i think #3 is your greatest limiter. i expect more people have at least some kind of spiritual / meaning-making impulse than don’t, by a large margin.

thank you!

it was already done at an NFL game. i think? it was already done in Congress, where (if memory serves), right-wingers didn’t feel a moment of silence went far enough and demanded a spoken prayer.

edit - to clarify, done specifically for the newly dead influencer, whose name i don’t care to type atm.

androids was 1968, blade runner 1982.

but yeah, this movie is foundational, and you don’t get gits and fallout without it. edit - a word

earplugs have been a game changer for me. i haven’t been shopping without them for the last six months.

my stepdad had a round tuit. you can buy them!

no fan of chatgpt/llm’s generally.

but i feel comfortable calling this a chatgpt win!

i have noticed a lot of mainstream headlines leave out “depose.” which is interesting.

seriously, this is depressing?

integrity on this matter isn’t going to ensure healthcare for myself or family, it’s not going to ensure reasonable student loan repayments, it’s not going to protect non-citizens i know or work with, it’s not going to keep marginalized people safe, it’s not going to protect education…

i genuinely don’t give a shit. i don’t identify so hard with Biden to feel this reflects on me or my politics or values in the slightest.

and you know what else? if Joe wants to protect his son from the man who is looking forward to being dictator, well, that’s fine with me. i suspect i would do the same in his position.

a lot of games do this?

i didn’t vote for this. we are not a monolith. and regardless of who did vote for it, i don’t take joy in anyone losing access to needed medical care!

and i will see it repeated endlessly online over the next several years, paired with a lot of “serves them right” style comments.

it doesn’t help women or anyone else.

this is not the way forward.

fucking gross.

edit - i work with dv victims/victims of abuse. tell me why your “lol comment” is any better than the shit women tell me every day they hear from their abusers?

which truth is that, that no one hates women like other women?

look at the current climate, i see a lot of woman-hating from all sides, including supposed allies on the left looking for a scapegoat. the oversimplified victim-blaming of dumping our president-elect at the feet of women (again) demonstrates very little understanding of gendered power dynamics and very little effort to build coalition.

to this i would add the threads blaming racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, and the poorly educated.

do you want less suffering in the world, or are you no better than the right in looking for someone to blame, and someone whose suffering you can enjoy because, “they asked for it, they voted for it, they deserve it?”

as i just said in another comment, it scares me to see this shit AGAIN.

this narrative is not making women any safer!

i really love seeing this narrative again. i watched it last time he was elected, now i’m watching it again. it’s the left’s own brand of mysogyny, and it’s not making women any safer.

there was a story here recently about a lot of scamming happening on truth social. so yeah.

i would absolutely try this.

i eat a LOT of kraut, probably five days a week. also enjoy sardines and mayo on toast with capers. followed by kraut, which pairs well with the salty capered dregs left in the sardine tin.

i sent it to my teenagers. i see what they’re up to.

he’s a parent.
