Trump’s America

I haven’t looked in on mastodon is quite some time. Are they alright over there?

The current eldritch hellscape that is the Internet is further proof every single day that H.P. Lovecraft was absolutely right that having too much information is a straight-up mind-melting cognitohazard

“Is Elon even aware” Eric… my guy… I’ve got some bad news…

I'm not trying to make excuses for slow episode release... but man, societal-level existential dread is a real workflow-killer...

HE’S GOING THE DISTANCE HE GOING FOR SPEED SHE’S ALL ALONE (ALL ALONE) ALL ALONE IN HER TIME OF NEED

Conspiracy Theory: Zhao Gulao’s “donkey” was - in fact - a Trisolaran sleeper agent. Think about it… can dehydrate & rehydrate at will to survive, can journey incredible distances… In Sophon We Trust.

Weird that Matt Walsh decided to use 43 words, when 14 would've done.

If he stays true-to-form, he’ll wave this hideous Stephen Miller Proj 2025 bait around, forcing everyone to wail and gnash… meanwhile, he sneaks in a few more ways to pilfer the treasury while no one’s paying attention…

Whenever Stephen Miller appears I like to remember the time he obviously sprayed fake hair on his head and wore it on national TV.

[ELON, sobbing inconsolably into MOMMY MAYE's matronly bossom]: "I.... just... don't understand, Mum. Why do the little... people... they... why are they against me?? Why don't they want ..... me to... Live The Meme?!?!"

I think, in the end, the moment that really sold the whole Del Toro "Hellboy" film/franch. that the remake couldn't was the specific scene where HB's 1st facing Samael at the museum and he quips, "My aim's not so good... but they gave me *Really Big Bullets.*" <chef-kiss>

Remember when they were eating the dogs? Eating the cats? Eating the pets of the people who live there? Good times... Simpler times...

"China plays the long game" "Saving face" "history of western imperialism" plus the Free Space !!
