I've got around another year and a few months to go after you, and I'm going to celebrate that particular chunk of carefree youth by treating myself to a new pair of compression socks.

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!

Capitalism colonizes the brain and limits the scope of imagination into a ledger.
the post office is a public service. it doesnβt need to make money. public transit doesnβt need to make money. the library doesnβt need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Reminder that this is murder, and nothing but. It is not legal, and I really hope that everyone involved in these operations, from planning through to execution, end up being prosecuted for these murders.
Here's what we know as of Saturday morning. If White House figures are to be believed, the U.S. has killed 17 people on ships in the Caribbean this month.
The US hit ANOTHER boat in the Caribbean today. Trump shared video of it, again accusing the crew of being drug traffickers. With 3 allegedly killed, this brings the total killed in all 3 attacks to 17 this month, per White House figures. New @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/us-thir...

Not for funny reasons, though. Acrimonious divorce proceedings can easily take that long, especially in situations where abuse and mental illness are factors.
