Except completely incompetent but somehow MORE successful than their fictional counterparts.

Turns out that Idiocracy was too OPTIMISTIC 😮‍💨

Vehemently Loitering Despite Legality?
Voluptuous Lauren Delivers Lettuce?

that gif makes him look a bit entitled

Yeah, I can see how it could be interpreted that way out of context, but in context it’s a joke about how he has very old-fashioned breakfast habits, dialed up to 11 for increased hilarity 😁

There’s The Intercept, Common Dreams, and The New Republic for article based news.

Zeteo does both articles and video.

As far as short form podcasts/YouTube shows go, there’s The Bitchuation Room and The Damage Report, for medium/long form there’s Some More News and Even More News.

And before you dismiss most of them because they’re clearly biased in favor of left wing viewpoints, I’m gonna remind you that your criteria was factual accuracy, which isn’t mutually exclusive with honest and transparent bias as long as your bias isn’t toward counterfactuality AKA lying.

Or put another way: we all have biases and the ones who are honest about them are generally much more trustworthy than the ones who try to hide them behind forced neutrality riddled with false equivalency.

I’m guessing the last two are just her deliberately fucking with her grandchild 😄

Nah, he’s a grumpy but kind libertarian (ACTUAL non-hypocrite libertarian who just wants to be left alone without hurting anyone and be self-sufficient, not the RL GOP kind) with three ex-wives all named Tammy and a significant fortune in gold buried somewhere.

Of the many things he is, a Karen is thoroughly not one.

Playing Ultima Online on pay by the minute dial up when i still lived at home had my dad rightfully apoplectic every time the bill arrived 😬😄

Someone has a favorite GIF 😁

🤤

Yes, please. I’ll have them the same way Ron Swanson haves his eggs and bacon for breakfast:

…fajitas are the heart of Chinese cuisine?

Sounds like that could cause a lot of awkwardness 🤔

Raw onions and chili peppers can fuck off as far as I’m concerned.

All other ways to eat onions and peppers, though? Yes, please!

They probably like the stinging/burning sensation in their mucous membranes.

Alright then, I hope you like your steak well done 🤷

Personally, I find the fact that they take pains to point out that it’s vegan and cruelty free the most offensive since

1: pointing it out kinda implies that they expect people to expect meat byproducts and cruelty from their perfumes and

2: the Venn diagram of people who would want a bacon perfume and people who are vegan and/or are actively conscious about animal testing and other cruelty associated with consumerism probably features infinitesimal overlap, if any 😄

Would you fathom me? I’d fathom me so hard.

Sure, but still a number which it is possible to fathom.

Thanks for reminding me of an A Bit of Fry and Laurie sketch 😁❤️

Why isn’t that argument taken more seriously by people on the left as an implicit admission that the left is politically weaker or less effective at wielding power?

Because the Left doesn’t get to wield any power and the right wing Dems care more about not upsetting their owner donors and their friends than insignificant details like justice and the needs and wants of their constituents.

If one side “can’t get away with” actions that the other can, doesn’t that suggest a real imbalance rather than moral superiority?

It’s both and also a secret third thing:

Republicans are MUCH more brazen and shameless, MUCH more skilled at messaging, AND the right wing Dems in power would rather still get paid the big bucks than do their job, see above.
