Your comment prompted me to look this up and, yeah, people aren’t really brand loyal anymore.

Perhaps it’s an age thing? When I was younger, nearly everything we used was tied tightly to a brand, and I can’t tell you how many jingles I’ll never forget. Now there are a few very strong brands, but otherwise people shop around more and are swayed more by reviews and influencers than because ‘it’s the best part of waking up’.

You’re right. Back in the day, brands could endure. Nowadays, we can see through them, and people aren’t brand-loyal like we used to be.

If corporations want to be people, we can treat them as people. And when they show us their cowardice in the face of fascism, we can ostracise them just like we do that intolerable uncle.

Smithsonian used to be a very prestigious brand of science.

Too bad that’s now been ruined.

I’d really hoped they’d stand up to the fascism, but apparently no. That was too much to ask.

From now on, I’m calling the paedophile in chief the Turbulent Priest. Maybe someone will solve it.

On the plus side, this fucker has given me a reason to live. I am now determined to outlive him out of spite.

Busy masturbating with dildos made of money in every orifice. And then inventing new orifices.

No. Easy question.

Neat. Not at all too late or anything. Cool.

The ‘born into wealth’ bar is so large, you’d need a microscope to see any other bars.

Ever seen the difference in wealth between millions and billions?

Put another way, Elon could spend a million dollars a day for a thousand years and still be a billionaire.

When people are starving and can’t get healthcare or basic needs, that’s just fucking disgusting.

Slava Ukraine.

We need to start calling this Trump’s Folly everywhere and for now on.

There. Are. Six. Hands.

Quick reminder that Ivanka made her dad swear not to date anyone younger than her when she was 17.

Totally normal conversation for a teen girl to have with her father, and not horribly creepy at all.

Like, what the fuck prompted her to ask him to promise this?

Surely not whatever is implied by these photos:

You should pay the first few marks so they’ll help establish the veneer of credibility. That’s Conning 101.

I forget the corresponding Ferengi Rule of Acquisition number.

Shocked any received it, honestly.

Yeah, the reason I referenced the ‘nothing to hide’ thing was because he’s a lawman, and that’s a lawman saying.

I agree with you.

Great, thanks.

So how about we get enraged and vow to fight the blatant fascism going on in [gesturing about broadly].

Too much to ask?

Why would he? Nothing to hide, etc.

As the prosecutor during a nonfascist stint of the government, he was doing his actual job. That sounds ludicrous to these fascist weasels, but weirdly, he wasn’t doing politics. He was a prosecutor for The Hague, IIRC. A by-the-book career man. He literally has nothing to hide here.

It’s so annoying that so many people think everything is intrigue and spycraft when most government jobs are very boring just do-your-job monotony. Stop thinking everything is like movies and learn some real life shit, please. The world is far more boring than you think.

Unfortunately, they can do quite a lot of damage before they fail.

We really need to understand that Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show.

We’ve mythologised fascists to the point we’ve made recognising them difficult.

Oh wow, she’s beautiful!

Is there a /c/supermodelcats?

e: sadly, not yet

Pretty sure the torts in those photos are plotting assassinations. You can see it in their eyes.
