got asked my thoughts on zohran mamdani, so naturally i wrote a little essay about zohran mamdani

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Baru Cormorant:

imagine a world where retail properties are owned by the city and leased out to businesses with a contractual obligation to hire more employees and lower prices. imagine if we abandoned the myth of the market and actually treated the economy like a tool a society uses to serve its populace

that is so cool. i love living in an efficient economic system that responds to market pressures

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.

this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

also hot take but there's an entire cottage industry of pseudo-militarized private security outfits with names like Iron Will and Forced Liberty renting out retired/off-duty cops to businesses to harass visibly poor customers that should be completely unambiguously illegal like holy shit dude what

"retail theft" is such a spectacular lie of post-pandemic reality-creation. it gave cover for companies to expand the surveillance state, raise their prices, and close stores in slightly less profitable areas, conveniently turning the actual solution (hire more employees) into a total non sequitur

i went through self checkout today and got a "scan error" on a cup of yogurt, at which point the screen showed me the overhead camera view looking down into all my bags and stuff. it didn't even ask me to rescan the thing, it literally just wanted me to know about a bonus extra camera in the sky

i love going into stores now because you are generally viewed as an impolite inconvenience at best and a presumed serial thief at worst, everything is security theater YOU ARE BEING WATCHED type shit, it's so unwelcoming and hostile and all just to make sure you don't shoplift like a jar of olives

it's awesome how much money grocery chains are willing to spend on Theft Deterring Infrastructure like chest high traffic gates and "AI"-augmented cameras and riot-geared rentacops, but they absolutely refuse to pay for more than one cashier to man their four dusty checkout lanes at any given time.

it's so convenient that all my enemies are ontologically evil. the only reply to anyone pushing terf shit now is simply "ok jeffrey epstein." no argument, no debate, no reasoned conversation. you got your ideas from a rich pedophile and you still think they're good. might as well put on a jester cap

glad to see the supreme court is still taking its marching orders from a gaggle of unrepentant pedophiles. definitely making the case for that institution's longevity

but think of the exposure!

How to win in November

here's one from before Bsky, March 2023

We all know this would be the best furry animated movie if it ever became a full length R rated theatrically released film. #NightRunner #DanAvidan #DannySexbang #KnightsOfTheLightTable

You can now find all my art and info on commissions at unusualdolls.neocities.org !!!

I just read "There is No Anti-Mimetics Division" while I was sick, and damn. I know it's not specifically about MAGA and this fasicistic cycle, but it's not NOT about that either. ...#AntimimeticsDivision

The first Furcon was in 1989 and before that there were furry parties at other conventions. Here is a furry party posters from the 80s:

a lot of the culture stuff is dated but his jokes about american politics (particularly "foreign policy") haven't aged a day

rip bill hicks you would have gone fucking crazy for tgirl pussy

the man had his share of stinkers but damn was he right about a lot of stuff, and most importantly of all he was FUNNY. do any of the riyadh comedy fest sellouts even know how to tell jokes anymore? talk about deep throating satan's cock

been listening to some old bill hicks specials and fuck me dude every single free speech anti-woke comedian working today can only be described as embarrassingly soy compared to mr "tie me to your headboard, let me wear you like a feed bag [10 wordless minutes of demonic sex noises]"

please there are so many other video games

i just can't imagine looking at the state of the games industry and the track record of literally every single video game like this one including the ones made by the very same company and thinking "maybe THIS time the story won't end in heartbreak"

i don't understand why people are giving Marathon the time of day. "it's surprisingly fun and compelling" yeah and it's gonna stay that way exactly long enough for you to develop a sunk cost and in 2 years you'll be like "sure the microtransactions suck but the item descriptions are SO well written"
