It was call Why I Don't Vote and Neither Should You on the first iteration, then this, now it's Why I don't Vote because the guy who wrote it voted twice before 2018, both were not valid, wrote the op-ed, yes in 2018, then voted again in 2020 and 20200, votes counted, and then remade the bit in 2024

Alan Dean Foster never gets enough credit for (basically writing Star Wars into A Thing). His novelization is far better than the movie.

See, that's a problem for those of us in the south. Every rep I could call is firmly cultified, and unreachable. They have been unresponsive since about 2014, when they realized they could send all calls to VM and forget about 'em. "Call your Reps" only works if you have one.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

Gonna be a lot of dunking on this today, so as someone who wrote his dissertation on secession movements, let me point out: 1. This is not a majoritarian mvmt. Like 1861 secession in TX, it's a minority coup 2. It looks majoritarian bc of gerrymandering and disfranchisement (1/2)

*as patiently as possible* Guys can we all agree that venues need to cover PayPal fees? If my contract says $100, I should get $100, not $95. My accountant asks for receipts and I do not want him to bust my chops next year. Please do not make writers pay fees out of their payment! 😭

With good morning greets today, a lovely 256-colour VGA rendition from the 1995 Discworld game of the great A'Tuin, Disc-bearing turtle of the cosmos. Discworld is one of my favourite things, so I lapped up this game. Unlikely I ever completed it back then thanks to its mooniest of moon logic.

Folks, if you really want a viable 3rd party, vote that way in local and school board elections, not the presidential. Ralph Nader gave us GWB. Jill Stein gave us (and Putin) DJT. Please learn from that. RFK and his patrones are trying to get DJT in power. Full stop.
