what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.

It sounds insane to say that a load-bearing pillar of right wing thought now is the desire to fuck your female family members paired with the obsession that Democrats will make you watch them fuck men of a different skin color and bear their children, but time makes Lovecraft protagonists of us all
The whole thing where Republicans are openly posting like weird fetish blogs about sex is so weird, even or perhaps especially in the context of their desire to resurrect the patriarchy

What I'd like to stipulate regarding this true statement is that
1. Urban America has more right than Rural America to decide what happens, not because they are more or less real or whatever, but because there are simply more people there. Cities are where people live, surprise surprise

I don’t mean by this to dilute what @kjephd.bsky.social is saying here. Urban America is real America. Rural America is real America. None is more real and all should assert themselves and not get some complex deciding that they’re somehow lesser. Have some self respect.

The shift from "sir this is a Wendy's" to "just put the fries in the bag" indicates a cultural rightward shift; whereas the former is making fun of someone by implying they're a customer doing too much, the latter is making fun of someone by implying they're a *worker* & should know their place

I genuinely find this argument baffling. All these resource extraction industries have basically been automated, I do not see why the remaining rural folks should get credit for owning the land containing resources

Just gonna say this again for games sphere cus we get the same question:
Networking doesn't mean schmoozing up to famous people, it means making friends with your peers. Then in 10 years, 20, one of you might be famous? And sure you're still helping each other cus well yeah friends.
Make. Friends.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +
