The Magenta Oblong is not a 🎃

Don’t you mean “not to do anything physically or emotionally impactful”?

/cackles madly and flees the approaching Owlbear hordes.

TBH : I rather enjoy “unalived” purely for its satirical values. Right up there with “high velocity lead poisoning”.

ALL. OF. THIS.
Has anyone else noticed that “prime day” seems to be happening more and more often?

It’s not an actual holiday, it’s JUST AN AD. Fuck Amazon. Do not use Amazon unless you have no other option. And FUCK prime day especially.

It was exactly the kind of take I was looking for. Something nuanced and thinky to start my day off correct. Thank you sir.

Agreed to both.
I was definitely being gentler than I needed to be on the .05%

What is more important: perception or intent?

Things in the USA that need a complete overhaul:

Insurance - kill it. Start over.
Banking - regulate the fuck out of it
Tax Code - eliminate all loopholes, raise taxes on the .05% by 40%
Minimum Wage - raise it
Corporate Power - shoot it in the head

Not to mention a burning fury at injustice and hypocrisy.
I always loved how Vetinari was the single most honest person in all of Discworld. His definition of “Politician” has stuck with me forever.

More Vetinari in politics pls, fewer Dibblers.

A GIANT PINK KITTY SNOOT

A GIANT BLACK PUPPER SNOOT!!

SNOOTS! GIANT MOIST SNOOTS!!
#cats #dogs #snoots

STEPHEN MILLER LOOKS LIKE A LIMP PENIS (IN COLD WATER)!!

Pass it on.

….of the table and laugh as it hits the floor and shatters. Because you’re a cat and that how we do.

Amen.

Now I can’t unsee it either goddamnit.

As revenge, I inflict upon you two words (and may god forgive me)…..

SILK GLAND

A little orange cat who has chased, caught, and killed a VICIOUS stuffed mousey. She now poses elegantly with her prey, rebelling in her victory. She is very proud of herself, and rightly so. She got SKILLS yo.

The huntress with her prey. She killed it real good.

JFC that moved fast. Whatcha need?

Make a blonde alt named Karen. :)

What is posters madness?

Etc etc… and then after that I went REALLY deep into goth/industrial subculture and life. Complete rejection of “conventional” norms.
Plus that whole at-the-time undiagnosed autistic thing.

So my entire American cultural backstory is just not normal. Not even a little bit.

And that’s OK by me.

I am missing pretty much the entirety of the seventies and early to mid eighties. We did not get a television until 85 or so, prior to that my parents were full on “reject the modern world” hippies, then die-hard evangelicals up until the late eighties.
So, no Dallas, no Atari, no Christmas Story

Mother Jones is solid reporting.
And way to go First Nations.

Right. On. More power to them.

Oh FFS. Please stop saying “illegal and unamerican” like it means anything anymore. It’s CLEARLY doesn’t to this administration.
Try “hideous and brutal”, or “unconstitutional and must be stopped by any means necessary” or “full of shit”….

I live that they CANNOT make a sequel since last season leads right into the movie.

Tight, complete, and incredibly well done storytelling with tons of internal mystery but no hanging ends.

“Emptymind” is because I often crave the stillness of nothing and seek the wisdom of the void. The clarity of emptiness is a rare thing, and worth pursuing.

explain your username:

I’m weird, love the color pink, and love eggs. Changed it to oblong to tidy up my language and give folks space. Plus I like clean geometries. Plus, it’s one of those usernames that is just odd enough.

Some “Elder Millenials” are starting to sound just like Early Stage GenX’ers. (Not you, rather the one you’re referring to…)

From this observation I can only conclude it happens to every generation eventually.

That’s oddly comforting, in a bleakly humorous kind of way.

Nope.
The only people following me are perverts, nerds, freaks, queers and crazies. Of various and sundry flavors.

Y’know, MY PEOPLE.
(Really, I’m only 3.5 out of the above 5, but they’re still all the best people…😁)

Not a huge fan of her music, but a MASSIVE fan of her tendency to use her power to punch upwards and sideways, never down. She’s def in the “good person” column.

“Hey there fellow Slungies. Where might an obviously young and hip Slungie score some of that Dank Mary Jane? You know, to get epically Slungered on! And then we can all go and disrespect the legitimate authorities! As youngie slungies do. Am I right”

Y’all need to hire* a white bouncer to keep ‘em out.

*- no, you don’t need to let the white bouncer in, just post em up at the door.

“Free to enjoy the majesty of the forest”.

Not after reading this thread I’m not. And I haven’t even heard either of those songs.

GODDAMIT.

“Don't get me wrong, I'm truly happy for tay tay, but I had to listen to WAP immediately after to get "Wood" out of my head.”

This has got to be one of THE most temporally specific sentences I have ever read. Legit impressed.
