Everyone says “everything changes” “it’s all different now” but not really, why can’t we be excited about action figures, video games, cool blinky lights, playing and listening to music. Nothing changes, just how we react and how much passion we put into things.

Censorship is out of control in the wrong ways anymore. I feel like that one reason everyone is so confused or feeling lost. No more for tv edits of movies so kids could watch but you have to say the “lords lettuce” or “unaliving”

Lazarus wasn't dead, he was severely depressed, and shut himself off for 4 days. His friend came back and sat down with him and hugged him even though he prolly smelled and stuff. Then he brought him out to everyone and they celebrated that he was feeling better.

He wasn’t breaking down over dying — he was breaking down because he knew he wasn’t strong enough to fix everything by himself.
And he knew that once he was gone, the real question wasn’t about miracles, or a cosmic afterlife — it was:

If you have privilege, use it to help those that don’t. Make sure people that are marginalized know you are an ally and will be welcomed. Be like Miep Gies.

Echos of the Past
The Rise to Power (2025-2026)
January 2025 – He is appointed as the leader of the country, rising to power through a mix of public support, economic turmoil, and political maneuvering. His party, once dismissed as radical, now controls the government.

I want my kids to be able to say, I know what it looks like. I was there. My dad knew what it looked like then and he did what he could to make sure it didn't happen again.

We've seen this playbook for oligarchic rise repeat itself throughout history in different forms. While the details change, the core strategies remain the same: accumulate wealth, buy influence, suppress dissent, exploit crises, and normalize inequality. Here are some of the most notable examples:

I feel like we’re getting to the point where schools are going to have to ask for their students to share their chat-gpt conversation that they used to have it write the paper for them. Just start with a question and go from there, it helps me learn a lot anyways

As a white middle aged suburban male, I know my privilege shields me from some challenges. As a father of three daughters and a son, Im committed to respect, equality and fairness. I want my daughters empowered without discrimination and my son to value respect for all, regardless of gender identity

I don't understand how republicans can listen to music... all the good songs (save a few) are written by people who completely disagree with you in like every way, and they write those songs about how much they disagree with you... and you sing along.
