The Order of the Perpetually Tired
Opinionated and sarcastic, but I have a cute dog, so people tend to tolerate me. I also laugh when the rich get eaten, so do us both a favor and preemptively block or mute me instead of getting preachy and self-righteous if it bothers you.

My favorite No Kings sign today in Villa Park IL (wish I got a picture): "Flip me off if you voted for a pedophile"

👀 This is just 1 of 24 #NoKings protests in #SanDiego (the main event, but there’s plenty more and still some yet today)

I know people say if you're going to No Kings or any other protest you need to do this and that, or list all the things you should do, but really all you need to do is show up and walk around for a bit.

Really. Just another body there sends a message.

It's not scary, you don't have to do anything. Just show up and hang out with some nice people for a while.

I hate it when people are like "we shouldn't be doing space exploration, we should be feeding/helping our people".

We could absolutely be doing BOTH. There's no reason we couldn't help everyone AND do cool scientific exploration.

First, of course, we'd have to stop warring with each other and giving all our money to a tiny handful of psychopaths.

Some hero renamed the White House on Google Maps as Epstein Island. Bless you, whoever you are.
Post reporters called the White House. Their phones showed ‘Epstein Island.’ https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2026/03/27/white-house-google-database-epstein/

Washington Post journalists who called the White House switchboard using Google Pixel Android phones saw “Epstein Island” on their screens Thursday.
