Looking about for a pic, but thought this amusing for the moment.
I am on other spaces ...just decided to use this long-term nom-de-plume here.

...At this rate I am wondering when countries are going to just seize things like our military bases after basically being told they are owned by a hostile power.
And deport the military personnel due to concerns of espionage.
The current administration really does not think things through.

In response to a cult of abuse operating within a culture of abuse, I wrote a taxonomy of abuse: what it is, how it works, and what we can learn about our part in stopping it.

Cult(ure) of Abuse
How do we deal with a culture of abuse? What is our part in ending it? How do we deal with an abusive cult of millions?

I have no doubt their network states will be bombed and invaded, or collapse from general incompetence, once the USA is no longer there to protect them. The question isn't whether the tech fascists end up dead—it's whether they take us along for the ride.

Anyone surprised that the "Peace Award" from FIFA looks like the hands of the damned are coming out of Hell to grasp and pull down the globe?

So no reason to worry if you see a floating blob in a lake. It's just a filter-feeding colony of very ancient animals, a kind of freshwater coral made of goo.
On the other hand, that's EXACTLY what I'd be telling you if they WERE xenomorph eggs & I was an evil scientist, so... grain of salt.

Magnificent bryozoan: What are the giant blobs floating in US waters?
It might look like a giant gummy bear, or a brain-shaped blob...like something from another planet maybe? But actually this blob was found on Earth floating in a US lake...

One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.

remember: columbo isn't a cop. he's a fae with a strong sense of justice, who shows up to crimes and glamours people into thinking he's a cop.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

So... spells.
We're using spells to undo the work we've done... tricking rocks into thinking with lightning.
And trapping evil cars in circles of salt.

…when interviewing for my shop, I do actually notice comments regarding your “unpopular view” that there are White Indigenous Europeans, followed by comments about helping your Ancestral Astrology folk not feel guilty about money…and your reaction of belatedly mentioning a bit of Mexican heritage…

Am I the only one wondering if A reason the (more rich) bigots are focused on the United States/Technocracy map being more “White” is linked to awareness of possible AMOC shutdown? (it does work into their whole thing about smaller nation states they control protected inside larger countries)

I think people should be allowed to get abortions whenever they want for any reason. I don't give a shit and it doesn't affect me
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
