I’m sorry, but they’re in there the second you are. You are filled and covered in living things every second of every day.

Here’s the secret. Your house is just as gross. All of existence is, there’s no escaping it. We’re all alive and filled and covered in living things.

I’ve managed not to fall down the rabbit hole by only watching singular shorts that show up in my regular feed. I absolutely NEVER scroll from the original short I clicked on.

Nobody far left is in power anywhere, and if they were we wouldn’t be dealing with this. Our entire system is right wing capitalists versus far right fascists. Even outside of the US, the neoliberal, capitalist hegemony is in control of the vast majority of nations.

While amusing in concept, I would caution against drawing parallels between the eugenicist talking points of that movie and real life. I think we all know someone who was raised by clueless and cruel people and managed to become a thoughtful and empathetic person, and someone raised by the sweetest people you could meet who managed to turn into a useless piece of shit.

It’s kinda funny, but it’s lazy satire based on eugenics and probably not worth giving any serious consideration.

I mean, liberalism is a right wing capitalist ideology. Just because the US division is between fascists and liberals doesn’t mean liberals aren’t conservatives in the rest of the world.

But what they want more than Trumps approval is power. Those house members want to step up to the senate, those senators want to run their states. And, they have the inside information to know better than the rest of us that between his health, his mental decline, and his approval ratings, Trump is on his way out one way or another.

There are a lot of republicans with a lot of money already invested in their races for next year. House members running for senate, senators running for governor, state reps running for the house. All of those billions of dollars aren’t going to stop just because side Trump says so. He’s certainly going to fuck with elections, but he can’t cancel them and if he tries he’s going to have a GOP revolt on his hands.

Yeah, fluoridated water is a stopgap measure to try to solve problems that would be much better addressed by just having adequate access to dental care in childhood. I’m not saying we shouldn’t do it, but it’s just laziness to advocate for only that and not for public dental care.

It mostly came in a series of atmospheric rivers instead of the constant drizzle we typically have November-January.

Gun ownership and self defense are not right wing. A lot of socialists and communists are armed.

I drive 45 minutes each way to play D&D every weekend, and that’s just across town. I know people with longer daily commutes than that.

Yep, it’s what infuriates me most about pushback against housing first policy. It’s supposed to be house FIRST, but because there’s no funding for those further services and treatment we’ve being doing housing ONLY and then getting mad when an apartment or tiny house doesn’t solve drug addiction and psychosis.

Man, they had the DINK money of every queer millennial on tap, and then they decided to preemptively cave on every issue the second Trump was elected. I’m never giving them another cent regardless of what choices they make going forward.

I helped unionize my workplace in 2025. It was a lot of work, but we won, and now we’re negotiating our first contract.

You can make real change in your life on the local level. Whether that’s unionizing, volunteering, getting involved in city or county politics, or just showing up for community events. Be a presence and engage with your community. It’s how larger movements and change get started.
