Wow. Breeda Wool is fucking fantastic in this. Goddamn.

Gas Cap
That is well-done. Great acting from the two leads.
Remi Live!
She’s like Olivia Rodrigo filtered through Motown and Kesey (as far as absurd levels of talent). Love her too.
Song Soc
She does that really well and has a pretty good knowledge of music for someone so young. Not too surprising since she writes her own songs and someone who isn’t interested in music won’t be much good without that.
She calls herself a “country pumpkin” at 5:34! Now that’s a damn cute solecism as much as I usually dislike those. After all, where else do we use the word “bumpkin?” Nowhere. And we often call those we love some variation of “pumpkin.”
Now every time I see her I will probably think of her dressed as a pumpkin, though.
Speaking of:
Farm It In
This never happens when I go to the farmer’s market, dammit.
Die MF Die
Enough anti-vax people are dying of Covid in purple counties to swing close elections.
Now that’s funny.
Life Advice
Practice saying a good “Fuck you” and then call up the landlord and loudly say “Fuck you” into the phone and then hang up.
Done! Problem solved.
Theatrical
It's unconscionable. https://t.co/ZdCSNZ24tw

Good. Time to stop pretending the vaccines don’t work. Why are people like Catherine so very invested in that? I will never understand.
God it’s fun to watch the lockdown lifers cry.
Lingo
Me: I wish I knew many other languages so I could read all the books in those languages that haven’t been translated or were obviously poorly translated.
Also me: Which of the books on my 5,000-book-long “to read” list should I start next?*
*Yes, I do really have a “to read” list that is about 5,000 books long.
Grrrrrr
You’re damn right, motherfucker!
Arrow to the Face
Man: You have the quiver on backwards in your photo.

Talk about a fucking smackdown. I’d be deleting my account if I were that clueless idiot.
But those types never learn.

So…can we get started on this soon? Please?
Believers In Me
Uh oh, you trusted the experts but now the experts of different disciplines are disagreeing and you have no ability to balance their competing priorities without conceding that your technocratic managerial worldview was fatally flawed
— F!nn (@finnitejest) September 10, 2021
Righto. There is no scientific answer to values and priorities. None. Not for Covid, not for anything. “Believe science” is nonsense (for a whole variety of reasons) and it doesn’t work to determine what anyone should do, nor can it ever. “Believe science” can be used to support anything from farming organs from still-living people to ritual human sacrifice to wearing ornamental chickens on top of your head.
And meanwhile STEM goofuses claim we don’t need philosophy.
Sex Before
Sex can relieve nasal congestion.
I have found that, too. And can forestall a migraine if you have sex at just the right time before one hits, but can tell it’s on the way.
Capital’s Offenses
OH: the reason lgbt stuff is so promoted by techno capital is it encourages people to become the ideal atomized consumer.

I agree. This is apart from the rights that all LGBT people should have by virtue of being human. Why techno capital is so enamored of LGBT initiatives is it’s a way to make individuals see themselves as their own sovereigns, part of no real cohesive group (while in reality being siloed into a group that capital can classify), thus allowing marketing and propaganda pushes to work as well and as predictably as possible.
Expanding beyond that, there is no reason that in a world and with technology so drastically altered that capitalism is the best system. Or socialism. Or communism. There are whole scads of systems that we haven’t even tried — haven’t even thought of — that we could now apply with our drastically altered informational and sociocultural environment. We’ll probably not try these systems, I admit. But we should.
