@MidnightRider I think this is a worldwide phenomenon due to the progressive accumulation of money in the hands of only some people who use their power to destroy Earth. We should get our joy from resisting their calls to surrender everything, even in small, everyday acts.
@MidnightRider No doubt about it. I find it nonetheless troubling that a large proportion of society now embraces neoserfdom in the hope that they will somehow receive favoritism for obedience. Newsflash - this is not how serfdom works.
@MidnightRider I agree but there is a qualitative difference between the imperfect implementation of a promise of justice and equality for all and the outright abandonment of this promise. @Queasy

“One week from today, you will have the chance to make a decision that directly impacts your life, the life of your family, and the future of this country we love,” she said. “[I]t will probably be the most important vote you ever cast. And this election is more just than a choice between two parties and two different candidates. It is a choice about whether we have a country rooted in freedom for every American or ruled by chaos and division.”

Why Are Billionaires Tiptoeing Around Trump?
Bill Gates, Jamie Dimon, and Jeff Bezos may think they’re playing it safe staying on the sidelines. But you can't exactly hedge against the former president’s wrath.
___
It's fear of what he'll do to them.

I just noticed someone is no longer a member.
What happened to @LowEndMuse?
@AntBit And there was this window of opportunity that you could order DVDs from Asia that did not have a release in Europe or the US. Nowadays, customs regulations have cut these ties.
@AntBit That film surely is an eye-popping ride. Also some nostalgia involved, as it reminds me of the time when two major cinematic communities in Germany still existed.

Billionaires Spew More CO2 Pollution in 90 Minutes Than Average Person in a Lifetime
"The extreme emissions of the richest, from their luxury lifestyles and even more from their polluting investments, are fueling inequality, hunger, and—make no mistake—threatening lives."

"Donki" — technically they're called "Don Quijote" — are not really "grocery stores", they're quite hard to describe. Everything's kind of cheap and weird and an impulse buy, and they're open 24/7.
They're a chain and there are quite a number of them in the bigger cities. They're a hoot.
If you go regularly, you'll end up with sacks of amusing, useless stuff.
@Museek Most people connect Fraktur with Nazis (as probably does eLOL because he is lame and dumb). But in reality, this was the "German" font of pre-Nazi times, and the fascists tried to rid themselves of this "Jewish font".

This year is the 40th anniversary of Stan Sakai's Usagi Yojimbo. There is a fan driven tribute book in the works. They're very close to hitting the goal to take care of the printing. If you can help, it would be appreciated.
p.s. I submitted a 2 page story so yes, I have an interest in seeing this succeed.

I saw two falling stars tonight!
and i was looking for a cluster called Hyades thanks to @POOetryma. Too soon? I saw Pleiades but not Orion yet.
@mcfate This Stepford wives remake is even scarier.
