at no point did we defund the police. it's important when we talk about defunding the police to note it never actually happened. would it work? we don't know! but merely phrasing the idea succinctly incited a reactionary backlash that put fascists in charge of all 3 branches of government. curious!

In honor of Mario Paint arriving on Switch, here is a very dumb movie I made with Mario Paint when I was a kid. You could only make/save one short little animation loop at a time, so to put a story together I had to make each shot and record them one by one on an old Betamax VCR.
