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.

  • You partisans have created a world where voting matters so little to most that, yes, they might as well not miss a day of work for all the good it does in their lives.

    Hopefully the people can elect a few more Zohrans and Platners and thumb you all in the eyes a bit.

  • You know what demoralizes me?

    That my 80 year-old parents are stuck in poverty no matter who we elect. They were poor under Obama. Poorer under Trump I, and then poorer still under Biden. They're 80 years old and driving for DoorDash, and no Democrat is going to lift a finger to stop it.

  • Oh, I do.

    I just don't trust the majority to do anything meaningful themselves. It's why recycling doesn't work and why Democrats and Republicans keep getting elected. Our only power now is local.

  • They could abuse quorum rules or incessantly call for a point of order if they cared. Anything to slow down this fascist machine.

    When Biden/Obama were in office they had the power to keep Congress in session indefinitely if they wanted.

    But they don't care.

  • Understandable. I had that same issue with Frankenstein: great story, real work to get through.

  • DOJ cases against protesters keep collapsing as officers’ lies are exposed in court

    Jump

  • As always, the cruelty is the point. As the article denotes, it really only takes a few days' incarceration to ruin someone's life, seeing as how most Americans are living hand-to-mouth or paycheck-to-paycheck, so it takes very little effort to achieve the cruelty that the DOJ and the fascists want.

  • I wish I could get people to care about health care and wages as much as they care about mean words. So many seemingly don't mind being robbed blind as long as our ruling parties using the correct terminology.

    I'll still enjoy the story.

  • And, as with the book, this whole saga did play out over 10+ years.

    Wild. I can honestly respect Pierre's dedication.

    This is one of those things where I have no idea how I lived this long without learning it, because I love the book, love the 2002 film, and watch it a few times every single year.

    ChatGPT-maker OpenAI considered alerting Canadian police about school shooting suspect months ago

  • Of course they decided to twiddle their thumbs, roll the dice, and just hope against hope there wouldn't be any bad PR.

    Motherfuckers.

    Jump

  • On a macro scale I do think the privacy ship has sailed. Seeing the leaked illegal footage in the Guthrie case confirmed that the big tech companies are spying on us, storing the footage permanently, and leaking it to the government covertly upon request. I don't think it's unfair to presume that both ruling parties know and love this, which means we're never turning back that clock.

    On the local level, though, change is still eminently possible. I actually drafted an email to my HOA this morning about getting these doorbell cams banned in my building.

    Jump

  • No curiosity here. I just assume I'm being monitored everywhere I go now, though I keep my phone in a faraday bag when I'm not using it, so that at least is something.

    All a person can do now is manage the problem incrementally. I love the idea of people sabotaging doorbell cams though.

  • Well, fortunately for us, everything they've tried so far has backfired, because they didn't account for the fact that unleashing the Gestapo would piss off both red and blue states. Even the push for gerrymandering backfired, not because of Democratic opposition, but because they got their asses kicked in the 2025 elections and can no longer adequately project which races will favor them.

    Jump

  • Judging by the responses we've seen to Donald on everything else, I am absolutely sure it's the last we hear on it. Dems love sending sternly-worded letters and then pretending they did their job.

    Judging by Gavin Newsom's popularity, all Democratic partisans seem to be concerned about is dank memes.
