The 10 Leftist Commandments
The 10 Leftist Commandments Inspired by a certain 50-going-on-13 “leftist” Queen of Social Justice Threads, who thinks she’s being oh-so-edgy sanctimonious “morally upstaaaaahnding” by calling Ka...
Voting | ContraPoints (incl. transcript)
Video originally posted October 19, 2020, and yet somehow even more applicable as of July 30th, 2024. Just replace “Joe Biden” with “Kamala Harris”, insert a 🤷 for the VP pick, replace “police br...
Originally written as a FO entry on April 23rd, 2024. Updated with some corrections, and expanded a little bit, in light of, well… //gestures wildly at everything// Also, I feel like this probabl...
I was wrong. (And I need naming help.)
We aren’t fucked. I was in a panic when I wrote my last post. That said, we’re not out of the woods yet. Like I said, the Democrats have my vote, whoever they pick (and they’d better fucking pick...
We're fucked. **ETA*** Fuck the tankies, too.
Biden is stepping aside and not seeking re-election. I’m trying to find a positive in this, and I can’t. Kamala Harris is a fine choice for President, and I’m voting straight Democrat no matter w...
Take your sanctimony and shove it.
People: Stop “both sides”-ing the Orange Shitgibbon’s assassination attempt. Fucking quit it. There is no “both sides here. And no, you are not some good, elevated human being when you simper abo...
Place yer bets!
I’ve got one month’s gross pay on “publicity stunt.” ETA And to every milquetoast Democrat out there saying that “political violence is un-American!” (Alt text: Bernie Sanders, “I am once again ...
We lost Larry Kramer too soon.
(Apologies for the video censoring the fuck bombs; it was the only one I could find with the full speech.) In this speech, Larry Kramer was talking about AIDS. It wouldn’t take much to alter thi...
Victory! (and why unions are necessary)
So, as I mentioned a few entries ago, I was told to RTO. For a little background: I work for the IRS in Vermont. I started on June 7th, 2021, and was remote until July 2022 because of COVID restr...
"nObOdY WaNtS tO wOrK AnYmOrE!" And here's why: Part 1
About a year ago, I saw a post from someone on this very site, who believes WFH is not only a net negative, but that we should abandon it completely in favor of working in the office full-time ag...
Because for the second time, I posted an entry (this time public) in which I briefly mentioned being Jewish-ish and made references to being anti-Zionist, and someone just had to pop in with (((D...
Patton Oswalt, “You Will Hate Your President”
”Anyone you vote for, into the White House, will eventually, during their presidency, do something that will make you, as a supporter, go ‘Eeeehhhhh…’ [noise of “how the actual fuck do I jus...
Too much bad in the world. Have some funny.
So, for the last few years, one of the hottest lost media searches has been for a song, originally called “Everyone Knows That”. In 2021, a user going by the name “Carl92” posted a slightly disto...
“Being well-meaning doesn’t shield you from being wrong…”
“…but being wrong doesn’t have to mark you as irredeemable. We can learn and grow.”
Yesterday, I deleted Threads from my phone. Again. Not because of anything major; if I can give it anything, it’s more chill than Xitter ever was. Except for two topics: JK Rowling and Harry Pott...
I'm just gonna leave this here...
The Contagion (survey-style!)
What size is your bed? Queen size, but when I moved to Burlington, my parents insisted on me getting a really thick mattress (they were paying for it). So it’s a queen size that’s, like, twelve i...
The cat's got the brain cell and the pigs are loose
To preface this: Since January 2022, I have lived in a tiny village (~1200 people total) in a rural part of Vermont. Up ‘til then, I’d lived either in large metro areas or near them. This is sign...
"Green Day went WOKE!" - The MAGA agenda
During a performance of “American Idiot” on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Billie Joe Armstrong changed the line “I’m not a part of the redneck agenda” to “I’m not a part of the MAGA agend...
And finding a Christmas tree
Yesterday, while I was getting my Christmas tree out of storage (read: the upstairs bedroom I don’t use for any other reason), I decided to let the bottom of it slide down my stairs, mainly becau...
Only the unloved hate
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We ...
Jean Twenge is a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad researcher.
ETA: Title change. And I, for one, am exhausted by the fact that she has designated herself The Voice Of Reason between Millennials and older generations. From the author of Generation Me: My Res...
Can someone be too old to hold office? That age-old question was front and center last week after awkward episodes from two of the oldest members of the U.S. Senate. On Wednesday, Sen. Mitch McCo...
Five (Plus) Songs Whenever: Patrotism? Don't know her.
As this post I shared on Facebook says: America was such bitch on Friday and now expects us to attend her birthday party on Tuesday? I don't think so, sweetie.— Sophie Vershbow (@svershbow) July ...
The Witch Trials of JK Rowling
The TL;DW version: “Convincing JK Rowling that trans people are valid/not dangerous perverts is non-productive. She is not the Main Character of Reality, whatever amount of main character energy...
