  • Steps to become a billionaire:

    1. Abandon humanity
    2. Step-on children’s smiles
    3. Fund a feasibility study on turning poor into fuel
    4. Second study to prove those idiots in the first study wrong
    5. Replace gym equipment in second home with dogs you can kick and hit for exercise. The dogs must be trained service animals in active service to people who need them. You bankrupt those people at great personal expense and then you buy their dogs for pennies.
    6. Lunch
    7. Become billionaire
    8. Take cool pictures with swords. Don’t show nobody.
    9. Abandon humanity
    10. Something kardashian related



  • Ignore the reality all you want. The change is real, pronounced and the people around him are sounding the alarm

    “In May 2024, Fetterman chief of staff Adam Jentleson wrote Walter Reed Hospital director David Williamson a letter expressing concern over Fetterman’s mental health and alleged erratic behavior. Jentleson said that Fetterman engaged in “conspiratorial thinking”, “megalomania”, rambling monologues, reckless driving, and obvious lies, and was avoiding regular checkups with doctors and pushing away people responsible for helping him with his recovery plan.”

    Dude was planting community gardens, dedicating his life to children’s programs and telling trump to go fuck himself at every turn in calm clear and cohesive speech and now he’s erratic, laughing about Palestinian children being systemically killed in genocide and is often performatively the only Democratic senate vote on trump core issues.













  • Go look at the down votes on all your posts and just how universally unpopular your take is - That’s called being wrong. That’s fine, you can be wrong sometimes, that’s okay. It doesn’t define you, but stop digging in the wrong direction.

    I can pay for music, I often don’t on principal. I work to find other ways to contribute to artists as directly as I can (patreon, merch, shows, etc). I’m not alone in that. You had some weird guilt socialized into you that tells you your value is in what you spend and own. Protest at any level is valid. Copyright law is bullshit, DMCA takedowns are bullshit, DRM and digital streaming music that you never actually legally own is all bullshit. Anything you can do to make that broken system nervous or hurt is a great and valuable thing to broader society.

    You are unequivocally wrong here, you’re the last person to realize that, but you still can realize it here and now today and go forward from here. How about it, take the olive branch, bud?


  • It will be what we make it. For now, stop performing on social media though and try to listen and think a bit. We take in history and try to learn from it. That’s the first step.

    You’re scared, that’s fine. Take strength from knowing that this isn’t brand new. Doesn’t mean it’s easy or the good guys “win”, but means people have survived this before, fascist regimes have toppled, just not in the US yet. So we’ll see. We’ll hope there’s less death, less destruction, but there already is and will be some.

    It’s okay for you to be scared. There’s probably SOMETHING you can be doing to help though. Take some time and consider what that might be.
