I have been bamboozled.

...are there kids in your neighbourhood who regularly dress like that? What I'm saying is, what are the odds someone is doing a bit? An unfunny and bad bit, sure, but still

Seriously, we live in such a stupid, evil timeline. I hate it.

Saw an interesting take on this recently. Rowling decided it would be great to have her hero emancipate a slave, but she's so dedicated to neoliberalism that literally any systemic change - even ending the slavery of imaginary beings in her pretend universe - is unthinkable. So we end up with "uh actually they just like being slaves, it's part of their nature". But because she's completely invested in white supremacy and neoliberalism she can't even see how fucked up that is.

Haha. I remember digging up the last post will made on /CTH and it was some fucking dire stuff. Someone commented something pretty milquetoast about not liking to pay money for a left wing podcast only for the hosts to have a guy on talking about his reviews of fast food restaurants and will lost his fucking shit. It wasn't like it was a bunch of people dunking on him, or even that the one commenter was being particularly harsh. He was just for whatever reason feeling especially thin-skinned that day.

it isn't okay to close the sub for a joke.

Oh my god, I've left this account basically idle since the sub was banned (as it should have been but for the wrong reasons, as I predicted) and haven't seen the volcel police in a long time. Good (?) shit.
