Yes!!!!! Thank you! That's awesome!

I thought it mattered too. Seems like Congress and SCOTUS have given up all of their power to the mad orange king.

Sad. The sequel was ... fine.

RJ Nerd Dad @rjnerddad.bsky.social · 1h

Very fair.

Phillip K. Dick is the GOAT, obviously.

I have lower standards for movies, especially movie adaptations. So I am still able to enjoy it. Could be a nostalgia element to it,too, since it's one of the first weird, stylish movies I saw in highschool before I went all in.

A fellow fan! I discovered Brazil in 1990, much to my friends' and college roommates' chagrin. Well worn VHS tape? Check. Movie poster on the wall? Check. Endless quoting? Triple check!

The struggle is real!

RJ Nerd Dad @rjnerddad.bsky.social · 1h

Well said!

RJ Nerd Dad @rjnerddad.bsky.social · 1h

Yep. I got my official diagnosis, but unfortunately that doesn't stop me from speaking out my ass, too. 😜

It's a reference to the expression "The pigeon will just knock over the pieces, shit on the board, and strut around like it won"

trump and his DOJ are the pigeon.

Yeah.. hey wait. Did you do a sarcasm again?

Go fightin' <local town name> Waffles! Thats some good sportballin'!

RJ Nerd Dad @rjnerddad.bsky.social · 2h

And I can't even spell.

RJ Nerd Dad @rjnerddad.bsky.social · 2h

Fellon and the sleaze

Ok, that sounded better in my head. But I got the reference at least. I'm going back to bed now.

Only if you're already a billionaire.

We can all have magic beans if we only learn to have zero ethics and enslave the 99%.

Last time the crash took out bonds too. Gold, I guess?

RJ Nerd Dad @rjnerddad.bsky.social · 2h

That is really funny. So why am I crying?

Artificial Credit Default Swaps. Well fuck me.

Um...

a young man in armor is making a sad face .

Alt: Joffrey from GOT snivelling. He has the same hair and pedigree as Baron.

OMH. This is amazing.

I'm going to try my idea again to see if I can get any traction this time. Ready?...

More violent arrests for seemingly no reason. Seeing at least two, sorry don't have exact total.

The crowd here has kept moving backward/everyone is following orders. This is absurd.

lol gentle reminder that DEI is not illegal. Supporting marginalized groups is not illegal. Anyone reneging on support is making a CHOICE to do so.
