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.)

  • “I Didn’t Vote to Lose My Job”: DOGE Destroys $1.2 Trillion Industry as Rural Workers Bear the Cost

    Jump

  • Oh, Terry, you sweet summer child.

    What did you expect would get cut when Donald told you he was going to take a saw to our government?

  • There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.

    Jump

  • Sure, you are.

  • Removed

    Truth in advertising

    Jump

  • Love it!

  • fell for it again award

    Jump

  • Problem is, though, that he wasn't wrong about that.

    Just deeply hypocritical.

  • Having a building named after you is an honour. Naming a building after yourself is cringe.

    Jump

  • You're not wrong, but if DOGE taught us one thing, they taught us that it actually is possible to delete specific terms from every document in a government database.

    I don't think the Dems will care enough to try it though.

  • ICE Agents Surge Into Minneapolis, Immediately Thwarted by Actual Ice

    Jump

  • Texas, where a dusting is tantamount to a blizzard in the northern states.

  • Having a building named after you is an honour. Naming a building after yourself is cringe.

    Jump

  • Yeah just like how all of those Civil War Generals were erased from history for betraying their country for the sake of preserving slavery.

    This is nowhere near an appropriate comparison to Akhenaten.

    Let’s be real. Americans are incapable of shame.

    The 2025 elections, where every Donald-won district from 2024 flipped, is empirical evidence to the contrary. It seems that people were on-board for a mass-deportation, but not for the targeting of legal immigrants and the military occupation of American cities.

    But sure. It's your world and your algorithm. Think what you want.

  • There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.

    Jump

  • Agreed.

  • Let's end Anti-Circumvention. We should own the things we buy!

    Jump

  • It also expects that people are content to actually fix things, or sew tears in clothing, or whatever, and that often requires a little research and initiative in a world where it's been made abundantly cheap and convenient to just replace almost everything.

    I don't think it's necessarily ignorance so much as a combination of laziness and incredible convenience.

    A few years ago I taught myself to fix my laptop screen via Youtube and saved myself a $400 repair, but most people would just chuck it and buy a new one.

  • ICE Agents Surge Into Minneapolis, Immediately Thwarted by Actual Ice

    Jump

  • Leave it to the Donald Administration not to recognize basic laws of physics and, maybe, the necessity to make logistical changes.

    Hopefully the next headline is about how an ICE vehicle slid off a cliff.

  • There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.

    Jump

  • simply protecting yourself from hostile third parties

    That is some seriously bootlicking, euphemistic nonsense right there.

  • There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.

    Jump

  • And that goes for all of these fucking leeches: The beloved pop star. The legendary athlete. The really nice lady who gave away ten billion. The soft-spoken revered investment guru who cosplays as middle class.

    Every damn one of them should be paying 100% in taxes over a billion dollars, but they never will. Their greed is a more important consideration than whether or not you can get health care.

  • Zohran Mamdani’s Qur’an Oath Was Perfectly Legal. Christian Nationalists Can’t Handle That.

    Jump

  • I wish my life were so easy that my biggest worry was some random politician, in a place I don't even live in, swearing their oath on a book I don't like.

    Goddamnit I hate this world and fucking social media, turning everyone into a mini politician.

    This shit has no material effect on your life, and you should be angry about the stuff that does. (like wages.)

  • Having a building named after you is an honour. Naming a building after yourself is cringe.

    Jump

  • That's okay.

    It is mostly possible to erase a person's legacy, at least in the physical sense. Egypt almost erased a whole-ass pharaoh from history. (Akhenaten)

  • “This is what I voted for?”: Trump supporter loses farm and income to tariffs, only to be mocked online

    Jump

  • On the topic of tariffs, voters were outright lied to, so I won't criticize people for believing it. I'd be surprised if most people graduating high school now even know what a tariff is, much less how they work.

    Bummer for us even more that the worst hasn't yet come on tariffs, and only because it takes so long for new trade agreements to take effect. In the next year or two Europe and China will have rerouted their trade around the US rather than through it.

  • Bonnie the only survivor of the 4 kittens with parvo is back home today.

    Jump

  • Yay Bonnie!

  • U.S. Approves $45M Hellfire Missile Sale to Denmark Despite Active Threats to Seize Greenland | Defense Express

    Jump

  • And it’s not like the US cares about losing a few grunts for millions of dollars.

    Exactly the point. Likely the people that take that fire are people who come from an exceedingly poor class and have no value in our ruling parties' eyes anyway. (Not saying I agree.)

  • What cheap-ish bulk items would you buy for yourself and your home before an economic depression?

    Jump

  • Hate to say it but I have a bunch in my pantry. I don't expect Donald to do anything about grocery prices nor the Democrats if they take Congress. Inflation will run rampant until the next economic crash.

  • What cheap-ish bulk items would you buy for yourself and your home before an economic depression?

    Jump

  • An emergency water supply. (Everyone should have one regardless.) I live in a major city and have enough in my pantry to last me a month if I absolutely need it, and longer if I had to ration.

    Firewood, perhaps? Since you're rural.

    Maybe an electric blanket, as it works on significantly less electricity than your thermostat and keeps you very warm and cozy.
