Trying to have a cute homoerotic sword duel with my narrative foil but she refuses to engage with any of my banter and just goes for the kill shot every time
Part of me is starting to wonder if she wants to actually just kill me

Here's a source for the analysis, but it probably is not the source.
Workersā share of US economic output has fallen to its lowest level since the government began keeping records in 1947, according to data th
Some points of interest:
Corporate profits are soaring. After taxes, they now take 12.3 percent of national output, far above their postwar average of 7.3 percent.
Adjusted for inflation, hourly wages have risen 3 percent since the end of 2019, Ip noted. Corporate profits over the same period have risen 50 percent.
The Economic Policy Institute calculates that since 1979 the productivity of American workers has grown 90 percent while the pay of the typical worker has grown 33 percent. Had wages tracked output, the average worker would earn $16.40 more an hour today.
The profits are concentrated among the largest corporations. Earnings at the 500 biggest US firms rose 28 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier, the fastest pace since 2021, and their profit margins reached 14.8 percent. The seven technology giants known as the āMagnificent 7āāApple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Teslaāgrew their profits 63 percent.
In the United States, the richest 1 percent of households hold 31.7 percent of all wealth. The bottom half hold barely 2.5 percent.

āThe Militarization of the Police Department ā Deadly Farce,ā an original painting by Richard Williams fromĀ āThe 20 Dumbest People, Events, and Things of 2014ā³ in Mad magazine #531, published by DC Comics, February 2015.
Hereās the original, for comparison. And hereās a bit more about the artist and why he created the piece above for MAD Magazine.
Richard Williams on Norman Rockwell:
āFor most people, he was the painter of āAmerica,āā he added. āBut even he said his vision was what he wanted āAmericaā to be. It was a mythical āAmerica,ā a place where all people were decent, honest and full of good will. His work was full of gentle humor that made you feel a little better; even if you knew it wasnāt really trueā¦ you just wished it was. My parody of Rockwellās painting simply says, āThat myth is dead.āā
I think itās relevant to add that even Norman Rockwell chose to leave his cushy job at the Saturday Evening Post because he wanted to make artwork that was more radical. The Post had rules that wouldnāt allow him to do artwork depicting black people as anything other than servants. The job paid really well and that was a huge reason he continued on. But he wanted change that and so he moved to Look magazine.
A lot of people know about the very first piece he did when he left the post which was the The Problem We All Live With which depicts Ruby Bridges walking to school under federal protection.
But I donāt think enough people know about Murder in Mississippi which depicts three real civil rights activists who were murdered by the Ku Klux Klan and sherriffs. The magazine ran the sketch instead of the finished piece because they felt it had a more striking statement to accompany the article. Norman Rockwell would finish that version after publication which is here
Rockwellās legacy is sanitized because he decided to maintain his job at the Post for so long despite his frustrations with not being able to express himself. The civil rights movement was just his final straw to change what he could with the little time he had left. Look magazine received a lot of hate for Rockwell painting these as well.
Another favorite piece of mine is The Right to Know which depicts an integrated populace questioning their government. In 1968, the year of Vietnam and the year the Fair Housing Act only just got signed in months prior:
But I think itās important to include the caption Rockwell originally wrote for the piece as well. I think it represents how a 74 year old Rockwell felt about the America he believed in and the people in it:
We are the governed, but we govern too. Assume our love of country, for it is only the simplest of self-love. Worry little about our strength, for we have our history to show for it. And because we are strong, there are others who have hope. But watch us more closely from now on, for those of us who stand here mean to watch those we put in the seats of power. And listen to us, you who lead, for we are listening harder for the truth that you have not always offered us. Your voice must be ours, and ours speaks of cities that are not safe, and of wars we do not want, of poor in a land of plenty, and of a world that will not take the shape our arms would give it. We are not fierce, and the truth will not frighten us. Trust us, for we have given you our trust. We are the governed, remember, but we govern too.
Iād just like to briefly say even Rockwellās seemingly feel good Americana pieces are often more political than people today realize for example
likely the most famous picture of a Thanksgiving dinner ever painted and you see it all the time.
What you may not know is its actual title
āFreedom From Wantā itās a part of a series of 4, including this now famous meme
āFreedom of Speechā These paintings were illustrations of FDRās āFour Freedomsā speech where The President laid out a vision that would become what the Allies were fighting for in WWII universal human rights that became a part of the UN charter.
So this homey American Thanksgiving scene was also a bold statement that no one in the world should go hungry
Rockwellās work was very political, he used that Americana small town America vibe of his work to make what he was saying feel very close to the viewers he was trying to reach and also his optimism of the human spirt but for sure not blind to the need to build a better world.
Finally got a clear shot of noonoo carrying her spring, it's her favourite toy
noonooā¦.
Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).
When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".
When the boat is still being built, your say "it".
When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".
When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".
When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.
If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").
If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")
If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").
If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.
If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.
I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
Hit "view post" and lost it
"So should I use Google Docs or should I just kill myself instead..?"
Shoutout to my partner for saying one of the funniest things I've heard in the best way possible..if I tried to explain.. no.
Unfortunately were gonna have to start killing men. transition or else
Obviously fighting with a pedo fetish blog is not a good use of my time but itās funny how posts like this either indicate that āmenā refers only to cisgender men or that transgender men need to detransition. Normally I would not argue with someone who makes posts geared towards sex and not towards intellectual discussions but she tries to do both so I think itās fair game
You're right a trans womans blog is a pedo fetish blog and i definitely want to detransition trans men. You're so unbigoted and a good person
Androcide isn't a fucking joke.
Oh my goddddd where are you cunts coming from who cares you're right it was a joke before but not anymore because you were annoying assholes i'm gonna start killing for real
listen buster men's oppression is VERY SERUOUS
ANDROCIDE..........
its so hard being a useless slimy little slug waiting for my beautiful princess wife to be done role playing for class/work training š«š«š«š«š«š«š«š«š«
Stop playing games, stop watching movies, stop following football matches, stop listening to music... Leave them alone, even if only for a minute. Sit with yourselves for a minute and think carefully: Do we deserve to die? Do we deserve to live this life? If the answer is no, then do something for us. Either donate, participate, or do anything that makes us feel that you are with us and not leaving us alone in front of the genocidal criminals.
I am a person who wants to complete my education, and my life is very similar to yours. The difference is that I was born in Gaza, so I need you to contribute in any way so that I can live a safe life and protect myself and my family from death and malnutrition. I should not die at the hands of the Zionists. Please stand by me.

