I don't know what I'm doing, but can you please just play along

i think every news headline from now on should end with ‘What does it portend?’

"I'm still kicking" is such a funny way to say "I'm still alive". Like lol. I'm still thrashing. Flailing. Writhing even. The violence remains.

“meme” is now the generic term for “stuff on the internet” btw. funny comments on Reddit? memes. funny posts on Tumblr? memes. Good tiktoks? oxymoron, but memes. Your great aunt’s anti-vax conspiracy theories on Facebook? memes. The homepage of The New York Times? memes, baby!

“It’s all memes?”

“Always has been”

Need to investigate the flooding situation on my dash lately

I think the main problem with modern adaptation retellings of ancient mythology is the common want to depict gods and heroes as good, noble people who would somehow aknowledge 21st century ideas of morality. I do believe that you could make a TV show with the Ancient Greek Pantheon as modern human characters, but you'd have to set it up like one of those trashy 2000s MTV reality tv shows about messy rich kid jackasses acting like messy rich kid jackasses.

An episode where Zeus is at a night club, dressed way too flashy and trendy for a middle-aged man with multiple adult children, unsuccessfully trying to hit on a clearly newly 18-year-old girl who is visibly uncomfortable and has no clue how to get rid of him politely.

Then all hell breaks loose and there's shaky cam fighting as bouncers are trying to throw both Zeus, the camera man, and Hera out of the establishment, as Hera is trying to drunkenly throw a chair at the poor girl, inconherently screaming something about little sluts trying to steal her man.

“start your free trial now” what if i told u i am already experiencing trials. and the cost is more than i can bear

It's hard to say this without sounding like a right wing dickhead, but the thing about progressive spaces is that they may naturally attract people who are always on the lookout for excuses to start a fight. Like you can find yourself faced with someone whose political outrage is totally justified, and whose humanitarian ideals are right on the money, but simultaneously they are carrying a ton of psychological baggage about being wronged and getting revenge, and they will exploit literally any opportunity to live out this psychodrama with anyone in their line of vision. I have thought of several related anecdotes since I started typing this post, but I'll limit myself to the thing that inspired it, which is that I just visited this ultra-lefty cafe/bike shop/community gathering space where I've heard that the proprietor is constantly in a fight with everyone around her. When I paid for my stuff I noticed that there was no tip option, but I thought I had heard something about this, so I snuck away to look at the website and it made me really glad I didn't ask! I think there should have been a really enticing and exciting way for her to say "I've decided to be the change I want to see in the world, so I'm paying my baristas a full living wage, I'm making sure EVERYONE feels welcome and comfortable here, and I'm selling products I believe in!" -- but instead all the web copy sounded more like "You're either with me or against me, you're a fucking piece of shit asshole if you can't handle the inclusive atmosphere here, and by the way tipping is for fascist cavemen and if you ever try to tip someone you are refusing to relate to them authentically and you are enforcing a dangerous and evil power dynamic that should be purged from human society (so therefore I pay my staff well)." Like everything she stood for was totally agreeable, but why did she have to put it like it was directed at her worst enemy, rather than at the kinds of people she wants to attract? If the word on the street is to be believed, the reason for this posturing is that she spends quite a lot of energy making as many enemies as possible, and she probably likes it that way. I guess I'm just reminding myself, and perhaps others, that while one might think of "politics" as being broadly social and theoretical, no individual can fully separate the political from the intimately personal. Even somebody who seems to want to uplift and protect their fellow humans may be getting some perverse inner satisfaction out of that valiant crusade, and you may never realize it until you find yourself in a confusing fight with them.

we remember reading an article about animal rights protestors in the 80s and one of the protestors being interviewed was saying "yeah some of the people here don't gaf about animal rights, they just want an excuse to scream in other people's faces"
