You useless, immediate-gratification fucking can’t even take care of your own actual bodies, and you think you can get 8 billion of you to agree on taking care of the planet?

We’re all fucked. I don’t know what piss drunk god decided apes was the way to go but they were a fucking moron.

Turns out, bathing in the blood of your enemies - while profoundly satisfying both physically and spiritually - is an excellent way to contract a raging case of syphilis.

A good letter. Again, I’d prefer maybe they channel one of America’s greatest generals and simply reply: “Nuts”.

As in, “you can go ahead and gargle bofa deez nuts”

If you think universities knuckling under is surprising, you’re a fool.

Senior administration has been glutted with federally-guaranteed student loan money (that’s the cash cow) for decades and doesn’t want the spigot squelched.

You drown in debt, they line their pockets.

Why is no one talking about the absolutely fucking obvious intention behind the deployment of federalized troops to America’s cities?

They are mustering to intimidate and suppress the vote in 2026. They will be dragging brown people out of polling places, doing violence, to disrupt the Blue Wave.
