Protesting is one way to drive awareness and makes people feel like they are doing something.

But if you want real change the protesters should spend their time convincing the 43% of elegable Americans or about 100 million people who did not vote in 2016 to vote for Congress and in 2020.

Many of these people are in key swing States and districts. It would have made a difference.

My brain needs a defrag. Where can I get a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster?

Tetsuo!!!!!!

"These reasonings do not cohere: I am richer than you, therefore I am better than you; I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better than you. On the contrary these rather cohere, I am richer than you, therefore my possessions are greater than yours: I am more eloquent than you, therefore my speech is superior to yours. But you are neither possession nor speech."

Today I am going to melt.

Oh sure, let's go to the town fourth festival on the hottest day of the year.

Nothing like standing in an open field in 97 degree temp, no clouds or shade, and 70% humidity to make a fun afternoon.

Obergefell will be overturned - no more federal same sex marriage. It will be left to the States.

Roe will remain (respecting stare decisis) but will be further gutted as it was under Casey. Something like no abortion after 1 week or a full moon, etc.

Owning a house is a never ending lesson on entropy.

Oh sure, a new construction will spare you a few years. Eventually the elements will conspire against you and try to destroy the house.

Welp, were fucked

Republicans were so eager to pass the #TaxScam that they didn't notice they were taxing the churches they depend on

Apologizing and begging for forgiveness gets really old after the fourth time a person is caught not asking permission.

Honest question, how does screaming at WH aides, harassing them, and kicking out of restaurants promote change?

I agree that many policies of this admin are terrible but I do not see how any of this will change the stance of the president or the administration.

IMO, other than making Dems feel better the practice (optics) could backfire outside the beltway when it comes time to convince potential voters to that the Dems have more to offer than just yelling. Do they?

Borrowed a friend's pickup truck to move a couch. I thought this is maybe I should get one. That was until I put more than $80 of gas in the tank to fill it up.

Remember the 90s in NYC with Kids, Necro, Non Phixion, and Arsonists?

Ah good times.

MTV reviving Daria and Aeon Flux. 😂

Im so happy! I have high hopes for Aeon Flux, they better not mess it up. I hope it will be as dystopian as the original.

The next time you get outraged about something some politician says or does stop and think that whatever that was is just a tiny insignificant spec in the moment of the world, galaxy, and universe.

If all humanity ended tomorrow the earth will still orbit the sun, the oceans will continue to shape continents, and the universe would not even care one bit.

//entropy
//misanthropy

If you wore a Fight Club button down shirt would that invite people to punch you in the face? This would be my concern.

Let it out

Second only to central air and peeing without problems, a daytime nap is the height of luxury.
