This is what conservatism is and it's gonna lead us right back to fucking feudalism. We toil for the aristocrats while they build their empires and cement their shitty place in history.
We don’t have healthcare or education or housing or food or anything really because our money is used to fund a military that will go in and steal oil and resources for corporations that we’re also subsidizing with our money.

Stupid application wants proof of birth.

Again - we should be rioting.
Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

All of the "but we need aristocrats or no one will have anything to aspire to!" of conservatism + offputting opinions about age of consent laws.
Libertarianism has to be the most vile of all hard-right ideologies, if it can even be called an ideology

@teamrazer.bsky.social I decided I'd rather suffer with a half-broken mouse planning on replacing it in 2 weeks than update to your latest version of Synapse.
My main criteria will be: doesn't require internet signon to use it's features, something Razer peripherals used to do.

Do you know how many arts programs have been axed by GOP-run state legislatures? How art and music are frequently the first thing on the chopping block so him and his asshole billionaire buddies can get tax breaks?
Launch yourself into the sun, Grennell.

Utah passed a stupid law banning people from using SNAP for soda.
It's interesting how the upper class who works so hard to pay so little in taxes is so concerned with how not-their tax dollars are spent. Almost like they believe they own everything and the rest of us are just renters.

Like, the good luck charms many baseball fans practice are absolutely a form of ritual magic from an anthropological standpoint, but imagine what American baseball would look like if Protestants didn't have hangups about ritual magic being Satanic and didn't need to maintain plausible deniability.

re: Stranger Things
I hated Adaptation the first time I saw it but liked it on repeat viewings.
Something that stuck with me is how Kaufman talks shit about exposition-via-voice-overs. The only way Stranger Things S5 could be worse is if the lazy exposition happened via voice-over.
