The world is a fucked up place. Everywhere you look you’ve got dictators and wanna be autocrats trying to rule over the peasants. A lot of them are spending time making more serfs just so they can rule over them. There isn’t one singular source of this rise of totalitarianism. There are some major ones.… Continue reading Drained

The Death of the Cashier
Cashiers don’t get paid much. Truthfully, it’s a pretty low paying job but it’s a job all the same. It’s regular, and you can get one anywhere with little to no skills other than the ability to pick up an item and scan a bar code then ask the customer if they want to sign… Continue reading The Death of the Cashier
Todd Lakey: The Only Good Pregnant Woman Is A Dead One
The sponsor of the bill to strip women of their rights and freedoms over their own body said it quite plainly: The [Anti-Woman] bill’s sponsor, Republican state Senator Todd Lakey, said during one debate that the health of the mother “weighs less, yes, than the life of the child”, referring to the foetus.” -BBC Todd… Continue reading Todd Lakey: The Only Good Pregnant Woman Is A Dead One
Woke
Woke is an interesting term. Prior to the modern conservative obsession with it, the word had a definition that made sense. Woke was a slang term for people that understood the systematic historical oppression of racial inequality. They woke up and saw the racial injustice. That was all it was. I don’t love the term,… Continue reading Woke
The Way We Were
Progressives are nearly always right. Conservatives are nearly always wrong. It’s built into the language of politics. Progressives want progress. Progress heavily implies improvement. In political terms that improvement is across a large swath of the population. They do not currently ‘have’. Conservatives don’t want progress. They want to conserve what they have because it’s… Continue reading The Way We Were
OPSEC
If you google OPSEC you will find: Operational security (OPSEC) is a security and risk management process that prevents sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands. What this means to most people is, “don’t fuck around with classified information, or else.” For many of us the “or else” can mean anything from losing your job… Continue reading OPSEC
ACAB
I’ve been saying for a while that All Cops Are Bastards. This isn’t something I came to quickly. As a teen, I believed most were good, but there were bad apples. The last decade has brought me around on that to the position that there aren’t one or two bad apples, but rather one or… Continue reading ACAB
thoughts on War
Not surprisingly the stupidest chunk of our country is pro Russia. Thier own words suggest it’s because they have more in common with and respect for putin than biden. In my estimation it’s because they will side with anything to see biden and the democrats lose. How American. For evidence see thier continued suppirt for… Continue reading thoughts on War
GOP: The Party Of Death Over Reason
Masking helps prevent getting sick. Most people don’t want to get sick. But for some asinine reason the GOP has gotten the “stupid” virus from their former leader and become as stupid as possible. Masking can save lives, save suffering, save money but the GOP instead prefers to weaponize the act as a way to… Continue reading GOP: The Party Of Death Over Reason
The Delight Of Nothing Extraordinary
No one will deny that, for the past half decade, the news has been toxic. Literally toxic. Like eating moldy food toxic. Like huffing bleach toxic (former presidential opinions non-withstanding). Toxic. I might even say virulent, but that’s too soon. Yes the world is not in good shape: wars, floods, famine, terror, brutality, sickness, and… Continue reading The Delight Of Nothing Extraordinary
