I called about a busted traffic light, and they asked if there was anything else I needed. I said there was a decent sized pot hole on my street. This morning I was walking to an appointment and noticed that the pothole has been filled!!! They were SO fast! Amazing!

In their defense, it’s really hard to understand what someone is saying when you intentionally misunderstand and ignore them. Which, ironically, is kinda why we’re still in this situation.

Racists are stupid. Hate Black people!? Then don’t recruit them for *checks notes* the job where you get shot at and die for oil company profits! HA! That’ll show ‘em! They won’t be so smug when they’re *checking again* watching all-white forces get shot to pieces on shit errands for the oligarchs!

Might not be hopeful, but I kinda think so: I think the world has probably always mostly consisted of the numbed apathetic, but we’re just exposed to them more because we’re all so connected. The world has always been floating on a sea of apathy. Everything is won by the activated and acting.

Y’ever think about how much true crime content is consumed in this country? Women 18-45 are probably the most knowledgeable about how to get away with murder anybody has ever been before. And they’re getting rid of the smart people at the FBI RIGHT NOW. Wild times indeed.

Why assume insecurity? Maybe *you* would, only out of insecurity, but others do it for the exact opposite, or simply because it’s their job. “Attention hungry” is an interesting way to describe marketing. They’re selling a service. I guess all those Super Bowl ads are attention hungry corporations?

You can almost always tell who’s in the position of privilege in an American political conversation because they’ll be constructing a hand-wringable hypothetical to then breathlessly argue a moral high-ground in that fantasy world, against someone who’s just actually reporting a lived experience.

The crazy thing is that this was the IMPROVEMENT! They used to feed cattle parts to cattle. Which is where mad cow came from, I believe?

The thing is, when the egg prices don’t go down, they’ll find a group of people that are not considered protectable or a priority to the majority, and they’ll harm those people and cheer, because FINALLY! The problem will be solved. Fascism runs on human sacrifice to protect itself.

I listened to those stories in the snow, with bad shoes, uphill both ways!

And they have tiny knives in their little hands! Sometimes when I’m using the kitchen knife to slice things I do a little hat-tip to the cat like “see, I’ve got a claw!” And she doesn’t respect me.

Yep. Part of why Trump is useful is that he’s a clown. He’s literally trained in clowning by the WWE to get in arguments and draw attention to himself. He’s the big wooden horse they’re all riding in. Crazy hair, painted face, stands funny, dressed in an oversized suit, waving his hands like a seal.
