The cosmogony in this comic is pretty close to what I believe, lol

I think the idea is that it’s a bad dream for him because he won’t make it as a musician

I’ve read 12 of Vonnegut’s books. He is fundamentally a social progressive, but there are also some moments in some 70s novels (particularly Breakfast of Champions) that I find homophobic. He also has a habit of making women either passive pleasers or full nutso.

But he also explicitly and repeatedly pushes kindness, egalitarian social justice, and willingness to change.

I highly highly recommend every human read Mother Night.

That’s not his views… that’s from an essay where he’s parodying the mainstream ultrasimplification of political alignment.

You left out some language that I think clears up his ironic tone:

If you want to take my guns away from me, and you’re all for murdering fetuses, and love it when homosexuals marry each other, and want to give them kitchen appliances at their showers, and you’re for the poor, you’re a liberal.

If you are against those perversions and for the rich, you’re a conservative.

What could be simpler?

Totally changes it, doesn’t it?

He also said his fatal mistake was making one of the tools too closely resemble a saw

“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.”

I mean, yeah. You never make a glue glove?

That is a fake narrative invented by right wingers.

Someone explain ballplay to me

Being beaten to a bloody pulp is fine and dandy, but how am I going to earn my money back?

Any fantasy of mine about deconstructing the executive branch also includes us already overturning CU and mandating regular voting method review and/or banning FPTP so that the 2-party system collapses. Also expanding the House and requiring automatic voter registration.

Two-limbed executive: Head of Government “The President” who is elected by popular vote and has clerical powers similar to Germany’s president, and Head of State + Commander in Chief “Prime Congressman” who is nominated by the house and approved by the senate.

Alan Moore is right. Epson = Enron + piss

The office of the presidency should be abolished

This guy is cool as shit
