Mike Johnson Says Men Need to Stop 'Playing Video Games All Day' and Get to Work: 'They're Draining Resources'

Jump

  • Go fuck yourself Magic Mike. I work 50 hours a week and video games are my pleasant distraction from that work. You should try it sometime. Working, I mean.

    • Trump just made it harder to have a kid in America

    Jump

  • Porque no los dos?

    • House Republicans Are Set to Pass a Voter Suppression Bill That Would Disenfranchise Millions | “It’s a five-alarm fire for American voters and for election officials”

    Jump

  • "Ah we'll just vote them out in 2-4 years and we can go back to brunch."

    There are no guard rails this time. No guard rails! This problem won't just go away on its own, as this very bill demonstrates.

    • Framework Stops Selling Some of Its Laptops in the U.S. Due to Tariffs

    Jump

  • Screw Steve Jobs for foisting the disposable tech business model upon the world, and screw Trump for depriving us of one of the very few products that stands against that business model.

    • Trump and Musk constructed an alternate reality and now we’re all living in it

    Jump

  • At least the Herman Cain kooks have an award they can earn for their kookery.

    • Elon Musk says Saturday's protesters were "paid puppets." That's not what I saw.

    Jump

  • Yeah? Where's my George Soros check Elon? Where's my fucking money Elon? WHERE IS IT?

    • Video of the Crowds in Columbus As Part of Today's Nationwide Protest Against Trump and Musk

    Jump

  • Hundreds of people turned out in Xenia and Dayton. I was really impressed at how Ohioans are fighting back!

    • S&P 500 Has Worst Day Since June 2020 as Trade War Sets Off Slump

    Jump

  • I think someone else coined the term "Trump Slump" but man is it just perfect.

    • Tech CEOs who grinned behind Trump at inauguration lose billions in wake of tariffs

    Jump

    • Cory Booker's anti-Trump speech on the Senate floor has lasted 13 hours and counting

    Jump

  • Been a while since we've had a good talking filibuster.

    • ~1000 People Showed up To Tesla Takedown Protests in Columbus Yesterday. Here's a Photo of Part of the Crowd

    Jump

  • The ones in Cinci and Dayton have been growing, enough that the local TV news has showed up to a few. Columbus has been going a lot longer and much more consistently, though... I'm jealous.

    • Bernie Sanders and AOC’s Rallies Can Become a Mass Movement

    Jump

  • I've been disappointed that Obama was center-right since 2009. Biggest letdown politician I've ever seen.

    • Walmart fires 6'4" cisgender woman threatened by man who thought she was trans

    Jump

  • Heard about this one through a trans friend. I hope she sues the fuck out of them.

    • Disturbing Video Shows Masked Men Hauling Away Pro-Palestine Student – Her Whereabouts Are Unknown

    Jump

  • How long before these tactics are employed against citizens and permanent residents? How long before "pro-Palestinian" becomes "to the left of Chuck Schumer"?

    • Pete Hegseth Sent Secret War Plans to Journalist by Accident: Report

    Jump

  • This is better than the time Alex Jones' defense lawyer accidentally sent a phone backup to the prosecution.

    • Donald Trump suggests US could join British Commonwealth

    Jump

  • I just don't see this happening. Why would he accept anyone else being king?

    • Seniors won't complain if they miss a Social Security check, Lutnick says

    Jump

  • They have touched the third rail of American politics, let's see how long it takes for their own stupidity to kill them.

    • Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand Trump A Censorship Machine

    Jump

  • Companies are the real constituents, unfortunately.

    I'm not a lawyer, but I think this could kill the US side of the fediverse by saddling small, independent operators with legal burden, forcing them to shut down rather than spend thousands on legal fees or fines. Like the UK's Online Safety Act, something disguised as "Save The Children!" will only serve to entrench large oligopolies at the expense of everyone else.

    • USAID employees told to burn or shred classified documents

    Jump

  • Hopefully someone has offsite backups.

    • Help, I think my cat is a vampire

    Jump

  • Just give her time, she'll come around. It may take a few weeks because cats can be stubborn like that. I assume you've tried coaxing her out for food or play during the day?

    Coincidentally, my cat's name is also Luna, it's a cute name!
