Maybe nothing in sports as close to hard drugs as watching a bullpen rollicking in and out of jams, wet hair and strange jewelry, spitting and cursing, having entire conversations with themselves. A ship of filthy pirates drunk on the high seas.

when i was a kid i didn't understand how this worked and i thought every CD that was manufactured had to have a monster put onto it. like they'd go up to ringo starr or whatever and ask him what monster he wants and he'd say "ouhh this DEfinitely has a "Battle Rocks" quality to it! peace and love.!"

my main goal for the Game Boy RPG i'm making is that i will have failed if anyone describes it as "cozy". i'm fine with "nice". i'll take "cute" if it ends up there. never cozy

i think my stellar abilities as a small-time bullshit artist will be my most important skill going into the weird bits of the American Century of Humiliation

oh yeah sure if we just tax them more, they'll play nice and won't be a threat. grow up, read some Marx

read some Marx imo, you'll get where i'm coming from

i don't need the article explained to me, thanks! just pointing out how silly i found that 1 bit. but my larger point is there shouldn't be any billionaires ever, at all. sure, tax billionaires 100%. then throw them all in prison and take the rest of their wealth. end capitalism, no half-measures

soooo their money is the source of all their power, but the hoarding of it *isn't* the problem? liberal currents indeed

Liberal Currents @liberalcurrents.com · 19h

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

online in general is about the crucial authenticity of our whining and the sinister frivolity of everyone else's whining

Commenter today pretty much nailed it: "Online fandom seems to be build on believing your team will lose and being annoyed when the media says your team will lose."
