Every day I feel better and better about deleting all my Meta bullshit.
Out of NYT gifts, but please note that DHS is asking Google & Meta to turn over info on anti-ICE accounts.
Good time to kill your Google and your Meta.

Thought: if RPG dice are based on Platonic solids, are dice that always roll shitty Antagonistic solids?

Well, I finally did something I've been thinking about doing for over a year now. My Facebook account is scheduled for deletion on March 13th. I'm done with this fascist BS.

The Nazi SA - Sturmabteilung, or Storm Troopers - were often recruited from the dregs of society: barely literate failures incapable of holding down a job and only fit for murder and terror. The scum of Germany. Hitler gave them free rein to vent their rage on their betters. Sound familiar, America?

Now I’m thinking about when I took a career assessment in my Senior year of High School. And my results told me I was suited to be either a police officer, or a cake decorator.

A thought about Halloween (‘78). The bit where the other sitter drops a kid off with Laurie, and then her friends go to the house she’s sitting at, etc.
Imagine being the homeowners and coming home, finding your kid gone and your house full of dead teenagers who’d clearly been fucking in your bed.
