Tell me again how a black Democrat woman president would be worse than this.

This is the fucking energy we need in the US right now. Not simply the anger of the Monologue, but the energy of the music and the push back against the media trying to normalize fascism by sanitizing Trump's absolute insanity into calm options.

One of my favorite uses of Sutherland's sermon from that movie.

There are many great YouTube channels out there talking about things I am interested in or love. That said, many of them need to find their voice. I mean literally. The sheer number of great thoughts being verbally rushed through as fast as possible as monotone as possible is maddening. Slow down.

Honestly, Apple, removing that ICE alert app puts you in a very weird position for still including the Maps app and Waze on the App Store that allow you to effectively do the same thing by reporting the location of police officers. How exactly are you guys justifying that again?

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

With bringing light to dark times, it was very therapeutic to be out among the crowds today.

I know it's not in vogue to still be enjoying Harry Potter, but those are always sort of non-horror fantasy that I enjoy around this time of year. Same with LOTRs. (I have come to have affection for the OG Potter cast that grew into such great human beings, unlike the creator of the series.)

This brings up the question: what is a great non-horror Halloween movie? Or movies? Or just a great seasonal movie for the shorter days and longer nights.

Religious folks often ask how to have morality without religion. Here's the secret: you don't. Morality is for the religious. Ethics is for the human being. Immoral behavior is often excusable, and within a religion actually forgivable. Unethical behavior just straight up means you're a bad person.

You know, you never realize you have an aesthetic and then one day you do, and mine is hot coffee in a hovering rattan chair in a spaceship. If I happen to be a cute Oni alien girl in some sort of big can't bikini with green hair, then I will accept the role the universe thrust upon me with gusto.

Hey everyone, look who all the sudden is worried about consent now! Hey now just kidding around! Just having some yucks! It’s just playful banter! I dunno, if I can touch whoever I want without asking , maybe I’m looking into this whole MAGA conservative movement. Anyway, shut up and just relax.

Learned that phrase from every “girlfriend” you ever had I’m guessing?
