@florencemachine@Ticketmaster is allowing scalpers to resell your tickets immediately. This happened to me after I had a floor seat in checkout and I timed out after the 5 minutes of TM not letting me pay.
“Nazi” isn’t a slur. It’s a word that describes real people who earnestly believe in their ideas. Their ideas are disgusting and hateful, but of course they often do not realize it.
I keep running into racists who think that it’s not white supremacist to think that white people are inherently superior to other races. No…that’s the whole definition!! The fact that they believe it earnestly and don’t think it’s an idiotic, hateful belief doesn’t mean it’s not an idiotic, hateful belief.
Nazi isn’t a word that means “bad evil boogeyman” it means “someone who believes in their own racial superiority, extreme protectionist nativism, the purifying of society by eliminating undesirables, expansionism, active suppression of dissent, and total state power held in the hands of a very small group.”
Make sure the people you’re cheering for don’t believe these things because otherwise…

We gotta reject “Well, RFK jr. is right about some things” and accept “if we don’t confront the real problems with our systems, it becomes much easier for con artists like this guy to manipulate people.”
Hey, you like soft-launches of cosy festive podcasts, right? Well @EleanorMorton and I just started Eleanor & Alasdair Read That, a podcast where two red-headed comedians revisit classic kids’ books. The pilot ep is THE HOBBIT by George. R. R. Martin.
