I've liked bits & pieces of Worthitpurchase's previous releases, but they really found a groove with their new album. Very consistent, a joy to listen to. I needed to hear this after a frustrating last 12 hours.

Yeah so...
Near the halfway point of October & I'm still grinding, not even at the 45% mark. Honestly getting frustrated at my lack of progress.

I have been reading Schattenfroh for exactly one week. I am 28 percent done, I have not quit, I highly doubt I will quit, but... I really am in it deep. It is absolutely confounding. The prospect of being immersed in this for four more weeks is daunting. But I have not quit.

Imagine being such a high-strung weak-kneed coward that an ambulance being put into park sends you into a frothing murderous rage, where are they even finding these freakshows

ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good. Stop Using Gasoline To Wash Clothes. Springs Are Ubiquitous & Essential To Modern Life

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Trump has gone totally mad. It's 25th Amendment time all day, every day. He's living in a totally invented, fictional world. And he's old and in ill-health.

It's outrageous, reckless, choose your word that Republicans haven't done more to deal with this.

Trump: "The restaurants were all closing, now you can't get into a restaurant. They're opening up new restaurants. It took 12 days for us. We sent in not politically correct military. We sent them in based on merit."

This happened & CNN tried to help the fascists cover it up.

Sure would be a shame if certain no-goodnicks kept this afloat.
