Oh hang on.

I’m getting word that groups of unidentified masked people in black are not always who they seem to be? Oh no. What if some of them are feds??

I love all of the policies black bloc has successfully pushed for over the last three decades.

Such as…
uh….

I don’t give a shit if you’ve been to a protest. I specifically WANT people who’ve never been to a protest to come to this one and all that follow.

If that’s you, I’ll see you there.

And if you’re a black bloc macho man—get over yourself, put on the fucking frog suit, and get in the streets

Yes, scoreboard.

Please add another zinger to your naïve dipshit score

zota @zota.bsky.social · 20h

Ahhhh. So this has Nothing to do with the efficacy of protest to bring change. This is about you trying to get points on a scoreboard.

The first time I met one of you nimrods was at the 2000 DNC.

Come to LA, friendo. Show us how to stop the tanks. Have fun with it.

Are you claiming there wasn’t tear gas used in LA at the last No Kings, contrary to all available documented evidence?

Or are you trying to get people to upload photos to you 🐖

Only been hit once. It was at the last No Kings protest?

Is that why you don’t wanna go? You’re scared?

Alright, I’ll give you credit. You sound like a naïve dipshit who’s posted waaay more about protests than you’ve actually put your body on the line.

So you’re either a talented actor, or a genuine moron

And I was making a joke about how Porter is trying to avoid that fate by abusing her staff so persistently that she never holds elected office again

zota @zota.bsky.social · 1d

It's what happened to Feinstein. She was voted in to office and and re-elected until she literally died.

zota @zota.bsky.social · 1d

You think Porter is trying to avoid getting re-elected?

I’ve found myself 1/5 of the way in to a bog standard gruit, struggling to reason myself into a fuller appreciation of twigs and prunes, suddenly dreaming of the over-sweetened bitter grits of a hazy ipa

zota @zota.bsky.social · 1d

That sounds fun and charming till you find yourself at the gruit bar drinking a mug of tea made from soaking a witch’s socks

Spookiest decoration at the "Zoo Goes Boo" event at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids? Giant model of parasitoid wasps hatching from cocoons affixed to their caterpillar host.

Large model of a green caterpillar, the back of which is covered by dozens of white cocoons. Wasps can be seen emerging from some of the cocoons.
