"If you don't submit to abuse, I'm gonna REALLY give you something to cry about, because I'm SUCH A GOOD FRIEND"

It is entirely consistent with the core view of capitalism that people are expendable while property and businesses are sacrosanct

FWIW in mainland China, there's like 3 minutes of pre-show content -- which starts *before* the announced time -- and the movie starts dead on the stated time

I predicted this during Trump I. 1: Make it harder to get HIV medication. 2: When people get sick, claim that "gays are dangerous" and start quarantining gay men

Dollars to donuts, I bet Putin's got dirt on Trump and Trump will do anything to keep us from finding out what that is

True... even in S1 I was thinking, what would a creepy messianic corporation do with this brain technology? Of course, there's no other option: use it to legitimize abuse

It says something that even Betty Bowers has dropped the schtick (and those years ago, it was a marvelous schtick) and is now just going directly to the heart of it. Fuck the prosperity gospel

This is *not* just a trans-rights issue. Give it a few years and I bet they'll check your social media to see if you're "loyal" or not

The thing I couldn't figure out is: if Canada could end tariffs by becoming the 51st state, like Trumpy Wumpy floated out there, wouldn't that make it *easier* for fentanyl to enter the other 50 states? No more customs checks...? Am I missing something?

She was robbed for Renaissance, *that* was a masterpiece

(It's a big deal in my field, but a far lower priority than the shredding of the Constitution that's going on)

*And* that so many people think Musk is a genius only because he's rich

I just got taken to the Dworkin report webpage and never saw a page to write a letter
