this corrosion

Absolutely ignore it. It’s just another one of those posts that looks like a literal set up to “Good point! You should tell your elected representatives how you feel about this issue!”

Legitimately don’t know if you’re referring to Adam Schiff’s post or not.

Handin out bags of Munchkins to all the kids so they don’t burn themselves.

Pray tell, sir, to whom shall we address our unsilence, as prior pleas & missives have been met with nary a word of response nor an iota of action from your bitch ass & those of your bitch ass kind?

(This is why “first we take back Congress in the midterms” can kick rocks. These mfs won’t save us.)

It’s an interesting Venn diagram, bc I do know multiple White Man in a Pink Button Ups who would love in their souls to do this but they’re all lawyers & not even standing up falling down drunk would they ever.

tbh i'm stuck on "zup beaches." i swear that was a Dr Seuss book.

They certainly did abt the ppl they arrested for "assault". I think re: what they're talking about now - calling the military to come take care of them while they started their terror campaign - they truly considered having ppl stand around & yell at them for being fascist shitheads to be "assault".

You're a goddamned hero

If you make it 52, every state gets a week. And a playing card. Wait, how have we not done this already?

Hoping like hell they dig into the definition of "assault" in this context

Zohran Mamdani learned this lesson the hard way. He did nothing to appease cowardly transphobic/anti-immigrant centrists & as a result he may have, y’know, won the election or whatever but the most important thing is that now cowardly transphobic/anti-immigrant centrists don’t think he’s cool. Sad.

I have so many questions and I want answers to none of them.

Dude. Definitely read book 2: Artificial Condition (or listen, if you dig audiobooks; get the Kevin R. Free narration one.) Come for the angsty anti-corporate walking existential crisis, stay for the phenomenal sarcastic [redacted]

I ask partly bc they’re fucking awesome & way better than the show but also bc at one point a character broadcasts HUMANS NEED TO TAKE REST PERIODS during a time when a lot has to get done but it’s clear they do, in fact, need rest periods & that’s now what plays in my brain at those moments.

Have you read the Murderbot Diaries series?

What’s the opposite of a plot twist?

Why, then, in blue states and cities often presumed to be safer for trans kids, where parents might reasonably assume they would find some measure of protection from the Trump regime, are major hospitals refusing care? It is because, contrary to Trump's self-congratulatory claims, he has not ended gender-affirming care for young people; rather, hospital management, boards, and their legal advisers have ended it for him.

But that’s kind of the point of the article: pushback against whom exactly? These clinics closed because of *preemptive decisions made by hospital boards and lawyers*, not laws passed or legal cases won or lost. This was blue state compliance in advance, sacrificing thousands of trans+ youth.

Teach the kids.

“You can say ‘no’ at any time to anyone abt anything.

Look out for other ppl. Don't imperil others w/ yr decisions. Don't brag abt past actions. Remember: Jokes can be taken seriously.

Don't throw any direct action ideas around in public that you might want to try at some point.”

This is some DSM 5 level shit

I’m curious abt the terms of the $50k signing bonus. When is it paid out? At signing? After one year? Five? At signing would be absurd, there’s got to be a clause requiring payback if you leave before the Rapture & like fuck ppl have 50k cash lying around. One yr they may stick it out. Longer, nah.

I fucking cannot with these people

If you happen to have the DVD, do yourself a favor and watch the opening truck driving monologue sequence with the French dubbed audio on. We did that once accidentally when my parter sat on the remote control and it’s possible that being drunk contributed but it was one of the funniest things ever.

Telling people to vote for blue choices to protect trans rights in a thread that literally started with you saying to vote for blue choices even if they don’t support trans rights is stunningly peak Dem messaging. 10/10, could not have done it better.

“Unapologetically defending trans ppl’s right to exist” CAN be an entry-level qualification for Democratic candidates if a) people like you simply stop deciding in advance that it can’t be and b) they get messaging/PR advice around this from people who don’t suck at it

Who in the absolute living fuck are you to say shit like this in a thread telling the parents of trans+ kids THREE YEARS BEFORE THE GENERAL ELECTION that we need to be prepared to sacrifice our kids’ safety, health & lives?

UBI is also super-threatening to a society like ours that fully relies on the premise that not having enough money is a direct result of moral or intellectual failings, of bad personal choices.

It’s honestly too bad he’s not actually running for mayor of Chicago, because then when we inevitably chanted “Yankees suck” at him - as we do to everyone, from any city, in any situation whatsoever - it would be infinitely funnier.

YouTube video by Good Morning America The COVID-19 vaccine was delivered. Now, we dance l GMA Digital

Boston Medical Center, Dec 15, 2020. First Covid vaccines arrived. Not only was this the spontaneous response, but the video was played on the news all over the country and the near-universal response was yes. Yes, this is how we feel. Yes, let us finally feel joy that we’ve been given a path out.

This implies the existence of genAI sin

Right? All I needed were some faulty neurotransmitters and a couple of Cranes albums, and I didn’t go making it the whole country’s business
