Me: comic-book villains are not very believable

*2024 happens*

Me: okay, fine. But no one believes that a hero will dress up as an animal like a bat or a spider or a, I dunno, a frog, and face down the bad guys.

*2025 happens*

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

For those in Australia, here's a petition to make our gov charge fossil fuel companies for the damage they're causing. Pls read & consider signing :) nb.australiainstitute.org.au/climatedisas...

Make fossil fuel exporters pay for the damage they are causing, not ordinary Australians

Climate change is making natural disasters like fires, floods, heatwaves and drought worse, costing Australians billions every year. Make fossil fuel producers pay a climate disaster levy to help pay...

Strange days. Strange skies.

Opened up one of those multi-soda dispensing machines at the movie theater to see how it worked. There was a goblin inside. Tubes connected to its numerous nipples. It likes to be milked. It wants to be milked.

Cats are and always have been cyberpunks
