9. Throw up the Kool-Aid. Phones were – still are – a magic portal into a psychedelic fun house of possibility. They’re also tracking and surveilling you even as you sleep while a Silicon Valley edgelord plots ways to tear up the federal government.
10. Listen to women of colour.
11. Think of your personal data as nude selfies.
12. Don’t buy the bullshit. Everything is on the record based on validated reality.
13. Find a way to connect to those you disagree with.

@nopuppet_007 14. Pay in cash.
15. Remember. If they try to normalize, let us try to denormalize. Let us hold on to facts, truths, values, norms, arrangements that are going to be under siege. Let us not forget what happened and why.
16. Find allies in unlikely places
17. There is such a thing as truth. Can the sceptic resist the tyrant?’ is one of the oldest questions in political philosophy. We can’t even fully recognise what tyranny is if we let the ruling powers get away with lying.

Don’t know if you could get away with it, but for $89 a year, it’s pretty handy.

@singlemaltgirl Mel always said “making fun of Hitler robbed the despot of his power and symbolism.”

When he was a combat engineer in WWII, he would heckle Nazis on the front lines.

Fuck them.

@Kurtroedeger dammit… the kids use one in school, and I don’t remember the name of it. Stand by. See what I can do.

@dietotaku Rule 1: 1. When someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Rule 19: 19. Humor is a weapon. Any man who feels the need to build a rocket is not overconfident about his masculinity. Work with that. This is the Mel Brooks Rule.

@Anemone Inflation is a tool by the broligarchs to keep us poor.

I would charge $7 for the whole pie.

@kel Speaking of, Ralph has played two of the top five greatest villains of all time.

couldn’t stay in the same room with him for 3 seconds.

@Zevon Oh, that is certainly the truth. You five can figure out pretty much anything!

@Anemone I sure did.

Also, here’s my food pic. My intrepid step-daughter made these.

@Zevon For you? Yes. What about the other four? 🤣😂

@Zevon Why yes… I did donate $7 to CoSo.

Otherwise, this money would have gone to the VI Mafia.

😳😂

@kel He wishes he was that interesting or played by a damn good actor.
