Low demand?? Birth control is in low demand??? I’m surprised that Costco doesn’t sell a smaller spoon to make this horseshit a little more palatable.
Nothing sells capitalism as inherently fascist faster than every corporation racing to obey the regime in advance.

Set us free, R*/Remedy
Oh good, while they’re there maybe they can help build housing or provide food for the homeless people Trump wants to get rid of.
Can’t be homeless if you got a home!
I can hear every sound referenced in this thread in my head.
Same here - I was on Reddit for close to 20 years. After the purge, I had to stop because it literally became unbearable. Reddit is now fake dead pet pity posts, brain dead relationship outrage baiting, unintelligible post titles and comments, and barely obfuscated advertising.
Apparently, it’s more profitable than ever; a monument to enshitification.
The sad part is Trump could single handedly end homelessness in Washington DC and still be one of the richest and most powerful people in the world, but he is literally and physically incapable of even having that thought.
Malignant narcissists are literally insane.
Sickness is health… War is peace… Ignorance is strength…
What a great way to prepare students for our AI enabled social media and digital surveillance society. Take note kids, trust no one!
Nothing. If people are protesting invasive bloat with by saying they’d rather have Clippy, I’d rather go back to Notepad.
However, it appears that Windows 11 notepad has fallen prey as well? Maybe then I need a profile pic of a needle and a magnetic plate…
Predatory software has become so bad that now we have to use the previous generation’s intrusive hated features to protest the new ones.
I cannot imagine anything more narcissistic than projecting your own rabid sexism and authoritarianism on to “God.”
There is no god, it’s just your own ego Pete. You don’t strike me as a true believer either, and so I think you know this.
I have a theory that narcissistic projection is the core mechanism of fascism. That is why fascist leaders are almost always malignant narcissists, and tyrannical narcissists are always fascistic in their relationships. It follows that if you don’t like something, there would be no concept as to why you couldn’t just delete it. Why wouldn’t you?
I never thought I would need to save a backup copy of the Constitution…
Who actually benefits from this? The only “goal” I can see here is intentional depopulation. But when the next pandemic hits, and there’s no vaccine for 3 years because research funding has been gutted, who will be left to work for all these rich assholes and sustain the economy all their money depends on?
I just cannot fathom that RFK is such a demented narcissist so high on his own farts that he actually believes the shit that comes out of his mouth. There just has to be another endgame I’m not seeing. But what??
Either they’re trying to kill us all, or the inmates are running the asylum except they think the asylum should be run like a business.
I would roll my eyes at this, but if I were to do so it would be so hard as to pop them out of my head. We flew off the “Orwellian” cliff months ago, and we are free falling into a canyon of insanity deeper than the Mariana’s trench.
To call the trump administration “Orwellian” is an understatement almost as insane as Trump itself. Does language even exist anymore?
NTSB chair Jennifer Homedy said the FAA supervisor “elbowed an employee midsentence during the AA 5342 hearing today, and the employee stopped speaking”
Literally, physically ELBOWED them in an NTSB proceeding with the chairwoman present… Are we living in a fucking cartoon?
The browbeating Homedy gave the FAA says it all. Trump’s FAA lobotomy and FAA inaction directly contributed to those 67 deaths. Then, after the crash they went ahead with the cuts anyways.
Remember what happened the last time the FAA sewed its lips to the corporate asshole?
Civil disobedience is a peaceful way to protest unfair laws when the regular methods of changing the law are too restricted or too slow to protect the civil rights of citizens. Civil disobedience in this case would be refusing to check out or read books that they find objectionable, if the government were to mandate that they be read.
You could make the argument that government is mandating this content if public schools assign it to students, but there is no real punishment under the law for rejecting a school assignment. It’s that they don’t want YOU to have access to this information, which is the opposite of civil disobedience: oppression. If the government were to mandate the removal of this content, as these citizens would like, the act of disobedience would be to read the books.
This is stealing from a public library.
