In memory of my beloved Bailey
He left this earth far too soon
The cancer won two years ago today
The waves of grief never stop do they? 😢
Earth: we're going into the sixth mass extinction, but first here's some fascism to go with your climate catastrophe
World Powers: women aren't having enough babies, we must panic and force them to
Women: get the fuck outta my womb you absolute stains on humanity
World Power: did you hear something
World Power #2: no I did not
Earth: ***explodes in a cascade of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, polar vortices, heat domes, atmospheric rivers, monsoons, and bomb cyclones***
World Powers: this is fine.
Women: see? why would we have kids??? the fuck is wrong with you
Earth: all you fuckers, get off me ***9.1 quake in subduction zone***
Mars: ew, look, Earth has fleas
Earth: they're not fleas!
Venus: those aren't fleas, those are lice. I had 'em once.
Earth: they're not lice!
Mars: EWWWW LICE???? wait, can lice jump between planets? is Earth shaking off lice and flinging them to me??? oh god ewwww get them off
Venus: EWWWWW IT'S LICE
Earth: STOP SAYING LICE!!!!!!
thinking of the scene in Schitt’s Creek where Stevie puts up the “back in 15 minutes” sign and Johnny says “it’s gonna take longer than 15 minutes” and Stevie’s reply is one of the truest statements ever uttered by a human:
“You have to give people hope.”
Low flying helicopters circling again
What the fuck is happening
“You speak English so good!”
“…..I speak it well, yes. It is my native tongue. What’s your excuse?”
—a conversation that never happened
Nothing quite like skipping breakfast and coffee to have a serious two-hour conversation with someone, only to have them immediately say and do things that showed that everything I’d said had fallen on deaf ears.
Why do I bother.
The scenes in Back to the Future Part II when Biff tells Marty how he got the Sports Almanac…
The casino. The gaudy gold. The womanizing. The robe. The cigar. The combover. The wall safe behind a portrait of himself. The gun.
“Kid, I own the police!”
Clearly we are in the alternate 2025 that is the future of timeline 1985A. Nothing hovers is all. We wasted all that hover tech on AI I guess.
It really is chilling 😕
