“You know they intend to end all social security benefits, right?” is how one of my friends is approaching it. She got a reply from someone that was, “wait, even the ones we paid into for years?” She said “yep” and I feel like THAT is the message that will take the white male >55 vote away.

Some of y'all might not have been around for the Satanic Panic. It was Bad. Very fucking capital-B Bad. These doomsday cult fascists want to bring it back on steroids, wiping out ANYTHING not 100% within their doctrine. Super heroes? Only Jesus has superpowers, they're gone.

Why would I blame workers when David Zaslav sucks and is in fact the cause of it all?
I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

This is why my rates have gone up and will continue to. You want cheap shit lettering, there are plenty of people to get it from. You want quality, you stop going to them and come to me.

BLOGS. Now there's a word I haven't heard in a while. Anybody else have favorites? Is Book Riot good anymore, or has it also devolved into listicles and pop ups?
As a result of this social media shift, I’ve started following some book blogs again for the first time in almost a decade.

Congrats to that Rachel Bitcoin lady on Twitter for just letting us know what she really thought and going “this is all the migrants’ fault” for what turned out to be no reason

Also: Get off your arse and vote. My constituency was won for Labour by 15 votes. A high turnout from the French sorted this. You don't vote? Well, the fash do. If you're replying to this with why it's ideologically impure for a truly left wing person to vote, please just block yourself, I'm tired.

OH, a big result: Marine Le Pen's *sister* has LOST her bid to join Parliament. She led 40% to 26% in Round 1. Her left opponent won by 0.5%. (Macronist, who came in 3rd, initially said she wouldn't drop out but then changed her mind. Ended up blocking Le Pen.)

Getting owned that hard on the normie platforms is great news tbh
Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.
Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

'Cellulose nitrate was used to make dice from the late 1860s until the mid twentieth century, and remains stable for decades. Nitric acid is released in a process called outgassing. The dice cleave, crumble, and then implode.' Deception, Fate & Rotten Luck by Ricky Jay and Rosamond Purcell

Fear is natural and necessary – it helps keep us alive. But our situation is not one where the evolutionary instincts for fight, flight, or freeze are helpful responses. We need the courage to do what is necessary in spite of our fears. www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbe...
