Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru.)

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • US Embassy in Iraq's Baghdad hit in missiles attack, security sources say

  • To be fair, it wasn’t people “simply forgetting over generations.”

    The other contributing factors you mention are correct, but it's eminently fair to say people simply forgot. Until 9/11, most Americans had no real connection to anything even resembling war, and the vast majority have no empathy whatsoever for the US genocidal foreign policy.

    Hell, we still have whimsical snacks on grocery shelves called 'bomb pops' that are colored in red, white, and blue.

  • Professors Say AI Is Destroying Their Students' Ability to Think

    Jump

  • I've heard much of the same from my friends who teach middle and high schoolers: most alarmingly that they can put information up on the board, ask a question about it, and the students don't even connect that the answer is already in front of their eyes.

    And sadly, a very common question they get is: "If AI can do this for me, why do I need to learn it in the first place?"

    The worst part is that, in the short-term, the only recourse people have is suing social media and LLM companies, who are awash in cash and happy to settle, or throw their weight behind age verification, which in its various forms poses a security risk. Parents, clearly, are parking their kids in front of screens and unwilling to parent, so that's not something you can depend upon.

    I'm just glad I never procreated, but this problem is going to affect us all when these kids try to enter the work force and can't actually do anything.

  • Trump may face LA Olympics ban: report

    Jump

  • The hat thing is just a natural extension of no one in his orbit holding him accountable for decorum ever, which is most evident in his language. Sad to see, but yeah.

  • ‘Embarrassing’ – why Pete Hegseth could be the first US political casualty of Iran conflict

    Jump

  • Christ, I hope it happens. Someone's metaphorical head needs to roll for this embarrassing, murderous rampage.

  • It would be nice to see someone, somewhere finally hold him accountable for refusing to pay his bills.

  • ‘You are all worse than each other’: anti-regime Iranians turn on Trump

    Jump

  • You're not wrong.

    We have the Mad King in charge of all this, and to him, it makes perfect sense to carpet bomb tens of thousands of people in order to feel like a big boy.

  • ‘You are all worse than each other’: anti-regime Iranians turn on Trump

    Jump

  • Abso-fucking-lutely they will. Our people, by and large, are truly ignorant when it comes to the realities of war.

  • ‘You are all worse than each other’: anti-regime Iranians turn on Trump

    Jump

  • Man, I wish I could live in a world where I could have any hope for a positive outcome from US military intervention, but I've ready too many history books. The only positive thing here is that Iran is fighting back, because capitulating to Donald only makes things worse.

    I wish I knew how to make Americans more empathetic and anti-war.

  • US Embassy in Iraq's Baghdad hit in missiles attack, security sources say

    Jump

  • History has demonstrated over and over again that it is wholly possible to piss people off enough that they'll attack a fortress, even a $750,000,000 one. (But of course, none of the people leading the US Government right now have ever cracked open a history book.)

    I hate that the only chance the US has at becoming anti-war is having a war fail so spectacularly that the next generation doesn't want anything to do with foreign interventions, and then the generation after that always forgets how shitty it was to always be at war.

  • Trump says Putin may be aiding Iran, dismisses Zelenskyy's drone defense offer

    Jump

  • That is Don-roe Doctrine, baby.

    4D chess or some shit. I wonder if Donald even knows how to play actual chess, come to think of it.

  • ‘Everything is going up’: Americans struggle with affordability despite Trump’s claims

    Jump

  • This, more than any other issue, is why Donald is going to lose big in November. Because he's never done his own shopping, or opened his own medical bills, or had to take his own kids to day care, he has no concept whatsoever of what it means to live in America right now.

    Affordability is also the only reason why he was re-elected, and he's doing the Biden/Harris thing and trying to gaslight people into thinking things are better, which is not only going to backfire, but he will be so much more unpopular by election time that even the dirty tricks they want to pull won't be valid tactics by then. They've even stopped the gerrymandering push because Donald's own coalition has become so hostile to him that they can no longer rely on voters who pulled the lever for Republicans just a year and a half ago.

    Now, if only we could get thirty Kat Abughazalehs elected at the federal level so Dems might actually oppose something.

  • Warnings of Iran Invasion Grow as US to Send Up to 5,000 Marines, Sailors to Middle East

    Jump

  • If Iran had nukes none of this would be happening.

  • Trump may be unable to end the war he started with Iran, even if he wanted to

    Jump

  • And all he had to do was make life less soul-crushing economically, and people would have gladly lined up behind him to support anything he wants to do, no matter how awful.

    But they're not. They're poor and starving, so he's losing everyone, including his own coalition.

  • What we get upset about

    Jump

  • If the shit hits the fan, and oil prices move up, it’s too late to complain… especially if your own president started an unnecessary war.

    Wrong.

    Every American has a right to complain here. Not only has our president broken his campaign promises on war, he had a record of disentangling us from foreign wars in his first term. (Most notably Syria and Afghanistan.) So, unlike some of his other promises, this one carried weight.

    He did not run on warmongering. He ran on peace.
