    Interesting. I mean, I’m sure Bernie has faults but I don’t really see the point in attacking someone who created and is holding the only tent pole for, frankly, a reasonable middle of the road candidate (if we view him in comparison to the rest of the sane world).

    I get giving shit to Corey Booker. People are gray. I can list a handful of things that Corey has done lately that fit this meme.

    I honestly don’t even know what this meme is referring to maybe I’m out of the loop.
    But I agree with you, attacking Bernie isn’t the way. Reeks of agent provocateur.

    My guess is it’s a fresh wave of propaganda to wedge the progressives. What’s new.

    People don’t have to be perfect for us to join the cause and make it better. Don’t fall for it kids. We only get out of this if we ignore this bullshit and link arms.

    Ps: and look, I get it if Bernie isn’t left enough for some of you. That’s ok to feel that way and it’s probably true for a good lot of you. But attacking him ain’t gonna solve the massive fuckstorm we are collectively going to go through. We either quit bullshit like this or die from factionalization. Like every other movement has in the past 95 years.









  • There’s an entire serious sub called (r/trump666). They are more level headed than you’d expect and downvote and mod people too far out there. They have a lot of deep serious discussions on which of the four horsemen Trump and Musk are. They seem to mostly disagree on which person is which dragon/beast/horsemen. Although, I think there’s an agreement that RFK Jr. is Pestilence haha

    It’s all over my head but this concept is strong enough now that people devote significant time to reading the lay-lines.

    Coincidentally my old handle on Gawker was a photo of Trump and my name was “DiabloHimself.” But that was back when he wasn’t running for office and just tweetsulting Roseanne.




  • I’ve got a friend in Quebec that told me that they’d “wish Trump would hurry up already and make Canada the 51st state.” I also know a Canadian trucker that joined the line during that trucker protest over…whatever it was they thought they were protesting.

    I was in Düsseldorf recently and met a UK resident (fluent in German) who was nuts for Musk.

    It’s a problem that has spread to many other countries. In fact, I’d argue that right wing populism is all part of the same swing and it’s only the most cartoonishly evil in America.


  • Oh I was born with a min-max build. While I am keenly aware of my deficits, I am also aware of my specific sharp intelligence. Mostly because I have to use and hone my specific intelligence to mitigate my disabilities to get over life hurdles.

    It makes me feel good because, this means I have more of a chance in life than I believe I do. I should feel more grateful and more motivated. Which is maybe the only positive thing about such a terrible fact. That one in five people are illiterate.

    I don’t like feeling I am above anyone however. I tend to greatly dislike like feelings of superiority, raw competition, or feelings driven by pure ego.

    Ultimately, I was aiming for making an implied joke: haha wow i can absolutely read loool neat! Oh no, so many people can’t read….this is horrible…this is really really bad.
