Once again, a story about my sister.
At the age of about 4, she woke up from a nap asking where I and our grandmother were. Upon being told that we'd gone for a walk, she piped up with "and those -jackasses- didn't wait for me?"

how old were you the first time you said fuck to an adult?
while we're at it: got any stories about cussing as a very young person?

My sister went to Thanksgiving at a friend's place when she was in junior high. She was super impressed that her friend's family had the same 'mold' for the cranberry sauce that ours did.
(the cranberry sauce was just out of the can with the ridges from the can itself)

See also: the bullshit framing of 'lost profit', which is actually just Line Didn't Go Up Fast Enough but gets framed as companies actually "losing" money they never had in the first place, they just assumed they would.
wish these articles got straight to the point. "why aren't you giving us all your money" just say it man. you know you want to
"People are poor and that's not enriching the rich"

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

Those who have less than full throated support and love for trans people disgust me. Who doesn't see the version of themselves they long to be in their mind? They hate those with the courage to do something about it, who show the rules for the meaningless white-after-labor-day calvinball bs they are

I get honked at so much when I don't turn right on red leaving my house, but you have to be completely in the crosswalk to see around parked cars, and I have a fucking kid who walks to school in those crosswalks.
No vehicle should be moving through an intersection when pedestrians are crossing.

No, the human actor is most frequently the villain/antagonist in a muppet movie, so obviously Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.
(also a Muppet Superman movie must have a Super Grover cameo)

Me: Obviously Lois Lane would be Miss Piggy in Muppet Superman. Kermit should be Clark Kent but *NOT* Superman. Superman is Henry Cavill and looking like a frog is just him acting meek

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

You can never get anywhere in gender equality until you understand that many many men do not think women are people in the way other men are people.
We are pets or animals to be trained and used.
And until you accept that it really IS that bad and that dramatic, you cannot move forward.
