yeah the jokes were already pre-written and delivered. there was no commentary to make. no twists or turns to point out the absurdity as the real news was already bonkers

look for elca run soup kitchens, as well as anything run by a local community action center. avoid the salvation army and anything run by any church you already know to be trouble. if you do go, spread counter propaganda to their misinterpretations of the bible: come prepared

Opt out of as much of their levers of power as you can. Deny them your eyes and your money. Use your eyes to look around you and see where you can push counter propaganda in your local community. Use your money to help the people you are in community with. The christo-fascists use money to "help" the homeless with soup kitchens that force people to renounce what they know to be true before being served. Mutual aid is not just about harm reduction, it's about freeing minds. Serving someone food is an act of liberation. It's an act of a true and powerful love that's been written about by theorists and philosophers for millennia. It's even at the core of who Jesus was at his core, it's just the christo-fascists misinterpret which group of people in revelations they are

he only values personal loyalty to him because he is a dangerous fascist

apathetic white folk are apathetic because no one taught them fascism is real and enduring. black diasporas to urban centers and white flight to the suburbs have created an environment where they don't understand that the consequences of what is happening are real. it's not some made up shit. the constant stream of right wing media doesn't feel right wing to them. it feels like the truth. it is the truth they know. right now, we need to reach them. we need to break containment of our media bubbles and reach show them we exist, and we fear them, before we lose the chance to do so. and we can't do it through our screens. we're going to have to take to the streets and show them the truth. if you're a white man and you feel how i do right now, start paying attention in public spaces: where are the security cameras. where do the police frequently hang out. what are the movements around you. get that info to people with less privilege than you. pay attention to street art. where does it stay up long term, where does it get taken down fast? is there a difference depending on the kind of street art it is?

and the former kings of tuning the algorithms to favor seo that bubbled useful info up harder have thrown it all out in the name of impressing everyone with how space age and sci fi their tech is. it's not about advancing science or even pushing a useful product. it's strictly a tool for scams. is it a surprise that scammers are gaming the google scam better than anyone else? not really. they've always had a step up compared to the average internet denizen thanks to practice. this is why i get so frustrated when people dismiss ai skepticism as being a product of luddites.

1. you're getting scammed to think ai will benefit you
2. systems built by scammers will always benefit scammers
3. the luddites were right. scientific advancements should benefit the workers, not the rich

he's not a vp candidate, he's on several ballots as full on p candidate, and is lined up for a cabinet position if donald trump wins

he promises a tax plan that will not materially improve things for you or i and a reduction in the things that taxes go towards that benefit us

even so, these are people who are realizing it isn't a valuable publication tuning out because this isn't when he got what we wanted. he got that a while ago

the electoral college values different things than the will of the populace

virginia doesn't allow for gubinatorial re-election. it will have to be either a new shit nibble or a sane replacement
