If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

Kinda crazy how much that photo of Lilah's taken off today.

But today there was also a big helping of

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.

Apparently, there's a kid on my niece's hockey team whose name is (legitimately, I should note):
Maverick Wolf
Like, the most 80s-action-hero-ass name that I've ever heard.

It's a little strange this year.
Normally, we've always done our big Christmas get-together on Christmas Eve on my mom's side of the family (This worked out well for going to dad's side on Christmas Day when that side still all got together).

You know what I'd like to see in some sort of video game/RPG situation?
An irritation meter for NPCs.
Like, a lot of dialogue options essentially boil down to "Choose this to be friendly" and "Choose this to start an actual fight"

There have been many days when "Maybe putting a vent in here will help what surely is just a pressure imbalance issue?" has sounded entirely too plausible.
Entirely too "Well, it can't be any worse than the side-effects of [med], right? And even if it doesn't really help, neither did [med] anyway"

Okay, one thing I kinda love about Stranger Things is how that, whenever characters get undeniably pulled into the supernatural upside-down bullshit, they all step the fuck up.
Like, it's pretty much only if someone gets mind-controlled/some such or is absolutely beyond irredeemable that they don't
