When I was a kid growing up in the Midwest, this is what I thought tacos were. And then a friend took me to a legit Mexican joint as a teenager and my mind was blown

Not enough ads in between sentences

Kinda disappointed the friend didn't check with the driver at all and instead just wanted to leave the scene

It reminds me of when I got jumped and robbed by three dudes and someone called the cops cuz I was yelling for help. They showed up after the dudes fled and told me that even if they found em the courts would just let em back out on the streets tomorrow anyway. People really think the cops are just held on too tight a leash when really they're lazy

Prohibition was a disaster in the US tho. You can't even stop people from fermenting sugar in prison.

I thought it was shrapnel until I saw this pic. Dude is truly unbelievably fucking lucky https://web.archive.org/web/20240714051956/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/us/politics/photo-path-trump-assassination.html

There are an infinite number of universes where Trump got domed and we live in the only one where the bullet grazed his ear

I can't even begin to recount all the fucked up shit I went through a few years ago just trying to advocate for the right of Black people to not be murdered by police. DURING the Biden administration, to be clear.

Obama murdered a 16-year-old who wasn't even accused of a crime and got away with it, but I guess the rules are different when the victim is Muslim

If I were Biden, I'd nuke Mar A Lago

Speaking of history, I can’t say I’d relish hollering alongside people who’ve only studied it on TikTok.

Never seen a more perfect example of the kind of smug self-superior liberal in my life

People seem to constantly forget that the working class is mostly women of color. "I drive buses" or "I serve food" would have been better

Citations Needed has a great episode about the phrase "middle-class". "It’s a capitalist carrot hovering over our heads telling us such things are possible if we Only Work Harder. More than anything, it's a way for politicians to gesture towards populism without the messiness of mentioning––much less centering––the poor and poverty." https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-91-its-time-to-retire-the-term-middle-class
