Also a fair point.

I mean, we've seen who this country elected over the course of the last 30 years. We know this kind of history just puts people to sleep.

I wish I had a library like that.

It's not trolling. It's history.

After the '94 Crime Bill, you can't blame Biden. He's done everything he possibly could to fill those prisons.

It's astonishing.

The capitalists know full well we're more productive working remotely, but their need for control has proven to be stronger than their insatiable greed anyway.

I wish our schools did a better job teaching about resistance movements. Here in the US most people don't know about the Battle of Blair Mountain, for example, even though it was the largest armed resistance action here since the US Civil War.

But if you know what the BoBM is, you know why it isn't taught, for the same reason churches don't teach what the Bible says about usury.

It's been interesting this last week watching liberal people complain about age verification laws that don't even exist yet, as if it isn't an eminently good thing to keep social media out of the hands of kids.

Motherfuckers all.

But do yourself a favor and read up on the Polish Resistance. Those were some seriously metal sons of bitches.

And for those of you who don't like reading history: Imagine watching 50-100 of your friends getting summarily executed every day, and it doesn't make you afraid to stop killing Nazis. It makes you even more emboldened, and that's exactly what you do. You exist to make them afraid to walk the streets.

You're not wrong.

The only time we see Democrats pretend to be leftist is when they have no meaningful power to enact change. They're conservatives in sheep's clothing.

I mean, 99% of voters pick capitalists every single time, and then clutch their pearls when capitalist things happen.

On the plus side, it's still possible to do good things on the local level. (For now.)

 

Just another example of something that could be universal if we taxed the rich appropriately.

 

FLINT—Eight days after entering the world, Khi’Meir Taylor made another debut — this time in what could be a national spotlight.

Wednesday was the first day of a $55 million experiment to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty.

At least, she is in her own little world. :)

 

I just thought it would be cool to put this out there. The Satellites featured several local skaters from Fountain City Roller Derby: Tiff (a former Team USA skater), Mel Malice, Aneeda Hurtcha, Annie Maul, and Queen of Hurts. As if that wasn't cool enough, Olympic Gold Medalist Erin Jackson was also skating for the Satellites.

Pretty. Effing. Rad.

Hola Kansas City. This week is game one of all-gender season at Fountain City Roller Derby. Here are the details:

Personally, my favorite is the Viking of Stamford Bridge. The thought that one man taking out 40 English soldiers and completely altering history in one epic fight is just awesome, and no one recorded his name.

They just gave him a kickass title instead.

Awesome.

 

This is the picture I like to show artists when they hate their stuff after a single layer of work, because I hate all of my stuff after a single layer of work, but it's important to remember it's a process.
