I stopped raking years ago, and have started seeing fireflies again.

My neighbours hate it, but honestly, I’ve never understood raking in the first place. It’s autumn, and leaves are natural. What’s with the obsession to make lawns look like artificial carpeted spaces?

The leaves look nice imo. Better than a scalped layer of dying grass.

It’s a good thing trump isn’t dumb enough to think US debt is easily solved by printing more money, right?

Wouldn’t that be crazy?

(I really hope this isn’t something he can actually do. It shouldn’t be possible, but neither should a lot of things he’s done.)

You sound like a fungi. How are you at subspace travel?

Oh shit, it’s the guy!

Depends.

Are we talking TOS? That was the aspic era. in TNG, though, I can see a capri sun style meat bag with a straw…

Thank you.

Quick tip: going old-school by calling and faxing are more disruptive to their business than emailing. There are free, anonymous, online faxing services, you don’t need to have a machine.

It’s not about making something useful. He and a few others are cloning everything any of their cult might use to further fence them in from external information and entertainment.

They’re having a harder time in entertainment, because artists tend to be more liberal, but they’re gaining ground there, too. After a certain point, they’ll just radically censor everything else.

He’s said some incredibly stupid things, but this is next level.

The hamster powering his brain is clearly just a rotting pile of sludge now. How can anyone look at this masterclass in utter ignorance and see anything other than a senile old fool who should be in a nursing home for his own protection?

Nearly 80% of republicans think this is okay? What wouldn’t they think is okay from him? It seems they’d be fine with his actual corpse being wheeled round on a trolley by Vance & co. Astounding.

Oh, some of us know. And some of us are sick of the edging.

We’re going there, inexorably. They’re trying to pretend that’s not what’s happening, and loads of people are happy to go along with it out of… denial? Blissful ignorance?

But some of us just wish they’d drop the fragments of their mask, already, so we can stop debating where we are in the 14 steps and just fucking deal with the problem.

It’s fine, we’re good. Sorry for coming out with the claws, I thought you were a MAGA troll. I also shouldn’t post drunk.

Fucking do it, pussy. Let’s see the backlash.

I could give you diarrhoea, or sepsis, or tetanus, your choice! I’m flexible and I don’t judge. I just love being inside you!

Trump humiliates everyone behind closed doors. Most of all, himself. And also with open doors. And stairs, and windows, and on the roof.

Trump is humiliation personified.

Sambo’s managed to barely survive until 2020.

Where was my assumption, friend?

Was it not a right wing org, or did they not defraud people? Because both were made pretty clear in the article.

Point to where my comment touched you.

Okay. Sure, my entire life on this planet and all of my lived experience is ‘culture wars’.

Believe what you like, I’ll not stop you.

This isn’t ‘culture wars’ – whatever that even means here. It’s me talking to you. Being reductionist only makes you seem pithy, which is actually rather sad.

We’re probably done here, if you can’t even have a conversation without resorting to catch phrases.

No one gives a fuck that youre a woman.

Bullshit.

You don’t, but you’re not everyone.

A massive part of understanding the world is understanding that you’re not everyone. My entire career has been to understand other people, and step 1 is to realise that you are not everyone. It’s very counterintuitive for most of us, but also very necessary if you hope to understand things.

I am not everyone, and I am not speaking for myself here. If the world were me, I’d 100% say AOC could win. I’d fucking love that.

But I am not the world.

It’s the human way of things.

DNC or not, even if they were as perfect as you’d like them to be, trying to unite people on the left is like herding cats.

Have you tried having discussions with multiple people on the left? I’ll bet you have, and I’ll bet you’ve been frustrated.

The problem with any of left of centre is that we believe in things and aren’t a flock of sheep. That’s good, but also politically very bad for us.

They have their genitals deep in Israel.

I’m not joking, and thanks.
