We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Drowning Pool doing yet another expanded release of Sinner really drives home the fact that band had 1 hit and their momentum died with Dave Williams. They already released the Unlucky 13th edition with all the demos, now they're talking about more stuff found "in the vault"? Let it go, guys.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Honestly, if someone wants to chug toxic bleach, let them. That's the sort of passive eugenics I really don't take issue with. And spare me a "think of the children" because those kids are already fucked and are almost certainly already in need of CPS.

It's right up there with "don't let X distract you from Y (which I am also doing nothing about)".

EV tax credits, carbon credits (essentially laundering the rest of the car industry's polluting), and investor speculation that Musk's wishcasting would come true: that's all Tesla has going for it. Absolute joke of a company.
