The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025

Jesus Shitsmuggling Christ. America is fucked.

I don’t totally hate it, personally. More media for the same price, plus physical vs. digital.

Ohh, so I get to pick which awful country is better? Cool choices.

Edit: aaaaaaand the tankies show up.

Just in time, too! Apple recently shoved OpenAI into its OS a while back. Now the government can collect even more data.

Fuck this timeline.

The most 2026 headline I’ve read in a minute.

If the Israeli military is full of “god’s chosen,” I’m so glad I’m an atheist. What a horrific god.

This is the way.

And it’ll be used against protesters. Just wait.

The entire state of Louisiana is corrupt as shit. This doesn’t surprise me.

Same, and I haven’t missed any of the streaming services I used to have. It’s amazing.

That’s probably exactly how I looked lol

This is so dumb, but…

I placed my pen on my desk, a bit towards the edge. I didn’t think about it rolling off. It started to, and I caught it, and moved it at a slightly different angle to stop it.

It happened again, so I moved it again. Didn’t help.

The third time, I grabbed it and was legit mad (why?) and just chucked it into the drawer.

The fact that I got mad embarrassed me lol.

I get the sarcasm, I just don’t… get it.

Facts. This “they go low, we go high” stuff got us stuck with fascism. It’s time to start swinging.

Mourn him properly or else

Thank goodness I have zero use for any of their products.

That’s true, I didn’t even think about that. Having a mastodon instance can be super cheap. But it’s also not usually storing high quality media.

I’m honestly not sure why PeerTube isn’t bigger than it is, aside from a few things.

I would love to have PT as a nice, open competitor to YouTube, like Mastodon is to X and Bluesky (I know Mastodon is much smaller, but you get my meaning). I’d love to see, say, bands throwing their music videos there.

If nothing else, having people yoink YT content and chuck it onto PT. I know they probably can’t, but still.

It’s kind of wild to me that the alternatives to YT aren’t… better. I mean, it’s not as if YT is brand new.

The PeerTube iOS app is just a mess. And I’m not sure, but I think the Odysee app hasn’t been updated since the Second World War.

Holy crap, my entire response sounds like a whiny kid. Maybe instead of me complaining, I should throw up a PT instance and do something meaningful.
