Reading, writing, art, politics, science, history, good shows, travel, brainy stuff, progressive stuff; pc gamer, 40k fan - I like fake dystopias, not real ones.
New term for a lot of people who argue, for example, that climate change isn’t real, or who think kids can replace air-traffic controllers, etc. etc.
Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Apparently Sweden doesn’t go for “thoughts and prayers” - they prefer to change their laws and actually, truly protect their people from this ever happening again. It is horrible that they have to go through this even once. No one should have to.

We need to be ready, not one step behind.

- People watching each Department/Agency building, ready to alert others if/when the "DOGE" lackeys show up there
- Ready response teams that include lawyers, people who work/understand those institutions, and most importantly, media - to get the word out.

The plan, imo, fellow Americans, is simple:

The orange turd runs the country into the ground, like all his other failures; he and his rich friends then swoop in using $$, the law, and violence (para-military, etc.) to take what they want at bargain basement prices, and make the rest of us serfs.

In light of Biden pardoning his son after previously saying he wouldn’t, and how so many are screaming and pearl-clutching about it, yet they said pretty little or nothing when Trump lied about things like Project 2025, this aphorism comes to mind:

“One is punished most for one’s virtues.”

My word of the day.

Sadly,I think a lot of people will soon learn this is what they were when they voted for the orange turd to be in the WH again.

One extra good thing to come out of Gaetz resigning from his DOJ bid - he’s no longer in Congress, either.

As far as I know, he can’t just get his seat back, can he? (Goodness I fucking hope he can’t).

I’m bringing back a word that I learned back when we had to endure the first run of this clusterfuck shitshow.

That word is kakistocracy.
