I love that there's a visible rift in the sky, they've been attacked by saber-toothed tigers, huge wolves & a giant sloth the size of a house, & the stoner masters student who studies the tar pits explains that they're in 10,000 BC & they're all, like, nah dude you're crazy, because he's a stoner.

I'm watching La Brea on Tubi, an absolutely horrible show about people dropped through a time rift in the La Brea Tar Pits to 10,000 BC. I'm only continuing to watch it because living in this time line I kinda envy them.

It also gives them the room to claim fictional victories. If the word antifa didn't exist they would have invented it.

Claiming to fight a fictional antifa network works out better for them than if antifa were a real thing.

I am saying once again that the Conservative attack on the Arts is because they are incredibly envious of artists who they perceive as a group that has “too much” cultural power, a type of influence Conservatives crave but will never have because they’re anti-intellectuals with no imagination.
