![[scene is SATURDAY KITCHEN, with the normal set of Saturday Kitchen, except it’s in a cave, and the guest chef is a kind of semi-human creature called MORLOCK, and the host is H G Wells]
1
H G WELLS:
Hello I’m HG Wells and welcome to Saturday Kitchen.
So with me today is Morlock!
MORLOCK
Helloo
H G WELLS:
Now tell me a bit about yourself, Morlock
MORLOCK:
Well I’m an future sub-branch of humanity that lives underground in the year 802,701.
HG WELLS:
Wonderful!
[Close up on what Morlock is cooking - a pale, veal-like steak in the frying pan]
MORLOCK:
And today I'm cooking Eloi, which is the my rival species of human, from above the ground.
[Wells makes a frozen face of realisation]
MORLOCK
Eloi are beautifully soft and easy to hunt
Because they’ve gone weak with over-reliance on technology!
HG WELLS:
Oh god. Did - did you -
MORLOCK:
It’s super local meat too - I bagged this one last night, just outside my lair.
[Cut to a scene above ground at night - Morlock emerges from his hole in the ground]
[He approaches an Eloi - a pale, weak-looking human - sat at a desk with a computer on it]
ELOI [talking to his computer]:
Hey Chat -
Write me an email to Jess in accounts about -

[Morlock grabs the Eloi]

[Cut back to HG Wells and Morlock at the Saturday Kitchen tasting table, tucking into the Eloi meat]
HG WELLS:
It’s kind of like veal!

Why in the ever-loving fuck are @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov doing voting for any thing that gives Trump more leeway to crash the economy? Just fucking infuriating. 🤬

Insane that democrats keep trying to cave on this issue rather than amplifying the fact that it’s being spearheaded by bigots and freaks
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · last wk.An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
This is exactly what Klobuchar didn't post about immigrant owned businesses during Metro Surge.
Amy Klobuchar@amyklobuchar.com · 2w agoNorthern Minnesota’s small businesses are facing an incredibly difficult season. The Boundary Waters are one of Minnesota’s greatest treasures — and the outfitters, restaurants, hotels, and shops that depend on them need real support.
A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work with the same urgency and ruthlessness to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 3w agoTikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny. He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers. (Published 2022)
I'm so effing tired of the lampreys who have attached to the Democratic machine. I know they're separate operations, but it sure seems like official Democrats are doing nothing to get rid of the scam industry around them.
![Screen shot of a bullshit PAC asking me if I would "watch Stephen Colbert if he had a new show".
I responded "Fuck you" which has now been.programmed as equal to "STOP", which says a lot about all this.

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · 3w agoHonestly, half of those texts ARE scams. They're scam PACs that use scam tactics to get people to react, and you have no idea how that PAC is going to spend its money, who it's paying, etc etc.
