Anti-Electoralists vindicated once again about the futility of harm reduction via legitimation of bourgeois democracy with representatives whose material interests are diametrically opposed to your own interests.

Flood @schumer.senate.gov office and demand he whip his caucus to vote NO.
Don't bother commenting "why bother", "who cares", or any other demoralizing, obstructionist, fatalist sentiment about futility. I will hide it.
EVERYTHING we've accomplished was from DOING SOMETHING. Like calls.

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

Not that anyone will learn a single thing from this, but let it serve as yet another example of the futility of trying to appease right-wing extremists. No matter how much you try to meet them halfway, they will still paint you as insufficiently servile to their ideology.

This is the best explainer on what Lovecraft’s elder gods actually do to your mind—they don’t instantly drive you insane, they force you to comprehend the futility of human society.
He uses covid lockdown as an example. It’s brilliant.

I know that Flanders Fields is canon but nothing for me captures the futility, horror and rage of what we're remembering today like Wilfred Owen's Dulce et Decorum Est.

I guess you should be angry at all the people who voted Trump then, and all your elected officials doing fuck all to stop him. But punching left is all you people know, and that self-righteous futility perfectly encapsulates your party.

I lost 2 great grandfather's and 2 great uncles, all infantry, during 1915 & 1916 in WW1.
I obviously never knew them, but that ending always brings their sacrifice home to me.
Incredible piercing drama on the futility of war.

Those blocks in the foreground were cleared around 1970 for a highway that was never completed. After about 25 years of futility, the highway plans were abandoned and the area rebuilt.

On days like these I only read my "following" feed.
On very bad days, I turn to my ever changing custom list of people guaranteed to post no politics.
Lumi thinks doing so is good for my brain.
Discussing politics on social media is like trying to keep Lumi out of a box: an exercise in futility.

This is so true. A very sobering thought that shows the futility and uselessness of negative actions.

If you've never read Death of a Hero, it's a bona fide masterpiece. A furious assault on the hubris of London society and the futility of WWI that doesn't hold back from the first page. My late uncle - a career soldier - considered it the best book ever written about the reality of war.

I GUESS I can understand if the complaint about Charlie’s behavior is if she was acting foolish in a “contrived” way bc it was needed for the plot.
But on top of the stress and ego trip, I think we’re taking it for granted that we know the futility of arguing in good faith with dead-set liars.

Kapos were expected to maintain “fellowship police” roles among other Jews. They saw futility, and resisted their own destruction by shedding their skin; by beating their fellow Jews.

I was teaching in a comprehensive school in Warrington when this was broadcast by BBC. The following day all of us, students & staff, were talking about it. It was like losing close friends we had grown to love and laugh with. The futility & reality of WW1 warfare had never hit many of us so hard.
The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

Ways of Seeing transformed how I see art, everything else.
Maus made my understanding of genocide more than academic.
John Irving taught me the futility of regret.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed helps me teach for liberation
Ann Patchett is teaching me the craft of biographical nonfiction.

The Parable of the Sower redefined how I look at the world and my place in it.
To Be Taught if Fortunate changed how I look at all genre fiction.
Slaughterhouse 5 made me into a writer in high school.
Calvin and Hobbes, which I used to read in syndication, is still the text I return to the most.

tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

This is kind of the basis of cosmic horror. The realization that we’re so insignificant nothing we do could possibly matter, and that, after encountering evidence of this utter futility, you still have to go back to a society that pretends at us having significance.

Del Toro captures its tragedy, its balance between life and death, love and loss, creation and destruction, and above all, its heartbreaking futility. This isn’t just another adaptation. It’s a true work of art. I feel genuinely lucky to have witnessed it.
