Restaurant operator, volunteer conservationist, low budget philosopher. I am a strange loop.

One thing I’ve learned about myself is that I will reflexively like Simpsons memes almost without exception and regardless of context. This visceral instinct might get me in trouble one day, but I’m at peace with that.

@TheGayModer8 @Qagggy Least antisocial conservative lol

Poverty exists not because we can't feed the poor, but because we can never satisfy the rich.

@Mynorthwest Also grocery stores use loss leaders all the time. Imagine having an emotional stake in a massive corporation lol

@Mynorthwest Kroger showed a profit of 4.9 BILLION in 2025 but some people just can’t quit that corporate propaganda https://t.co/czATR9y6P0

@DivestSPD The anti-govt crowd tagging every bloated incompetent agency they can think of over a 90’s hip hop reference you can’t make this shit up lol

Y’all get what this is, right? Just by touching you with these gloves, cops can literally force your body to involuntarily spasm in a way that looks enough like “resisting arrest” on a bodycam video to justify beating your brains out & shooting you dead consequence-free

I setup a lemonade stand to teach my daughter about capitalism.

At the end of the day she made $54.

I charged her $20 to use my lawn and rent my table, and $12 in supplies. Then I took my cut of $20.

"But daddy, that means I didn't make any money today"

I explained that since I am the investor who took the biggest risk, I’m entitled to the most money.

We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we almost never question why billionaires are never satisfied with what they already have.

@RepJayapal We don’t want unmasked people in marked cars doing this shit either.

[Dear Self. @Dearme2_]

A VERY unpopular opinion; humans were never meant to be this busy. That’s why everyone is anxious and depressed.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”

Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”

Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”

Then Jesus said unto the poor, “this is your own fault.”

We really CANNOT have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We cannot have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We cannot have peace because it threatens the weapons industry. Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business.
