The US government: (refusing to admit to its imperialism)

Also the US government: calling its cabinet members [insert noun here] czar'

Weirdest thing to me is seein the "out of touch" argument.

Dude. Most of the ppl in power are very, very rich, very very powerful and spend their time at dinner parties with very, very rich and very, very powerful ppl who get out of bed every day and go "Ah, yes. I am considerably richer today, and possibly more powerful" and that goes extra for when it's in a very very rich and very very powerful country.

I don't know how to tell you this, but that bit is about as baked in as it gets.

Boostin Tinu's family fundraiser again so they can reach their goal. Cheers.

I keep forgettin that Biden is technically still the US president. Tho I guess I didn't really think about Palpatine thru the first 3 Star Wars films, so eh.

That's the most insightful thing you're gonna hear out of me for the day btw. It's all downhill slope lined with bullshit from here.

The trick is to do the thing even if the result sucks then keep doin it until it sucks less and then one day you convince yourself it's a natural instinct instead of something you did lots and lots til you got better at it.

Don't encourage me. I'll only get worse.

Alright. The results are in.

It's a 3 way tie between apathy, apathy with poll and mild inquisitive surprise at how many options there are.

Thanx for your participation.

Boostin Tinu's family fundraiser so it can get closer to its target.
Cheers.

"a healthy two-party system"

Ahahahahahahahaha ooooohhhh fuck.

Groceries are fuckin expensive and that's some fuckin bullshit.

Vote for me.

Usin content warnings on the internet so I don't have to read my own nonsense at length if it gains traction.

Ach, just got word about @Tinu

She's been round a long time doin so much good. Wonderful person. Done a lot of good work here, and in other spaces, as many of you will already know. Had so much time for folks, even thru all that she was goin thru. Always spoke up. Was always kind.

Rest in peace to her.

The Guardian reactin to all them UN members gettin out of their seats and leavin while Netanyahu goes on his bullshitfest as "hostility at the UN"

Only the sort of person who'd value the plastic superficiality of 'politeness' over genuine humanitarianism would view that as hostility.

But then, Patrick Wintour ain't ever had to worry about going home to his entire block bein levelled.

Anyway, live your life in a way that don't lead to UN members actually getting up and doing something, even if it is just to walk out the door, I guess.

Saw a headline that said "Democrats frustrated with poll showing voters see Trump as more moderate" and there's a reason I gave up on analysis in US politics a long time ago.

We're just throwing words about at this stage, huh.

I mean, when they started up with the "[Recipient of a nepotistic luxury real estate dynasty who spends his time hobnobbing with other powerful people] is the anti establishment candidate" back in 2016, I was like "Yeah. Time to put up the chairs and wrap this one up, I reckon. Analysis shop officially closed. Satire's dead and gone too."

And then when he got elected, in the wake of US press all "We have to hear out the fascists" going to "Now we have to respect him cause he's the president now" and finally, much later "Oshit this is going real bad" I'm sittin there like umm what exactly were you expecting?

And I got a lot of shit for it when Trump got elected from liberal types. "How dare you not take the threat that he is seriously"

Baby, I was spendin most of that time wondering if we were all gonna get nuked or not. Fucker kept talkin about it and was diplomatic poison. Turns out mutual assured destruction is everybody's problem and most of us got no say in it.

And what would you like me to do? I don't exactly have a vast standing army to go fight the world's most expensive military in my jacket pocket here, do I? Nor does anybody else.

And all the arguments were the same.

This'll be the 9th US president I've lived thru now. There's like 2 Bushes in there. I mean, 2 of em. One was bad enough, and that was after a Reagan. Fuck me. The Reagan era. That shit was grim. And even then. Not the only grim era. But grim enough. Add Thatcher and Brezhnev in the mix and (shudders) how are we even still here?

And I never thought the Dems were worth a damn "Here comes smiley imperialism!"

Greeeeat.

But in fields of terrible candidates, tens of millions of assholes point to the worst one and go "There's my representative!"

And then the blame. Remember when Al Gore got ripped off by Bush II and all these ppl went "This must be the fault of 3rd parties"

Like, Dubya stole an election (not that I like Al Gore either, and definitely not his record banning wife - but as always, I hate the GOP candidate more), and all I heard was "this must be the fault of Ralph Nader"

Nader: "The fuck did I do? I'm just sittin here gettin virtually no votes, dude"

But Trump was the first one I remember since Reagan to make me go "Well, we might not actually survive this one if he kicks off WWIII"

Got messy enough tho, didn't it? Twitter pissfights with Kim, leading to carrier groups sent right up to DPRK's doorstep, nuclear escalation. Doing out loud the mafia protection racket routine with US 'allies' that let's face it, the others just did more quietly. Shicanning the INF treaty, nearly shitcanning NEWStart treaty (it's in the toilet now anyway)

Analysis? Might as well have central heating in hell for all that's worth.

Tellin the landlord they ain't weeds in the garden, they're very small fairy trees and I don't wanna piss off the Aos Sí.

Hilarious thing that came out of the PMRC crap in the 80s was a whole generation of us who just thought She Bop was about dancing and there's Tipper and her friends bellowing about jackin it thru a megaphone at us.

Like, ma'am, I'm just sittin here stickin legos up my nose here. Can you be a bit more appropriate in your behaviour?

Always weird to me that the sort of music politicians try like fuck to ban ends up being played decades later at their conventions.

Websites all "You are using incognito mode" and "you are using an adblocker" and that's very perceptive on you and in answer to your next questions, no and also fuck off.
