I once ordered from a wings place and left the comment "arrange the chicken into a pentagram. please, I need this"

They didn't do it, but I hope I made someone chuckle out of it.

In this day and age, why aren't brothels and sex work legal?

The disease is unlimited money in politics.

There are billionaires who were already radicalized to this level. They're just pouring their fortunes into bringing everyone else into their fold, too.

Remember 15 years ago when Republicans finally stopped going after LGBTQ folks, and how that slowly started to erode after Citizens United? It is not coincidental. There are evangelist billionaires whose only concern in the world is a regressive future, and that's bad for everybody.

I believe the island of Lesbos is in Greece.

It's almost like the culture war is completely manufactured and the people perpetuating it don't actually give a shit because they're just playing the grift for their own benefit.

Remember kids, the only solidarity is class solidarity and rich people understand that better than you.

EDIT: Autocorrect butchered my spelling.

But in all seriousness, think of strikes and the inherent power of labor.

How come management never strikes?

When workers strike and there are no workers in the building, the day comes to a screeching halt and NOTHING happens.

If there are no managers in the building, business continues as usual. Because it happens all of the fucking time. That's why your manager can go on vacation for weeks at a time and nobody gives a shit, but you're lucky if you get 5 days in a whole calendar year.

As long as you commodify my labor, it has value.

Whose labor generates more value? The worker, who creates the product being sold to generate profit, or the boss who manages them?

Oh hey, look.

The former CEO of EA made a greedy, short-sighted decision to fuck over his entire customer base.

I am shocked, friends.

SHOCKED.

The fuck does this dude think soldiers did in the Civil War and World War I?

They had nothing but time and laudanum. You do the fucking math.

Ah.

So white ladies are going to start fleeing across the border to get abortions that they can't get in the States.

Conservatives really ARE trying to bring us back to the 1950s, aren't they?

Last comment was deleted, so I guess I'll repost it with edits.

Couldn't happen to a nicer piece of shit.

Lot of folks trying to take the high road here out of compassion.

This guy single-handedly fucked democracy sideways for at least a generation. The reverberations of his Supreme Court shenanigans are going to be responsible for the deaths of thousands.

I hope he spends the rest of his days confused and shitting himself.
