Come hang out and write some HTML with us. Art supplies to share would be appreciated. Feel free to turn this into an impromptu distro of masks, zines, stickers, or anything else you have to share.

Alright @cferdinandi, I'll bite. When the light is good, like this morning, I like to take walks near my home to take pictures. This is one of three babies on the face of my local casino. The babies have barcodes as faces, because the artist wanted to draw attention to how modern society dehumanizes. I like that I don't know why the casino chose that specific art.

In June, after a Trumpist terrorist murdered Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, some liberals lost their shit at me in my mentions for observing that cops were too scared to enter the home and stop the killer.
Turns out that the cops not only watched Mark get shot, but also watched muzzle flashes from outside the home, where they waited *for more than an hour* before entering, and then only after using a drone to search the house first. The killer just strolled out the back door.
No matter how many plate carriers and MRAPs and NVGs and suppressors we buy them so they can cosplay as SOF operators, they remain cowards who will watch you die.

Right now there are hedge fund managers, CEOs, engineers, lawyers, marketing directors, and lobbyists meeting and drafting plans to make money building American Dachau. They have looked at what it costs to starve people, what regulations exist for dealing with bodies, how many people can share a mattress and if you even need mattresses. They have talked about sites, and probably have spoken to certain governors.
These people must not be allowed back into society when they are named.

The problem with most critiques of the New York Times is they lay the blame for the horrendous normalization, stenography and both-siderism at the feet of the editors and journalists. These weaklings definitely deserve derision, but the principle culprit is the publisher AG Sulzberger who has transformed the paper of record into a stealth right wing propaganda machine. Critics should be saying his name. AG Sulzberger has done this.
