Trying to imagine the chaotic hell it must be like inside the very broken mind of someone whose entire ideology depended on being furious at Big Bird today.
You see the tweet from the muppet & maybe, just for one brief fraction of a second, you think, "am I REALLY mad about this?" but you shake it off, because if you aren't, if Big Bird ISN'T a government propagandist, the whole house of BS you've built your personality on crumbles.
You've committed yourself to being a soldier of the dumbest bullshit imaginable, and by god if you don't get on the clown stage & perform some outrage at the big yellow children's bird today, then a glimmer of self-reflection might dare creep in and you'll realize how sad you are
So you do it, by god you do it, you get Mad Online at a muppet, and you silence that tiny voice inside you telling you how fucking stupid this has all become, because you're too far down this path to turn around, and today the script you've committed to says: "Fuck Big Bird."
What a stressful, tortured, self-loathing mess it must be in their brains. They can all get fucked but sometimes when I try to imagine the hellpretzels they have to twist their damaged psyches into to keep up with this con, I almost - ALMOST - feel bad for them.

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.
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.
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.
