It’s not a contest. Look at the contouring, elegant. Look at the polish, shining as bright as Versailles. The tong length has the perfection of a Swiss watch.
Then the functionality- the flared handle provides the user with the comfort usually reserved for oil barons in hospice. The longer tongs serve as an homage to the engineers who brought humanity to the moon.
Every other fork is merely a blight on the earth in comparison to this Adonis of cutlerian perfection.
I mean I’ve been told this is the year to fudge on your taxes since the IRS is fucked so I mean maybe there’s some silver lining. Frankly Elon isn’t as bad as- hold on someone’s knocking on my door, I’ll be back in a bit.
Welcome to American politics, when the 2028 election begins in 2024 and the 2028 primary began in 2020.
I’m so tired.
Sadly I think he’s going to be a martyr like Alexi Navalny. The 1% is patient, and they know they can distract us and grind us down. We can raise hell for a moment, but they know our weakness is our stomaches.
My hope is that more “quiet Democrats” get primary’d. Usually they would say “don’t primary me, you’ll risk losing us to the Republican candidate in the general and we have a moderate agenda that’s the lesser evil”.
Right now they don’t have an agenda at all, no rudder, no direction. This is the time to primary tf out of the old Dems.
I’m going too! Making some puppets to hold signs with in support of PBS funding and unions. I recently learned how to work with felt and want to use my new skill for good.
I’m thinking signs could be:
“Have you learned NOTHING from sesame Street?”
“This is not very Mr. Rogers of you Donald”
“That’s not how we treat our neighbors” with a cutout of Mr. Rogers
“Even puppets can recognize that clown”
any additional ideas welcome!
Also didn’t the Supreme Court just rule that you can’t charge the president for crimes made in their official capacity? He can just say it was in his official capacity to ignore the orders so tough titties.
Ai is getting so much better, but I can still tell this is AI but now I’m not sure why. Something’s off and I can’t quite put my finger on it.
It wasn’t until the invention of the skateboard and baseball cap that pizza delivery could even become a thing at all
Idk I’ve always noticed he doesn’t give AF about reality. He just lies and if called out he just doubles down on his lies until he breaks the electorate and he gets elected again.
I used the same strategy to hide that I was smoking weed to my parents.
You mean Russian Oligarch and President of The United States Donald Trump works with Putin? I never./s
Yea, gotta be careful not to Say anything illegal
I mean if you take the internet as a monolith, you’ll find contradictions every where. Some people will hate A because of B, some people will hate A because of C, but either way A is getting hate for both B and C.
So either there are millions of people online with different opinions but the crowd looks the same, or there is one very, very busy troll who is running all the accounts.
~help I’m so tired they won’t give me a break to pee~
Before this year, I was absolutely anti-gun. I’m a teacher, and it chills me that every time I enter a classroom I think “how the hell am I going to get these kids out of here if shit goes down”. That’s how I start my Monday’s.
Owning a gun at home is statistically more dangerous to you or someone you love than to an intruder.
Most school shooters are taken down by unarmed teachers who work together.
But we aren’t facing intruders or school shooters. We are facing the proud boys, Jan6ers, and now the federal government. I normally don’t believe in violence and weapons either, but the context has changed and now we cannot rely on promises of public officials to keep us safe. We cannot rely on the police to keep us safe (as if we could before). We cannot rely on any market force to keep us safe.
Only we can keep us safe. This shit is getting real, and for those of us who are most likely staring down the barrel of a fascists gun, we can’t just let that happen.
I hate that this is the reality.
I should never have to consider these things.
But in America, every conservative and their mom is carrying, and we in the cities have been complacent. Obviously you are not from America. You don’t understand the sheer amount of guns here. Sadly it’s creating a feedback loop and to sit unarmed is to be a sitting duck in a civil war/ genocide situation.
The time for the idealism of pacifism is done. If you are neutral you are on the side of the oppressor.
We’re not going to take this lying down
The votes were not rigged, more reason for us to be ready.
Well that wasn’t very Mr. Rogers of you, please be kind here.
Ah, still this wouldn’t really apply because the workers/ people don’t own this mode of production because, so they can’t give it up.
The people you are thinking of are the ~400 individuals who own the means of product, and you are correct that they won’t willingly give that up.
Jesse Wells has a line that gets me every time:
“Time is not a mirror/ it’s some distorted view/ of the way you thought you was/ and what you thought they thought of you”
