Severance is an incredible show. One of the best ever made tbh and it’s only on its second season.

i’m interested in seeing how people who voted for him are going to rationalize their support when the tariffs are pushed to consumers to cover. goods and services are going to increase in price and instead of it being due to a series of complicated events that the president is of course involved in it’ll be directly Trump’s fault. explain that away, please.

she had a two or three week period of support and then she completely ruined it by promising to capitulate to the right and reaffirmed America’s prepardness for war. i saw leftists of all types say they were willing to vote for her as a means to reject fascism if she listened to their concerns. there were tons of jokes about “letting liberals have this one” and the discomfort of having to align with liberals on something. it wasn’t every leftist, of course, but… i’ll speak as myself i wasn’t expecting Biden to drop out so him actually fucking off gave me the smallest twinkle of hope lol. then it was obliterated. she campaigned with Liz Cheney. Liz. Cheney. great job. very smart of you.

it’s already been mentioned in a comment but recycling isn’t nearly as helpful as it was intended to be and often acts like a bandage on a festering wound. we just move non-recyclable plastic from one area to another. there’s no real regulation over the labels used to indicate how to recycle something, so your guidelines are often wrong. idk it just seems like we pushed for Americans to recycle and then did absolutely no follow-up on how that was going and whether it was working or not.

i’m convinced the majority of Americans simply don’t care but feel compelled to answer considering cultural morals, so they choose to express some level of disapproval. not caring here is a symptom of political apathy which is itself a symptom of a exhaustion from living under an oppressive and failed ideology. they don’t care that he died, whatever. worse things to focus on. but they “know that’s wrong” and respond to these questions in the perceived expected way.

so in my mind, the people who don’t care and the people who sympathize with the shooter likely make up more than anyone who criticizes them. i haven’t met a single person who hasn’t had a terrible experience with health insurance. we have all suffered in the health care industry. brian thompson was a social murderer and a fucking parasite.

yup! one of the things i was thinking of when i left my comment. Americans are not told of their options because an educated population is dangerous. those in power would rather keep us exhausted and fighting with each other.

i’ve been waiting for this strain of bird flu to reach human-to-human transmission. once that happens we are truly fucked. we didn’t handle COVID and the pandemic is still ongoing. people complained about “shut downs” in the US and there was no such thing lol. name a single state that shut down. name a small town! nobody was prevented from traveling, there were merely recommendations and advisories. anyway, bird flu is gonna be bad. i’m very worried.

i don’t understand how it isn’t a massive problem to the public that people will often run campaigns on lies and abandon their supposed principles once in office. Fetterman is probably the biggest recent example of this bullshit except he is even worse because he is not shying away from people pointing out how he has “changed.” he hasn’t changed lol he merely lied. he should be followed everywhere he goes with a crowd of jeers and boos and tomatoes being flung at him.

i have ADHD and i’m certain there’s a connection.

if anything i smarten up. text allows me to organize my thoughts and analyze my word choices. i can say much more and provide more detail over text. when i talk i feel stupid lol.

i was rather obsessed with this band as a teenager. amanda palmer was such an influence on me she inspired me to teach myself piano. i wouldn’t be a musician if it weren’t for her. they keep teasing another album but it seems doubtful. i love their current two. the compilation is decent.

i worry our species is irreversibly doomed. honestly, i feel certain we are yet i refuse to act as though i believe it. if i give in and give up and sit back and wait for the worst to come then i won’t be able to say “i tried” to whichever younger generation asks the rest of us why we did nothing and let the human race go extinct. climate change will likely bring about the end but any number of things could happen before then, and capitalism will have spearheaded all of them.

I have only been here a couple days and I am enjoying myself quite a bit. I am finding this refreshing. I was on the verge of exhaustion with popular social media. I’m glad I found Hexbear.

aw dang yeah, RIP :( — i can’t remember where i heard of the movie but once i realized it was the same people who made Wet Hot American Summer i was in board. that movie is so funny as well.

the scene with Bubbie 🤣😭

ah dang, missed it.

another example of how sexual minorities are still targeted in the US and are at risk of assault and death. i hope the two men who were victimized are supported by their community and loved ones. it makes me so angry that there are people out there who think gays are “normalized” because same-sex marriage is legal. far from it lol. we are still thought of as immoral and disgusting by tens of millions.

They Came Together made me laugh so hard during one scene I had to pause for a good few minutes to collect myself. Such a funny movie in general.

i’m in the US and am becoming increasingly worried about privacy online (as if i needed more reasons). as a leftist, i believe it will become even more difficult to organize in the near future and want to protect myself as much as possible. i know nothing can truly assure me my information won’t be compromised but i’m going to try and do what i can to limit the possibility. also, dealing with reddit, twitter, and bluesky have convinced me to abandon popular social media. i don’t even like using YouTube.

i want to belong to a community of likeminded people who understand the seriousness of privacy and the reality of potential revolution in the US.

i can’t see if they suspect where she caught it from or not. anyone know?
