my granddad was told not to talk about it too. (he had some sighting and a fairly high security clearance.) he’d tell a little about his sighting but then would just start on about Van Danikan. he was a serious guy, hated all sorts of fantasy and scifi, but damn did he believe we were seeded by aliens.

I love how they keep calling him “young”. He’s 39. I’m 39. I have wrinkles. When I was born, one of my grandparents was 39. He could be a grandfather. This is not young.

ty i wasn’t sure. all i could find was something on ADA talking about police asking what supports they might use (which i mean come on these ppl did not care what supports the protestors needed.) but it didn’t make clear if it was legal to disregard requests.

I’m fairly sure it’s illegal to pull people out of their wheelchairs, since you could really hurt someone(And obviously they did, since they had blood on the floor. I hope someone didn’t lose a tube or port or something before they were hauled off). Does anyone know for sure? Google’s not helping too much.

Lil rant: my father lied to us about his vote and then laughed at all of us when trump won. I also think he’s mismanaging the trust for my aunt i care for (she has developmental disabilities and i don’t manage her trust just her ssi). I hate my father very much.

yh Ima colorado an who lived in SW and eastern kansas. Western Kansas very firmly feels they are The West. But people in eastern kansas referred to themselves as midwestern when i lived out there. To me, if it’s green, it’s the midwest. if it’s brown, it’s the west.

amy grandfather seemed to believe that Diet Pepsi had magic calorie-cancelling powers. Didn’t stop him from needing a heart transplant nd then dying of congestive heart failure, so i’m not really all that convinced tbh

i just want to stop and appreciate how immensely satisfying it is that the reporters behind these daily beast stories are women.

and the only reason they voted for him was because the country is changing and it’s so so scawwy! oh noes cishet white men may not always have all the power in the future! Let’s go back to our cozy 50s childhoods! fucking babies.

i have been rereading Hoffman and hadn’t forgotten how astute he was. In among the molotov cocktail instructions you get some brilliance on messaging, especially in “Revolution for the Hell of It”.

They won’t even have to follow thru on lawsuit threats. The threats enough will be enough to stop most. And remember he drove small businesses out of business by long court cases they could not afford. The silencing begins.

Lawful evil vs chaotic evil. I’ll choose lawful every time!

saw a tweet (forget who it was now) pointed out its a flip of the Allies of WW2. Except for Austria, they’ve never really left the far right, really. But otherwise you’ve got Russia, Britisn, France—all going authoritarian

me too, I had forgotten where I had first read that concept I’ve been telling everyone this is the last gasp. but it will be huge, worldwide, and it will be horrible.

I think that's why they use skittles, tbh. Maybe I read too much into it, tho.

This has been driving me crazy. I have a GI dr and he only deals with myCrohns disease, even tho I have arthritis related to Crohn’s disease as well. Because it’s just weird otherwise! But did you see the story on how he got sued for prescribing much Valium and non-gastroenterology meds to a patient? sorry I can't…

That doesn’t help the people with the true, swell-up-and-die dairy allergies like me, tho. Sometimes people have good reasons to buy what they buy. That said, I prefer soy—but I don’t have a soy allergy. Besides, lactose-free milk is just milk with lactase added. It’s not really “free” of anything. not sure how they…

I feel like this is secretly what all pharma execs do. “Ha, ha, sucks to be you!” they whisper, as they furtively watch my house thru binoculars from their Bentley parked in the shadows.

See, I felt more violent. Saw what he said last night and how he was all “but I don’t want to offend people with disabilities” or whatever pathetic way he phrased it. Well you fucking did, asshat. I care for my aunt, and it was all I. ever wanted to do with my life. She is honestly the best person I know, and he’d be…
