  • Yes, there was a whole running narrative about bill the cat having his brain replaced with trumps back in the 80’s. my now completely crazy, maga dad, turned me on to bloom county as a kid so most of my politics likely took root with a large nosed penguin and his friends. Then when I hit high school, I found rage against the machine.

    But yeah, I never watched any of his reality shows, this is the turnip I knew, until he became the actual president. My brain has not recovered.

    all the “by the book” bullshit is there for cover. I felt the same way, like it needed to be done right, because the system would hold. it’s very, plainy obvious to me now, especially 6 months in and seeing them fight harder against a winning candidate in their own party, than they do the criminal authoritaran, that it’s all part of the same machine.

    We think it’s a political war, it’s really a class one.






  • Lol, this literally happened to me once.

    Long story short, a girl I knew but always figured was way out of my league expressed interest in me. We quickly started dating, I thought I was the luckiest guy in the world. A few weeks go by and she just ghosts me. Nothing for weeks, I was going nuts. Finally I get a message from her, she had checked herself into the psych ward, and wound up hooking up with one of the staff while she was there.

    Dodged a real one there…

    I was speaking in metaphor but in this climate I guess you can’t anymore… you have a point one side is clearly worse, I’m not trying to make a “both are the same” argument. My argument is that neither will save us.

    The dems have had a winning strategy for ages, they just fight harder against it, than they do their political opposition.

    I have come to the conclusion that the entire system is wholly corrupt, top to bottom. There are decent folks in there, but they are VASTLY outnumbered. Yes, one party is worse, but when given the choice between shot or stabbed in the back, I kinda want to pick neither.



  • I was at a concert last night and it struck me just how much I LOVE seeing how people who showed up to share an experience can be so different. My kids were pointing at strange looking people but it just made me smile more and more as explained why I loved their expression and courage to literally wear it in public.

    Diversity, new experiences, unexpected is how life should be. I am tattooed, mine are pretty ordinary but last night someone commented on one of mine on the way out of the show. She thought it was strange, so I explained it and we had such a lovely conversation. She had recently beat cancer and was about to get her first.

    I don’t know, it’s early and this resonated.
