If biden's eyes flash white he's cheating by drawing on the millenia of knowledge from a Goa'uld parasite. If he insists on being addressed as "vice president who" he's cheating with a TARDIS or some psychic paper bullshit or that fancy techno wand that he pretends is a screwdriver.

Like, christianity in the US right now isn't dangerous because of the bible, it's because of how men like james dobson have twisted the bible to suit their biases and animosities. Ain't it pretty to think all it takes to improve oneself is to slap a big ol' atheist sticker on yer chest and grin knowingly at the rubes.

I think this is probably the year to hold your nose and vote blue. I can also see how being told this your whole adult life in less dire elections only to have dems create little change, incremental or otherwise, might have soured you on the notion at this point. I’m not telling you how to vote, I’m just acknowledging this part of the clusterfuck we’ve got ourselves into.

We alway talk about what happens when push comes to shove and this year is the year we found out and it’s not great. I mean, the meaning of that phrase is something like, “we’ll find out what you really believe when the situation isn’t so easy.” and it turns out what we really believe is kind of awful.

At this point I’m just curious how long this society lasts in it’s current configuration. If there are jobs available to be periodically frozen and unthawed to study happened while I was sleeping I’d really be into that. the other job I think I would do well at is exploring the galaxy in a living ship with only occasional reports back to a home I’m not sure still exists.

Honestly nothing predicts the future of this country like the “let’s burn down the observatory so this never happens again!” line from the simpsons. The same people who rolled coal and turned every appliance in their house on on earth day to stick it to the libs will absolutely be running you over in their cars as you protest the horrors of the world we and they built.

I love how all the tourist technology at camp cretaceous is like designed to offer humans to dinosaurs as snacks. How do you not have to reboot the jurassic park universe with every movie?

the pandemic and fires are bad and there are still good people out their at doing their best to keep us afloat with what the higher ups and psychopaths give us to work with. trying to stay positive while also recognizing so much is dogshit right now.

Great time for some kind of reformation of consciousness or humanitarian revival imo. it bugs me that the psychopaths continue to have the momentum.

some rando from my old life just tried some antifa fear mongering on fb. no thank you sir. everytime i peek back at what adventist culture is now I am more concerned. Too much fox news in the mix.

From that NYB article I RT earlier: "The word freedom is hypocritical when spoken by the people who create the conditions that leave us sick and powerless. If our federal government and our commercial medicine make us unhealthy, they are making us unfree." Also the description of the doctors and nurses as perpetucally distracted both by their own chaotic healthcare system and their goddamn phones is terrifying. One resident jumped when her phone rang in the middle of performing a spinal tap!

The Discovery season 3 trailer was interesting, I like the setting. Hopefully this is how the get some part of the federation founding principles right this time. like lower decks had an episode that was just “screw our ethics, just take care of business” and that didn’t give me a great deal of hope about where the franchise is heading.

I should rig it so when I open tweetdeck that old “stay a while, stay forever!” line from impossible mission plays. I was good at a lot of c64 games but I was total garbage at this one.

I non-ironically want more non-corporate communities to try this kind of thing. Why leave rethinking and reappropriating religious ritual to churches and corporations, especially when their specific offerings are so frequently hostile to the humans they ostensibly serve.

It reminds me of corporate cultures promoting meditation practices more as a numbing agent for all the ways their own work culture degrades the humanity of their employees. Why leave ourselves with such a poverty of choices for a genuinely fulfilling spiritual practice?

as a star trek nerd, I’m deeply offended that they called it “Operation: warp speed." lol, your platform is “whatever trump wants.”

I’m just starting this speech everyone is complaining is going on way too long so that’s something to look forward to. LOL, wild applause for “how can you lead this country while tearing down this country.” after days of attacking over half of america.

the specific problem with the police is they DON’T put themselves in harms way by shooting first. just no concept on the law and order side that a cop would ever break the law, lie, or in any way do wrong.

“biden is a manchurean candidate controlled by the radical left” is quite a thing to say on TV Night 4! Where’s the sake...

late as usual, but starting up the RNC night 3, fair warning. a little odd to call out SJW in prayer, but okay

I took a trip to get some sake and plum wine to get me through the rest of this. GOP rhetoric hasn’t changed in my lifetime regardless of facts on the ground though. One some level there’s no reason to watch this because it’s just all the old buzz words plus a few new, uglier ones.

oh my god this Haley speech. “we’re not racist” might be a hard sell the day after another public execution of a black man.
