I'm seeing a lot of discussion about Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, but almost nothing on how much of the movie is dedicated to a r*pe scene. Like its not even in the trigger warning lists I'm seeing. Am I just reading the film differently than everyone else?

Lake America????? Lake AMERICA?????????????? I don't know why I expected fascism to be like less silly. Its not really b/c there are concentration camps and military armed police and fuckin ICE. BUT LAKE AMERICA????????????

one of the nice things about being unemployed for the moment is that I have the bandwidth to do some of the small long term projects we kept putting off in the house.

Am told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that

The CEOs aren't smarter than you. They're not making rational, savvy decisions on behalf of shareholders, customers, and employees. They're entitled idiots with their heads up their own asses, endlessly siphoning the fruits of other people's ideas and labor. And they're usually criminals, tbh.
