Prometheus was excellent. I was literally so stoked about the new direction Alien was going in, and it’s execution, but Scott got freaked out by some bad reviews, pussied out, and in his cowardice undid and killed off all the parts of Prometheus which were so promising. Covenant which was dogshit. Romulus, dogshit on a cracker.

The internet in the united states you’re using right now, is going to be unrecognizable in the next 12 months, all free services will charge, cost for access will increase, speed will be symied, vpn usage will be curtailed, and archive, library, and pirate sites will be blocked.

We just re-elected a fascist tyrant who wants to close as many avenues of education and free speech which can be used to educate, organize, and publish against him as he possibly can, as well as funnel as much cash to media and tech oligarchs to keep them onside, and now he’s got both the house and senate with which to do just that.

yes, because the point, as they were attempting to animate it for consumption, sucked shit. they missed to point of making an entertaining show.

showing what the disinformation is in service of, is what will get folks to march.

we’ve all be sold the assumption it’s for white christofascism, but you don’t put tulsi gabbard in charge of us intelligence, and make matt gaetz the ag, if you want a functioning christofascist state, you do it to take something while everyone is watching the government dissolve into bedlam in every area all the time

you drive a truck into the bank, to steal what’s inside, not manage the bank

protip: watch the movie The Good Shepherd , for a fictionalized version of the society which makes up their membership

hahahahahaha, way too late for that, i watched the first season, and all the characters moral base were so ugly their actions so contrived to ellicit a negative response, they got one from me, watched the first ep of the second season and that was it, just another over the top superhero show, trying to say something, and failing. sure lots of shoot em up and gore, a little sex, but overall forgettable as social genre commentary. at least for me. i did like Gen V, a lot a lot, I guess the reason for this disconnect is they wrote the kids likeable with some sort of moral center, even the bad one, and I understand that, that makes sens to me. Tragedy what happened Chance Perdomo, and hope the show is able to reground and continue. But The Boys, blech, you can have it.

And on January 26th, the bill will be read again, passed by both houses, and signed

For this news to have made it out of China, is a very big deal, but I wouldn’t believe the body count numbers, which are coming from official channels. If the CCP are saying 35 dead, it could be in the hundreds.

to answer this honestly more than dips the toe into racist stereotypes, and i’d like to have the honest conversation but will suffice to say, the guys i know (and this isn’t limited to that small group) appreciate strength, and a heavy hand from their government, almost above all other things.

it would have been advantageous for democrats to have pointed out that, by and large, the nations from which a majority have immigrated from, are corrupt, and dangerous to the point where a living wage is unattainable, and the organs of state either could not or would not keep them and their families safe.

that is what the united states can offer, with a government of by and for the people. now we fall considerably short of this, all the time, and have since the founding fathers, but we have an engine of economy, and relative comparative safety which continue to draw latino immigrants, legal and otherwise.

it’s in pointing out the benefits, of a free egalitarian secular representative accountable democracy, which drew they and their families here in the first place, and explain, in detail, how corruption that the MAGA world was threatening, and displayed during Trump’s first term, would destroy all that they had come to this country for in the first place.

yep, same, when the guys i work around told me that trump was going to win in 2016, i bet all of them 5 grand he wasn’t. i was positive clinton wasn’t going to let that happen. glad none of them took me up on it. didn’t make that bet this time around with anyone.

yes. agreed. though, once again, working in the community, really opened up my eyes to what a great many naturalized citizens feel is important to them. not all, of course, but it shocked the shit out of me, and no one would have believed it until after they voted.

*edit: it’s important to know what your constituency values, and if those things run counter to the basis of secular egalitarian representative democracy, change their minds. just saying well that’s stupid and self destructive to the whole, isn’t going to win their votes.

Tell me you haven’t spent much time in the naturalized Latino community, hanging out, asking them about where they came from, asking how they feel about illegal immigrants, without, you know, telling me.

After trump called every stripe of latino, rapists and murderers, and threatened mass deportations, out loud, and often, more latinos voted for donald trump in this election than have ever voted for any republican candidate in any american election before.

It’s deluded and destructive, but this is the reality on the ground.

knitting. he knits in private.

those bastards. this is the last straw.

It’s The Religion of Peace, you see, which in looking the other way, in no way infantilizes the entire culture, which is good, because they’re marrying the girl infants away

Trump’s goal is chaos. A Million Americans died from his inept and mismanaged Global Pandemic response the last go around, and loading up every Federal agency with chuckleheads who can only run them into the ground (health, defense, intelligence, finance), he’s gonna beat that first number handily. It’s literally going to be bedlam, everywhere, all the time, with no checks, no balances. In Capitalism, for someone to earn, labor must be taken advantage of. In this scenario, I don’t know how earnings can be created, when everyone is dying from something.

Tell me you don’t understand who Donald Trump is, and what’s about to happen in the United States, without, you know, telling me

no. that was 10 years ago. that is a child’s view now. trump is stacking every single fucking federal agency, health, defense, intelligence, finance, with morons who will run them all into the ground. his goal is chaos. there will be only 2 kind of people left in the united states in a few years : the very rich, and the dying.

it. is. the. end. of. everything. you. thought. america. was. everything.

lol. The OG Bible, you mean The Torah, Jesus isn’t even in that one.
