Because horror movie villains are modeled on these creeps.

Except…dads, apparently.

Very generous to assume they’d make those folks promise not to do it again!

The confederates are so funny. The rest of us are out here being normal, and they’re like “remember that time we came in second place in a war?”

They’ve learned from Silicon Valley/venture capital/AI/crypto bros that you don’t actually have to read much to be “smart” in that world. What the rest of us know is that you need to read to build empathy, to see the world from other perspectives.

Probably a more convenient place for her to “commit suicide.”

Dems: "We have to destroy him."

Local free speech guy comes out against free speech.

As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a feature not a bug.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling.

Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.
