MAGA Traitors Need to "Go Back" and Leave America
If the GOP hates the Constitution, diversity, free and fair elections, voting rights, and the concept of separation of church and state, then maybe it hates America & should leave.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

Here's a project I wish had gone forward! A greeting card manufacturer asked me to create some greeting cards based on classic novels. I'm sorry they didn't click because I think they're hilarious.

They really do want to just take all our money and then kill us all, or maybe the other way around. It was under Bush that I first saw that the GOP had become a death cult, but I honestly did not think it would get this far. It's not enough for them to waste their lives, they have to waste ours too.

So anyway, Dr. Brainworm has decided to kill untold numbers of people. He's directed the CDC and ACIP to stop vaccinating babies against Hepatitis B.
They really do want to kill us all. They bring only death. No progress, no wonderful new inventions, no economic expansion.

I don't care if you think that AI can do some really nifty things. It's being rammed down our throats by obscenely wealthy men who are also, obviously, both dangerously right-wing and mentally unstable, and no rational society should be allowing that to happen. End of discussion.

Think much of the over-parenting we despise stems from the early on fear of the driver.
If parents weren't terrified of our streets kids would have so much more freedom and independence which might get them comfortable with their children's ability to navigate the world without them.

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

This explains something that has always mystified me about drivers who rail against bike lanes and transit. Why WOULDN'T you want people to have options not to drive? It would make your own driving better! But they don't just want good traffic, they want to reinforce the NORM of driving
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥
