When you read the last book at the library, the whole thing caves in on you.
i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
I dunno, living behind a brick wall in somebody's basement sounds kind of relaxing.
My dentist told me the pure of heart don’t need to floss
ASCENDANT FASCISM
America's Day-Before Pill
Not that being horny is nec procreative, but the odds of spitting out a kid who, through no fault of your own, becomes a neo-nazi because the culture has been retrofitted to make them that is probably the highest it's been in three generations. Like that can't HELP anything.
Anybody else remember being horny or are we just all past that now?
ok the wild thing is, to the extent Schumer had any strategy at all, it was "sit back and let trump screw up until everyone hates him," but no, democrats dead set on swooping in and rescuing him from the consequences of his actions
Jesus H. Fuck
now I am become stoned, the destroyer of pantries
The answer to this question isn't just one by which non-Americans will judge you - though they will and should - the answer is pretty important so that people know if you are an immediate material threat to them and the people around them.
Probably till the day I die I'll be chasing that high of waking up and not being afraid to find out what absolute horrors America's Best and Brightest have enacted to fuck up people's lives and murder them for no rational reason.
Why are people still buying duvets?
Haven’t you had enough disappointment in your life or do you need a daily reminder that you can’t even put a blanket on the right way?
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living
Southern Living just offered me an article with a recipe.
The "article" was about eating crackers with peanut butter.
The "recipe" was putting peanut butter between two crackers.
If anybody wants an example of how magazine writing has fallen, I'm pretty sure this is it.
We don’t have theme park attractions like at Disneyland but we do have an escalator that’ll scare the crap out of you
Find someone who gives you orgasms you think might kill you.
We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.
If the last 20 years have taught us nothing it is that there ARE well-meaning people who occupy the gauziest general political cohort with us who will say, in some way, "You're being pretty mean to the neo-nazis, aren't you?" And it is your job as a decent human being to say "No. No I am not."
I know we won't get there in my lifetime but ideally, at some point, the phrase "They seemed like such decent conservative citizens, I can't believe they preyed upon people and/or had the bones of small children buried in their basement" will spontaneously elicit the gutlaughs it fucking deserves.
Look, I'm not doctrinaire about anything. Just saying, in a reruddered functioning society, there WILL be Trump-adjacency mortgage rates & legal stipulations whereby you, as a fascist, should expect to be treated like a self-declaring child predator. Cuz, c'mon, odds are pretty good you're that too.
Remember, kids, Mel Gibson drunk-yelling epithets at a cop and blaming his forebears for everything that ever went wrong in history - or an antivax twat joining a fascist regime in spite of DEMONSTRABLY being in a fucking anti-science cult - is YOUR fault for judging fuckheads by their own shit.
Like we didn't disagree on how best to fund Social Security, you fluffy Schumerid dipshits. We disagreed with Actual Mel Gibson on who gets to be a person with rights under law and who doesn't and dies because of Actual Mel Gibson's garbage Opus Dei fascist dogma becoming jackboot canon.
The dozy bouzh artifice that ANY of this shit is just "political differences" we can have and still be amicable/civil/friends stops right at that line where masked paramilitaries gun people down in the streets with impunity amid disappearing people to concentration camps. Which they are doing.
The dozy bourgeois artifice that ANY of this shit is just "political differences" and that we can differ and still be amicable/civil/friends stops right at that line where masked paramilitaries gun people down in the streets with absolute impunity amid disappearing people to concentration camps.
There's a don't-ask/don't-tell thing re Hollywood fash, like no one will ever say true shit about Mel Gibson as long as there's some vague potential you'll work with him again, but I wonder if Catherine McCormack or Maria Bello just shudder and spit when they recall making out with a gross old nazi.
HOW DARE YOU DO THIS DIGITAL STASI SHIT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T AGREE WITH A REVERED ACTOR'S POLITICS WHO ARE YOU TO BE JUDGE AND JURY
Dude, the guy's public-facing politics are overtly pro-American-Reich and he's sad the Final Solution didn't work.
Maybe get mad at other shit.
A few months after I started my mastodon account with the lovely kids at beige.party, I posted something snarky about Mel Gibson being a nazi and how everybody could go to every streaming service and thumbs-down every movie he's ever been in and an ostensible "liberal" guy got mad at me for that.
"Hmm sounds a lot like a blacklist from the tolerant left, does it not."
Blacklists are fine as pertains to nazis. There. Hope that helps.
I know a LOT of the academy has bent the knee to Fascist America because major university administrators are run by corporate-sanctioned craven piss-streaked pricks but department heads, at every least, should start compiling a list of these people so that they never work again and die of exposure.
