Don't worry pills will be banned on 1/20 anyway

after watching this, i'm thinking someone ambitious could do a whole The Most Dangerous Game kinda thing when you see how many CEOs live in the wilderness of Montana. also, Justin Timberlake is out there...

Inbox: ‘Wanted’ posters of healthcare CEOs wheatpasted around lower Manhattan ahead of today’s Goldman Sachs Financial Services conference.

“Those who would steal from us have names, faces, and addresses. Justice will only come from the working class,” per anon communique.

as they say, "that idea's so crazy that it just might work". ofc, I've only heard this said by fictional characters in movies with far-fetched plots, but it does get said.

i get that we can fight about everything but some of the things i see us fighting about these days it surprises me folks

im not disappointed im just angry

what are we fighting about

gotta say all the fake alibis popping up are making me laugh

i started to make a song for all those pharmacist out there to the tune of dylan's "i pity the poor immigrant". the amount of shit they have to deal with. i went a whole week w/o my meds recently due to some supply chain bullshit and you can just tell the pharmacist have this mask of steel due to being yelled at so much. i kept my patience but it is hard as fuck to stay cool when you're off your meds and the only person that can help you wants to get off the phone as soon as possible.

I think we all agree that on some level CEO's fearing for their lives because their companies are blood-sucking leeches on the body of society is a good thing. Where there is some disagreement is whether the Mangione Method constitutes a pleasant daydream or a workable plan, because the job pays nothing and the fringe benefits suck. It's looking for volunteers for a suicide mission via Craig's List.

Taking in the context that that postering action was a tactical effort in response to a financial services conference, I can see the strategy to letting oligarchs & capitalists know that their days of anonymity are ending. That doesn't bother me. It's not like there are targets over their mug shots.

Well not yet

Technically I've been banned from the Hyatt Grand Central and photographed by security for protesting an investors conference in the past, so my opinion is coming from a certain place.

Good thing the government we elected will make this all worse!

Enshittification really is the word of the decade, isn't it.

Sadly, yes.

"Enshittification" was the American Dialect Society's word of the year in 2023 and the The Macquarie Dictionary (national dictionary of Australia)'s word of the year in 2024

So I'd say tipsy and Raymond are both on to something.

A Upenn professor had to apologize for showing support for Luigi on social media.

at this rate, professor toad will never get tenure

lmao

its fun and games for the rest of us but opinion columnists still have to go to work

a Luigi Mangione is something to be

my god, does being a dumb contrarian make him orgasm or something

xpost lol

Brian Thompson is also the true Italian

i simply can't believe that is real

Bret must be spending a lotta time on LinkedIn lately. As much as I hate it, I have to use it for career related purposes and there has been a TON of Brian Thompson is a "hero", "good guy", "all American dream", "martyr" nauseating bullshit from the hustle and grind bootlickers all over that site.

I believe Bret came to it organically, give him some credit lol

awarding a young autistic lad funding for vital transformative therapy and then making the *difficult* decision of withdrawing it because you are a vile piece of shit who works for billionaire interests. Need more 3d printers, more Luigi's pls.

Piers Morgan asked Antichrist Peter Thiel what he would say to people who celebrated Luigi Mangione — who was a fan of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk — murdering an insurance CEO.
