As Ted hurries to Cancun…

As the cousin of a NY public librarian, fuck mayor Adams, but for so many more reasons than this.

Stop voting cops in as mayor’s, because at the end of the day they’re still just corrupt cops.

You’re not wrong at all homie

The timeline if Trump wins in November…

Biden isn’t the one sending storm troopers onto UT Austin’s campus to crush pro-Palestinian protests, that would be the Republicans, remember on election day that both sides are absolutely not the same, and Trump sure as fuck does not care about Gaza or Palestine, or even Israel really if we’re being honest here. (Well or anything else but himself)

“My kid is freaking out and yelling ‘KOBE!’ when he shoots the basketball because of the solar eclipse! Is Kobe some new sun god these woke heathens are making our kids worship in schools instead of JESUS?!?”

Good luck with the novel, writing is another great outlet, take care.

I channel that into anger, rather than hopelessness, but I absolutely get you, it’s hard being unable to stop things from happening that you see a thousand miles away, and being fix some of the easiest stuff to fix. Now with the political climate with one side of most governments leaning very fascist, and then what’s going on economically, everything is harder and more frustrating, much more expensive. But that’s why I choose anger over hopelessness, because fuck these assholes, I’m not going to let these bastards grind us down, and you shouldn’t either.

My advice would be to try to force yourself to live in the moment more, stay informed, but find other outlets for your life, even if it’s just trying some pot and hallucinogenics, and channel your hopelessness into something positive, something that helps, even if it’s just something that helps you, also music, listening to it, or playing it if you can, I can’t, but music is always very therapeutic. Books or audiobooks work pretty well too.

Good luck, I really hope you find a way to overcome your sense of hopelessness, I know it’s not easy, but life never is.

Watching the actual Daily Show interview would probably be more helpful than this article was:

https://youtu.be/oaDTiWaYfcM?si=yKBpKqFXKgYxvyDL

It was a really good interview, Lina Khan was essentially a guest that Apple TV had blacklisted from Jon’s now cancelled show, they break down some of the ways the Tech Robber Barons have been undermining regulations and laws, while making boatloads of money and manipulating the stock market. They then go into some of Jon’s issues with Apple, his former employer, and why they had Lina Khan blacklisted as a guest on Jon’s now cancelled show, and after hearing her speak I can see why, she’s smart, and knows the topic well, and has some good ideas on how to fix some of the issues we have with regulating and controlling not just tech, but all out of control businesses. Then they discuss AI, how corporate leadership is going to fuck workers over completely using AI, and how AI is currently just a bunch of bullshit being used as an excuse to take our jobs and pay us less.

It’s going to be like that Star Trek episode where they find Voyager and it’s evolved and achieved sentience.

Oh no not the Murlocs!

We should spread new elon death rumors and make what happened more and more embarrassing with each telling.

Edit: I love all of these already, lol

Wah da tay

That’s why Willful Child is probably the better Star Trek fanfic, where it’s like “what if we really emphasized how much of a misogynistic asshole Kirk could have been?” Or “what if we merged Kirk with Zapp Brannigan?”

They should make that black mirror episode into a series as a contrast to The Orville.

Also good is John Scalzi’s Red Shirts or Steven Erickson’s Willful Child

Kirk gives her the ole’ Sean Connery (say it in your head in his voice)

You know how you can tell this meme was made by a white supremacist? They make sure to specify how you can only get away with using racial slurs on whites, because racists always have to ensure that they have a grievance that justifies their racism.

Oh and because it’s not that funny.
