I’ll also bet that people who get pedantic over decimate will also use “myriad” as an uncountable noun instead of meaning precisely 10,000, which it used to mean.

speed, some guy called “Squigz” who you can find under the bridge after 10pm every night.

a theoretical degree in physics

fair, I guess my point then is that this presidency is not an outlier

Slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, Trail of Tears, Tuskegee, MKULTRA, Watergate, DARE, Manhattan Project domestic testing; during prohibition, on Christmas no less, they poisoned alcohol killing thousands… the list goes on.

needs 51* stars too

It’s never left me remembering how much hate i saw Kossovo refugees getting in the UK in the 90s. People fleeing a massacre, mass graves, land mines, blitzkrieg, rape as a weapon of war - only to be treated like scum by the average Joe.

I’d say that Springer was influenced by Oprah Winfrey, whose show about abuse, neglect, crime and vice was influenced by her harrowing childhood, a product of racism, and capitalist-induced poverty.

I mean I’m thinking more of Pullman when I listed it - extremely dictatorial governance about what you can buy, where you can live, what religion you can practice and full control over the economic microcosm to the point where people cannot leave because they are paid in scrip, and civil disobedience was punishable by death

I mean to an outsider- the Red, Pink Lavender, Scares, McCarthyism, slavery, war on drugs, terrorism, citizens united, world police, Vietnam, jim crow/segregation, prohibition, womens suffrage, strikebreaking, company towns… are all examples of freedoms being restricted by the government and applauded by the press and culture at large at the time, and later reflected on as a terrible thing.

Civil Disobedience has always been anti-American.

little something called Belusconi also ring a bell?

no the joke is I like something that smells debateably awful.

I can’t even smell the stuff it’s horrible.

And I drink Laphroaig neat.

often these fucks do work 60–100 hour weeks because they are soulless, friendless, loveless, hobbyless people with no interior life or social life.

I was driving a friend to a party the other day and out of instinct flipped off a Cybertruck and the friend was shocked. I hadn’t even realized I’d done it.

the British robot wars was better because Craig Charles is a fucking legend

and Trump has been in power 40 days lol. A little over a month. Not even 3% of his term.
