You have died of dysentery
This is a longstanding fascination of mine; how mid-20th century science fiction created an extremely robust and durable vision of "the future" that people now take as true in a platonic sense, like it inevitably already exists in potentiality, and we're just waiting to discover it.
Yes, this:
"There's this idea that the future inevitably lies in space, that the future inevitably involves super-intelligent machines. There is nothing inevitable about those visions and a great deal of reason to doubt them."
There was a line from like a fired water quality or some other prosocial fed worker after she moved to dc for the job that'll stick with me forever because it captures america so well.
"I would be in a better position if I was a worse person."
A local friend commissioned me to paint the Marlboro man and Camel Joe making out in a dive bar. HELL YEAH!!
I was at a bar during open mic with a bunch of friends at an enormous table and this kid was hammering out a guitar cover of Back in Black with a tinny-ass practice amp hooked to his thigh. It took the kid like six minutes to get through it cos he kept making the Guitar Hero fuckup noises
Do you remember the hardest you've ever laughed at anything

Online dead-enders may take their resentments over 2024 holdouts to their graves, but I'm quite certain history will only record that U.S. support for Israeli genocide was bipartisan and enthusiastic, and nobody reading about it will be interested in awarding partial credit.
Despite it being an obvious certainty, it’s still pretty jarring to see how quickly liberals went from “shut up about Gaza” to “actually we were the only ones caring about Gaza”
The unbelievable evil that is celebrating a birth you believe of a superior race and ethnicity, by gleefully massacring babies of a race & ethnicity you deem inferior - it is beyond all definitions of evil recorded in our species' modern history. The very word "genocide" falls short.
Israeli soldiers held a “gender reveal party” by blowing up residential buildings in Gaza and using the explosion’s color to reveal the gender of a newborn Israeli baby.

It is so fucking grimly funny that he thinks the Calibri superimposed on the knuckles is real. The label above the photo is the same font in the same size!
A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here
Pierre's cooked. Eat shit doofus
I can remember being repeatedly told that *of course* the Biden admin was working for a ceasefire, and saying otherwise was crazy. I particularly recall being lectured about how they were wisely hugging the Israelis close, so they could restrain them if needed.
Canadian police are bizarrely opaque about everything in a "developing situation"

one of the tasks of the American left is to explain to retail and service workers that this is the future that America has planned for them
this is the only kind of guy they let be on the radio now
apparently pope francis wrote letters to joe biden urging him to end the war in gaza. this president put his zionism over the literal, ostensibly god-appointed leader of his faith
they made up a bunch of shit about jeremy corbyn being hitler 2 so they could have this guy instead
