Corporatism is not equal to capitalism. Buzz words and scapegoats redirect anger away from the true enemy.

How does any of what I said allude to any of that?

Why are baggage claims so hard to understand???
Don't stand right up against it. Everyone should stand ~5 feet back. This increases capacity and visibility.

You move forward only when you see your bag.

It's pretty danged simple honestly.

Sorry to break it to you, but this government has been trending authoritarian for decades. As long as people have been voting party lines, it's only been about power and authority.

Thank you for saying narcissists and not Capitalists.

It's a deviation far too often missed these days.

It is. Simple yet verbose descriptions of seemingly mundane tasks, the view of worlds from advanced minds, the reversion to antiquities and appreciation therein.

This book is impeccably stunning and I'm not even halfway done.

Thanks to @amalelmohtar.com & @maxgladstone.bsky.social for writing it.

Somehow tricked my brain into being excited about reading again, and that's how the latter half of my 2025 is going.

Currently reading through #thisishowyoulosethetimewar and, while only being 54 pages in, I've caught myself staring at a page for minutes in disbelief of how undeniably beautiful 1/?

The only downside, is how am I supposed to focus on the movie when I have this adorable ball of flanger (fluff/anger), literally 3 feet from me?

Ash and I are at a cat cafe tonight (Cats at Play Cafe in Asheville, NC) to watch Howl's Moving Castle.

I'm pretty sure this is how life is supposed to be lived.

Went and saw Sinners this morning. Incredible movie, incredible writing, just incredible all around.

I'm also stuck with the desire to now see a series of stories (be it movies or TV seasons) focusing on Native American vampire hunters. Somebody tell Ryan Coogler.

Everytime I've seen a trailer for the new Superman movie I'm just reminded of how hard I'm gonna cry when I see it.

That's how good it's gonna be. @jamesgunn.bsky.social is 100% going to kill it with this adaptation.

Does it infuriate anybody else that "Moms for Liberty" are far more authoritarian than their name belies?

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification.

I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

I would argue it's closer to under 30. A lot of millennials hit nostalgia hard and early after technology advanced so far and so quickly in the 90s/00s. That plus the hipster aesthetic led to a lot of people in that range pining for the objects of days past.
