I’m so fucking sick of this country being dragged into the dark ages at the whims of scared, gullible, stupid, racist white people.
Healthcare, climate, wages. Real shit we want to do for EVERYONE, and they don't care. But tell these dumb motherfuckers that little Cletus might hear about slavery in school and they're tripping over each other to elect any supervillain that comforts their white fragility.
These insipid fucking sludgebrained troglodytes think they're the big strong alpha fucking whatever while they're being so easily manipulated by their fears and insecurities. Koch Bros know they can make these babies cry on command with a racist "got your nose" trick. Exhausting.
Fear will only ever drive us backwards. Fear leads people to recoil, turn back, go to what feels safe to them, block out everything else. Progress, growth, and change require courage and strength, willingness to be uncomfortable. As long as conservatives can sell fear we’re stuck
And yes, very important point that my rage-tweets didn’t clarify: This is not a problem confined to any class or geography of white people. As we saw on Jan 6, there are plenty of RICH white fragile racist gullible propaganda sponges. It’s in every neighborhood, in every state.
There’s no “move to a different state” to escape the stupid scared racists anymore. I don’t know how to live amongst these garbage people, let alone have our childrens’ futures decided by their moronic impulses. Not trying to be a downer today, it’s just so fucking frustrating.
Our kids are gonna live in a dystopian hellscape because Aunt Barb read on Facebook that a grade school teacher wasn’t properly deifying Christopher Columbus, and the stupidity of it all is just CRUSHING.

Many of you sent me this viral photo of a skull toilet - a “Skoilet,” if you will - and I am very grateful, because this is of course Extremely My Shit. I had to know more, and I ended up down a rabbit hole into the fascinating world of luxury European designer skoilets. THREAD.
The first skoilet I found is called SKULLPOT, a Swiss brand created in 2020 devoted to one thing and one thing only: "We specialize exclusively in modern rimless toilets in the shape of skulls." You have to appreciate a clear and focused vision. 2/
Far from being a novelty item, Skullpot markets itself as luxury Swiss design, a statement piece that says "I'm rich, I'm classy, and I like to open up a giant cranium and shit in its skull cavity." Skullpots also come in black and gold, although there are no photos of those. 3/

Imagining a WHAT IF…? alternate-universe 1980s where Wolverine took Garfield’s place as the mascot of pedestrian curmudgeonly office meme merch. Wolverine hating Mondays, needing more coffee, holding his claws up scowling “ask me if I care, bub.” etc.
Some of them translate really directly! Just ad "bub" to every saying.
Obviously Cyclops would play the role of Nermal.

When I posted my EAT THE RICH shirt on Instagram a while back, of course some Facebook dullards were like “how much do YOU make Rob??” or “didn’t you work for a rockstar??” People have no comprehension of how vastly asymmetrical the power is in this country. And that’s by design.
The design is to keep us tearing each other apart while the very few sit at the top pulling the strings and funneling more and more wealth and concentrating more and more power. And the more incomprehensible their wealth gets, the better this design works.
Exactly this. The “but Bernie Sanders stays in nice hotels” brigade. The “temporarily embarrassed millionaires” of America who still think going after billionaires is somehow an attack on their personal ambitions. Can’t eat the rich when we’re so busy eating each other.

Took the RV down the Oregon coast with @Steph_Sheridan_ for some much-needed time away, and we’re kicking off our first night in the woods the correct way.
Okay this will be the thread for our camping trip. Here is a very good boy who’s very excited about going to the beach today. Mute this thread if you do not want this very good boy interrupting your doomscrolling.
And this is why Momo loves the beach

My friend teaches high school and I asked him how his first week back at school is going… jfc
To all the teachers out there struggling through this mess right now: You’re appreciated!
Damn this blew up. No SoundCloud but get vaxxed, mask up, look out for each other, the GOP is a death cult, and one significant way you can fight their influence on schools is run for your local school board. Conservative groups are targeting school boards. Don’t let them win.
