As an outsider, it’s utterly astonishing how fucked up your country has become in only 9 short months.

America really has to do something about the epidemic of white on white crime…

hopefully I don’t need the satire tag in there.

When did I get so hairy?

Think back and ask yourself when was the last time that you found yourself out on the moors during a full moon?

Conservatism

That is unironically a really cool premise for a sci-fi noir mystery novel. A detective has to figure out how multiple people in different parts of the world are all killed in exactly the same moment.

Everyone knows Gagh is best served live.

Buzz it down with no-guard clippers twice a week. Sometimes shave it complely, but not often. Trim the beard when it gets itchy.

TIL Doctor Who fucks.

Canada:

A disappointment in some ways based on what we were promised during the campaign and especially in his dealings with the fascists to our south. Not an absolute catastrophe (despite what Maple MAGA cries on every social network), but definitely not focused on the little guy like they said they would be.

To be honest, I feel kind of tricked a little bit. We had a legitimately good third party that usually held the balance of power (NDP) and could use their votes to cooperate with the ruling Liberals to get some legitimately good things done. (You support 10 dollar a day daycare or we won’t use our votes to help you…that kind of thing). But during the last election, there was so much fear mongering about the Conservatives that we were essentially convinced that we needed to sacrifice the NDP in order to avoid splitting the vote. So now we have a party that can basically do whatever they want for the most part.

Even if it is the far far better of the two parties that has that power, the lack of a third party check and balance is bothersome.

but…still far far far preferable to Pierre Poppinfresh and his MAGA-lite cultists.

Every civilized country on earth has figured out that there needs to be acceptable limits to free speech and that freedom of speech does not equal freedom from the consequences of saying something.

It’s fucked up that he says it like it’s some sort of flex, and his cultists eat it up.

I know that there has been a demonization of higher learning for a very long time in Conservative america. But I’m floored by how pervasive it’s become that a vast majority have been completely gaslit by it.

Literally anything that Stan Winston had a hand in.

Any movie that relies on “The call is coming from inside the house” trope.

WTF is a landline?

Goddamned Democrats.

My mother had a single episode of BP decades ago when I was in highschool. Went away eventually and never had another. Looked pretty much like that.

Religion.

It served a purpose when societies were first moving from hunting and gathering to agriculture. A community needed to coalesce around something tangible for resource sharing, protection, decision making, etc…

It’s why, from a societal evolution perspective, we went from totemic religions based on fertility and family groups, to mass religions with defined hierachies and roles, because the evolution or religions reflect that evolutions of society at the time.

We don’t need that anymore. It does more harm than good in the modern world.

There will be plenty of lawyers ready to take this on pro bono. Easy case to make AND a name to be made.

When your food supply depends on the sun, you tend to pay attention to these kinds of things.
