Neolibs and centrists clutching pearls whenever progressives “threaten their bag” by simply advocating for the lower class screams “rigged game”
The Odyssey but it’s about one man’s journey back from the storage unit on the opposite side of the complex, in a basement with no dehumidifier, with spiders that have grown monstrous. Same themes apply.
One thing is clear from Trump's speech: whoever was in charge during the 2020 election belongs nowhere near the presidency. That person sounds as corrupt as they come!
Most evil President is still Jackson, but Drumpf is certainly, without a doubt in my soul, the most corrupt.
Billionaires are accelerating climate anarchy with data centers because they believe cynically and lazily that nothing can be done to mitigate catastrophic societal damage so they might as well...

THEY DONT WANT US EDUCATED OR ENGAGED. THEY WANT US STUPID AND ADDICTED.
Government playbook: 1. manufactured crisis 2. crony backdoor deal 3. siphon tax money for elitist’s profit
Rawdogging an Internet installation. No phone. No TV. No reading. Just sitting here and losing my fucking mind after 4 hours, no end in sight.
Bureaucracy is death by a thousand pieces of red tape.
It’s been 16 hours since I ate eggs. And yet my mustache still stinks of eggs. The metaphor be not above me, whether you can consider an egg a chicken abortion, defending a life dedicated to simple pleasures. Call out in slumber your dearest love. Whisper oblivion.
