I’m betting we’re about to see the Venezuelan political pendulum swing with the impertus of a howitzer shell towards fascism.

Implying it’s not already fascist?

I’ve seen you around and have a vaguely positive association with your username, take that as you will

Unexpected!

I recognize you!

I recognize you!

I know you for being both conscientious and fun 🙏

Also for having interesting experiences to share (though, as you note, everyone is a dog on the internet, dog)

Like seeing you around, can confirm; do like you for being here

Honestly, even moderating ~10 comms is a bit much. I couldn’t imagine doing 25, much less 125.

“I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us. GOD BLESS ALL SURVIVORS.”

Will she fight for them, or will her GOP affiliation win out?

That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. OnlyFans as-is struggles with accountability, appropriate age, and verifiable consent. Imagine that with a decentralized system of enforcement and accountability.

Perfection

Yeah, don’t fucking come here. Not now, not in the future. We can’t be trusted again for a very long time - longer than just an election or two.

Fantastic idea, I hope it becomes mainstream. I’ve been meaning to try plant-based meat alternatives for a while, for environmental reasons.

if Progressives are supposed to vote blue no matter who, then Centrists can too. If someone like Mamdani beats Newsom in the 2028 primary they can suck it up and vote for him.

They should. But like the many left-abstainers in 2024, it remains to be seen if they will.

If someone like Mamdani runs in the 2028 primary (Mamdani himself being sadly ineligible), they will have my general and primary vote. God forbid a shithead neolib like Newsom gets through.

But ‘Blue No Matter Who’ is an expression of desperation against the fascists in the GOP, not a magic formula, as much as we wish it was.

Backseat driver

Ramen. Spaghetti (sauce optional). Rice. Oatmeal.

Subbed. I used to love Men’s Lib on Reddit.

Peaceful protests won’t get rid of the regime. What they’re good for is connecting, organizing, demonstrating opposition is a viable size to uncertain bystanders who fear being part of a tiny minority and getting crushed, and generating enthusiasm for further, more ‘strategic’ work.

Oof ow ouch my old bones
