Waste of food either way. I don’t know of hardly anyone that ate the eggs after dyeing anyway.

Mocked? I’d rather he be jailed.

Truth and sanity to American History?

Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

Orwell, 1984

100% this. We have actual murderers in prison for life who have killed several people. They’re still here and will be until they die.

This is 100% a message that rich people’s lives are more important than any of our lives. And they’re willing to kill to prove it.

Damn. I was literally talking to my other half about him yesterday. I didn’t know his health was so poor, though I knew he had lots of problems. Really an actor I appreciated later. At first he was just another pretty boy face, but as it turns out, he could actually act too. Moreau, Ghost, Doors, and Tombstone are all great roles, but I kinda wish he’d done more comedy. It was awesome to see him not take himself too seriously, and he was good at it. I’m sad to see an actor like him lost so early, he really was in so many films I enjoyed.

Time to go rewatch Top Secret, Tombstone, and Top Gun.

Gotta get rid of the evidence.

Option A: have a real court that judges against you and points out all the crimes you commit.

Option B: A court that judges in your favor and makes up rules to support your actions after the fact.

Hmm, which court does a dictator want?

Trump admin: what’s the rush? He’s not going anywhere.

Great for trump. He can just declare whatever crisis to do even more stupid things and grab more absolute power.

Truth. Half the time I see some satire article from The Onion or similar productions and I have to double take to make sure it’s The Onion and not real. Satire used to be more obviously absurd and mocking. Now it’s too real.

The Constitution according to Republicans:

We The People…words words GET TO HAVE AS MANY GUNS AS WE WANT words words…The End.

I’m not a fan of vigilantism or mob justice save for the removal of objectively destructive and tyrannical leadership. Too many ways to get it wrong.

Ah, catch a predator style. Gotcha. Removed my comment because it was wrong. So far anyway.

He doesn’t lie about what he wants to do.

He lies about his accomplishments.

It’s been like this since his first term. He’s not lying about invading Greenland or punishing Canada into being the 51st state. He absolutely wants to. Assuming (hopefully) that both these endeavors never materialize, he will claim that these threats accomplished some other goal that was made up on the spot. Which will be a lie.

Nothing to be done at this point, all we have left is watching leopards eat faces. They wanted this damage. They wanted to hurt people they disagreed with. So yeah, we should feel schadenfreude or gloat when they shoot themselves in the foot because they were going to do this to others anyway. The math says that’s all we get. We shouldn’t be glad that they succeeded in accomplishing any aspects of their talibangelical manifesto of Project 2025 at all, but their willing support of an inept authoritarian and their whining that they get the same treatment should not be given a pass.

I have an acquaintance that works for an old money, very wealthy family from oil money. The kind that influences regional as well as national politics. He worked for them during the last major recession in the late ‘00s. He basically said that his employer and all their buddies were running all over the world buying everything they could “like it is a fire sale” during the recession.

So yeah. This is how we get more billionaires, more oligarchs, and more meta national corpo monopolies where one company controls multiple brand names.

Almost like someone actively causing instability with bad economic policy and stirring global political instability would cause it to go down.

The medical misinformation led to the measles outbreak. It’s not in parallel, it’s in series.

Gonna blow up the database as many times as they blow up SpaceX rockets.
