Here's your daily reminder that there are no rich people in heaven. In the end, every single billionaire burns. There are no exceptions. That exception you're thinking of? Nope. No exceptions. No such thing as a moral billionaire. In the end, every single one of them burns.

At this point, I would fully support a law that made anyone with wealth over say, $100 million, into a literal outlaw. Like the old school historical outlaw. The protection of the law literally doesn't apply to them.

It's only dangerous if you're a mass murderer. Don't want to get gunned down on the sidewalk and have people celebrate your death? Don't be a mass murderer.

Of course. He's clearly not guilty. Thompson willingly surrendered his humanity a long time ago, and you can only commit murder against a human. What Luigi did was more like deconstructing a cardboard box or other inanimate object.

He did however leave those shell casings on the sidewalk, and that's just not cool. They should give him a ticket for littering and send him on his way.

Let them shut it down. Don't bail them out. Let them own this. We've gotten to this moment because Dems keep bailing out Republicans, people who are completely incapable of governing. And voters never have to face the consequences for their decisions. Stop bailing them out. Vote no on every single bill. No exceptions.

I say we float him out to sea on a melting iceberg.

Deport Elon Musk. Fucking apartheid bastard.

Yes, a true classic!

And that's why you should refuse to pay a penny and just pirate everything by default. If you feel like supporting the creators, donate to their union strike fund.

In litigation, if one side destroys evidence beforehand, or goes to great lengths to deliberately not collect it, courts instruct juries to presume against the side that destroyed the evidence. Companies that think they're being clever by using apps that auto-delete records aren't as clever as they think they are. This Teams feature is obviously meant to make it difficult to assist in corporate malfeasance. Using Teams is now a liability risk to companies.

Alright boney boys, let's go! War and Pestilence have already been riding for a few years. Famine, it's your turn to hit the trail!

Eh, just do your best, and accept imperfection. You're Hercules, not God. Try to do what good you can, when you can. Trying to perfectly optimize things simply leads to madness.

You're literally "ummm actually"-ing human immolation.

A mechanical release that is obfuscated and not easy and intuitive to use effectively doesn't exist. You might as well say, "well, technically, shattering a window is a mechanical action, so all cars have mechanical releases..."

Stop trying to excuse homicide.

I mean sure, if no one actually wants to run, that's fine. What needs to end is the immolation of anyone's career that dares to run against an incumbent. Primarying an incumbent is career suicide in the Democratic party. You better hope you win, because if you don't pull off a miracle, you will be thrown out of the party. Running against incumbents and putting them through their laces should be encouraged. We want a party that is a political survivor of the fittest.

Sure, but you have to do some insane shit like pull open some random unmarked panel, dig your hand in, and pull a cable. Good luck remembering how to do that when the car is filled with smoke and there is literally a fire being lit under your ass. Tesla fires have killed hundreds already.

The percentage of people who were left handed magically rose from less than 1% to around 10% after we stopped persecuting people for being left handed. The same dynamic is at play here.

The thing about trans people is we're often an invisible minority. If you met me on the street or even were my coworker for years, you wouldn't know I'm trans. I'm a trans woman in my mid 30s. I simply don't bring it up with people who aren't really close to me. That's both for my own protection and because frankly, most of the time I just want people to see me as a woman, not as a trans woman. And just in case you're one of those people who thinks you can magically identify all the trans people around you, well confirmation bias is a thing. You only see the trans people you see. Some of us are out and proud gender-fucking pink haired gender studies majors, but most of us are just pretty regular boring people. We have jobs and lives like everyone else. I live with my husband in a 3 bed 2.5 bath house in a regular suburban neighborhood. You could be my neighbor or coworker and not know it.

You're not really wealthy until you can raise your own legion.

I mean, sure. There's always the Luigi option. But my preferred end for insurance execs is from denial of a health insurance claim. Bit hard to make that work for someone of that wealth, but it would be the ideal case.

If nuclear war breaks out, I’ll be surface level hoping the first one to hits directly me in the face.

Seriously. I live in a college town. The university has a nuclear engineering program and a training reactor. Anything nuclear, including training facilities for nuclear engineers, is at the top of the list of targets in a total nuclear war. If the alert comes down that the nukes are flying, we're loading the cats in the car, grabbing every mind altering substance we have, and heading over to hang out right outside the reactor facility's gate. If the bombs start falling, I want to be close enough to ground zero to simply be vaporized. That's the really the best fate you can hope for in such an eventuality. I'm not even kidding; we've actually talked about this. When the bombs hit, we'll be hopefully drunk and high just a few yards from ground zero.

Hopefully Musk will crash in one of his cars and be unable to escape the resulting fire, because he built it without mechanical door handles.

I prefer that evil billionaires meet their fates ironically.

The importance of money is greatly exaggerated. I think it's clear by now that there is such a thing as saturation when it comes to political ad spending. By the time you've already spent $500 million to bombard the eyeballs in everyone in the country, what good does the next $500 million really do? Democrats managed to outspend Republicans in both 2024 and 2016. Dems collect way more money than they need and then waste most of it.
