When your current government is virulently bigoted, the traditional bigot party has to go full Nazi to get any attention.

If I’d signed up for the heavily armed badass blood-and-soil enforcer brigade, it would probably hurt my morale to be surrounded by mitten-wearing social studies teachers yelling at me that I’m a pussy loser.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

Occurred to me that persistent doomposting feels very much like a form of obeying in advance.
It’s just a negative version of thoughts and prayers.
(NB Pointing out evil and injustice ≠ Doomposting.)

Extremely Herzog.
Dreamed I was lost in the Barbican on the way to meet Werner Herzog & my thumbs & tongue were made of wax & kept melting & when I finally found him he took one look at me, eyes filled with pity, disgust & a deep intimacy with the void & said “Rose, the furnace of your vanity is destroying you”

On one hand, Columbo is a police lieutenant, which is bad. On the other hand, Columbo makes more sense if you view him not as a cop but as some sort of supernatural entity, like a fey

Is this supposed to be funny? Anyone coming over from there at this point is either deeply traumatised OR was perfectly happy to be in the Nazi bar until just now. Either way I don’t see how it’s anything to make light of.
Welcome to everyone joining Bluesky from twitter. Someone will be assigned to you to misunderstand one of your jokes and scream at you shortly.

From one of my talks with Ursula Le Guin, on Omelas: "You want to help the kid, but you can't. One reason it makes kids so angry is that it’s an arbitrary rule. And they don’t want to realize that most social rules are arbitrary."
