Funny how since #GretaThunberg started talking about how the #ClimateCrsis is linked to the ills of #capitalism, and actually engaged in activism advocating for it's undoing, suddenly she's nowhere to be seen on TV, Davos, the UN etc etc.
If someone had told me 10 years ago, US politics would fall apart because a spray tanned criminal, who swears, rapes, and engages in extramarital sex, would manage to convince religious voters, he was chosen by God…
Reminder, next year all generations “level up:” Gen Xers become Baby Boomers, Millennials will be Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers become The Silent Generation.
A proper federal investigation into the murder of Nex Benedict
The removal of the superintendent who fomented an atmosphere that led to the death of Nex Benedict
A guarantee from president Joe Biden that if he's reelected, he will prioritize our safety, and put an end to the anti-trans legislation being passed around the country. The same legislation that led to Benedict's death.

Nex's murderers walk free. Nex's community remains silent.
Why aren't you fucking mad? If the murder of a #trans child isn't enough to drive you mad, then how about the school, police, and DA conspiring together to protect the murderers? If that isn't enough to make you at least march in the streets, then I'm convinced the moment will never come.
We're pathetic. I fucking hate our silence. I fucking hate this.
According to this "no losses" theory, nothing with FTX, Theranos, Bernie Madoff, or Enron was a crime or even a civil violation until the entire thing came crashing down. It's perfectly fine to lie about millions of dollars unless it goes bad, then it's retroactively illegal. 🙄

@euphoriagremlin Nightly Garbage run is a must have for any pre-Neo deck, since the biggest danger of base-fossil/rocket/gym is decking out. Oak and bill just make it too easy.
@JaneGray Don't think there won't be attempts at bloodbaths or a civil war. They tried last time, and the worst part is we learned nothing from it. We will stupidly be caught off guard again. I guarantee it.
Word to the wise: Never play a game you love with a #nerd. They will have optimized the game to the point that all of your favorite characters and strategies are complete garbage, and the only way to win is to break your thumbs on the controller, or prevent your opponent from playing at all. Fun was never an option.
