I sometimes fancy myself a writer, other times a musician, occasionally even an artist. It depends on what the ADHD gremlin wants.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

It’s official: We just added a Democratic trifecta in Trump’s backyard! This win puts a big obstacle in front of Trump & his MAGA minions. Now it’s up to Governor-elect Spanberger and the new Democratic majority to keep building on that mandate and protect Virginians from their problematic neighbor.

I’m pumped about the margins in the VA governor race. My city, which is home to Liberty fucking University, went 60% for Spanberger. I really hope these people don’t immediately check out

Politicians are emotionally damaged individuals who think they are the best person in a whole city, state, or country to do things. There's something wrong with them.
They serve us and our needs, and feeding them adulation only encourages their worst defects. They need puppy training, not devotion.

Cops wearing riot gear all the time, everywhere is just SO WEIRD. It’s the equivalent of walking around in a wet suit or, like, wearing a football helmet in the supermarket. Outside of an extremely specific context, it’s just a ridiculous outfit.

The way I look at it, there are three outcomes to debating a fascist:
1. You win. The fascist learns from his loss and does better next time.
2. It's a draw. The fascist claims victory, and his supporters believe in him more.
3. You lose. People are persuaded to become fascists.
