oof that thumbnail kinda says it all, huh?

what i sent to the NYT morning newsletter before unsubscribing from that rag

^^^ one more boost before bed. what kills me is i actually did have the top comment on the previous platypus video, but that was right *before* they started the giveaway. 2 "close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades" events is just too much.

well it's a hail mary, but if i could get 10,000 of you to like my comment (the only one with a ❤️ from the channel itself) on this short, i could win a really awesome glow in the dark platyplushie... help me not feel like a pathetic worthless loser?

okay that's... no, that is not what a hierarchical world is. a hierarchical world is means that PEOPLE are divided into ranks and some ranks are superior to or supercede others, like the organizational structure of a corporation. you've got the executives at the top, making all the decisions, the middle management carrying out orders, and the grunts at the bottom doing all the work. that's how conservatives view the whole world.

LE TANKIE REDDITOR: "liberals are right of center!"

ME: no they're not. [provides citation from scientific american]

LE TANKIE REDDITOR: "yes they are because capitalism!"

🤦‍♀️

in case anyone's wondering why I haven't been reacting to headlines lately

@Alfred The stuff of substance, the substance of thought, the matter of life, yet matter I'm not. A grain of me feeds you, live you never so long, a gram will destroy you, be you ever so strong.

What am I?

I AM LITERALLY BEGGING YOU TO STOP DOING THIS

NYT once again both-sidesing "is old" with "is nearly as old and also racist and sexist and obsessed with nukes and a pedophile rapist in love with his own daughter and an aspiring dictator who attempted a coup and plans to dismantle our entire system of government"

she WOULD be the logical choice, if America was a logical country, but we're not. you would literally be better off replacing Biden with Hillary Clinton, and we already know how that race pans out.

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS "DEVASTATED," JOE. DEMOCRACY HANGS IN THE BALANCE, REMEMBER?

also "goodest job"? come in, man... 🤦‍♀️

Jonathan Decker's accountability kink just activated

the fact that I already know none of those 6 columnists will agree on a single candidate (much less one the rest of the electorate will get behind) is exactly the fucking problem with trying to force Biden out at this stage. either start planning this as soon as he's sworn in, or don't bother.

YOU ARE LITERALLY THE NEWS. YOU ARE THE ONES DOING THIS. STOP BEING THE FUCKING SPIDER-MAN MEME POINTING OUT HOW YOU ARE TURNING POLITICS INTO A CIRCUS AND THREATENING THE VERY EXISTENCE OF DEMOCRACY.

because they're fucking idiots who have forgotten their history lessons from the last time we did this 80 years ago?
