malatesting @malatesting.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Rousseau: Do you like cats? Boswell: No. Rousseau: I was sure of that. It is my test of character. There you have the despotic instinct of men. They do not like cats because the cat is free and will never consent to be a slave. He will do nothing to your order, as the other animals do. 1427

malatesting @malatesting.bsky.social · 28/04/2026its bleakly fun watching people come to the edge of the realization that they are the world's biggest dum-dum, and then for their ego defense mechanism to kick in to try to save face. shame about all of human society, though. 000

![wikipedia article on wheaton, showing it was founded in the mid 1800s:
“The Wheaton brothers arrived from Connecticut and in 1837, Warren L. Wheaton laid claim to 640 acres (260 ha) of land in the center of town. Jesse Wheaton later made claim to 300 acres (120 ha) of land just west of Warren's.[9][10] It was not long before other settlers from New England joined them in the community. In 1848, they gave the Galena and Chicago Union Railroad three miles (4.8 km) of right of way, upon which railroad officials named the depot Wheaton.[8][10] In 1850, ten blocks of land were platted and anyone who was willing to build immediately was granted free land. In 1853, the lots were surveyed and a formal plat for the community was filed with the county. The community was incorporated as a village on February 24, 1859, with Warren serving as its first president.[11] The village was later incorporated as a city on April 24, 1890, when the first mayor of the city was selected, Judge Elbert Gary, son of Erastus Gary and founder of Gary, Indiana.[11]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:th6jx4bf2e5iqfmwd35skmsd/bafkreibbuyx2r3zog7mskh2t5a3rakbveftitvx5hvvndwvzbukurz6exq)

michelle, 45, md. latina, republican, construction administration:
"I feel foolish. In a family full of Democrats, I really stood my ground twice to defend my stance. I feel like time and time again, all of the things that they pointed out would happen have ended up happening. And I looked dumb as hell believing in fairy tales and wishy-washy promises. I feel like if Trump would have approached the country and the problems that the nation has been having as passionately as he had his personal vendettas against Biden and those before and after him, he would have been an amazing president. I really did believe at one point that he was also a frustrated American who was so fed up he was going to make a world of difference."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:th6jx4bf2e5iqfmwd35skmsd/bafkreiba3uuk27dky2ijigqioy4yulzeho6lt677fj5g2y3mpylyfm6gbe)
