Hope for tomorrow and raise our eyes to a silver moon in the open skies

New trick from @united: dehumanize the pasenger by dehumanizing the employees. "Be kind to us, we have no choice" in an obviously AI-generated voice.

[hobbified @hobbified]

Yes, of course he's a criminal, a fraud, and an asshole. That doesn't really set him apart from any other President in my lifetime. But never in history has the US had a President so overtly retarded.

[hobbified @hobbified]

@robreiner We already tried letting the *unconvicted* felons have a go, that didn't work too well either. If there's ever to be any hope for a future for American democracy, it needs to be a future without Democrats *or* Republicans.

@RepMTG antisocial media, rather.

[hobbified @hobbified]

@RepMTG All sitting politicians should be banned from all forms of social media as a general principle.

[hobbified @hobbified]

I support the death penalty for congresspeople who give bills cutesy names that don't accurately describe what they do.

[hobbified @hobbified]

More and more, the people I encounter struggle mightily with sentences of more than one clause, and become confused and angry at the sight of a counterfactual. Maybe we shouldn't have given up on trying to teach grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

@boston25 Hard to find anyone in the world dumber than football players.

[hobbified @hobbified]

which will see the French Revolution not as it happened, nor as they would like it to have happened, but as it would have happened, had it taken place in the days of the Machine.

[hobbified @hobbified]

And in time there will come a generation that had got beyond facts, beyond impressions, a generation absolutely colourless, a generation seraphically free from taint of personality...

[hobbified @hobbified]

I still wave at the dots on the shore
And I still beat my head against the wall
I still rage and wage my little war
I'm a shade, and easy to ignore

[hobbified @hobbified]

You attract more flies with shit.

[hobbified @hobbified]

@RonnyJacksonTX Congratulations, you are ACTUALLY ILLITERATE.

[hobbified @hobbified]

There's nothing awesome here, not a damn thing
There's nothing new
Just a bunch of people, scared
Everybody's fucking scared
Fear eats all the souls at once

[hobbified @hobbified]

Reality is ~20% of people who really want what Dems want, ~20% who really want what GOP wants, and ~60% who wouldn't shed a tear if they all disappeared tomorrow — as long as we don't get left with just *one*.

[hobbified @hobbified]

A party has to project enough strength to be worth supporting, while simultaneously being able to point to an enemy strong enough to explain their persistent failure to achieve their goals. Thus the illusion of the US constantly being 50±1% Democrat and 50±1% Republican.

[hobbified @hobbified]

"Each side is, indeed, quite alive to the cheap quality of the adversary's Unselfishness and of the false position into which he is trying to force them; but each manages to feel blameless and ill-used itself, with no more dishonesty than comes natural to a human."

[hobbified @hobbified]

@ThisIsAMusicSho looking at the latest WRMI schedule it seems like TIAMS may be on 5850, 7730, and 15770 simultaneously, starting tonight?

[hobbified @hobbified]

So a polity using a voting system with independence of clones could rid itself of the numerous evils of political parties. And that is why you will never have such a voting system.

[hobbified @hobbified]

Political parties are a hack around plurality vote's vulnerability to clones (whatever broad ideology runs the *fewest* candidates relative to its popularity will win, so strongarm the number of candidates down to one).
