32·15 days agoI was honestly thinking that. Trump loves
because he is tall and has aura. Bovino literally assembled a personal guard of five foot three soldiers to make himself look taller, and Trump probably hates the optics of that.

9·25 days agoHonestly I think looking at social media way less would be much more helpful for your mental health than talking to your psychiatrist. In my experience, therapy is good but it is only one half hour out of your 168 hour week. What really matters is what insights you can learn about yourself in that half hour that you can apply to the other 167.5 hours: better long-term habits.
Not to get all Jordan Peterson here, but personally, I find that going for walks, reading books, and eating healthier food helps to improve my mood. Yes, it is true that climate apocalypse is coming and the forces of capitalism, racism, and imperialism are trying to divide the world into the upper 1% being glorious god masters and the 99% being their permanent slave class. But revolutionary optimism requires looking at history, and recognizing that the greatest positive changes to society came as a response to the most horrible tragedies that humanity has seen, that Marxist teleology does not predict a steady improvement of conditions, but the constant sharpening of contradictions as capitalism causes its own inevitable, chaotic collapse.

4·1 month agoIt was actually Pennsylvania that had the emancipation law. When George Washington was president, Philadelphia was the temporary capital, as Washington D.C. was still being built. If you watch the John Adams miniseries from HBO, you can see the moment Adams moves into the White House while it is still being built (by slaves of course).

George Washington was a wealthy slave owner who hired a bounty hunter to hunt down a teenage slave girl who ran away from his house (while he was president).
Thomas Jefferson was quite literally a pedophile, while also being a wealthy slave owner.
James Madison had a secret half-black son who he SOLD AWAY when his wife got annoyed with him.
Woodrow Wilson held a special screening of “Birth of a Nation” (the pro-KKK movie) IN THE WHITE HOUSE. He is also in the credits of that movie as a consultant.
Harry S. Truman committed a genocide against Korea.
LBJ and Nixon committed acts of genocide in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Reagan: AIDS crisis, Iran-Contra, “War on Drugs,” destroying Unions, etc. (list of crimes is too long to recount).
George W. Bush: Directly caused millions of deaths in the middle east.
In reality, Donald Trump has just taken all the special qualities of previous presidents and combined them into one “Voltron” of American leadership. The power of racism, the power of pedophilia, the power of genocide, the power of willful ignorance, and the power of capitalist realism combine into one, the ULTIMATE AMERICAN.

29·1 month agoI predict that 2026 will be the “year of the pervert.” Trump will pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. Every twitter post will have 100 replies to it containing AI nudity. You know how they say every technology, from photography to the VHS to DVD to Blu-Ray to the internet is propelled forward by pornography first? Apply that truism to LLMs. Apply it to humanoid robotics. Apply it to AI slop videos.
Marx once said that as the contradictions of capitalism intensify, “All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned,” and after capitalism has commodified relationships with dating apps, now they will commodify every aspect of human interactions. Shame will die. The Overton window will shift in the direction of commodifying people’s bodies for sexual gratification being an “inevitable” outcome of the free market.
“Grok would like to sincerely apologize that our Grok-powered KillDrone3000 shot a full clip of bullets into those protesters. It was a failure of our safeguards and a violation of laws against murder. X-Robotics is reviewing to prevent future issues. Sincerely, Grok.”
