21st century version of the Victorian garden hermit.

“CHOKING HAZARD” Correct, I just choked and nearly did a spit take upon seeing this.

I'm just really glad the bear had a good time. It's what anyone would want.

I mean, even if Qatar shot him with the heart attack gun, it’s not like anything would change. The US has pretty firmly established that the death of journalists is no obstacle to them, regardless of their views or reporting.

Really unsure if he was killed. I don’t know one way or the other. I just feel sick for his loved ones. Really appreciated his reporting, but that’s all so small now.

I’m having trouble handling Grant Wahl’s death. It just feels so incongruent. I just can’t fully understand it. He was still posting from his twitter at the end of stoppage time.

Me and my cousin.

Diversity of tactics!

Mesa is just retvrning to the based and tradpilled one-room schoolhouse. And also making it worse.

Place your bets here! Semi-viable presidential run in under 10 years or MSNBC talent? It’s gotta be one or the other, right?

You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?

:pete: : Look, where I’m from people don’t care too much about whether you’re left-brained or right-brained — they care about lacking the front of the brain.

Them’s the breaks.

Response? What response?

I thought we weren’t supposed to do AdVentuism? 🤔

In the inevitable reboot, it won't be "On and off, off and on all day, all night." You will simply be on the freeway. You don't get off or on -- you will just always have been there. There won't be an "on" or "off".

Yes! No. Well, yes. I have a very similar story to you. Poli sci undergrad -- enjoyed the studies/hated the ideology-- organized a touch. But I got out of nearly all electoral work shortly after graduation and got into another line of work that would require me to eventually go to grad school anyways.

So now I'm tearing myself into little pieces trying to find a way to fit my new field with something resembling my old one, and trying to avoid the incredible :LIB: -ness of BOTH of them. The main thing holding me back from really going to grad school (besides money, time, etc.), is like yours -- becoming another enabler of capitalism's continuation. After having worked with my coworkers (whose broad trajectories I'd likely have to follow) for a bit, I've seen the belief in a better world and the very concept of community agency ripped away from them. Once they were "idealistic" (in the vernacular sense), but now they "accept reality" (again in the vernacular). It's like seeing Freire's pedagogy in reverse.

I reassure myself that I will be different -- but will I really? Does it even matter that I go through all that they did and think myself apart from them? Or will I just be trapped in my aloofness, acting no differently than any other enabler of the status quo?

Truly ACAB. All cats, no exceptions, are beautiful.

I can feel my pupils dilating in this image and I don’t like it.

Also make all cities like smash stages: walkable, fun to be in, and the capability to be whacked off in any conceivable direction.

Woke bad? Simply: Go to bed! AAHH!
