The scary headlines about "Chorus, a sEcReT dArK mOnEy gRoUp" have been absolutely wild to watch. Because I'm in Chorus, & it's been a godsend. Without it, I wouldn't be able to cover the US's massive modern-day farm slavery problem- at all. youtu.be/f5UwwtrGdak

COVID may be “as over as it’s ever going to be”*, but arguing over school closures now is actually prepping for the next pandemic so even a Dem administration will go with “LET ‘ER RIP!” and so many people are going to die. *it’s not! it waxes and wanes! it could mutate and spike really badly!

Do you not understand that “what they could afford” changed due to outside circumstances beyond their control? Did you do this same song and dance during the housing bubble when everyone’s mortgages were underwater? They also had “bought more than they could afford.”

I mean, there’s probably some way that it being a “work expense” plays into it. Or he bought a large house and is fucking up in the innards.

He’s a low millionaire who’s still working, though. He’s not “really rich people” like a landlord or venture capitalist or something. His whole thing is tacky and gross and has a whiff of soft-MAGAism, though.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” They like to help with the bind-and-not-protect part.

Zenkus is a "Genocide Joe" dude and probably has at least a smidge of Accelerationist in him, but he also does social work for abused people and teaches so I feel like his "messy bitch" thing is still better than this "I don't even like Newsom, but you have to hand it to him!" shit.

full disclosure: i love the Morrison run and hate that Magneto as well “what if Magneto were a bitter, washed junkie loser?” is less interesting than him being a messy bitch with some good points, imo Rare Morrison miss, or I’m just not in the right place to “get it” like I should?

Morrison’s run was direct “no, this guy sucks” commentary on the popular conception of Magneto and it’s kind of amazing how much everyone loves that run and still hates that version of Magneto.

Sorry, I forgot to alt text. Also, I guess it could be a coherent but defeatist “vote blue no matter who, but only the reddest purple blue will do if we want to stop Fascism” stuff. Maybe she wishes Biden separated more families at the border because then he would have won? Maybe she’s sick.

Needing a shitload of opiates to even have a conversation is, in fact, a big part of the terminal cancer experience, to the point that I think you stop being classified “venomous junkie” while dying of cancer even if the shoe fit beforehand.

All these laws are written from the perspective of “binds but does not protect / protects but does not bind,” and looking for loopholes in them ignores that the ability to arbitrarily and capriciously enforce them is the goddamn point.
