There's a well-known cultural trope that far more people claim to have attended Woodstock in 1969 than the actual 400,000 who were there. As a symbol of the 1960s counterculture, Woodstock's legendary status has led to a kind of "memory inflation," where many exaggerate or fabricate their connection to the event. It's often joked that if everyone who said they went had actually gone, the festival would have stretched across the entire state of New York.

Just seeing how litigious Trump is even before his administration with ABC News, I think there will be so much DoJ litigation and indictments that people's heads will spin. It surely will feel and look and smell a lot like vengeance. But that's just because anti-Trump forces have moved heaven and earth to imprison Trump and it didn't work out but it did set a lot of new precedent that Trump will exploit against the people who set them. Fair game? It'll be entertaining, though, to be sure.

I don't mean to jinx this but when Saddam Hussein fell, Iraq fell into warlord chaos. When America left Afghanistan, things got worse for women and girls. Assad's leadership was the only thing maintaining a Western style rule of law. Now, women and girls will suffer under the violence and chaos of the chaos of the collapse of the country. Maybe freedom from Assad is worth that. Or maybe it's just Western regime change of a sovereign government. Either way, mazel tov!

I haven't sketched in a million years but I think I might take it up again because I really suck now. But this is really fun. I might get one of those iPad pens because this is all fingers... Super fun, though. I'm into it! This is what a sketch looks like without a model or reference photo when you have Aphantasia. Weeeee!

@DEERBLOOD
Hitler committed suicide in 1945. Read a book.

@DEERBLOOD what makes me so happy is that a) I am only 54 and that Irish does crack and b) you're going to be an old man yourself before a blink of an eye and that'll be so awesome for you. If it makes you feel better, everyone who lives a long life will spend their life WAY OLD for way longer than they'll ever be WAY YOUNG. 13-45 va 45-85. It's fun! Most people spend their entire life being mostly old with bad knees and bad eyes. Weee!

@WoodshopHandman @DEERBLOOD in 26 years, you'll be my age, cunt.

@lain
I'm sad that trans people still live in ghettos

@kaia
Also, totally hot!

@djsumdog
X is censoring my kind of person a lot less. So it feels nicer. POV.

@evoterra
X is getting better so thank everyone for leaving.

These folks are like, "I don't know what being a journalist means anymore, we've been warning against Trump for a year now, but they're just trusting us yet"—that's never been the role of journalism! That's the role of activist or publicist. Sigh.

I love this kind of crazy!

@dick
Yeah. That's way more entertaining. I mean on its own it's fun, but it's also fun to see science based people turn red.

Liberal woman buying lots of guns and not having any sex with men is a conservative's dream.

Hilarious...

@kgibson
I have not watched it the first time. Maybe today.

@KuteboiCoder
But there are also zero skirmishes. The Maoist cultural revolution started with guerilla warfare and skirmishes. So did the Spanish civil war. Etc etc etc... It is not a switch. There are skirmishes and little battles. Not violent turf wars (that's a nightly event in inner cities) but between real Malitias (not Feds) against cops or Feds etc...
@kgibson

@kgibson @KuteboiCoder if you read about the time between, there were all the skirmishes. Guerilla uprisings. Etc etc etc

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice doesn't have any of the charisma of the original Beetlejuice film.
