Eventually, all villains turn on each other.

I'd prefer not to be in YOUR idea of a party as well, but maybe YOU'RE the one who should leave.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
It looks like he's wearing one of those harnesses my kids wore when I carried them around attached to my chest as babies. Is that guy next to him going to strap him on when they leave the studio?
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Considering your publishing history, that's worth a lot. Thank you for the encouragement.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean, your interpretation may be correct, and I'M the one who missed it.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
That's what you got out of this? Not that the stereotype being satirized is that football players are big dumb jocks who get hit in the head, effectively making them big dumb animals?
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
This is literally the only way to deal with a malignant narcissist- tell them that beneficial thing was their idea all along and let them take credit for it.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean, you're all correct. If, in 3 years, that's the only choice - well, shit - then we hold our collective noses and vote. But until then we should work together to assure that is absolutely not the only choice.

You're talking about Republicans, right?

My absolutely favorite vampire film.

The entire regime are monsters. He couldn't do it if they didn't help.

Really? I was under the impression they just went up the last few days.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Many people say lot's of things. I'll believe it when I see the body strung up in front of the White House like a skinned deer.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
This is what constantly hobbles me. I don't want to make something that sucks, mainly because I don't want you guys to think less of me.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I hope he has all the strokes.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
No! No! Oh, God, No!
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
There's more than one person with that body?
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
They just appeared. Give them a minute.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I mean, they literally just appeared. Give the trolls time - they'll be up soon, probably.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
You're not seeing the parallels?

Did they spend the night at a Holiday Inn Express?

Mood board? That sounds intriguing. What would you suggest for a cthuluesque action horror set in the arctic?

Yep. He's angry that he lost an election, and nothing is more dangerous than a malignant narcissist with a chip on their shoulder.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
What's the point of commenting? They'll do what they want and fire anyone who disagrees. At this point, it's like adding your name to the administration's hit list.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I hope those decisions stand. But I wonder who's going to enforce them.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
They are doing their jobs. Their jobs are to destroy the American government.

I've never been the president, but I'm fairly certain there's other things he should be taking care of than sniffing Seth Meyer's ass.

Pretty sure they're talking about the "Hopes and Prayers" crowd who keep telling us there's nothing that can be done about gun violence even though they're the ones letting it continue.

Lovely. Huge "I've got a banana in my ear to ward off the tigers" energy, lol.

Well, I liked it.

Excellent poster! I have a bunch of puzzles I've assembled then glued together and framed, and I need to put them up in my office.

Good. Can't fucking wait.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Simply untrue. Protests have record numbers. Representatives switchboard are full. Town halls are riotous. The problem is you are not seeing it on the news, as they are deliberately not showing it. They are all owned by the right-wing, now.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Why do people say things like "No one seems particularly bothered" when story after story after independent news video is talking about it? Of course we are all bothered. Millions of people are protesting constantly, speaking out, and yelling at their MAGA reps.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh, no. Anyway ...
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, they're dumb.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not one man. It's an entire party and a good number of our fellow citizens. They want this. It's disgusting.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Or are they...
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
But he has zero political capital, and no one likes him. He actually has ideas about running things, but has no clue how. And no one like Johnson, his likely VP, either, and it leaves a gap in the House. It's an altogether positive outcome, comparatively.

Sometimes neurodiversity looks like a minor social faux pas a neurotypical would laugh off and forget results in crippling self-doubt and emotional trauma for days if not weeks for us. And yes, we'd stop it if we could.

Having been on multiple film and TV show sets, this doesn't seem all that odd. There are days you're acting to a PA or stuffed doll. Shatner and Montalban were never in the same room. They've been doing this sort of thing for decades.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Wow. Not a fan.

You mean the police departments who are working with ICE except in rare instances? The fascists with badges? Those guys?

I'm 8 minutes in and all she's done so far is make pithy complaints about Schumer and Jeffries. (Which I don't disagree with, BTW.) This video is six months old. Senate opposition is irrelevant - they are just doing things with EO's. Ignoring the courts. And law. None of this will work.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Does that thing play Donkey Kong?
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
And what is that?
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
What can Congressional Dems do? Actually do, like, pass laws or stop legislation or stop ICE, etc? They can do all sorts of things, and they are. But they cannot physically stop this administration. And that's what people are blaming them for. Unfairly, IMHO.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Terrific!
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Mmmm, boots.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Literally not true. This narrative is part of the problem. Plenty of Dems are pushing back. But they have zero power, because right-wing propaganda has left the Dems neutered and unable to stop this. SCOTUS, DOJ, and the media are all complicit. What can they do, except speak out?
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
It's a valid concern, right now.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
We stopped being a democratic country on Jan 20.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Probably.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I am not happy that our seemingly best popular choice to defeat 47 right this second is the garbage Newsom, but that looks the be the case. I'm looking for the better viable candidate, but I fear he'll beat out AOC (who, as a woman, doesn't have a chance) or literally anyone else.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I think these are the "Dems aren't doing anything" crowd who want Dems to act like Republicans instead of actually trying to do their jobs, holding rallies, inspecting ICE facilities, conducting hearings, and exposing MAGA malfeasance without having any real power to stop it.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I am so angry that my country is doing this, and that so many of my fellow citizens support it. Worse are those who enabled it my staying home or withholding their vote for Harris on Election day. This is on them as much as the MAGAs.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Loved the first half. They played more offense in this game than most of the last season, it felt. Should have had a clean sheet, but for that inconsistent hand ball ruling - either both were or neither were. Hope they can keep up the momentum.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm trying. Executive dysfunction is an issue. Also, imposter syndrome and exhaustion. But mostly the dysfunction.

There isn't even a viable candidate yet, and you all are trashing them. It's like when studios announce a new Star Wars film and the "fans" shit on it before it even has a name.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Well, we have primaries where we vote on who, of the available candidates, we want to run in the regular campaign.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
This, all this. I used to think he was ok, not the best, but not terrible. His recent record on Trans persons and his platforming of Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon was eye-opening. I'm glad he's trolling the MAGAts, but that doesn't make him Presidential.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
That's pretty funny. Still not voting for him for President.

More like, this is what happens when a cult forms around a malignant narcissist and takes control of a government.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
You know, they are literally doing everything they can. Do you seriously think if they had the power to stop it, they wouldn't?
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Simply untrue.
RPG Dad (@paranoyd.bsky.social) reply parent
Um, who would run that ad? The mainstream media is complicit. They aren't reporting on what the Dems are doing, now. What makes you think they would allow that to be seen?

I hate to tell you, we already are. There are so many agencies and contracts and sciences and goodwill the Republicans have abandoned or destroyed, that we will never get back. We will have to build a new government. New laws to make sure this doesn't happen again. New relationships. New parties.

I've been male since I was born in 1970, and that's always been how I've seen most men relating to men. Which is one reason I don't really relate to most men. Part of the isolation problem is men like me not having other men like me to relate to.
