Oh wow, that brought me through a wormhole to the past.

That’s fascinating!

From there it just talks about a lot of things we could do with a fraction of the wealth of the wealthiest 400 Americans. Things like ending homelessness in America, ending malaria worldwide, and many others. By mildly inconveniencing 400 people, who would still all be absurdly wealthy billionaires even if 60% of their wealth were taken, we could dramatically improve the world.

Stop demonizing your neighbor. Demonize the 1%.

Even more than the 1%, the 0.0001%. An excellent resource to illustrate this point:

Wealth Shown to Scale

I feel like everyone should go through this at least once. It’s eye-opening. Even people who we generally think of as crazy rich, like the average hedge fund manager, are just a drop of water in a pond compared to the ultra-wealthy.

my wife threatened divorce if I “cluttered” our house with all the books.

Storms, that would drive me nuts. Then again, I don’t have 1800 books. 😅

Only 4 inches? Look at mister monster cock over here.

Thus far a rather uninspiring thing.

the thing is, most people don’t. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn’t be like that if it wasn’t making them tons of money.

False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.

There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.

That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.

Yes because it makes you worse at finding and disposing of those damn stink bugs, whose stink smells vaguely like how soapy cilantro tastes because of aldehydes.

I can only hope the changing mating habit is that they’ve all stopped mating. I hate those damn bugs.

They’re invasive where I live, and it seems like they don’t really have predators. And they’re so damn loud when they fly around inside your house. And they smell awful if you startle them or squish them. Only thing I can do is catch them in a cup and flush them down the toilet.

Being from Oz

Did the Wicked movie get the look right? It seems like a fun place apart from all the fascism.

Feels like beating a dead horse.

At least that horse won’t have parasites with all the ivermectin RFK Jr. is going to feed it.

Some have a difficult time understanding when they are being made a fool of.

No offense, but I feel like this sort of also applies to you here, too.

Depends. Is there a McElroy brother nearby? Awesome. No? Hmm. Not as sure.

Woof, that sucks.

The church I grew up in, which has a very “high church” liturgical style, just accepts that children make sound. There’s always a constant low-volume noise from anll the kids and people just ignore it. After all, Christ said, “Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Church shouldn’t be about rigidity or the appearance of perfection, it flies in the face of the core of the Christian religion. But I don’t think most Christians really think about their faith in living terms, they think about the trappings and appearance and going through the proper motions (as is evidenced by the evangelicals flocking to hate-filled shysters like Trump).

While there is certainly spiritual value in the ritual, it cannot be at the expense of the meaning. All rigidity does is make church suck.

Okay, I think what I’ve learned today is that I now need both a sticker of a werewolf tearing its shirt off and screaming “I VOTED!” and a democracy sausage.

The world is such a delightful place sometimes.

You’re just jealous you didn’t get the awesome stickers Michigan did this year.

Harris lost Michigan by fewer votes than the number of people who voted “uncommitted” in the primary.

I don’t think the lesson here is to be more moderate or more conservative.

Yeah, you think you’re hot shit as a tiger and then here comes a Hellwasp…
