As a Californian, the amount of ads I have seen railing against Prop 40 is truly obscene and also incredibly telling. Given the people with all the money are the ones spending a shit ton of it to not contribute more to the state. They’d rather spend money on ads than have it go to social programs.

I think about this video a lot. And it feels particularly relevant this week. Daniel Sloss gives it straight: “Talk to you f*cking boys”.

I give zero shits if someone is sitting down while at their job. Like half the population already does. President Pedo himself can barely stand… or walk… or sit up straight… or stay awake.

That the phrase “what if it was your daughter/wife/sister/mother?” has to be used so often to induce empathy in a man is beyond insane. As if a woman is not a human being that deserves respect if they aren’t somehow connected to him. Infuriating.

What’s funny is that the female lions are the ones that do all the organizing, defending territory, and hunting. They take care of the pride while the male is just… kind of… there. Providing sperm and violence. So basically exactly like society.

The problem is not women and has never been. “Not all men”, but enough of them to band together and subjugate the entire population of another gender.

The fact that there are social media platforms where you can’t say the words rape or sexual assault without getting a strike or shadow banned is FUCKING INSANE. And par for the course with all this patriarchal bullshit.

If you haven’t yet read *Who Is Government?*, edited by Michael Lewis, I highly recommend. It is simultaneously incredibly inspiring and deeply depressing (due to the gutting of our civil service by the current moronic regime). Everyone should know what our unrecognized bureaucrats are capable of.

Possible controversial opinion: I think every single member of that Cornell frat group Snapchat message, whether they participated or not, should be named. It needs to follow them for the rest of their life. They either knew what was happening, or found out afterwards, and DID NOTHING.

Uh huh. Sure. Because ICE agents are notoriously reliable sources. I genuinely feel like we need a new term for federal prosecutors. They don’t represent us, they represent the orange oligarch. So maybe Senile Satan’s Solicitors? Or President’s Pet Prosecutors? I’m open to suggestions.

The fact that there are immigrant children, as young as toddlers, standing alone in immigration courts with no representation ENRAGES me. If the judges that are presiding over these cases still think they are on the side of justice they are absolutely delusional.

Just went to my first Bay FC soccer game. Gotta say, the vibes were on point. Side note: love that the billboard for “ally” is directly below the flag supporting trans people in sports. A true *chef’s kiss* in positioning.
A close up of a goal on a soccer field with a female goalie running to get a ball. Two flags are visible behind the net. One says “Trans people belong everywhere” and another says “Trans people belong in sports”. Both feature the blue, pink, and white of the trans flag. Below the second one mentioned there is (appropriately positioned) a billboard ad for ally.

I’ve posted this before, but I’m going to say it again: I think it’s time for all the various unions within the entertainment industry to band together and refuse to work for Paramount/WB until that anti-trust behemoth is disbanded and the Ellisons are completely divested from the industry.

It’s the “takes every question” and “answers them all” that seriously pisses me off. Not sure aggressively yelling “quiet piggy” at a reporter counts as an answer. Nor the other myriad of ways he’s insulted instead of addressing the actual question.

It’s the “what is happening in Gaza” that gets me. The passivity of it is infuriating. Like it’s not a specific country completely and actively decimating a civilian populace of another, many of whom are children. Where did that $2M donation go, Ed? Did it go to Palestinian aid or elsewhere? 🤔

Happy Caturday to all those who appreciate the aliens we have brought into our homes. *Please ignore the empty ice cream container in the bottom right. It’s been a rough week, month, couple of years.
Close up photo of the face of a cat napping on a lap. His eyes are closed, mouth slightly open, ears a turned a bit back, and whiskers are prominently visible. Pasty white leg wearing a purple sock belonging to the aforementioned lap is visible behind the right shoulder of cat. There may or may not be an empty carton of Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter ice cream visible in the bottom right corner of the photo behind the left shoulder of the cat.
