The no kings protest here was fantastic

Nothing in life ever prepared me for the absurdity of waking up and going to work every day as the world around me slides into authoritarianism.

The new pope is from Chicago? I can't wait for the deep dish communion waffers.

Never buy a house near a church. The entire season of Lent is just a bunch of assholes parking in front of people's driveways and littering.

I am, and I deleted all the online shopping apps off my phone. The hidden cost of this convenience isn't worth two day shipping

I can't wait for you to experience the joy and torture of all your holds becoming available at the same time.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING
Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led
by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

I finally got back to scanning and correcting old family slides. I do not know how the hell this became my hobby

I hate living in an America where every day is incrementally worse than the day before it.

My wild hot take: based on a true story movies are so popular with Conservative Christian movie studios because they know their audience has so little media literacy and empathy that they are not able to feel any connection to a fictional character or situation.

This is so very VERY terrifying. The tariffs are bad, but this, this is some real Dictator shit.

Elon Musk’s Team Now Has Access to Treasury’s Payments System

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave Mr. Musk’s representatives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency a powerful tool to monitor and potentially limit government spending.

Driving through rural Kansas and it's only the houses with multiple broken down cars and a half collapsed barn that have trump signs

I've been watching the speech from the end of The Great Dictator a lot again. I do this every time things start to feel a little fascisty. In my opinion It is one of the best movies and if you haven't seen it you should.

I will always regret not buying this Nic Cage in Con Air Jesus painting.

As a KC native I'm all for it as long as we still get enough cut aways to Taylor to piss off all the chuds.

Current mood: listening to The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived in 0° f (-17° C) weather on my way to work to pretend everything is fine.

I've seen the middle aged men on flights back from Turkey, seems like plugs are easier and more accessible than ever

I think now is the perfect time to embrace absurdist humor and art. Art reflects life, and life is a dumpster fire on a sinking ship. Might as well match they energy with art and humor.

I did a pen sketch of a random photo photo reference, it turned out ok I think

Yes, the Edward minifig sparkles. And Renesme looks more realistic as legos

It is cold and snowing and a sundowning psychopath is going to be in charge of way too much soon, so the Ice King has been on my mind.
