About as dramatic a B&W selfie as I can possibly manage, but I end up looking like a goofball. Which tracks.

I regret to inform you that the writer of that article says I don’t exist. I’m a hallucination that’s interested in sci-fi. Can’t have tits and be into Star Trek.

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me.
His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

It's honestly the reason my constant refrain is "I'm pretty good,*under the circumstances*."
Real. I don’t struggle with depression, I’m good at it. It’s society and culture that are the serious drags.

Just blocks from where I was teaching today, a guy with a long gun goes walking around the dorms of UMass.
I don't even think it'll make national news.
It's also 7PM local time and he's still at large.

When that idiot rapist won the first time, I had this on pretty much an endless loop in my car.
When he won again, I switched to the 2020 remix of "Fight the Power".
Nevertheless, this classic of unadulterated anger and rage remains:

When George III deployed the military to police his own subjects in Boston in 1775, colonists turned out in the streets and began pelting them with snowballs, ice, and oyster shells.
It’s hard to believe there was a time when you couldn’t find a good sandwich in Boston.

A political party of Travis Bickles, all the way down.
The idea among rightwingers of cities being dangerous extends to the smallest cities possible. I live in a city of maybe 30,000 people, and I remember a coworkers' husband years ago acting like I must witness Taxi Driver-level degradations everyday.

Did you know that the US Virgin Islands had their own separate Jeffrey Epstein investigation? Yes they did. As far as I can tell it was settled out of court by JP Morgan Chase who the finger had been pointed at in the conspiracy and cover-up. I'd like to see all of the discovery and transcripts.

My favourite thing about that Marc Maron excerpt is the simple retort it offers us for when people continue to complain about "woke".
"Great, well, the governments all listened to you. You won. Everyone you hate is miserable. Now shut the fuck up about it."
