Precocity does that. And yeah, the number of households in precarity (worried about rent, housing, health, food, etc.) is between 66% and 88% in the US.

Also there’s intergenerational dysfunction ever since the industrial age and the rise of the nuclear family.

We’re all mad here. 🐇🎩🫖

Case.in pointn SESTA and FOSTA which created carve-outs of Sectiob 230 for Human Trafficking, which killed human trafficking ads on Backpage.

Except it didn’t. Backage was busted before the law was passed. Despite that they were actively cooperating with law enforcement to track higher-rank mobsters.

And then, traffickers returned to the streets and are now more active than ever.

In the meantime sex worker networking suffered since platforms closed down forums where violent and manipulative johns are reported. So the whole sex work industry suffered.

And because the social media platforms are chilled, some won’t host LGBT+ support.

All for the kids, who are worse off since sex ed materials are also struggling to find tolerant hosts.

Its been…

…days since a new rule has been added.

(In comparison, it’s been 28,967 days since an atomic weapon was used in hostility.)

This might be cold comfort for non-revolutionaries.

If they kill you for your LGBT+ comrades, it will make bystanders into LGBT+ sympathists, and sympathists into activists and activists into revolutionaries.

We saw this in Portland in the 2020 George Floyd unrest in which the DHS overplayed its hand, and the moms came out to hold the line and then the dads came out.

We’ve seen it before during the civil rights movement, and was fundamental to Martin Luther King Jr.'s tactics to advance using non-violent methods.

One legend is Naked Athena, a woman who held off a DHS squad in Portland during the George Floyd unrest, just with bare skin, chutzpah and nothing else. The troopers backed off than face her.

Yes, it sucks to be the one that dies, and Mahsa Amini wasn’t around to enjoy the movement her death in Iran sparked. But the MAGAs think you’re expendable anyway, and they’ll look to kill you even if you’re not toeing the front line. I’m not the best person to say that going out a hero is the best way to go, but you know, the goblin army is at the gates of Minas Tirith; we do what we gotta do.

The Management clan is huge.

And in 2027 there was a mass culling of the Private-Equity clan, when the revolution declared the entire family outlaw and they were hunted to the last junior.

It was ordained that the name of Private-Equity should be altogether abolished, and that the whole persons of that clan should renounce their name and take them some other name, and that they nor none of their posterity should call themselves Private-Equity or Investor under pain of death

Dang it and I was hoping you were What Bombs At Midnight.

Surf’s up, space ponies! I’m making gravy without the lumps!

I still think the catgirl paws salute should be the new salute of the American Résistance.

I also think the catgirl paws salute should be recognized as a salute.

According to the US, torture is legal when it’s done by the US, which is a single example of how the federal US law does not reflect what is right, what is good, what is just.

They may already have your data today but as soon as you can cut off pipelines that data starts getting stale.

foul harlot smacks of Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep

In Maya / Gaige runs, I would hear the knights orbed (phaselocked) by Maya exclaim:

Release me you Hellspawn temptress!

And I, playing Gaige would feel jealous that they wouldn’t call me a Hellspawn Temptress.

Also among their lines for Maya:

The harlot has me in her clutches!
The succubus goes for thy soul!
The hussy has me in her spell!

When I summon Deathtrap, they cry The wench summons her foul spawn!

Why am I a lowly wench when Maya is a Hellspawn Temptress!?

I WANT TO BE A HELLSPAWN TEMPTRESS!

If that were a 60 mph bumper, I’d totally put one in front and back. Screw ugly, let’s be safe.

I’m reminded of when I was blogging about brown shooters, FPSes during the era realistic graphics looked brown and dingy with subdued coloration.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do an image search of brown shooter with safesearch off. Worse than goatse hello.jpg.

In 1980s psychological parlance, the most common places to find partners were:

1. Work
2. School
3. Church
4. Friends of family
5. Friends of friends

In the 1990s and aughts, we were already seeing that things had shifted. Fewer people were engaged in their church group. There was more awareness of sexual harassment at work (and power dynamics that could interfere with regular human interaction). People also had fewer friends and less contact with their extended family. This resulted in more people clubbing (and functioning by one-night stands) and otherwise looking for better places to find eligible partners.

I was in the psychiatric sector both as a patient and a peer counselor, and they recommended activity groups. Frisbee golf, knitting, puzzle-building, backgammon, gardening, etc. I sucked at those, but I was dating during the golden age of Craigslist personal ads. We still have sexual harassment in the workplace in 2024, often from upper-management on the clerical pool, which means for anyone not in upper management, they’re being micromanaged and kept from propositioning fellow employees. But curiously in the 1970s and 1980s employees often dated and married.
