Cat on a Radiator

Research on psychological factors that correlate to political activation finds people high in openness to new experiences, high in conscientiousness, and low in agreeableness more likely to engage in boycotts and buycotts.
Being easily pissed is a virtue.

Yay, season 3!

We will never be a monarchy. Know that. To quote the LOTR trilogy: Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king.

Really good Talking Feds episode. Purely on foreign policy, not legal stuff.

Know Your Rights trainings work. Don’t even open the door. Really, to anyone. If it’s someone important and they know you, they have a cellphone, they’ll call.

Digital artwork of a death's-head hawk moth drawn in stylized realism with a golden outline, holding a large moon with many rays coming out of it that spread across the remainder of the image. The moth itself has brown and black intricately patterned upper wings with a bit of yellow and red, yellow lower wings with black stripes, a brown upper body and face with a soft skull shape on its back, and a lower body with dark stripes that is blue down the center and yellow on either side. The background fades to a darker blue around the image edges and is filled with many stylized stars, some stylized as six points with rays and others more like dots, four-points, or asterisk shaped. Below the open wings of the moth are three moon phases on each side.

I may be wrong about this? I think the egg companies buy from the chicken farmers. The farmers are the ones losing all the chickens. The egg companies buy from the desperate then sell the eggs.

I mean, I think they're also probably price-gouging, but I think they'd have tons of profit regardless.

Dear Manager, here's what I've done this week:

1. Found myself living in a shotgun shack
2. Found myself in another part of the world
3. Found myself behind the wheel of a large automobile
4. Found myself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife
5. Asked myself, “Well, how did I get here?”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Someday I'll own a dog who is not weird and neurotic about some normal household item. This dog is not that dog.

It's like being in the passenger seat of a car sliding on black ice toward a bridge abutment, while the driver snorts another bump of ketamine and the people in the back won't stop singing "Deutschland über alles."

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."
