I feel like you could go in a sort of Ralph Bakshi-influenced direction from here and create something modern out of it.

Swords and sorcery feels ripe for some reshaping to me right now.

I think someone definitely needs to touch grass.

Why do they need this person? Can't their AI do this job?

A small handful of Republicans can start to feel the anger they're gonna reap for fucking the economy with tarrifs and ICE terror then taking away affordable* health insurance.

  • health insurance isn't affordable. For-profit health insurance is evil rich people shit and they know it.

I am so tired of stories about how this isn't what these voters voted for.

I was told repeatedly that, no, these voters are smart and are not voting against their own interests and how dare I suggest otherwise.

These voters are morons.

Even so, he said given the choices on the ballot, he still would have voted for Trump—reflecting a dilemma felt by many in rural America.

It's all clowns all the way down, isn't it?

Based on how many corps bought out by private equity get stripped for parts and destroyed, I'd say the outcome is relatively similar.

I would prefer the deaths didn't enrich the oligarchs more, but I am actively trying to pull back my spend on all corporate stuff because of this exact horseshit. Lots of others are, too. Maybe others think I am just pissing in the wind, but at this point I give zero fucks what others think and vote with my wallet until I can vote for people who will regulate this shit like a functioning government is supposed to instead of this reality tv garbage.

Oh well.

I'm a Toys-R-Us kid and I think maybe we didn't need all that fucking plastic.

We will survive without Grand Slams.

It's time to put the corporations back on the back burner of Americana.

An impeachment process would seem to be a great way to put RFK under a spotlight for this plan. 🤷‍♂️

I asked for a suggestion and got back a screed. Let them worry about legislating, then.

What can you or I do right now instead of whining about their job performance? What could you do in your community? Maybe if you tell me a challenge you want to tackle toward this end, I could tell you one I'd like to take on in mine and we could try to motivate each other.

This is our chance.

 
 

[Jury Nullification] is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury's reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust

Until the wealthy and powerful are held to account, why punish your fellow everyday citizens? Use your brain. Decide if what they're charging people with is suppression or actually keeping society safe.

When those prosecutors start losing these cases, maybe they will start to rethink who they are focusing on.

 

... at least how it'd be for me.

 

I saw other reports in the recent call for problems of errors around searching, but this seems, to me at least, to be reproducible.

edit: to be clear, this is using fedia.io - I am not sure if this bug affects mbin/kbin more generally, I've only tested on fedia.io.
