This is an electoral map of the United States if only Democrats voted.

Something to think about…

Regarding politics especially, this may be my favorite tweet of all time:

[wrongkindoftumbler]

Born in the USA; Made in China

Well now class

Will ye settle down?

You’ve had your

Little excitement

From the bar fight

That spilled on

To the Senate floor.

Mad-fuckers and hot-heads

In rags stolen from the

Back of the Virgin Mary’s door

Liberty’s burning fire

Made into the

Most vapid of

Paltry peasant porn

Did you light the

Spark of revolution?

Is your nation

Renewed or

Was it stillborn?

It’s hardly Dresden,

Not even the

Hill at Calvary

Wolfe Tone is

nothing short of

disappointed

Robespierre looks on

In clear disgust

Bobby Sands is pishing himself

and his children are too

For all your talk of

streets of gold

You sit down to a

plate of rust

But still you cry

For love on high,

Of bells and freedom

And

The love of the God

You supposedly trust

I also do not know what Elon Musk meant when he told me to "try a google search."

The intellectual equivalent of ‘stop hitting me!’

The defintion of hell is knowing a show is incredibly well-received in its first season, but if people don’t become machines churning out tweets, content, and rewatching 24/7, there’s no likelihood it’ll get a chance to tell its whole story. This shit is madness. Shows in different genres shouldn’t have to pit-battle for dominance. First seasons are MEANT to be baselines establishing worlds and characters, not complete storylines. The idea that this golden age of television has turned into “get it done in one or get out” is revolting.

[dealanexmachina]

TV is supposed to be long form storytelling. We are supposed to take our time getting to know the characters. This whole “oh this season is really an 8hr movie” bullshit needs to go away. Movies are movies and television is televisions. There are pros and cons for each medium, and we need to keep leaning into the strengths of TV which is that we get filler eps and time to get to know characters slowly, over years. That is what makes it magical.

Shortened seasons fighting for their lives and getting axed because they aren’t instantly iconic is not how to develop a new generation of writing talent. This attitude of treating creatives as content creators is so fucking damaging on a fandom and industry level and I HATE it.

[wrongkindoftumbler]

Also, there should be known ‘commissioning editors’ who have never written something themselves. If you can’t write, then you have no place in the making of stories.

Hello Neil! I love your work and what you do

What's the funniest insult you ever got?

There was a Republican politician in Minnesota who called me a "pencil-necked weasel", and then his mother made him apologise.

[ytphobia-deactivated20210908]

corporations are actively convincing us the reason behind global warming is that you, personally, aren’t reusing your pasta water to make tea and eating the teabag for lunch #vegan and we just let them

[ytphobia-deactivated20210908]

no seriously the amount of ppl I see who are genuinely trying to do the right thing and who think global warming is their fault because they have a car or turn the fan on in the summer or eat a goddamn buger is astounding. people are truly brainwashed into thinking anything we do as citizens has an effect on the environment that’s somehow more important than the actions of corporations.

in 2020, when everyone was isolated at home, fossil co2 emissions in the US only dropped by 11%. think about how insane it is that when almost every person living in the second largest GEG emitter was at home for months, the effect they had was a reduction of barely 11%. and yet that fucking carbon footprint calculator is shoved down our throat all day long. a whole 4 years ago when that article came out saying only 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions, everybody just blinked and went “no, thank you. now have you bought enough metal straws?”

and i’m not even addressing the blatant racism, ableism and classism that coats every single one of these “personal responsibility” arguments.

The extent to which Americans are brainwashed is truly disturbing. 

Their culture of tipping and obsession with charity is further evidence.
