If there's one thing you should know about Republicans, it's that they love invading other countries and cutting taxes on the rich.

Why would you believe that voting Trump would mean 'no new wars'? That was dipshit stupidity.

Trump wants to invade Panama. Trump wants to invade Greenland. Trump's expansionism isn't isolationist. Trump was never an isolationist.

The strongest possible posture Trump can have is beginning war and invading neighbors, so that's what Trump is going to do.

You made your world a hellscape because you were fooled by a photo op with a McDonald's. All of those good feelings now meet the hard reality of stupid boomer politics.

Pathetic, incompetent wretches. Easily duped.

Look at Project 2025 preparing zoomers and gen A for the draft. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/project-2025-high-school-military-exam/

Look at @TracingWoodgrains on twitter thinking that Greenland wants to join the United States in a 'voluntary empire.' Dude no one wants to pay US taxes for US wars.

I want Greenland to join with us so badly

just look at it. it's beautiful

c'mon Greenland I swear we'd treat you right https://t.co/uoqMSISrlF pic.twitter.com/VTLvTfKovX

TracingWoodgrains is the poster child for this cluster of smug ignorant dipshits clustered around substack and Thielbucks who are disconnected from reality. Trump is just an old person enacting the fascist demiurge and it's not more complicated than that. The "voluntary empire" already exists, it's the trade network between nations and defense agreements allowing us to put military in any fricking country we want without having to pay the overhead of administering vast territories.

Expansionism is stupid. An entire segment of the online chatterati under Musk devoted to seriously entertaining a lunatic boomer. It'd be tragic if it weren't so funny. People really are this dumb. TracingWoodgrains really is this dumb.

like, those litmags are media for Writers and Readers, while every writer who has something to say tosses it up on Substack or somewhere and has more cultural impact than every one of those litmags combined

TracingWoodgrains is one of those ambitious young people so enamored with the idea of having an impact that he disdains the cultural achievements of real writers. Maybe no one reads litmags, but the only thing worse than not being read is being read by an audience that consists exclusively of morons who still haven't caught up to the fact that Trumpism is fascism: you can tell because the military expansionist tic has just been activated.

Tips please

WARNING: EXTREMELY BORING AND PERSONAL BLOGPOST AHEAD, I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT READ IT UNLESS YOU'RE A OR MY FRIEND. THANK YOU.

i debated whether or not to make this post but ultimately decided i should lay out my reasons for (attempting) to quit using the site again, if only to get one last good dose of attention, maybe get some finality, and exist as a cautionary tale. this is not a "frick you userbase" post or insistence for the administration to do anything about the sites content or userbase, simply my logic for why i think i personally should stop using it. i would also generally advise other trans people to avoid the site as well but i know plenty of people who do get something out of reading chud shitholes (seriously i see so many ovarit/kf screenshots on tttt reddit its insane).

anyway i have the big depression. i'm not the most suicidal i've ever been and i'm not considering self harm but i would describe my mental state as seriously fricked up bros. this means more bedrotting, more binge eating, more lapses in executive function, more isolation. i've also for the first time in my short 27 year timespan on this earth actually dug more into these feelings and analyzed them, though this has not lead to any great understanding or an "a-ha" moment on my part. at best it's made me relate more to the stereotypical descriptions of depression and dysphoria. i'm not gonna go too deep into that because its embarrassing tbh. in the past i haven't really considered rdrama to be a major factor in this. a contributor to be sure but i always thought i got more out of it than it took for me. maybe that was delusion or maybe i was just better at tanking the damage in the past. maybe i just took enough and longer breaks and i was never cut out for using the site for an extended period of time. idk. here's some conjecture for why i think its particularly bad for me now:

1) half the country despises my existence and while this fact has always been true it hasn't been as relevant. this leads to me being inundated with a double dose of hatred shoved into my face, first when i see the news elsewhere and again when i browse rdrama. and yes i know nothing ever happens and im being hysterical and yadda yadda yadda. nobody can take my HRT away from me, diy exists. nobody (besides immigrants) is going to be put into camps, things will get better it'll just take time. doesn't mean it's not scary. should i be scared boymoding in a red state? probably not but seeing a news article about kim reynolds trying to legally declare me subhuman certainly isn't fricking helping me not be scared.

2) rdrama has just continued to go on a downward spiral? being someone who started using 4chan at age 12 in 2010 and was constantly called out for being a newstrag, i never really bought into "communities degrade over time" rhetoric. mainly because people are always saying shit is getting worse and i was either too dumb to recognize it or part of the problem myself in the past. but anyway. its definitely a thing with rdrama. a lot of users i liked or at least recognized as someone worth my time have been banned or left the site. and the people coming in to replace them are not the best and brightest. its just. i really really don't care if youre a chud. like yes seeing your ignorant opinions about certain topics does tend to make me flare up with angst, but i really try to not take it too seriously and just have a fun time. it just feels like people aren't coming here to have a fun time or shoot the shit about hobbies or do a little casual reddit trolling. it feels like they're coming here to make themselves and everyone around them miserable.

