  • The time period this is from he wasn’t a Nazi.

    I mean, this was during the period that he was a halfway decent person.

    This is two years before his mother died, which is when it spun out of control for him. He never recovered and never had anyone else looking out for him the way she did. Losing his ma broke something in him.

    He literally said “George Bush doesn’t care about black people” and he was right to do so in that moment.

    “Heckuva job, Brownie” Bush said as people died and Brown was absolutely fucking up the Hurricane Katrina response.

    I’m personally entirely fine with memeing him from this period of time, but that’s just me.






  • Hear, hear. That’s some bullshit.

    We’re about to enter an era where literally the only kind of thing that might work is a General Strike which is gonna mean people literally having to plan a month of eating very little because they won’t have income to buy fresh food. Packing stores of water in case your water gets shut off.

    It’s gonna suck real bad, but all these people are like “I want to get involved, but I’ve gotta go to work.” Motherfucker unless your job is literally saving the lives of people, your job can do without you. You can find another job. McDonald’s and Home Depot aren’t making the world a better place.

    Further, maybe we should all be bailing on these worthless jobs that aren’t contributing to society and instead give our skills to Mutual Aid Groups. Maybe our labor would be better spent on our communities rather than selling worthless plastic shit and unhealthy food back and forth to each other?

    You know how Amish communities get together to raise a barn for a neighbor? Yeah, that’s what we need to be fucking doing. The Amish suck in a lot of ways, but they understand that they have to pool their labor together to meaningfully take care of their community. We need community-driven Habitat For Humanity on fucking steroids.

    “We’ll still be expected to go to work during the apocalypse.” Yeah, only if you choose to bend over and fucking take it. You could also walk out of the fucking job because it’s the fucking apocalypse.


  • The fact that through all this gaslighting and society falling apart the best therapists can do for me is to give me techniques to ignore it all.

    Like at what point do we stop making it the job of people who have been broken by this society to fix them fucking selves and control their emotions while all the assholes who keep making it worse are never expected to fix shit about themselves?

    The worst literally just shrug it all off and keep being assholes. When the fuck are mental health professionals gonna acknowledge maybe its not up to us to fix ourselves when society itself is breaking our minds?

    The gaslighters, abusers, and selfish all just get to keep doing what they’re doing and all of us halfway decent people have to do “better” because of them. It’s literally the same stupid attitude that allowed our country to be dragged into fascism.

    Stop making the fucking victims of it all be the ones who have to put in the work to fix anything!







  • I had even forgotten that.

    I can’t fucking stand that piece of shit Eric Migicovsky. He fucked a bunch of the workers at Pebble on his way out, selling it to Fitbit, and then leaving them hanging when they were promised their jobs were part of the sale.

    His whole Beeper breaking into iMessage and then trying to make it work for three days and then just giving up after it became clear Apple was going to fight it. It reeked of complete lack of planning or consideration of the ramifications.

    Finally, they never took privacy seriously, and I learned that the hard way during my onboarding in the first year they released. Suffice to say, I bowed out of the onboarding because of their lack of communication and lack of respect for user privacy.

    Now he wants back in on Pebble since it got open sourced. He’s building another new company and telling people to join.

    I’m sick of this asshole fucking failing upward and fucking everyone each time he does.

    But yes, Mullenweg super sucks, too. So it was created by an asshat, ran by an asshat, and then sold to another asshat.
