So… I have been thinking a lot about this. As cool as bluesky is, it is still part of a toxic ecosystem of technological serfdom.

I will be logging off here for good. I invite you to do the same. It is time to kill the internet.

Irony being that all these anti-social(ist) tech barons are in fact doing the very things they all rail against. Wait. Maybe it is not irony. Nope. It is by design.

The solution is to kill the internet. Make them instantly bankrupt.

You do know that neo-liberals are not confined to a single party, right? Fucking Reagan was a neo-liberal. Nutshell: at its core, it is the belief that everything should be run as a market. It is the melding of government and capitalism.

Everyone I have talked to wants to completely ditch the democratic party. But then the issue becomes, who do we vote for because each election cycle is a clown car of deplorables full of weirdo tech bros

If the democratic party wants its credibility back, there needs to be our version of the Nuremberg trials. Trump, his cabinet, and everyone who collaborated needs to be put on trial. The worst offenders publicly executed. The least, being barred from public office.

Oh. And a billionaire tax.

I think he is trying to do everything he can to cement his power. The fact is, the democratic party lost all its credibility years ago when it adopted neoliberalism as its main value system.

They can’t get that credibility back. Using gerrymandering is damage control.

Well there is one way…

I am going to assume that gifs don’t count… otherwise I am killed by Singing in the Rain.

Idk. It de-bends.

Okay. But picture this: Burglar Alarm, but spoken with a heavy Scottish accent.

Definitely not a sailboat.

I hear this. Because I was bullied, I have a hard time speaking up. Like, there is a forever knot stuck in my throat. So getting out of my comfort zone to speak a language that I was not raised with is extra hard.

My condolences. Life is not the same after we lose such dear friends.

Two men sitting in a study, talking. “How have you been coping with everything?” “With sarcasm mostly...” “Has that been working?” “Yeah it's been super great”

This is true. In my head, I am already compromising because I know what the argument against children voting would be. Head off the whole maturity thing at the pass. But it’s a demographic that is denied voting rights at all anyways.

Idk. If a law impacts you, you should have a say in it.

I could not vote against Bush either time, and I am still rather salty about it.

So here is my thought on children voting. Through every high school, provide an in-depth civics class that covers not only government structure but also historical context. Then provide a voting license once they pass a test, like we have to do for a drivers license.

Which is really sad because had most of those people had any sort of media literacy they would know it was a dig at what most of those people hold dear. But what do I know, my favorite film is Brazil.

Also, if he dies in office, he will never face consequences.

In my head, I read it like Gein. Does my butt look good in multiple of one serial killer?

Ah. Okay. Poor thing. Hope she feels better soon. I know how heartbreaking it can be when they are not well.

I don’t know about cats. But when my poodle was nauseous from medication, the vet gave us a medicine that induces appetite and it really helped. Entice I think it was called.

What I am NOT okay with, is my tax money going to: health insurance companies, DHS, weapons for Israel, paying Trumps legal bills and ballroom, and general grift.

But by all means. Feed and house people.

Donald Trump as Carl Havoc

everywhere the centrist argument the left has to abandon its principles to fight fascism leaving the only choice between corporate bureaucrats and nazis has had the effect of empowering nazis. thats a failed formula every time.

So-called "Centrism" does not work.

Victory is the best argument

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Right?! It is like every bad trope but turn to 11. And the new guy? Has about as much presence as Chuck Schumer.
