I keep saying this. I have no idea, But I'm pretty sure I'm the only moderator left on the olicity subreddit, so if anybody gets to decide it's definitely me. So I say it's whatever Gail tells me it is.

It's also hilarious that he doesn't seem to know what the punishment for traitors is. There isn't one. Because that's not the name of a crime.

I've been blowing that horn from day 1. Sure, he's old and I'm sure he has bad days, but also he's always had a speech impediment and going out there without notes or flashcards had to be daunting as well, since those are really common aids.

So uh... anybody with a bigger megaphone than me want to help a butch out? The Gilbert Baker Foundation & CMG are asking a settlement from us for referring to the Gilbert Baker flag/original color scheme as the "Gilbert Baker flag" of twice what we've ever made from anything with those colors.

This 4th every time I hear fireworks going off, all I can think is, "oh, good. Glad that we've solved all our other problems and have cash to spare" I guess at least John Adams would be excited

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

I cannot stress enough that people with speech impediments often rely on prompts and notes to overcome that and that this is ableist trash.

Someone came back with, "the majority justices are legal experts, too, you can't just listen to one side" and like .... sure, but you'll note that they're not contradicting any of this. they're not saying its false, just that it's desirable. So fuck them and their expertise.

Look, I didn't know that was an option. I actually sort of like biden as a president, but I think i might vote for a cat over him all things being equal. Cats are pretty good. (but not but my friend Jake's cat because she tried to kill me)

Yup. I get the frustration and rage, but if he did that, he wouldn't be a guy worthy of anyone's vote. Turns out that no matter how loudly the Internet claims otherwise, there IS a difference.

Reminds me of when I saw my first trailer for Edward Scissor Hands. I was delirious with fever and sleeping on a pull out sofa in the living room. I was sure it had been a fever dream till a month later when I saw another ad and lost my mind.

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

I'd love to say these people can get fucked, but I don't even have the energy left. This was painfully transparent. And this is just the beginning. I don't even think this was their end goal, I just think this is a fun road stop on the cruelty train.

That was the topic of the day. There's not a lot of places to go. Fascism is on the rise everywhere. I don't know if I should go and take my chances someplace else with slightly fewer problems or just ride out this shit hole.

Never let anyone tell you that the assholes in the Supreme Court are originalists ever again. Those shitheads just celebrated Independence Day by making the president a fucking King.

That doesn't change just because I happen to be more or less okay with the guy in power or because he hasn't used that authoritarian power. Once you fuck a chicken, you're a chicken fucker. It doesn't matter if your dick is in poultry right now or not.

Now that I've had a little down from the supreme Court ruling and can think about it rationally it's still the worst ruling I've ever seen in my entire life and we now live in an authoritarian state. We actually have since 2016.

I remember thinking that everything in those books was so incredibly detailed and original and then I learned about the British school system and realized that she just put the word wizard in front of actual things that already exist.

Don't get me wrong, In a better system and a better timeline, I don't think Biden would be running. But in that timeline, Trump wouldn't be running either. If the right was running someone less dangerous, I wonder if Biden wouldn't have stepped aside. But he already beat this guy once.

Yeah. There's a fine line between "she lived with lots of privilege and reacted worse as a result" and " plenty of privileged people don't turn into shitheads after trauma" and I think it's less about the privilege and more that they were just waiting for their moment to suck.

It's pretty easy to figure out what something is scientifically. It's pretty easy to figure out what something is culinarily. It is very difficult to square those two things.
