1725: Why the fuck did I lose my left hand for the same wages I earned while being 10x more productive than last year? Who the fuck is benefiting here? 2025: Why am I losing my job to a machine that encourages kids to kill themselves and can't actually do my job? Who the fuck is benefiting here?

"I produce 10x more than I did last year but still make the same money. And the machine I now use eats human fingers. Who the fuck is benefiting here?" Not a difficult issue, not a weird position for a person to have.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Good thread here Fuck capitalism

Frog knocked at Toad’s door. “Toad, wake up,” he cried. “Come out and see how wonderful the winter is!” “I will not,” said Toad. “I am in my warm bed.”

Those aren’t crosses. Those aren’t American flags. Those aren’t ribbons commemorating a cause. Those are fucking guns on the lapels of our government. If it’s not the guns, then why the guns?

You wanna know how bad the gun fetishizing is in this nation? Everyone stopped talking about the mass shooting at a children’s birthday party Saturday night the very moment they found out it might’ve been gang related. Suddenly no one felt the need to talk about guns and let their racism excuse it

And how did our government treat the shooting of Charlie Kirk? With more reverence than they’d ever shown a single child victim of gun violence in this nation. And somehow they still didn’t dare mention doing anything about guns.

I named my fists Law and Order because I like to sing the “dun dun” title card sound when I punch.

Part of being an adult is realizing that you never have to use anything but your favorite spoon and favorite fork to eat out of your favorite bowl. The cops can't do shit about it.

I think I'll skip church today.

Probably just a typo- MMR is measles, mumps, and rubella. Covid vaccines can be either like mmr (bits of the virus or proteins from the virus) or they can be mRNA (messenger RNA) that tell our cells to make a protein that looks like part of the virus. Its the mRNA vaccines that seem anti-cancer.

I really wish there was a special place in COVID damage studies where it told you whether and to what degree the horrors discovered manifest in the vaccinated

Omg!?!? Hahahahaha. Wow. 💀

I've just poured superglue into a non-stick pan. Someone's going to be wrong.

Started working on a tiny version of my Gate Crushers series, starting with the flag bearer. Those epic scale minis are sooooo tiny, a real challenge to paint. Even had to use a magnifier to do my tiniest edge highlights and smallest glazes ever. Anyway, hope you like that start, more to come ^^

I imagined myself in a threesome. It was a Mirage à Trois.

every year I have to sign up to sing in my church, it's re-choired.
