I'd really like it if the aliens came at this point. Maybe they could really turn things around. Or turn us inside out and wear us as suits. Either way is fine, really.

This is what a rigged system looks like.
#RISEUP We must be what they fear. The #USA is an evil Empire of corporate interests. There is no republic, no great leader coming to our rescue. Just regional managers as far as the eye can see.
That just sounds like adulthood.
Watch me swing a sword around and yell at the CDC for not being nerdy enough. youtu.be/LAhpuWY1USE
The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.
Flour comes from a plant, sugar comes from a plant, and chocolate comes from a plant.
So, basically a chocolate chip cookie is a salad.
Thank you for coming to my
Ted talk
I've often worried to the point of existential stress about the idea of having gotten cancer in a different time period. Like what if I was back in foul humor/miasma days and I smelled really nice because of the medieval aromatherapy but I still died in horrible pain. I think about that a lot.
Let's also not forget that even when they pretend to be benevolent philanthropic overlords, that's a complete lie, and we should absolutely be calling them out on it every chance we get until it stops. youtu.be/jAzp6voksWo
Did not expect this particular complete 180 but I guess if I've learned anything about the insane far right, it's that they can literally make enemies of their most powerful allies in one heartbeat or less.
Politics & dating: a new trend is emerging from studies that are suggesting couples must be more aligned politically than ever. This is a big historical shift from earlier decades in the history of American romantic coupling. Would you date someone from a different political party at this point?
The truest thing I’ve read today….🤣
Only after infrastructure week. We need a bridge to get to the unreleased files.
What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠
Except, of course, for the Epstein files. Those are always two weeks from nowhere. And also on Pam Bondi's desk. And also fully released yet missing millions of documents. The Epstein files are a metaphysical anomaly.
In two weeks it'll be genocide week. And maybe infrastructure week. He's always two weeks from everything. He's a chronological anomaly.
Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
A three-hour long podcast. Why not keep disappointing myself all the way to the end.
Hey man, even your dad Darth Vader had that one moment of redemption.
The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed...
"How will you pay for it?"
The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts...
"How much do you need?"
It doesn't have to be this way.
I don't think people realize how entrenched the trumps are in the big prediction market gambling mayhem machines. youtu.be/qCTBWuY_ut4
So this is a gigantic upending of an entire body of scientific research. And I have some thoughts. youtu.be/Bm5IFRE9PxM
I still maintain that the whole insane punctuation thing should have been immediately disqualifying. I don't think it's pedantic to insist on officials who understand how communication works.

Something that's bothered me for a very long time now. I'm sure it's bothered you, too. youtu.be/eom0rH1eObQ
You haven't actually lived in New York City until you open a door and the roach that was balancing up there falls on your head.
the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes
Just a reminder how weird it is that no one cares about the ballooning national debt when a Republican is president, or that said debt happens to be majority caused by Republicans, also.
