    "Yeah, yeah, yeah! The infinite yawning abyss of darkness which lies within the soul of every living being and seeks to extinguish all that is good so that it can finally be perfectly alone in the endless silent void. We've all seen it, or will eventually. I'm late for my brunch."

  • ‘Sometimes You Need a Dictator,’ Trump Says Following Threats to Cancel Election

    Jump

  • There's A Robert A. Heinlein book about how and why to be involved in politics called Take Back Your Government. At one point he talks about sharing his concerns that fascism was in fact more efficient than democracy with a person who had escaped Hitler's Germany. The friend asserts that fascism is less efficient, because under fascism, everyone is afraid of the boss, so no one wants to admit when anything isn't going according to plan, so problems pile up. Democracy, on the other hand, expects and encourages constant complaint, so the problems tend to get discovered and fixed sooner than under fascism.

    You can see this process taking place right now: everyone is afraid of displeasing boss Trump, and as a result you've got all these clearly fucked up decisions being made while nobody is being honest about how bad of an effect they are going to have. In a functional democracy, representatives would be afraid of the consequences and do something to stem the damage to avoid being tossed out in the next election. In our current reality... we'll see, I guess?

  • Honest question: Why is open carry forbidden, but concealed carry can be okay in certain contexts? The idea of being coy about whether or not one has a gun seems more alarming than somebody unquestionably having a gun that everyone can see. Not brandishing it, but rather just being honest and open with everyone about the idea that you're carrying a gun seems less upsetting to me than the unanswered question of who might possibly have a hidden gun on them if they had that special kind of feeling when they woke up this morning.

  • 75% of Americans oppose US attempting to take control of Greenland, CNN poll finds

    Jump

  • You could probably poll 10,000 random Americans and find about 25% that would be in favor of eating lightbulbs and severing diplomatic ties with the magical land of Oz. That bottom 25% of Americans has got some real issues.

  • I was trying to look up the punchline to an old SNL Weekend Update joke

    Jump

  • It's probably hopeless. If there's an archived transcript of every Weekend Update ever, then it might be possible to find, but even that is assuming that I'm remembering SNL correctly, and it wasn't A Conan O'Brien joke or something else like that.
