They've made it clear that their accumulation of wealth (and the attendant degradation of democracy) only works in one direction. If it moves even an inch the other way, they blow the whole thing up and inaugurate fascism. Completely untenable 161528292 1.5K

Burger Bender (Bargain Blender) @strumphs.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I always say some version of "if your vote didn't matter, they wouldn't spend so much trying to buy it." Even if your state always votes one way on most things, not all races are pre-ordained (especially this year), and if nothing else you should vote to send a message. 010 1

Burger Bender (Bargain Blender) @strumphs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026When I read "lactose intolerant" in the commentary, it took me half a second to figure out what that was about.

Burger Bender (Bargain Blender) @strumphs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I think it also depends how long you knew their old name, and I've found that remembering new pronouns is a lot harder than remembering a new name, but the point is to try.

Burger Bender (Bargain Blender) @strumphs.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It's like the thing about Religions being cults that lasted. Every modern-day religion is a verifiable con, but after long enough they become more or less legit. In the same way, fiction created in our lifetimes is just a story; after 100 years it's tradition, and after 1000 it's legend. 000 0

Burger Bender (Bargain Blender) @strumphs.bsky.social · 14/09/2026There are SO many "science explainer" YouTube channels with stick-figure graphics that are AI ripoffs of some OG explainer channel, it's not "uncanny" enough to be obvious other than that there are just so many of them. So yeah, making it look amateur on purpose is a sneaky move. 120 2

Burger Bender (Bargain Blender) @strumphs.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Agnostic vs Gnostic is a different axis than Atheist vs Theist. I'm atheist (literally "without a god") but also agnostic (no one can be 100% sure there's no god [or equivalent] even though it sure seems that way).

That guy was imprisoned for 10 years. 12742241 742
