Mood.

What you saw from Zelenskyy today is an example of why Ukraine is winning the war, in defending itself from an unprovoked invasion of sovereign territory. Alas, what you saw from those other two treasonous assholes is part of why the United States of America is now losing every last shred of honor.

This fucking traitor. His entire legacy is that he managed to delay his own criminal proceedings long enough to avoid dying in prison, despite being bought and paid for every step of the way to whatever hell awaits the tattered remnants of his shit-hole soul.

Me: “FB promotes fascist, conservative content far out of proportion to progressive, liberal content.” Them “Oh yeah? What’s your proof?” Me: *shrugs in general direction of my own feed and posts* Them: … Me *countershrugs in general direction of “suggested posts”*

Social Media: “When did you become so sweary?” Me: “When did a real estate developer-turned-probable KGB asset become a threat to democracy?” Social Media: “That’s not what I as—“ Me: “YES IT THE FUCK IS.”

Season 2 of ANDOR premieres April 22. The song they used as a background for the Season 2 trailer is “The Revolution Starts Now,” by Steve Earle. So… April 22, if this shitstorm is still swirling, y’all know what to do.

I condemn Russia’s war against Ukraine. Guess that means I’m opposed to national policy now.

An individual’s names and pronouns are never subject to debate or negotiation. You can’t “pray them away,” or get rid of them by some batshit-level Executive-Dysfunction “Order.”

If you’re gonna use Christianity to justify your treatment of LGBTQIA+ individuals, you’d better start from an understanding that Christ emphasizes love for everyone, as they are, and embrace that approach as your own. Otherwise you’re already in “begone, for I never knew you” territory.

As evidence, if any was needed, that Russians have a sense of snark: “Krasnov” means “beautiful.” (The entire KFB had to have been laughing out of unspecified orifices.)

Remember, kids: You can’t spell “smug,” “stupid,” or “corrupt” without “TRUMP.” (Note: If he gets his way, you won’t be able to spell them WITH those letters either.)

Delay DOGE. Deny P-2025. Depose DJT. ——— The fact that those three words have been previously conflated does not alter the fact that these are legitimate, separate sentiments about how to deal with each of the named entities.

Apparently the richest human on the planet won’t feel his life is complete, until he’s exhausted every possible-and-spendable opportunity to obtain my personal friendship and adoration! Sucks for him. (He can fuck right off to Mars, and keep on fuckin’, for all the love I’ll afford his sorry soul.)

Alas, Wordle still won’t accept “Oglaf” as a valid guess.

Maga internet: “We’s about ta get SkYLiNk on all our phoneses, because Musk!!!” Me: *this close to going back to a “dumb” phone, because it’s still smarter than those cretins*

America: “My team! My team!” Me: *picks a fight with a literal Muppet as a PSA that fascism is evil… and that if you’re on a team at all, yours better be against it*

The weirdest thing about realizing it’s STILL 2025 is acknowledging that you, personally, and regardless of your particular faith or lack thereof, have the power to damn individuals like Felonious Mus’ketamine and Kang the Kumquat to depths of Hell previously unplumbed by human souls…

If anyone gets offended when you call their vehicle a “Swasticar,” just respond with, “Oops! I meant your Tesla Pinto.” apple.news/AaAoknZ_0Ql6...

There are a few subjects upon which I am absolutely qualified to have an opinion. There are also many things in this world that I do not understand well enough to observe, much less comment on. Fascism is in the first category. If you support it, fuck you. The Super Bowl is in the second category.

The amount of Weasel-Stretching (probably paid) propaganda in my FB feed over the past few days is trying impressive. Not “staggering” (I will not stagger for anyone/thing I’d happily see yeeted out of the solar system), but impressive (because holy shit, are they wasting money on that propaganda!).

Kang the Kumquat has announced he’ll make himself chair of the Kennedy Center: apple.news/A6ksj_ZyFRBi...

It may be wise to do a thing, but not possible; likewise, it may be possible to do a thing, but not wise. Unfortunately, Democrats tend to logically argue themselves into one position, while Republicans gleefully pounce upon the other.

Dominant platforms will continue to dominate, if that’s where the numbers are. That said, we need more engagement (here!) on HCR’s newsletters.

Although I am still awake, my leg is asleep. It did nothing wrong; I merely sat, legs crossed, while I listened to multiple classical music CDs, of assorted vintage & quality. I am now walking to the other side of the room. My leg will not collapse. I will make it across. As will we, as a society.

Kinda curious about when Jesus Fucking Kennedy passed that brain worm on to Agent Orange. I really, truly, and wholeheartedly am NOT AT ALL curious about how, because eww. Fuck. No. Eww.

They’ve been telling us who they were for decades… but because they mumbled, we assumed they were saying the GOP was a party of “Law & Order,” instead of “Outlaws & Disorder.”

Maybe Musk’s ultimate plan is to get us all so disgusted with his bullshit that we collectively say, “Screw safety and regulations, get the fuck off our planet and go somewhere else.”
