The thing I don't get is that if some draft-dodging, smug, suit-wearing, rich daddy bitch boy walked into a redneck bar they'd kick the shit of him, but for some reason, with Trump they are so eager so suck his dick like thirsty truck stop hookers.

I swear, the upstairs neighbor always knows exactly when I'm about to take a nap and starts thumping shit around.

I've found a very Gen-X way of dealing with the mind's chatter. "Whatever."

"There's a massive boulder about to crush your house!" "Don't talk to me about politics!"

My brain is a perfect storm of fuckery where the treatment for each condition often exacerbates at least one of the others. CPTSD, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and Meniere's Disease. I gotta raw dog all this shit on a daily basis just to exist.

"I hope you can see this, because I'm doing it as hard as I can."

I'm wondering if we should take those AI training jobs and train it to hate AI.

Nothing brings out the conspiracy freaks like an actual moon mission.

A good friend is an artist and he was in front of a group of young kids who were seriously asking if he actually painted straight from his own imagination. Like it was some amazing, superhuman feat to not use AI. If imagination is fading...in children...we are truly fucked.

There's one solution when an animal goes rabid and starts foaming at the mouth.

Can someone just do the necessary thing? Fuck's sake...

Dear game studios: if you use AI in your games, I might still play some of them, but I won't buy them.

You know the true character of politicians when you see those who ran or tried to run for President and didn't get the job and some of them are still visibly fighting this regime consistently and the rest just kind of make rare statements and are otherwise silent.

I know Biden's retired and all, but why is he so silent?

If Iran has Epstein files, wtf are they waiting for?

Telling someone who has lost everything that they're loved is about as useful as telling a quadriplegic that they have legs.

I don't know why, but video games are simply not holding my attention any more. I've been an avid gamer since Pong.

There are rumors spreading that Trump is at Walter Reed hospital. I wish him a speedy non-recovery.

The difference between Cambodia and Thailand is if you talk about Cambodia and then reference ping pong balls, there's no connection. If you're talking about Thailand and then reference ping pong balls, now you have an image in your head.

Those who have the means and resources: please organize and see what you can do to support people to make the general strike last for as long as possible. One day is a symbolic gesture. Let's actually make an impact!

GOP: "States rights!" States: "No ICE!" GOP: "Not like that!"

I'm feeling like a mashup of Falling Down and God Bless America.

"We need a general strike." "Cool! We'll do it on this day." "Um...one day? Really? Jesus fuck, can ya take this seriously, please?"

So Bondi is gone. She'll only be replaced by another shitbird who will do the same obfuscating and lying.

I get a lot of angsty replies when I say anything about the ineffectiveness of protests. So, I'll bite. Please explain how protests will remove a fascist regime. Telling me to look at history is irrelevant because we've never faced this before in the US. Walk me through the process.

Most of the tactics that were used in the past simply don't work in this situation. America has never dealt with its own gov't going full on fascist. Most of those tactics are now no more effective than saying "Stop it! That's wrong! STAHP!!"

Even though my ancestry is completely European, I would like to state for the record that I identify as Cambodian, so if birthright citizenship is no more, please deport me there.

Wow, not voting sure did help out the people in Gaza, huh?

So many videos of Crimson Desert saying "Stop doing this wrong! Stop wasting time!" Dude, I'm exploring and having fun. Fuck off.

If I did the kind of writing now that I did in my activist years, all it would be is yet another blog lost among millions of others and instead of inspiring people to action, it would just give people yet more shit to argue fecklessly about. That's what people want. We're fucked.

Are parents not teaching their offspring to look both ways before crossing in front of traffic anymore? I keep seeing folks walking directly in front of moving traffic as if their brute force sense of entitlement is a bulwark against the laws of physics.

Racism is basically people running in circles screaming, "Oh no! Melanin!"

Oh, I get it now! The reason people aren't rising up is tactical! Wait until everything gets so bad that other countries intervene to take down the regime and do the work for us. How clever! I am such a dummy.

Look, Kristi Noem's husband just wanted to be like her and cosplay in his own way.

America is well on its way to becoming yet another casualty of history.

When you really want no kings, you kinda gotta actually go after the king. Clever slogans won't depose him.

The Jan 6 folks had the right idea but the wrong targets. Imagine it with the numbers that showed up a couple days ago, but going after the GOP and the capitulating Dems that voted with them.

It's really disheartening to see on all platforms that the worse things are getting, the quicker so many people are to discard allies.

So, what do you suggest, TwystedKynd? Here's one of several ideas: Organizing to establish a network of resources and services to enable people to have a sustained nationwide general strike for as long as is needed.

Whenever we hear Woody Guthrie's "This Land" we tend to only hear the first/last verse. It's this one that I like most: There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me A sign was painted, said Private Property But on the back side it didn't say nothing This land was made for you and me

I miss Cambodia so fucking much. I never should have left.

Stay tuned for more harsh truths that nobody wants to hear.

If all these people had voted we wouldn't have needed these protests. Put the numbers where they have effect.

The reason Rajneesh was such a popular guru is because he didn't put people through their shit to process it. He gave them permission to do whatever they wanted.
