Don’t threaten me with a good time
I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days
But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile. - Patrick O’Brien
We also do it to ourselves. Everyone has someone in their life they’d rather mute. But they’re forced to coexist with them. Online is so appealing because you can find communities of like minded individuals. Then forget all about those other opinions you don’t like.
Groups with just things we agree with wouldn’t explain it. What happens is we go into groups of people we agree with and then post memes about the other side that everyone agrees with. We get a caricature of the opposition that is reinforced.

I’ve given up on anything happening in the books ever again.

The bad news: Control involves pain, disappointment, frustration, anger, and a whole bunch of mental anguish that people who don’t pay attention to politics don’t have to deal with.
It’s okay because trying to blow up the building was an official act. The guys he appointed decided so.
Credit union gang where you at?
Prigozhin’s was pretty terrible
Found John Oliver’s fediverse account
If my kid spiked their hair and started living in a collective and spending their days doing direct action and mutual aid I’d be so fucking proud.
Oh man a version of Wolverines set in a city where punks fight the Russians would be awesome
In my head it’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter
I prefer driving smaller cars in heavy snow because they’re light enough to sit on top and not get bogged down. Back when I had a commute in my tiny little Scion xA I’d drive by bro-dozers and SUVs stuck in the snow thinking their four-wheel drive would save them from being idiots.
There are designs for a giant glass cone put in the middle of the desert. Air under the cone gets warmed and it rises up through a couple turbines on its way out of the device.
Meanwhile in Georgia (USA) they completed a new nuclear power plant and they have to raise rates because it went 100% over its $14 billion budget.
The Mongolian metal band The Hu fuse tradition instruments with metal styling and a badass attitude that Genghis would approve of
Also their name is great.
