@mattyglesias Not what catturd is going for, but unfortunately the authoritarian, theocratic government of Iran does in fact appear to be more invested in American democracy continuing than tens of millions of Americans
@Vanessa_ABee conservative brain drain is real. Good in the sense that it loses them elections, terrifying in the sense that these people can potentially be in charge of our drinking water and sanitation

@_ryanruby_ I'll smile and give them the candy, but I'll be silently seething as those vengeful little shits dressed up as characters from Bluey and Paw Patrol
@_ryanruby_ "they put razor blades in the candy!"
the fact that Baudrillard is as gullible as the dumbest American parent honestly explains so much about his philosophy
