Performative.

I ask myself this simple question: Are you making things better? I find meaning in helping others, and this is my guiding principle. I hope that when my time comes, I can say that I did make things better, that I did help others.

Is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead only for women?

Humans used to have a much more direct connection between what they did and their survival. Gather enough food and you won’t starve. Keep an eye out for other tribes/clans/families competing for the same resources and you don’t get killed. Processing TPS reports all day doesn’t seem like it does much of anything even though it gives you money. We’ve lost the connection and our brains can’t handle it.

Jimi Hendrix’s version of All Along The Watchtower by Bob Dylan. It’s likely to be the only version of the song most people have ever heard.

The canola oil I buy has rape seed in the ingredients. In very small type, of course.

Wait a week.

Literally, the opposite of what they should be doing. And saying Americans are too stupid to understand a word like “oligarchy” isn’t a good look, either.

Congress hasn’t passed much of anything lately. They just let Trump do his executive orders. But even if they felt like doing anything at all, the GOP has control and can count on a few Dems to follow along.

He’s dumber than most people can imagine. Jack, Ted, and Bobby might have been morally bankrupt but they weren’t stupid. Something went seriously wrong with this one.

The “intense anger” tells you this is absolutely the right thing to do.

Perfect.

Well, that settles that, doesn’t it?

SPOILER: It does not.

IIRC, people were slapping five (and then ten) in the 60s. As with a lot of cultural things, black people were doing it first.

It works for me.

We were halfway there a long time ago. Now we’re all the way there, with concentration camps and people being snatched off the streets by masked men. This is the kind of stuff we used to condemn (despite sometime clandestinely supporting in the name of “anti-communism”).

He knows the words.

Not to worry, he’ll just replace those expensive professional miners with free slave labor. Salvadoran gulags can only hold so many, after all.

Does anyone have the sound on these days? My volume is set to 0 most of the time, I have no idea what any of the sounds are now.
