Bartender: Holy shit, where'd you get that thing?

Parrot: He was panhandling out front.

Me: That's totally not true.

Parrot: Oh look it talks.

a lot of people believe that being vulnerable about how vile they are somehow absolves their bad writing and it’s not true

Why don’t these pussy ass bitches play in the rain? With all the flopping and diving they do you’d think a little water could only make it better.

1. Communism is utterly un-American.

2. Authoritarianism/fascism is utterly un-American too.

3. The Democratic Party is not Communist. Not yet. Not even close.

4. The Republican Party IS
authoritarian/fascist. RIGHT NOW.

So…which party is the greater threat to America?

@AlbyJMangels @ABC No shit, fuckwit. Bad calls happen in sports. You cry about it & go on with your life. When the corrupt president of the host country calls in a favor from his corrupt special friend who’s in charge of the tournament’s governing body it stinks & that stink won’t wash off.

If you had any lingering doubts as to how completely corrupt FIFA is... first off, you're an idiot, and second, this should settle your doubts.

Really getting into the spirit of things here

[New Left EViews @NewLeftEViews]

The United States of America were founded by wealthy slave owners and arch-Stuart reactionaries who rejected their monarch because he couldn’t prevent Parliament from taxing their colony, whose violent settler peasantry just wanted to continue murderously expanding their frontier.

They were one of the last countries to abolish slavery and didn’t become a formal democracy until the 1960s. Their advantage of being a freer and more open society was short-lived and their attempt to build anything resembling a social state crumbled. Instead of a society of mass affluence, they ended up with a barbaric carceral system of historically unprecedented proportions, a top-heavy rapaciously extractive economy, a state thoroughly captured by oligarchic interests.

The last decades have been marked by America’s centrality to nearly every damaging social, cultural and ideological trend. It continues to export its accelerating domestic psychoses to the world. It has become the ultimate destabilising hegemon, blundering around like dying ogre, ever swelling a mountain of rotting corpses.

American isn’t the cause of all ill in the world, but the increasingly nihilistic, zero-sum social culture of contemporary capitalism, that has ramified into every corner of society, is fundamentally American, and the umbilical chord is very much still attached. There is no Post-American world—but with a little luck there will be one day.

Happy 4th of July

@mollyfleck @lacherbauer My view is closer to Johnson (1777): “You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life."

@jontapson @dieworkwear It's talk like this that makes the noble anteater feel threatened.

@nicholascarrigg Does look pretty bleak tbh. I'm into small town life, but exurbs are so car-dependent & inefficient, makes connecting w neighbors hard, providing roads & services expensive. But each to his own, as long as you don't expect taxpayers to pay when you get hit by a wildfire or flood.
