Back in the day, one of my pals worked for a supervisor who called in sick all the time with the most insane excuses. He left voicemails with my pal, who forwarded them to me, and I stitched the best bits together and added some high quality MS Paint artwork. Enjoy!

The same is true of the term “socialism.”
Whatever the fuck you think it means, it has too negative a connotation for American politics. If you have to explain what it’s NOT, you’re losing.
I suggest a new name, logo & slogan
We should be called:

This is like the dude who built the Titan submersible going “Nah my pickup is totally safe in the face of an EF-4 wedge tornado passing fifty yards in front of me.”
Except he didn’t steer with a Nintendo game controller.

The fact that a hotline for CEOs was proposed before a hotline for students and teachers says a lot about who is deemed to be important in this country.

Most galaxies look like glowing space hurricanes because we're too far away to see much detail. You definitely can't see their hundreds of billions of stars.
But Andromeda is right next door, cosmic-wise. Zoom all the way in on this pic and have your mind blown.

this was published in 2020 at the height of the pandemic and barely found an audience, but I think it's an allegory for 2024 and beyond and I'd be honored if you gave it a peek