This the report that JK Rowing doesn't want you to see. This report scares her so much that she is trying to destroy Amnesty International, a human rights organization, to stop you reading it:
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their fundin
(Amnesty already pulled the report because of JKR's threats. Of course that didn't and won't stop her - capitulating to fascists and bigots is never the answer. Alejandra captured the report and posted it, so you can read what JKR doesn't want you to know.)
Bluesky thread is a lot of screenshots (which I find impossible to cope with), but if you scroll far enough down, there's a link to the full pdf:
My good folks? Please stop reblogging this with incitements to violence. If you do, I will assume you are a terf fedposting, and report and block you as such.

straight men enduring 24/7 sexual assault each other in order to not be labeled faggots is honestly the best example of how masculinity operates. the other day before work a coworker fr shoved a finger in another coworker's ass (above pants) as one of their little "ha ha you're gay" jokes. fuck is wrong with them. equal parts disgusted and fascinated by their behaviour.
of course these people are fucked up and unable to hold healthy relationships grounded in mutual respect! they're constantly assaulting and being assaulted by their friends just to Not Be Gay/Like A Girl!!!
the biggest reason men refuse to recognize a lot of what they do to women as sexual harassment/assault is bc of their misogyny and wanting to maintain our power over women, 100%. BUT can i just point out that maybe a smaller but not-insignificant reason might also be that they can't even recognize sexual assault when other men do it to them???? i didn't tell that coworker bc he's an asshole, but i have had to tell other guys at work "hey what they're doing to you is terrible and you shouldn't have to put up with it you know" which most of them hadn't ever been told before because """""roughhousing""""" is part of that "boys will be boys" thing that makes everyone ignore our abuse
"boys will be boys" okay well maybe boys should be shot
So this is what I've been saying..LMAO
