    Cool. Not for you then, eh?

    “Bakery down the road is closing” the person on the street corner says to anyone listening, “here are some alternatives”

    “I don’t eat baked goods, they’re bad for you” you reply

    “O- oh okay. Thanks for letting me know… I guess. Wasn’t really talking to you, then”






  • One of my special interests is humor (probably because of my difficulties with it) and I like to know why things work. If you can’t put it into words, that’s fine. It’s a fairly common response, to the point where “it isn’t funny if you have to explain it” is a common saying.

    Don’t tell people it’s not important if they ask. That just makes people feel excluded because it’s clearly important to them.








  • Project 2025 is now in play. Abortion ban, porn ban, removal of federal employees who aren’t “loyal” enough. The only saving grace is that Republicans can’t govern for shit, so there’s going to be a lot of wasted time on infighting. Not enough, though, since a lot of it can be pushed through by the president alone.

    Oh! And the oldest, most conservative SCOTUS justices will retire, solidifying the conservative super-majority on the court for the next 20-40 years. The only way to change that is to change the makeup of the court, which requires a trifecta. So yes, it isn’t the end of the world, but it isn’t “no big deal” either.

    In order to undo the damage, we have to fundamentally change the Democrat Party to be just as far left as the Republicans have moved right. And that took them over a decade to accomplish (and they have the easier task, since big business wants both parties to move right).
