This is the number one reason I managed to grit my teeth and vote for Harris. I was reasonably sure she knew not to nuke people, if nothing else.

Yeah that's where I got stuck, too. That SHOULD be a nice, sensible choice but we live in hell.

It's ok to not feel ok.
It's ok if your antlers haven't grown in yet.
It's ok if you can't shape-shift into a raven.
It's ok if you haven't haunted the night for a while.
I know you're doing your best, and that's all any of us can do right now.

Right, I am not going to eat the pork but I still have all manner of prosperous veg to eat.

I thought it was a very unusual decision to make but for one person to do it themselves for personal reasons I wouldn't say anything.

But she's trying to influence people and that is just mean actually!

Chicken scratches in the dirt for its living- not very auspicious!

Gonna tell people to sweep and do their laundry next?!

Yesterday I stumbled across a youtube video by a food historian encouraging eating chicken with your new year's black eye'd peas/collards/cornbread good luck food and it seems I'm gonna die mad about it.

The real question in art isn't "is it good?" It's "What is it doing?"

And if all your art is doing is making you happy, that's not a small thing.

i am not generally a "go through the hoops to write a comment I don't think will really be read" kind of guy, but for a plan THIS bad, by a guy I hate THIS much... I'll make the exception

Ugh every time I click on a show on netflix tonight, it logs me out.

Way to really underscore that Tubi is preferable.

The funny thing about insincerity is it has no staying power.

An example from a very different decibel level is if you get an ironic band t shirt, you're gonna wake up one day a sincere Motley Crue fan.

The edgy asshole to nazi pipeline has a truckload of margarine greasing its downward slope anyway.

And I don't live in Maine so I can't do anything about this besides smack my forehead into my keyboard in frustration.

Everyone is still talking about this dork ass loser so i keep having thoughts too but the main one is

I DON'T ACTUALLY CARE IF HE'S A NAZI IN HIS INNERMOST HEART. HE'S EITHER A NAZI OR HE'S NOT NEARLY HOSTILE ENOUGH TO NAZIS/NAZI ICONOGRAPHY. IDC WHICH.

People don't ever want to think they were wrong.

P.S.: "Kari, why were you in a nazi bar?"

Cuz I'd lived in central Florida for 2 weeks at that point, didn't know the area, and my mom and stepdad took me. I'm sure they were unaware at first, but also quite sure that neither of them took it seriously enough when I was like "we need to go, NOW."

I know markets are fake but there's been no moment in my life where markets are more fake than that the US launched a global war that will destabilize the economy of every nation and the DOW only went down 2.6% because everyone thinks the mad king will fold before that happens.

somehow I never see enough people talking about the fact that he WORKED FOR BLACK WATER

that context + nazi tattoo = never allow that man to make a policy decision

and yet people somehow continue to gaslight themselves and others about being catfished

Yeah our far right guys play it a little cooler. A lot of plausible deniability and appropriated symbols that are a moving target. Because you're allowed to be racist but if someone full-on aligns with specifically nazism, it's a bridge too far.

Even actual nazis do not usually do this is my point.

HE MEANT THAT SHIT.

Only time in my life I found myself surrounded by nazi ink, it was still borderline. Runes and whatnot. And then someone showed up in blackface. That bar I accidentally went to that was full of actual nazis was a singular event in my life that stands out as rare AND nobody had an actual totenkopf.

Massage practitioner co-sign. I've had clients whose politics were bad enough I fired them over it, but even among that number, overt nazi ink did not appear.

Eagle over a Bible verse sort of thing at worst.

My tiny little Acorn kitten is finally growing up. I think she's never going to be BIG-big like my cats usually wind up somehow, but when I reached over to pet her, I noticed she suddenly has good, muscled, grownup cat shoulders.

Every time I dance with Miss Rona, my long covid gets worse. Until my third time round, I could work, kind of. Not these days. So yeah nobody sees my face.

They do solid work. That's a pretty pen.

Truly, those are so good I've been known to buy them empty and put other ink in them.

It's quieting down in any case. :)

Thank you. I've had some bad experiences with lightning. I suppose I'll always find it alarming, but even if I didn't, that was a lot. Much sirens, too. It got somebody.

Woke up to an absolutely terrifying thunderstorm. It's moving away now but some of that was much too close.
