We love you Bernie. Keep up the good fight.

Well... Average rain drop volume is 0.05 ml, times eight billion people comes out to 400,000 liters. Meanwhile, the ocean is about 1.3 billion cubic kilometres.

But yeah. Where's my pitchfork?

Yup.

Congrats man! I love seeing these kinds of things, even from internet strangers.

"In many a time, in many a land
With many a gun in many a hand
They came by the night, they came by the day
Came with their guns to take us away

With a knock on the door, knock on the door
Here they come to take one more
One more"
-from "Knock on the Door" by Phil Ochs

Abolish #ICE

I love living in a world that includes John Green. youtu.be/MxmqTLps334?...

"Now I've been cryin' lately
Thinkin' about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating?
Why can't we live in bliss?

'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train, take this country
Come take me home again"
-From "Peace Train" by Yusuf (formerly Cat Stevens)

This is why people hate the rich. "Pumpkin stylists."

"One useless man is called a disgrace, two are called a law firm, and three or more become a congress"
-John Adams in the musical 1776

"And here's to the laws of Mississippi
Congressmen will gather in a circus of delay
While the Constitution's drowning in an ocean of decay
Unwed mothers should be sterilized, I've even heard them say
Yes, corruption can be classic in the Mississippi way."
-Phil Ochs

"... So you wind up with this giant bureaucracy with a bunch of stuff that doesn't work right and a bunch of bug fixes."

#Evolution #TWiV

"You're familiar with university bureaucracy, if somebody is not doing their job, if you've got a process and there's somebody in the middle who's not doing their job, do you fire them? No. You hire someone else and go around them, okay, and that's exactly the way evolution works..." (1/2)

Yes, yes, your all loving "god" definitely stepped in in 1988 while my cohort of fellow pediatric oncology patients suffered a slow agonizing death while I managed to survive. I'd tell you to find another daddy to service but you've already found one in Trump.

New red flag: "Embarrasses others for fun." So, kinda deliberately cruel for amusement? No thank you.

"Come on and let me in, immigration man
Can I cross the line and pray?
Take your fingers from the tray
Let me in, irritation man
I won't toe your line today, I can't see it anyway"
(2/2)

End ICE.

From "Immigration Man" by Graham Nash

"Here I am with my immigration form
It's big enough to keep me warm
When a cold wind's coming
So go where you will
As long as you think you can
You better watch out, watch out for the man
Anywhere you're going"
(1/2)

And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
By the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand over your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead
(2/2)

From "Masters of War," by Bob Dylan

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
(1/2)

If you are planning on buying me a gift, please donate any money you'd have spent to one local charity and one national/international charity.

Resist corporate greed. Resist the madman in office. (2/2)

I've decided I will not be buying gifts this year, nor do I want any. I'll be donating ten percent of my take home pay (a tithe, if you will) in the month of December to Casa Maryland and Planned Parenthood. (1/2)

Who taught you civics/government in high school? Did you pass? Did you forget? What's wrong with you dude?

YouTube video by Graham Nash - Topic Chicago

"So your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come to Chicago just to sing?
In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair?
Won't you please come to Chicago for the help that we can bring?"
-Graham Nash

So, what you're saying is that that shit is wrong. The thing about "what aboutism" is it doesn't make your side any less wrong. See how works smooth brain?

Now, repeat after me. Nazi shit is wrong. If you can't, you might be a Nazi.

"The Analog system speaks to my Gemini spirit, allowing me to feel both professionally serious and surprisingly free."

You, you actually choose to publish this shite?

Go to Staples. Buy some index cards. FFS.

I think the issue being argued is definitional. I.e., sociopathy as clinically defined versus colloquially used. Clinically, not sociopaths. Colloquially, definitely sociopaths.

If you're going with mass delusion, it's being religious in general. Faith is literally belief due to conviction rather than proof, i.e., a delusion. Christians just seem to go the extra mile it seems.

I HATE the use of the term AI. It's not intelligent. It's like calling swasticars "self-driving" - they're not.

Why does my gender have to be so gross?
