Sure, you can do that it, but it won’t take the idea any further than fanfic, which isn’t really what I want. If all I wanted was fanfic, I’d write it myself.

Shitty person continues being shitty and saying shitty things...why it’s almost as if the world is set up to reward and protect being a shitty person!

It’s not so much that I want to write fanfic (though I’ll admit to an instance of it that I’ve shared with exactly no one). It’s more that I wish I had the connections to pass along ideas to the people in charge, or those who operate in that space, and let them run with the ideas or not. I’m far less interested in…

Yup. Republicans are using the power of ‘guilty by association’ even though the ‘association’ they’re using isn’t just flimsy, it’s bullshit. But fearmongering is a time-honored tradition among conservatives. They know people in a place of fear do not think critically or rationally about what they’re being told. It…

I’m of the mind that *IF* a social media company/platform *CHOOSES* to ban someone, then unbanning that person is an act of implicit endorsement of that user, meaning the platform now assumes full liability for that user as well.

As long as being a shitty member of society is more ‘profitable’ than being a good one, corporations will ALWAYS trend towards being shittier and shittier members of society. The only way to fix that trend is to make being a shitty member of society untenably detrimental to those in charge of the corporations...which…

No. That was the only evidence actually connecting *HIM* to the crime.

The issue is not ‘wanting to work.’ It’s that the collective global economy is so hyper-focused on counterproductive things that force so many people into doing labor they don’t enjoy to make a living. People garden for a hobby. People write as a hobby. People create works of art (physical, digital, etc) as a hobby.…

NASA Space Nazi? Soooo...Elon Musk then?

When Cheatolini can lie through his teeth with every breath, day in day out, often about specific groups or individuals, causing demonstrable harm to the public at large, and never face any consequences for his actions, ‘defamation laws’ aren’t doing their job.

I’ll admit, it doesn’t bode well for America when *THIS* is the line in the sand where people might take a stand against abusive, anti-competitive ‘business’ practices...

Musk is doing a bang-up job of demonstrating to the public that Trump is not an aberration of wealthy people’s behavior. No, he is, in fact, pretty typical of that kind of person. *GOOD* people don’t get wealthy. They’re not selfish, greedy, and unscrupulous enough to achieve it. No, good people get *EXPLOITED* to…

Which is a nice reminder of just how widespread and significant the impacts of fossil-fuel-fueled climate change already is, even though this is little more than the catastrophe symphony tuning up. The real ‘music’ hasn’t even begun yet.

What point did you think you were making?? The only evidence in the case connecting the defendant to the crime of which he was convicted and executed was the eyewitness testimony of a traumatized woman who suffered a serious head injury.

As opposed to an honest assessment of what the “Ivy League” is really selling -- connections to the wealthy and influential American aristocracy. The quality of the education is entirely ancillary.

“... acting like AOC did something worth criticism.”

Anyone who has paid any attention to her media presence for at least the last 8 or so years has known as exactly what kind of arrogant, self-absorbed bigot she was. She made it plenty clear enough on many occasions that she was a grand example of an American Karen, like so many before her. Anyone voluntarily calling…

And that changes what in your mind? That we shouldn’t expect or hold our leaders to a higher standard than a street punk?

First of all, eyewitness testimony is literally the *LEAST* reliable evidence admissible in court, especially in cases like this, to the point that it shouldn’t even BE admissible in court. It is that bad. The brain, hopped up on adrenaline, is HORRIBLE at recalling specific details, because it’s not even trying to…

Sigourney is also ridiculously tall for a woman, so ‘generic’ REALLY doesn’t apply to her in any way, shape, or form.
