When people say Capitalism is the answer to everything I like to remind them that aspirin is something of a miracle drug but because there is no profit in it it is not being properly studied for all of its potential benefits.

This is an example of why pure Capitalism, like pure Communism, is not a workable idea in the long run. We have never had a true one of either in the world because it’s impossible. Some socialism must be present in capitalism and vice versa, for it to ever really work.

I'm sad the days of prank calling people with silly phrases that sound like spy codes are over.

@kel The best way to communicate peaceful intent during an alien invasion would be to make sure your actions are non-threatening and polite. Greet the aliens with a friendly gesture, such as a wave or smile, and use words like “hello” or “good day” in a respectful tone. If possible, avoid making sudden movements or gestures that might appear hostile. It can also help to make yourself appear smaller, by crouching down or keeping your arms at your sides. Most importantly, keep calm and follow instructions from experts.

@kel If aliens invade Earth, it is important to stay informed of developments, seek support from trusted sources, and remain calm while following instructions from experts. It may be necessary to evacuate or take shelter in a secure location, so it is important to have an emergency plan and supplies ready in the event of an invasion. Depending on the type of threat posed by the aliens, it may also be advisable to reach out for assistance from a professional such as a doctor, mental health provider, or law enforcement.

If a non-alcoholic drink is a “virgin,” what the hell is the bartender doing to one with alcohol in it??

Literally calling for genocide at CPAC.

“Sorry can’t help you afford food or medicine we’re trying to kill off a group of people”

I used to write weekly horror flash based on a tarot card I pulled out, but had to stop in 2020 because too much reality does fun things to PTSD, I can't even watch the same shows anymore, but now I find myself grabbing the fluffy deck that inspired light hearted stories of poisoners and women caught in webs of delusions, thinking of writing again "in a more positive light, like a murder mystery cozy" in full awareness that it means I'm so frustrated I want to kill someone. Hmmm.

@tippitiwichet Q: Why did the chicken go to the séance? A: To get to the other side.

What do you think. Should I go with the urge to get into screen printing so I could put my designs on velvet with fluorescent paints and sell them by the side of the road out of a van with a pegasus painted on the side? Maybe Keanu Reeves could be riding the pegasus.

I asked my dog what's two minus two.

He said nothing.

I thought it would be fun to redo my avatar and make it more apparent it's inspired by a skull and crossbones, but I'm stuck having fun working with tiny details that I will have to erase to clarify it when I shrink it, yet I persist. I keep thinking I should clean up all the clunky lines and make it something more refined, so it looks nice larger, yet I can't. All those clunky pixels are making me happy. I bet if this was the 70s I'd totally be into the painting on velvet craze.

Anyone else really like the aesthetic of motorcycles, but when on one they scream like a baby for the driver to slow down?
