Despite the fact that the whole point of listing round numbers is to suggest that one has been selective, you're gonna LOVE my list of the (most I could think of count) (items) on (service) this (time period)!

I don't know who needs to hear this. But:
Unsolicited affirmations.
You.
Anything you don't like = bad and wrong
Anything you want = what you deserve
You are safe, little sweet, precious, fragile thing. Safe and warm here. But also strong and confident and indestructible and actually, unassailable. All at the same time.
And actually all the systems you exist in are bad and wrong, and here are some theory words about why knowing that fact makes you better than everyone else.

flexghost.The defamation lawsuit against Kari Lake can now move forward
A Maricopa County Superior Court Judge said it is clear that false claims made by Lake against a county recorder were not “mere rhetorical hyperbole’’
Rudy Giuliani got his ass cheeks clapped with a similar defamation case when after he ruined the lives of two election workers
And now Lake is about to get to the find out stage
… Merry Christmas, every-one!
HeavenlyPossumWhen I was in secondary school, we were taught a lesson on the geocentric model of the solar system. It felt like a waste of time then and it still feels like a waste of time; it would have been enough to explain that it didn’t work and that we’ve since moved on to better models.
But no, we had to draw the charts and calculate the orbits and do all sorts of tedious work, I guess so we’d learn just how much effort went into trying to save a broken model. Every fix and kludge they applied created new errors, which had to be fixed, which created new errors…
I think about that sometimes when I listen to capitalism’s proponents try to explain things like infinite growth on a finite planet or maximal economic freedom in a world of total private ownership. Just kludge after kludge forever.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Right wing media is again demonizing migrants and refugees for "having cell phones." Look ya'll—never take seriously those who ridicule migrants & refugees for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re refugees how did they get an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape violence, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.
The Gneech! Awww YeahI just saw “Gen X became 30 at age 10 and is still 30 at age 50” and wow, do I feel seen.
Which is a very strange feeling for a Gen Xer, just sayin’.
