I haven’t been this shocked since I found out the original McGruff voice actor was arrested with a bunch of guns and weed plants

They used to, but it didn’t boost ad engagement so they stopped.

Free trimming.

Counterpoint: create a field of brambles for your goats to wander through when they get itchy so you don’t have to brush them.

Bonus: those brambles are blackberry bushes so you can wander through them and eat breakfast.

And gather goat fur to spin into cordage or make brushes from.

Wow she really isn’t very good.

How were we so starved for something that we latched onto her baloney?

I blame Macklemore

Okay so I’m just never gonna be happy with my government because I’m too weird.

Maybe I should be an independent. Since I’m in a swing state they might actually care what I think.

I understand the scope of the field and realize I’ll be an idiot forever?

I just assume I’m an idiot about everything

He’s young, an eloquent speaker, a sharp debater.

Those things only matter to nerds.

Everyone else will see “Butt” in his name and giggle

We do not win this nation with smart, progressive candidates who have educations and experience. We win with characters and celebrity and face-value, direct, dumb messaging. The median voter doesn’t care about outcomes unless it impacts them immediately and noticeably.

I agree with this because it confirms my belief that everyone is an idiot.

I’ve voted in every Democratic primary since I could vote for Kucinich. State and local, too. When does participation mean they care what I think?

I tried to and then realized that they can’t actually help with the main things I want changed, and that they’re just sad little kings of sad little hills.

If that’s the case then we should just give up, because people are going to be fucking idiots like they’ve always been, so we’ll never get anyone good in office ever.

Stop expecting the US to oppose genocide.

We’re never going to oppose genocide.

Genocide is part of what built this country.

Local government isn’t boring. It’s infuriating. It’s like if you gave the worst HOAs a police force.

Big Diogenes Energy

If you want land you have to buy it from the government on an annual basis unless you have sufficient arms and production to keep their thugs out.

As someone who would very much like to cut theirself off from society: It is not this easy.

A little rail cart on a winch would work quite nicely.

As usual, the answer to the transportation problem is a train.
