@phaedral sort of, but with the "oo" more stunted, like more "look" versus "spook," and "poopie" more like "poopeh."

Everything sucks on a profound cosmic level but today I heard a guy with a Liverpool accent say "Slush Puppy" and, while it doesn't fix anything, it was pretty enjoyable.

IF YOU KNOW ANY LIVERPUDDLIANS, MAKE THEM SAY "SLUSH PUPPY." IT IS FUN.

Am I better off now than I was four years ago? Four years ago I lived in a country ruled by halfwit bigot who lied with every word out of his fucking mouth and fully expected every last human being to say whatever he said was brilliant and true and vowed revenge against any who didn't; who crammed some of the most destitute, utterly hopeless people on Earth into concentration camps and tore their kids away just to be as cruel as possible; who had just rammed through the third of three Supreme Court Justices who had each, in turn, perjured themselves in front of Congress by saying they would respect established precedent law that gave women agency over their own bodies, which all summarily reneged upon as they subordinated the Constitution of the United States to their weird medieval god; and who was even then plotting with a dead-ender staff populated with neo-Nazis to stage a coup d'etat to throw out the popular will of American citizens and establish himself as America's first dictator. So, y'know, yes, I'd fucking well say I am better off now than I was four years ago, and it's not remotely goddamn close.

And guys, to be clear, I'm not saying this for backpats, I'm saying it cuz, as few "apolitical" people as I know - and it is very very few - we all MAY know someone who just has shit going on and just isn't AS-online-radicalized-and-activated as we are and, y'know, it's not that they don't give a shit but things pile up and maybe this wasn't on their radar when they planned other shit. Don't have to hardsell - cuz I didn't - but maybe you can help with a little nudge.

But also, look at the responses to the OP to, if you don't, kind of GET how important just activating one or two or three people in your life is. Even if they think you're the SUPER-POLITICAL-WEIRDO. My brother-in-law is completely party unafiliated, but, just given the choice, he will vote straight-ticket D just because of how fucking AWFUL he knows the GOP has become. It won't be like that everywhere with everyone, I know, but, kids, he SWITCHED FLIGHTS to do this.

It's just such important true-grassroots shit. Reach out, if you're able. And my thanks to the MoveOn kids who texted to remind me.

OK so, you guys, and #Mastodon4Harris, I live in a battleground state that is so schizophrenic, who the fuck knows what's gonna happen next week, but I did my MoveOn.org chore and "contacted 3-5 friends" to make sure they have a voting plan and I convinced my relatively apolitical up-north brother-in-law to change his plans to fly back home on Monday so he can vote Tuesday. It's a dumb tiny thing but it feels like an actual fucking victory, so take whatever you wish from this story, but I hope one thing you will take is little things help.

Dropping Ice-nine in Florida to own the libs.

COP UNIONS RIGHT NOW: This is definitely an issue. We need to train AI to be racist.

There is something just gasp-inducingly glorious about these cloistered corner-office would-be-master-race assbags doing "I am a normal person doing normal-person things" and fucking it up literally EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. because they can't even bothered to read shit that's RIGHT THERE. In BIG NUMBERS. That NORMAL PEOPLE could, and do, read. Like even that, fucking THAT, was some alt-right weaselfuck staffer's job.

And yeah, I understand that some of this is the 1984 four-lights-versus-five-lights scenario and those of pure Reifenstahlian/Objectivist WILL have a right and obligation to SUBJECT the plebs to their own, better reality no matter how much the clearly working senses of those lessers perceive differently - it's just, if they were all that magnificent and worth bowing down to as we're supposed to, you'd think they come off less as hapless fucking goobers at just normal goddamn LIFE shit.

You know who is better qualified to run a government, ANY government, than wealthy pricks who have "people" to do shit for them? Literally ANY fucking person who has ever had to solve an actual material problem and maybe buy a goddamn donut in a goddamn DONUT STORE and who doesn't hang out in 8chan Great Replacement chats.

Am I qualified for a hotshot government job? Of fucking course I'm not. Am I more qualified for that same job than a rich serial-lying motherfucking neo-Nazi working with every breath out of his pallid fucking gob to get working people lynched for being "wrong people" in the hopes of making those lynchings federal policy? Yeah. I am. So are you.

Because, and there is little, if any, exception to this, not one Republican in America right now has a solution to any actual problem normal people are dealing with that isn't "give people with no idea what problems are the power to unaccountably and summarily murder and unperson people for being the wrong color or gender or worshipping the wrong god or loving the wrong person and convince yokels that is a solution to something." That's it, right? Like they don't have an actual platform anymore, it's just "Give rich people tax breaks and sanitize the polity of those the fuhrer deems infidels."

There is a genuine difference between "EVERY WOMAN MUST BE A TRADWIFE" and "You are free to be a tradwife if you want and not be that if you want to do other things that give your life meaning" and exactly zero Republicans understand that that difference is actual human freedom.

The Olympics should have an event where you need to charge your phone so you get up and go into the room where your phone-charger is and realize you didn't bring your phone so you go back into the other room and pick up your coffee and return to the room where the phone-charger is without your phone because I would kick everyone's ass at this.

After every dogsitting job I always get home and find a stray doggie poopbag in one of my pockets and it's now basically 150 different stray poop bags from 150 different rolls and brands of poopbags and I can't bring myself to toss them out because, hey, a dog might poop, so the net yield is now my junk drawer just looks like a circus clown barfed in it.

Not remotely suggesting she can't deal with this shit on her own, but I would LOVE to see Travis Kelce have a candid "conversation" with this piece of shit.

I am obviously pretty critical of capitalism, its corporate media subsidiaries and the system of servility it seeks to impose upon the world, but I would think, even in that gross corrupt world, "Billionaire Proposes to Rape World's Biggest Popstar for Not Embracing Fascism" might be a bigger story that maybe had some kind of consequences.

You fucking assholes. You dissembling obfuscating complete cunts.

On the off-chance you missed it, The richest man in the world, a dull-eyed cloistered neo-Nazi who believes in natalism and that he, as an elect denizen of the master race, has a duty to "breed" as much as possible, a man who purchased a social medium specifically to gatekeep public conversation, to support political candidates that specifically worked for a violent fascist overthrow of the United States, and to reinstate, validate and amplify the voices of fellow neo-Nazis previously banned from the medium for telling Jews randomly and routinely to "get in the oven," who aped, shared and blessed white supremacist "great replacement" theory that specifically prescribes ethnic cleansing as a means of sanitizing sacred "Western culture," and who fanned those voices, including that of a multicount-indicted slaver and sex trafficker and zealous advocate of the subjugation of women, to spark a wave of neo-Nazi riots across England wherein frothing white men tried to burn people in their sleep - that man publicly told Taylor Swift last night, via tweet, that he would deign to rape and impregnate her as some kind of dithering attempt to deter her from her endorsement of a non-fascist presidential candidate.

I share this because any fucking time these preening powerful reactionary "Alpha" white men tell you they are not weird-ass psychos, there is not an iota of evidence supporting their case.
