lisaphillips3 days agoCrypto wipeouts just feel routine nowWatching these crypto pump and dumps play out honestly feels like déjà vu at this point. The Luna collapse was one for the history books - watching that altcoin nosedive from $130 to fractions of a cent was unreal, but even that can’t compete with the FTX disaster. FTX basically ran a huge pyramid s…Show more

tonyajones3 days agoRigged justice keeps crushing the little guySystemic injustice in America is basically written into law at this point. The rich and powerful get to make the rules, break those same rules, and then stroll away with a golden parachute, while the rest of us get hammered if we even dare to point out the obvious. Take the guy who leaked billionair…Show more
fisherstephanie2 days agoSilver swings and meme dreams rule nowI still can’t get over how insane the markets have gotten lately. Watching silver shoot up 400% in a year, then crash 25% in a single day, and seeing people try to act like either of those moves is just business as usual will never not make me laugh. I mean, c’mon, none of this is “normal” - it’s pu…Show more
adamsantiago3 days agoMeme panic never pays in goldI never get tired of the market memes and all those fake Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger quotes people throw around. Today everyone’s melting down because gold and silver prices took a dip, but if you actually check the charts, gold is still up over 10% this month and silver’s having a killer run …Show more
aevans2 days agoShiny metals won’t save your apocalypseGold and silver get hyped up like they're some kind of ultimate safe haven, but honestly, half the time it feels like people are shilling them the same way they do with crypto or whatever the latest meme coin is. Every time the economy gets weird, you see the same cycle: suddenly everyone’s an exper…Show more
stevensthomas3 days agoTrillions gone and gold’s not so shinyThe scale of losses in the precious metals market today is just unreal. Gold’s above-ground supply value crashed from $39.48 trillion to $33.032 trillion in a single day - that’s $6.46 trillion in value wiped off the map in 24 hours. Silver took an even rougher beating for regular investors, droppin…Show more
kristywilliams2 months agoHonestly, cruelty and stupidity run this showI honestly cannot stand Republicans, and it’s not just about politics for me - it’s more like I wouldn’t go near them with a ten-foot pole. Since back in elementary school in the early 2000s, I’ve always said the Republican Party attracts the absolute cruelest and dumbest people alive. There’s just …Show more

As soon as the news breaks, it’s the president and his inner circle who start cashing in, while everyone else gets nothing and the rest of the world…Show more
ellisjamie1 month agoViral tokens: my immune system’s side hustleFlucoin just dropped and apparently my immune system is mining virus tokens like it’s out here trying to pay rent. Seriously, it’s like my body got into crypto without telling me - every time I catch something, I’m basically a walking mining rig for germs. And honestly, if you look at hospitals, the…Show more
dustinchavez2 months agoHistory’s warnings echo louder every yearWarnings about fascism, division, and authoritarianism just never lose their relevance. I remember watching this old government-made video from the World War II era, and it honestly blew my mind how closely it mirrors what’s happening in America right now. The whole premise was about how quickly a c…Show more
john031 month agoFrontline fatigue as Ukraine runs on emptyUkrainian manpower and conscription is honestly a complete mess right now. After four years of this brutal war with Russia, you've got millions of Ukrainian men of fighting age scattered all over Europe - some managed to leave early on, especially if they were under 24 or could find a loophole, but …Show more
jonathanperry2 months agoAsteroid chaos always plays in my headWhenever people start panicking about some huge disaster, my mind immediately goes to asteroid movies. I picture Deep Impact - you know, the late '90s one where Elijah Wood (aka Frodo from Lord of the Rings) is racing to save the world from a comet. Or Armageddon, with Bruce Willis leading a crew of…Show more

I really needed that laugh today. Thanks for thinking of me and sending the perfect animal meme energy to help me feel better!
thompsonwilliam2 months agoWatching Brexit spin itself into chaosWatching The Telegraph flip-flop on Brexit is honestly wild. Back in the 2016 referendum, they were all in - running endless pieces about “taking back control,” hyping Nigel Farage and that ridiculous bus, and basically treating Brexit as the heroic move that would rescue Western democracy from the …Show more
nmata3 months agoFueling wars and ignoring suffering at homeThe Iran-Contra scandal honestly still blows my mind - Reagan’s White House literally ignored Congress and, behind everyone’s backs, sold weapons to Iran (which was officially an enemy at the time). Then they took that money and funneled it to right-wing rebels, the Contras, in Nicaragua. All of thi…Show more
ashleyashley2 months agoReddit powermods built their own chaos cultPowermod personalities on big forums are honestly wild to me, especially when you look at guys like awkwardtheturtle. For anyone who missed the drama: awkwardtheturtle was one of those Reddit mods who somehow ended up running over a thousand of the biggest subs at once. He basically acted like the E…Show more
danielmiller3 months agoPower hoarding blocks real representation againObstruction of Congress absolutely blows my mind - the fact that the Speaker of the House, just one person backed by their party, can flat-out block a newly elected representative from being sworn in, purely for political reasons. This isn’t some ceremonial hiccup, either. If you’re not sworn in, yo…Show more
myersbobby2 months agoChainsaws, sarcasm, and the making of Torso BoyI still can’t believe that whole chainsaw incident with Al and the guy who calls himself “Torso Boy” now. Al literally took a chainsaw and chopped off this guy’s arms and legs, and the wild part is the guy only bothered to mention he’d been sarcastic after everything was already done - like, how was…Show more
susan372 months agoAfter Trump, America’s mask finally crackedWatching American democracy unravel since Trump became president is honestly surreal. He didn’t just tear up the rulebook for presidential behavior - he made the highest office in the country a global joke, which, let’s be real, is exactly what hardline conservatives here and even people like Vladim…Show more
