Didn’t love One Battle After Another. Politics felt remarkably conservative.

Can I help? Happy to set some shit up.

Oh no!!!! Solidarity, friend.

Pack it up, pack it in, go ahead and begin.

We’re not making a good case in support of our existing in 100 years with this sort of thing.

Great song.

Better yet would’ve been firing them a year ago. But late is better than never.

I still vividly remember the first time I heard someone pronounce it correctly. I’d been saying it wrong for years.

Thanks for your service, Mr. yankovic

In miserable times, people ask: what can I possibly do as an individual?
The answer: not a lot, except join other individuals. Solidarity is where power is to be found. Join a union. @cornellaaup.bsky.social

Underrated phenomenon is so many people were already looking for streaming services to cut and Disney basically helped them figure it out.

Goddammit.

Here’s a thought. Cancel Disney+ and put half of the $200 you’ll save per year into causes that work against the fascists killing democracy. Buy something else nice with the other half.

Cancelling Disney+ and boycotting Target are excellent. But nothing will do more than what we can do together. Join a union. Solidarity is the power we really have as individuals.
Nothing could be weaker than the feeble might of one. It’s the union makes us strong.
