As the person this describes, go fuck yourself. Understanding that stuff should lead you to question the absolutely horrible decisions and ideas of those times, and make you strive to not repeat the same mistakes, which is the exact opposite of what you mean.

Well I liked when the girl was running around with the blood all on her face. Tight little tanktop on. Again she’s well into her thirties. Thirty two is the floor as far as that. Screaming like a banshee. Had just come across the remains of her buddies down in the cave there. Poor bastards. The one guy was in med school I guess. Seemed smart. Middle Eastern fella. And his husband too. That’s all fine with me by the way. I don’t care about that sort of thing. As long as they pay their fare share. 

And what is she running from?

You see that’s the thing. She isn’t even sure herself yet. And we can guess but we don’t know either. Maybe the old neighbor guy. Strikes you as a bit of an odd ball when you first meet him. Had all those dogs in the back. But that’s his property. The boyfriend character was a tad too handsome to be trustworthy now that you mention it. Didn’t seem to treat her very well. Listen to her about what she was going through. With her sick mother. I didn’t care for that. 

We’ve been doing too many abortions though. Under the last guy. And the lady they wanted next. Right up until birth. We stopped that.

What were you pointing to earlier when you said things have turned out to be a horror movie?

Well there's a drone shot overhead every time I step out my front door. I can hear the thing. The whirring of it. I can’t see it but you can suppose the shot they're getting is real symmetrical. Not like Wes Anderson no. How they fly over the pacific northwest and there’s a road going through all the trees. One lonesome little car winding along down in there. Everyone all goofing around in the car. Except for one of them maybe who senses something is off. A pretty young girl. Maybe her mother is sick. And so she’s stressed out about that. Naturally. Exact age that no one would be mad at you for thinking about her in a certain way. Let’s say thirty three. Heading to a vacation cabin or a big beautiful house on the ocean. No one around for miles and miles. No reception on the phones either. That’s how they get you. How they make it so the phones aren’t a solution. It would be too easy otherwise. Boop boop beep. Then the cops are there. Now picture the gal with blood all on her face. Running around in the woods. 

Also they let the Catholics get too much power. They should never have let that happen.

Nothing was beautiful and everything hurt
Nothing was beautiful and everything hurt 
Joyce Carol Oates was tearing into Elon Musk and we were all having a good laugh about that. Get his ass etc. The basic gist of it was something I've often said about politics-poisoned posting-addicts. People who have never not even once shared their enthusiasm for a band or a book they like or literally anything they might like at all if such a thing exists. The lamentations of their enemies does not count. 

There are so many people like that. Even people on your side.

Can you imagine – I don't know whatever asshole you're thinking of right now – posting a picture of the ocean or a beautiful landscape that they took? A big game hunting safari also does not count. Or about a movie that they enjoyed? In aesthetic terms I mean not as part of the culture war. 

One of the great pleasures in life is sharing something beautiful with others.
Sharing art isn't quite the same as creating it in the first place but it's akin to it in that you are making it exist for others who might not have known of it otherwise. You are also at the same time making yourself known. It's an act of kindness and generosity and vulnerability. Please look at a photograph of this rushing mountain stream I stumbled across on my hike. You can’t tell at first but if you look really closely I'm in there and so are you.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”

"Y'all don't understand. People fucking suck in my state. Which is why you have to suck too to get them to vote for you. They are too fucking stupid to ever want anything better. And they'll kill you for even trying. This is how it will always be."
That's how a lot of you sound right now with this "you have to win Republicans to be a Democrat shit."
"Try coming to where I'm from and inspire people. Just try it. They'll piss on you. No one wants anything good or decent where I'm from. No one wants someone to make things better. They want to die in the mud. They want to sink real slow into the mud until it's just their hat on top of it."
