  You know those guys love Lex Luthor behind the scenes. I’m sure they talk about it, probably have a secret LL Society, with passwords, and secret handshakes, and whatnot.

  I’m obsessed with Sociopathic Oligarch-Bashing.

  The better way to ask it is: Would you pay $80 to rent a game?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Must be a strange feeling that something you used to use is now only seen in museums⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Back then, you weren’t allowed to own your own phones, you had to rent them from the phone company, and they charged you for each line to go with it. In addition, you had to pay extra for colors, or fancy styles.

  We had one in the kitchen, one in my parents’ bedroom, and one in the family room down stairs. So my Dad, who wouldn’t spring for a color TV, already had to pay for THREE phones, and THREE lines, so he wasn’t paying for any upgrades like color. We had three black, Bakelite, rotary dial phones. He wouldn’t even spring for the touch tone phones, when they came along.

  And we could forget about having a line in our bedrooms. When I got old enough, I used my own money to buy a super-long cord that could stretch from the kitchen to my bedroom.

  Let’s be honest, the issue isn’t genitalia in general, it’s SPECIFIC genitalia. They aren’t worried about women pressing the buttons with their genitalia. If they were, they could be charging to use that elevator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the deep freeze⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, one employee has a common digestive issue that’s common to many, and they devote an entire dairy free ice cream machine to him, and make him a diversity case study? That doesn’t sound remotely plausible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeff Bezos claims AI could allow 3-day workweeks; man who won't give employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The people working may have 3 day weeks, but they’ll get paid for 3 day weeks, and 50% of the population will have 0 day weeks because they’ll be unemployed.

  He’s basically saying that we won’t have a need for most full-time positions in the future. Just someone to replace the ink/toner, lubricate a few moving parts, update some software, replace some worn parts, etc.

  An entertainment industry without creatives? Sure, give that a try, I can’t imagine any downside there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the only thing that never trickles down is the money⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  "The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellow’s hands."

  If we don’t pivot to Trickle Up Economics, we will pivot to Robin Hood Economics, and that usually comes with guillotines and whatnot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you ever see a CEO like this, warn a brother.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The boards of directors of these massive entertainment companies care about money, and nothing else. It gives me only the slightest schadenfreude knowing that it probably makes them all crazy having to deal with a corporate sector that relies entirely on ARTISTS, who are notoriously as cooperative as cats. They have no choice, and they hate that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ineffective Democratic leadership ain't going away unless we make them.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries have been on the stage long enough, and nobody has found them entertaining at all. Time to give them the hook, and get some real talent on the stage.

  The rise, and re-rise, of MAGA is 50% their fault, and they haven’t done one single thing to demonstrate that they deserve a THIRD chance to protect us from the MAGA Monsters. Both of them are entirely useless, and Schmuck is even worse than Jeffries, if that’s even possible.

  All this corrupt old fuck cares about is Israel and Insider Trading. He has never done one single thing to advance a true Democratic agenda, or protect this nation from being conquered by Treasonous Pedophiles.

  When this is all over, and we are putting MAGA Traitors in front of a tribunal, Schmuck & Jeffries need to be heavily investigated, too, and we’ll probably find out they were collaborating all along.

  The state took their shot and missed. To try again would be Cruel & Unusual. She doesn’t have to be released, but her sentence should be commuted to Life Without Parole, which she certainly deserves. But the Death Penalty is off the table for her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tin foil not needed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a MAGA running for Congress in my area, and his ad starts with him brining groceries on from the car, saying “Democrats in Congress don’t understand how the high cost of living is affecting Americans…”

  MAGA, WHAT? This fucking pedophile traitor is actually trying to make it sound like it’s the Dems that are causing all the problems, even though MAGA fully controls every branch of government, and all our economic problems can be DIRECTLY traced to the war, tariffs, and other MAGA economic policies. They just fuck everything up, blame the Dems, and spend a fortune shoving it down our throats until people believe it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fix the system..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody wants to be a SLAVE any more. These Sociopathic Oligarch Pigs, and their insipid minions, have intimidated American workers for generations, taking more and more and more, and returning less and less and less. Today, people are onto them, and more and more workers aren’t being intimidated any more.

  It’s the simple Law of Supply & Demand. They’re not supplying enough to entice workers to meet their demands. Pay enough, and people will work. Don’t pay enough, and they won’t, it’s as simple as that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horse radish isn't a nuclear weapon of mass destruction either.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Horseradish? Oh yes it is. Plant some horseradish in your garden and say goodbye to your yard. It quickly spreads underground, and puts up these thick ugly stalks, and will take over your yard in a single summer. I had a competitive friend who tried to match my beautiful garden, and planted horseradish, and lost his entire yard.

  I used to know another guy that did that, so he just became the horseradish guy in the office. Once a year, he’d bring in jars of fresh horseradish, and distribute them throughout the office.
