I've been dealing with evil people for a long time, and I used to be on my own with it. What I can tell you, since I'm still here, is they're paper tigers. The are masters of manipulating cowardice and greed, but have no idea how to handle strength. Even the slightest show of courage from people without privilege or weapons scares them shitless-- and it shocks them! Show an evil person courage a thousand times, and they're still shocked the thousand and first. They never learn.They are weak.

Most people have at least witnessed the fallout of an abusive relationship and it's the same as when a victim leaves: the abuser is just stunned. How could this happen?They never account for courage because it is not in them.Putin and Co. understand the cowardice and weakness of the US elite, but cannot begin to understand the people who are rising up all over the country. They wouldn't do it, so they didn't think we would.Are they ever in for some unpleasant surprises.

Anyway, I gotta go! It's a national day of action against ICE and I've got a bridge to protest on.

Jamie Fucking Raskin. Always out there stopping gun reform, demolishing parts of the White House, illegally building a ballroom with bribe money and staging an assassination attempt to try to get people to like it.

You are not mocking this event ENOUGH, and neither am I. We've got to do better.

@Gargron It gets even worse with that. I remember first seeing Hummer cologne at the mall with my then boyfriend, who's an Army vet. He was like, "What TF does it smell like, axle grease?"And Hummer is STILL coming out with colognes that help women know which guys to avoid. I suppose I should be grateful.https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Hummer/Hummer-4328.html

They grow up and become ungovernable so fast! 🥲 Kids in the UK are drawing on fake mustaches to bypass internet age verification, and it works. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/one-third-of-uk-children-successfully-circumvent-online-age-verification/

@Jorsh "Oh, if only these tech bros had just been treated better in high school, maybe they wouldn't be such sociopaths!"First off, they aren't real nerds. They are cosplay nerds who think social dysfunction = genius.Second off, a bunch of us real nerds got treated badly and cared about people who were treated even worse. It's nice because that way you don't become a Nazi.

@catsalad The bee alarm pheromone is identical to a flavor compound in bananas. Do NOT smell like bananas around bees.https://blythewoodbeecompany.com/blogs/news/put-down-that-banana-beekeeper

@catsalad They also like the color blue. I was once taking out my flattened cardboard while wearing a blue outfit and some smelly floral lotion. Unbeknownst to me, a bunch of bees were hanging around the dumpsters. They weren't enraged like they would be with the banana smell, but they were so interested in me that I had to drop my cardboard and run for it.
