Here’s my thought process: They’re trying to stun us into numbness. It’s an actual strategy, and it’s called the shock doctrine. There are a lot of people fighting on the front lines right now, but they *will* burn out. I’m staying back for now, keeping track of things so I’m not completely out of the loop but…

Just water now because I had seven shots (I thought it was four, but the waitress corrected me after I was done) of I-don’t-even-know-what in a huge fishbowl drink at a belated birthday lunch at a Mexican restaurant. My tolerance is low, so I’m actually still a bit tipsy even though it was about four hours ago.

I’m seeing reports that a federal judge in New York has issued a stay on it! Temporary, but that’s better than nothing at the moment.

Aww, I had a sink-drinker, too! It started because I lived in an apartment with a dripping faucet (because there were ROCKS in the pipes that would prevent me from being able to turn it completely off), and it lasted for years even after I moved twice. I would have to leave a faucet dripping for him or he wouldn’t…

I had a kitty who was like that, except Her Song was Debaser by the Pixies, and Her Line was “girlie so groovy, I want you to know!” Which I realize makes no sense, but neither did she.

(I have no clue how this double-posted. I will note that I am very drunk at the moment, though.)

Fuuuuuck, I became a hardcore MCU Cap fan because of the surveillance state storyline in Winter Soldier, but I had completely forgotten about that turn of events in GI Joe (quite possibly because I was really stoned when I saw it).

You mean “Mister Batshit” isn’t funny enough? ;)

What happens if you’re *owed* money and don’t file? I’m struggling with this because I’m in that position. They already have more of my money than they should.

One of my kitties absolutely refuses to sit on my lap. He will only sit on my boobs. There is no negotiation

Although he wasn’t in all of the movies, I would quite honestly include Harry Potter in there. Everything once Delores Umbridge shows up is really surreal to watch today.

What is this Crystal Skull of which you speak? I have never heard of it and am certain it does not exist. #ONLYTHETRILOGYEXISTS #ANYTHINGELSEISAHORRIFICMASSHALLUCINATION

I don’t do pins, but I wish they had a level that was a bundle of multiple stickers. I have several coworkers who I’m pretty sure would love to have that as a bumper sticker. I personally would love to get a bunch to put on my journals/daily planners.

OMG, I thought that I was the only one who felt it was cathartic. There’s another username (maybe the same person) that I was flagging like crazy. noroomhere, maybe? It was seven shots of booze ago, so I don’t remember for sure.

Fuck. I’m drunk, but voting now for Carson in fear of what could come instead of him is making a terrifying amount of sense right now

Here’s the Reverend’s most famous and relevant quote, which is the one that keeps running through my head and one that I absolutely guarantee you will start popping up more and more as this expands and descends into a full-blown crisis:

Are you familiar with Reverend Niemoller? Because that’s what I get sick about. First they come for the incoming refugees fleeing their home countries. Then they come for established immigrants. Then they come for naturalized citizens. Eventually, they will come up with reasons to deport people whose families have…

FUCK YEAH! Have you seen the first one? Or the trailer for the second one with Laurence Fishburne very calmly intoning, “Give that man a gun”? *And* Ian McShane? I’ve been looking forward to this one since about halfway through my first viewing of the first one.

Yeah, we actually have a very large Asian community in general (even our suburbs: Beaverton in particular also has a significant Asian population). I’m just a couple of blocks off one of the most major thoroughfares in the city, and I’m within a couple of miles of two large pan-Asian grocery stores (including one…
