Desert
Dystopia
Destiny🚀

A breathtaking romp through pre-dystopian times.

"Our revenge was thorough. A total purge of them and everything they held dear. We burned their lives to the ground and pissed on the #ashes."

It may seem like everything is burnt and gone, but remember the phoenix rose from the #ashes.

Wasn't Argentina where the Nazis took off to after WWII? Asking for about 20 billion reasons...

In the #clash of good and evil, it appears the insipid and whingeing have the upper hand. All we need to do is ride it out, minimize the damage, and then hunt them down like rabid dogs when the time comes.

This Xmas, thrill to the disco stylings of The #Clash as they unleash an all new sound to bring all the milkshakes to your yard.

I guess "Sales #Associate" sounds better than "Guy who fills out the paperwork to let you buy a car".

You can tell a lot about a person by who they #associate with. If it's dogs, you're all good. If it's red hats, run the hell away.

You know, if we ditched the Electoral College and individual votes counted, gerrymandering would be useless.

Since he's pissing off all the right people, it looks like I need to buy some Bad Bunny music.

They probably told him the tanning tube was a medbed.

Sure, you can't judge a book by it's cover. But you also shouldn't judge it by its paper; some amazing tales were printed on shitty #pulp paper.

Instead of stuffy old works about whales and pilgrims wandering about, we should study the #pulp masterworks of evil in the heart and men of bronze. It would at least generate interest in reading.

It's good to see some folks in Congress are still looking out for their constituents.

The good news is we found an #oasis. The bad news is some billionaire bought it and now is has a $30 cover charge. Also, you're gonna need to wear a bikini. They sell them in the gift shop.

I think all most people are looking for is an #oasis of comfort in the vast desert of cruelty.

Does anyone else feel like the US isn't a country so much as a bizarre social experiment involving propaganda and weaponized stupidity?

If you ever look back on your life and everything is a #blur, it could just be that your life wasn't that interesting and your brain didn't record it.
Or you were, like, really, really drunk for most of it.

#Blur the lines. No, wait. Get rid of the lines entirely. The lines aren't doing you any good so ditch 'em and go live your life.
