A lot of people treat boycotts like dieting. If you "mess up" once you may as well eat a whole cake.

Remember that financial pressure is about large trends. More people spending less money. You're just one part of a larger effort. Do your best; reduce your dependence on the worst of the worst.

Good morning

A photo of a jar of pickles with the caption: Approximately 70% of all people who get cancer have eaten pickles. Most people who recently died in car accidents ate a pickle in the past year. All Americans who ate pickles in 1901 have died. Therefore pickles obviously kill people. (This is a post about Tylenol and autism.)

A job that allows me to move to a different country. Access to affordable healthcare that isn’t tied to my job. A teleporter.

*We* aren't supposed to believe it - they don't care. The cult is supposed to believe it - and they will.

ok maybe this isn't a particularly 'hot' take. Still.

#hottake - I have always found Rage Against the Machine to be the most milquetoast and impotent of things that call themselves "protest music." I get it dude: you can yell. Yell something interesting hmm?
