Fun Fact: Abigail Spanberger has the same number of syllables of Evelyn Normielib.

Progressivism is weakest when it's comfortable and secure. Conversely, it is at its fiercest when it has to fight for its life.

this is why agism against older Dems is bullshit, Mother L3 is 82 and I want her in office forever.

Anyway, Terry Kilgore can go fuck himself, re: challenging the will of voters in court.

I'm holding my breath until the last vote gets counted, but it's looking like Yes won, and I can't tell you how good that feels.

I-am-awake-too-early thought: I don't think I've ever seen someone ask a question with "no?" at the end who wasn't an absolutely insufferable douche. It's also gotten way more common in the last year or two, right alongside the "What do words mean?" crowd.

Freedom stands firm, fascism hangs flaccid.

Like, the minute a franchise becomes recursive enough to metatextually reference itself a la Deadpool 2 and/or No Way Home, it's time to let it rest for a bit and give people time to miss it.

I fully fell off the MCU circa Far From Home (the MCU's epilogue) and Shang-Chi (its last real chance to start over).

At this point, just let it die for ~10 years. There's too much continuity for casual viewing, the movies themselves are formulaic, and a lot of that early spirit is just gone now.

Anyway, repeal the Second Amendment.

The thing that messes with me reading this isn't the individual tragedy; rather, it's that our president is violently insane and spewing threats at everyone and we're all numb to it so this is a slow enough news day for us to hear about a mass shooting because those are just normal now.

I got one an hour or two ago, but I'm seeing fewer overall.

the thing about our current moment is that yes, the anti-AI and anti-big tech people are getting very reactive nowadays - but have you seen what they’re *reacting* to?

It'll just be JCPOA but we pay tribute to Iran and he builds a Trump Tower about it (embezzles the funds, never actually builds the tower)

some mfs missed leia dog walking the tarkin doctrine to his face and it shows

That's one hell of a Republican voter right there

An onion will do well for such a shift

Came here to post this. And I wondered.

What about Blouth/Blorth Blakota?

incredible exchange here, this website has the juice

My favorite thing about Adam Sandler is that Uncut Gems is literally his regular formula but with more dramatic lighting and a tension-inducing soundtrack. It is also the greatest movie I will never watch twice.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Day 23: Did a timed walk to prep for something. It went faster with the cane than it's ever gone without.

Marcille, explain my feelings with an interpretive dance.

I am wrestlepilled and every time I see My Way my brain completely skips Frank Sinatra's heyday by ~40 years.

Bad draft is a lot easier to fix than a blank page

~1400 words is a good day, even if a lot of it will need revisions.

goddammit i was posting and now i have to be productive.
