One day, decades from now, people will read about these men in the same way we read about Mussolini and Hitler. They'll be reading with bated breath about the atrocities they committed and we'll be asked by our grandchildren how was it possible to even happen. Hopefully they'll live in a world where none of this would be possible and they won't comprehend the evil and cruelty that we got to witness, they won't be able to understand how so many millions cheered for these monsters. Come to think of it, I don't understand why so many millions cheer for them today.

I love this. I love that they're FLAGS! Not pins, not secretive messages in code, not hand signals for the initiated. They are flags. One of the most obvious ways to communicate your opinions and stances.

The guy's not even hiding what a prick he is. Talk about funking hubris...

We should definitely also ask Liz Cheney and at least a half-dozen former Republican strategists. You'll find them on Fox News with Elon's dick in their mouths.

Funny, Meta trying to stop it made me buy it immediately on Libro.FM, where it will remain mine to download and keep.

There are 2 "Careless people" books, by the way, look for the subtitle "A Story Of Where I Used To Work"

All kidding aside, AppleTV os the goat. Very little slop (unlike netflix), varied content (unlike Amazon), no endless pointless sequels and spinoffs (unlike Disney+). I hate apple, but credit where it's due, AppleTV rules.

really... yeah, let's shed a tear for the poor republican women, waving "Mass Deportation Now" signs. They didn't seem to care about dehumanization so much then. Now they are the ones being dehumanized, hopefully they'll remember how that feels come mid-terms.

I see they are using the tactics of religion - get them young.

I do not understand why people still use Twitter...

Republicans understood something Democrats (and their voters) didn't. You can't just elect your president and that's it, problems solved. Biden could be an angel descended from heavens, but with hostile congress, ultra-conservative courts and no cover in local states' politics either, he can't do shit (again, he has a ton of flaws worth criticizing)

So what people need to realize is that the key isn't to vote, to choose anarchy or to throw their hands up in a final display of fatalism. The key is to vote more. Vote every chance you get. A school oversight election? I'm there. Local elections? At least know who the candidates are and show up. Presidential election? Don't wait until November to choose the lesser of two evils - engage with the primary system.

Now, obviously, this takes a lot of time that people don't have. It takes a lot of evergy on top of living your life, taking care of your family, working a job or several. Not to mention, if your state is late in the process, you might not even have that many candidates to choose from during your primary/caucus.

But this is why it's crucial for people who have that time, money and energy to do it. Do it for people who can't afford to take a day off to go to a school-board meeting or something.

Also, engage with your representatives. They are representing you. If you don't agree with the way they're voting, tell them. If they ignore you, keep the receipts and campaign for their opponent in the next primary.

And I fully realize this is a shit-ton of work. But the other side has installed fundamentalists closing down libraries and banning books, stripping women of their rights, even if you do 'the things outside of your state... they want to register pregnancies and clamp down on women who don't reproduce. They've elected people who will watch the world burn while their donors profit and the Supreme Court will make sure no harm comes to them.

Is this true for some democrats? Yes. Is this true for all Republicans? No. Both sides have the power to choose the best people. Make sure you do your part and inspire others to do the same.

In other news - "Water, wet!"

Well, at least autocorrect moved on from the "ducks"

I started watching them in season 2, where a common phrase the TV commentators were using was "outscoring our problems" and praising the depth. I wonder what happened, the Kraken seem so... joyless most of the time.

Kakko was definitely a great pickup. It seems like anytime there's a new guy on the team, they have a great start. Tatar had a good start last year too. Let's hope Kakko stays a bit longer.

I really hope they rally a little. Gru is already in the AHL, I don't think scapegoating the goalie will work the second time.

Yeah, that makes sense. I was hoping that playoff run 2 years ago was a good sign, but I guess not. Still, I feel like a core was building and Tanev was definitely part of it. Here's hoping the managers & coaches know what they're doing.

Look, I try. Most of the time. I'm trying to be empathetic and nice and inclusive. But sometimes I wonder while fully grown adults can't use Google. Why they would believe the most obvious lies ("they're eating the dogs" is a great example - an absurd lie that was debunked 100x by every outlet within days). Again these are fully grown adults who choose to be hateful, angry and wilfully ignorant. In fact they revel in that ignorance. Warnings are "alarmist", factchecks are "biased", opponents are "traitors". These are fully grown adults that would trade the price of eggs for suffering of thousands of "illegals" and they entrust this trade to Donald Trump, a man who in his life has never taken a shot into a toilet that wasn't made out of gold. Like yeah, sure, THAT guy is gonna care about the poor.

My point is, we're all adults, we all make our choices as best we can. But if you keep making the same terrible choices and yell at anyone who tries to tell you they are bad choices, well... You deserve what's coming to you, because you've unleashed that on all of us.
