate” (they’re his co-conspirators Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, who helped him get away with trafficking and abusing his victims) will allow them to have access to this book and “reveal the truth.” The same book that Murdoch somehow had access to after Vance just happened to pay him an unscheduled visit a few weeks ago…

    They’ve asked for an unredacted copy, so on the word of two men who got away with helping Epstein, we’re supposed to believe whatever evidence they give is completely unredacted, and they want to put it in the fucking Smithsonian to document whatever history they’re trying to create.

    Meanwhile, hardly any coverage or mention of Epstein’s estate receiving hundreds of millions on the investments Epstein made in Thiel’s company other than that one NYT article that exposed it in early June.

    Fuuuuck these people. All of them. Trump, Murdoch, Thiel, Vance, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Indyke, Kahn, Maxwell, Massie, Kahnna, Mike Johnson, and anyone else I’m leaving out (bc I know there’s way more attached to Epstein, Thiel money, or both) At best they’re all complicit. All of them!
