It is hyperbolic bullshit to say the playset and garden were massive scandals.

Makes us dumber.

You can make your point without adding on extras.

C'mon.

Right.

Like, he could hire a soundy to do it for him?

I keep telling you. He's 73 years old and he's...(looks it up)...oh, still with us. That's nice.

But yes, I want this, too.

Wherever you go, there you are.

Dude, it's a fantastic story. Jean Wells ran all her ideas up the chain of command at TSR.

Erol Otus submitted artwork that degraded TSR staff and spouses. Wells objected. The boys running TSR dismissed her objections.

But then, on release day, something went down. Whole module pulled/rewritten.

Wall St is the Empire’s Deathstar. If you want to attack the regime go after the market.

That’s the only way. Not marching. Not chanting. Not furry suits. Not blaming Dems to do something. The Market. That’s how they gauge things.

Adjust your 401K to a non US index fund. Do that one thing to fight for Democracy.

Divestment is the strategy that was used to topple apartheid in South Africa. Divestment is the best tool to take down facism in America.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike

It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

One is a huge stretch, but let's say ok, on the grounds that having a jet certainly wouldn't make her LESS capable.

What is the justification for the second jet?

Yeah, idk. I don't think the quote is all that important. 8 is arbitrary. But the idea behind it is kinda cool.

"Our golden age is over and now the country is doomed" is not only loser talk, it's the exact equivalent of the mindset that spawned Trump and MAGA in the first place. It's reactionary, and it means you're looking for permission to give up. Liberalism means looking forward.

"it's over, we're doomed, we will never recover this capacity" is the most lame-o shit i have ever heard

Don't Fret. It Adores You @seed-corn-thoughts.bsky.social · 10d

I'll be honest, I think some level of degradation-of-talent in USG is unavoidable in, like... short to medium term, next cycle or two, but I think a lot of the conversations about it, like conversations about literally everything in America right now, ignore how fuckoff big the country is.