3) i have better social avenues elsewhere. i'm not talking about tttt because i don't think i'll ever feel like i fit in there, but i do have a friend now who i feel like is on a similar wavelength to me. and interacting with that person has made me realize i have so much more me to express than i am capable of doing on rdrama. its a rather dire comparison that has made me realize more and more how fricking stupid i am for putting up with this for so long. i said it the other day, lonely people tend to act deranged, and it turns out having your sole social outlet be a website full of people that hate you is pretty fricking deranged. being surrounded by people that hate me has been my modus operandi for a long time (much longer than i've been on rdrama), and only now am i realizing how fricked up that is. i'm not conceited enough to say i'm finally growing up, but i do think this time is a little bit different. idk we'll see i guess lmao

thats that. i'll respond to comments here but after that im outie 5k, gonna log out everywhere and scramble my password again. i once again do not know how to end this post

Linux Foundation launches Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers initiative with backing from Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Opera

As Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, explains, "This project will provide much-needed funding and development support for open development of projects within the Chromium ecosystem."

The Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers initiative will operate as a neutral platform, enabling collaboration while maintaining the existing governance structures of Chromium projects. By removing barriers and encouraging broader participation, the initiative hopes to expand adoption and ensure ongoing progress in the ecosystem.

Major industry players, including Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Opera, have pledged their support. Google's VP of Chrome, Parisa Tabriz, said, "With the incredible support of the Linux Foundation, we believe this initiative is an important opportunity to create a sustainable platform for continued development and innovation in the Chromium ecosystem."

This new project will follow an open governance model, prioritizing transparency, inclusivity, and community-driven development. A technical advisory committee will be established to guide its efforts and address the needs of the broader Chromium community.

https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/01/09/1728246/tech-giants-form-chromium-browser-coalition

What a giant misstep from the Linux Foundation. Any goodwill Servo had should be flushed down the drain with this. As if Chromium needs more support....

💯 screw TLF! I lost all respect for them.

Firef*x should be the win.

It's more clear than ever that Google cannot be trusted. Their browser is a privacy nightmare, and in the next few years, ads and tracking will be mandatory. MV3 was just the first step. They will ban all ad blockers and privacy extensions in the next few years. Whoever made this decision at the Linux foundation should be ashamed of themselves

if this thing will be successful then in a few years mozilla will switch to this open-chromium, and will throw away the gecko engine... because this chromium will be "totally open and independent from google", and finally they'll be free from the trouble of developing gecko.

I do expect that to happen sooner or later but I did not expect this coalition to happen either lol.

...the nightmare just won't end, will it.

Remember! Make a FOSS tard angry and use Brave!

wtf man? its not even round?? the cheese doesnt cover all the sauce???

seems everyone involved, from the chef to the judges, was drunk as shit

I love when ppl find photos where my mask is off for 5 seconds outside for a photo at my book party where every single attendee had to PCR test, as some kind of gotcha. Like yeah, high risk ppl could safely remove their masks for photos now and then if every event/public space had those precautions!

I think I get that it's not supposed to be funny even though it's a comic. The stylization kind of disagrees though? And it seems like it's trying to deliver some sort of punchline? The girl with the new baby looks to be about 10 years old so maybe it's a deep psyop dunking on palestoid depravity but I don't think that's it either

But it can't be taken at face value because literally look at the whole thing, any and all of it. I really did think there was some sort of intended deeper meaning or humor here when I began this thread but I've just had another look and I'm scrolling the comments and it's apparently dreadfully serious and exactly as it appears to be.

There is no dc reward as I solved this mystery myself but the title is good for eyes so it stays.

I posted about this too... I hated him being abusive and now this "he died" gaslamping stuff is giving me serious panic

First Anna goes off on discount Anna Kasparian (Emma something, the r-slurred host of pod save america or similar podcast, doesn't matter which one they're all the same):

>You're a nepo baby rich b-word, frick you as a staff, record label and as a motherfrickin' crew

I remember Emma telling me, verbatim "I never have to work a day in my life if I don't want to" because of how wealthy her family is. Your mom threw a nice little fundraiser for Sen.

Then some dumbass tried to pin her as jealous of... hasan the r-slurred host of pod save america (all the same, doesn't matter)

At least she’s doing the work… weren’t you also jealous of Hasan..?

— Dieter (@Bukniak) February 2, 2025

Well, surprise, that dude hasan is the nephew (actual nephew, not an nword euphemism) of Anna's long time co-host Chunk Yoghurt and she spills the beans on how he's scared of his viewers and secretly hates them

Hasan is a slave to his audience. I've never seen a man more terrified of the people who watch his streams. I would never be jealous of that. https://t.co/0YfEMSCpMb

— Ana Kasparian (@AnaKasparian) February 2, 2025

I made a joke ONCE about how I'd like to just play video games and make millions and these morons took it literally. I would rather scrub pottys than be Hasan. He's glued to a computer for 8+ hours a day, placating an audience I know for a fact he hates. Maybe don't open up to… https://t.co/XpQmpg1aWI
