Time to accept that we simply have a mad king. The guy slapping 25% tariffs on Canada's postage while calling for its annexation - and releasing scarce water into the Central Valley to fight already-contained fires in LA - isn't doing a bit or pursuing a secret, rational strategy

Last time I was at my parents, my stepmom said something about using "real butter." I said, "Yeah, Country Crock like we always had."
I was this many years old when I discovered I'd been eating margarine my entire life.

Oh, man, I grew up in the 70s and 80s when so much advertising money was thrown into the idea that margarine was just as good as butter, and then I stayed the night at my friend Rick's house and they had pancakes with real butter and I was SO ANGRY I had been lied to by the oelo-industrial complex
Do margarined noodles count? Thats what I had.

About a decade ago my dad gave me a duffel bag of Beta tapes from my childhood. Birthday parties, Christmases and other family events from the ‘80s, including priceless video of my grandmother before she lost her voice to throat cancer when I was 11. 🧵

During Trump I I said things were going to have to get a *lot* worse in this country before people wake up. I’d hoped I was wrong. Now I’m wondering how low the floor is, given the propaganda environment a depressingly large chunk of the populace is happy to baste in.

I just finished a re-watch of The Good Place. The whole system is forked, man.
I don't remember who said it but all i think of is, "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism."
