lol nice, please continue bullying libertarians into buying your art, preferably some kind of portrait of Ayn Rand receiving her government assistance check.
this was me when i was living in la, phantom ant syndrome around the genitals and legs for months even after i moved.
Abamectin half-life in sunlight is 6-8 hours and under 12 hours in water exposed to light.
I put this on my anthills last summer and it worked like wizard shit. This summer I tried the same thing, and it killed off maybe half the ants. The remaining ants incorporated large chunks of this stuff into their newer, stronger, and more confidently built hills.
Valley life in Oregon
During summer: geographic bowl full of smoke
During winter: geographic bowl full of smog
There is no fall or spring any more
Yeah it's pretty fucking dystopian that I only have very distant early memories of well defined springs/autumns, and this is over in the UK where things aren't quite as extreme yet weather wise
Shit sucks, I'm almost glad Covid has normalized mask wearing. I'm far enough from the fires that I'm not in burning danger, but close enough that me and my mom need a mask to go outside cause there is so much smoke blowing over.
The MST3K twitch channel is streaming Girl With Gold Boots. Every character is incredibly ugly. Just a parade of ugly people.
Abolish borders tbqh
absolute psychopath shit that we allowed them for so long. "No no u see if you're born on the other side of the mountain/river/imaginary line, that means we are Different. If you're on the wrong side of the line, then i'm afraid we can only let some of you in otherwise you'll all filthy the place up with your Otherness. Also, this land i'm not using is mine because i have declared it to be so on some paper."
I watched American Dharma last night, which is Errol Morris' last interview documentary on Steve Bannon. I was so disappointed, I've liked Morris' earlier work.
I was surprised that about 50% of the time Bannon is dead accurate and very astute. Honestly he shares a lot of the basic understanding and rage of leftists at the ravaging of the middle class by neoliberalism. Like we say 1% and he says global elites, but we're talking about the same things. I think Morris is just a typical lib and hadn't really considered there might be anything wrong in North America, and just seemed totally unequipped to talk about the problems.
I could have forgiven Morris if he was able to competently pull the trigger on nailing him to the wall as a vile racist and fascist but he couldn't do that and let Bannon sweet talk his way through like he didn't run a news website with a special heading for "Black Crime".
The only interesting part is where Bannon gets visibly angry at Morris when Morris confesses that he voted for Hillary against Bernie in the primary. Bannon is a fan of Morris' work and was incredulous. He says "how can you have made The Fog of War and The Unknown Known and still have voted for Hillary?" And he's right, you know?
It's like instead of being an indictment of neofascism the film is an indictment of being a lib, I'm just not so sure the lib got the message.

What? nooooo
I'm very disappointed in Morris
is there an ideology more pure than documentary filmmaking? Literally Ken Burns bullshit
