Chicago dance parties? Preferably older folks welcome and trans friendly.

Wow. Ladybugs was gay? Who would have thunk it?

Palestine Action are declared terrorists for fighting against a fascist genocide, while actual armed fascists planning political murders are endorsed by half the British establishment.

I overdrafted my account to make a necessary payment on my power bills and really badly need to raise some of this $185 to avoid getting stuck in an overdraft cycle

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

Funny AF watching the fallout of Sony’s “digital only” edict resulting in all the leaps in PlayStation5 emulation and jailbreaking. I saw this elsewhere and it sums it up haha

Redistributing class action lawsuit proceeds... One of many services I provide.

I think the coolest part of the political parts of my novel is that they're just people trying. That seems important. I mean, who has ever lived in an anarchist collective across Antarctica, much less provide the infrastructure that can change with it? There's probably too many ideas in this thing.

Man. I need to work on the novel more.

Can't believe Trump is banning shredded cheese. He wants to Make America grate again.

Democrats will never learn.

"ICE" is a militia of serial KILLERS.

The problem won't be malicious... It'll be when someone's always on open claw can't turn off the local home automation lights so somehow it gets an idea to shut off the power plant. It'll probably be more complicated than that. But not much.

Wifey made "mock apple pie." Basically sugar, butter, brown sugar, and Ritz crackers. Tasted just like apple pie. Weird. Good though.

Anybody else remember "EverQuest divorces"?

You ever wonder why you keep trying to do good in the world?
