Is the full moon why everyone is horny posting all of a sudden?

I'm glad the left has proved that in the face of fascism they can raise a historic wave of voters for an odd-year series of local elections.

...Shame it never seems to happen in leap years.

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

Part of the problem is that Trump is comfortable playing "the villain", and will rationalize his evil acts as either:

1: "Necessary Evils only he is willing to do."
2: Revealing the "hypocrisy of the system."

Note that he is also an idiot and his actions are actually just bad.

This plot synopsis for the original running Man novel has sure aged well

So the New York mayor race is inevitably going to go to a runoff right?

Always thought it was sad that Ayn Rand—one of the most successful authors of children's fantasy books of all time—had little enough saved in the bank in her old age that she had to rely on public assistance until her death, but I'm glad it was there for her.

TIL The first woman to serve in the Senate was also the last slave owner to serve in the Senate.

Big difference: do the majority of characters have a relationship with each other before or do they meet as competitors?

Squid games or Hunger Games have a few prexisting "teammates", but they are basically intramural sports.

Lord of the flies kids knew each other.

There is a thing coincidentally called "IDF" on my current project, and it is always weird to say out loud.

Distopian Murder Classroom and Distopian Murder Gameshow are distinct subgenres that occasionally cross over, but IMO start from separate anxieties

Remember 2005 when Prince Harry wore a Nazi Halloween costume? He caught appropriate shit for it, but still crazy that 20 years ago Nazis were so dead that dressing as one for Halloween could be ironic.

The way that society has to deal with Trump. Supporters has illuminated for me any French novel that talks about bonapartists. The way a populist cult of personality fractures society. Of course Trump is much shorter than Napoleon.

Next administration will need to solve the security issues with turning the East wing into a homeless shelter.

The problem is so well documented that it is the supreme Court that is reviewing it as a violation of the second amendment as opposed to a legislative debate.

So you are actually missing the debate here:
in lieu of real gun control this country selectively prosecutes people of color for non-violent drug crimes which then makes ownership of guns illegal. This is a well-documented problem.

This is progress for real gun reform.

Where is my Nobel for comedy?

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

The biggest difference between the two is that Sleeping beauty fleshes out the prince character and establishes a relationship between the two with the king and queen, even remarking on how modern their relationship is.

I know the live action Snow White is already forgotten, but for the record Disney had already made a woke version of the original Snow White in 1959 and it was called Sleeping Beauty

say what you will about the reach of bluesky it remains the internet's top destination for querying information from people who are exactly 38

I hate how social media tracks our our biometric scrolling data in order to sell us soap or whatever instead of figuring out who needs to be fed de-radicalizing content.

TIL Vlad (the Impaler) was raised as a hostage of the ottoman Turks after they deposed his father, and he would end up fighting against his own brother who converted to Islam. That is a much cooler story that never makes it into vampire lore

These deployments are extremely expensive and extremely unpopular. They look like tyrannical assholes, and the lack of public disorder reinforces that image.

Occupying Forces are not able to spread themselves thin. They will symbolically occupy downtown, but resistance is everywhere.

The winning American strategy in the revolutionary war was to generally avoid direct battle with the Royal army, forcing the opposition to Chase them across friendly terrain at extreme logistical cost.

Lesson for the current invasion of American cities.

Hoping that after this administration we can strip any pension or benefits from the Gestapo hires without undermining any remaining faith and credit in the government.

Why do people act like they like you and also seem to have more free time than you? Because it is their job.

If any of your Friends have been quiet since the shutdown, it is because they are actually bots run by NSA agents who are currently furloughed.

I'm going to hold off making too many jokes about this because anything I say will convince the algorithm It is one of my interests
