Big fan of the Mouse.

“Scrubs” or “cleanses?” I’m pretty confident I know which word Hitler Jr. would use.

If you’re getting something for free, you aren’t the consumer, you are the product. Open Source projects (free as in speech) need some way to pay for the beer (not free). Enshittification is accelerating the conversion of services that have some form of free tier into more aggressively finding ways to monetize those users. Even services you pay for are selling your data, to make sure they can get maximum juice.

I would guess the line between the two groups is about one plank wide.

Well, the dismantling of the NOAA, the lack of local regulations on construction and zoning, the lack of land management policies, the lack of education and preparedness all seem to disproportionately affect Republican voting communities. This is a failure of the blueprint.

Some Doritos Locos Tacos sound really good for lunch. Can’t say that about the Confederacy.

The whole point of everything they’re doing is to create an uneducated population of easily manipulated fodder. Of course people are forgetting. This effort has been running for 20-30 years (or longer) at this point, and it’s working.

This, right here, is the highest quality “Shower Thought” I’ve ever encountered. You win!

Basically, yeah.

And you don’t give others credit for understanding this, and making their own layered joke? 👍

How much commission did the giant Cheeto get for this art using an image of his favorite beans?

I’m too lazy to find it right now, but there was a fascinating article from the 90’s I remember reading with a breakdown of the perspective that Through the Looking Glass was a take-down of a lot of the cutting edge mathematical theories being explored in his time.

Technically it started as late as 2020, and as early as 2014.

Watch out Mexico. These avocado toasts don’t grow on trees, ya’know.
