I’m 56 years old. Which means I’m about to endure my fourth cycle of twenty-something year old dudes discovering the weight room and Ayn Rand shit like they’ve just unlocked Enlightenment itself and by god I’m fucking so tired of it. And now they have podcasts.
I just heard “let me tell you about this criticism of woke culture that I learned in the weight room - there’s this thing called radical responsibility where you own everything that happens to you…” and threw my phone across the room.
I quit Reddit when I was about 56 for this exact reason;
"I’m 56 years old. Which means I’m about to endure my 4th cycle of twenty year old dudes discovering the weight room and Ayn Rand shit like they’ve just unlocked Enlightenment itself and by god I’m fucking so tired of it. And now they have podcasts."
US cops never turn out like this at Nazi rallies or school shootings, but against peaceful genocide protesters they bring their very best A game, huh? (Photo: Robert Gauthier/Los Angeles Times)
@Theblueone
you see they have the authority to kill the protesting minority. the paramilitaries are merely looking for an opportunity to use their paramilitary training. F T P! 😬
Most bullies are cowards at heart. It is no surprise at all that they would prefer to attack peaceful protestors than risk going up against dangerous Nazis or school shooters.
Over at Bluesky Jack Dorsey just shared a podcast promoting RFK jr and Julian Assange, so like, yeah... he still sucks ass and Bluesky is just Twitter 2.0
"In a year in which more than half the world goes to the polls, acclaimed novelist Margaret Atwood asks whether democracy is fragile and easily destroyed or flexible and resilient. This animated monologue is the first of four films examining the state of government, representation, rights and freedom"
@Theblueone Halleluja. Amen!And the truth and nothing but the truth!!!! As I’m saying since years. Guess what, it’s only needed common sense to conclude that.
My 13yr old: What is that?
Me: It's Bluesky.
Her: Is that some ancient thing?
Me: Nope, hot new thing. Want an invite?
Her: Ew. Looks crusty for old people.
Me: Fine, no invite for you. I'm going to skeet this.
Her: You're going to what?
Me: You heard me. Skeet.
Her: [AUDIBLE EYE ROLL]
Me: Fine. I'll just toot this on the elephant app.
Her: [CONFUSED STARE]
Me: You know. Mastodon.
Her: I don't know what you're talking about.
Me: You need to get off TipTop.
Her: It's TIKTOK!
Me: Crusty!
