The nukes get renamed to "Miku Miku Beams".

Menstrual Clown nudity could be a band name, a tumblr username, or a w3w address.

Elon Musk's transphobia is going to endanger us all, and not just in trans rights, because he actively meddles in public discourse with his ownership of Twitter.

Right so causalities in car crashes, and no actual deaths, and you don't have any evidence of deaths caused by these protests, only hypotheticals.

I think you have been swept up in the outrage machine drummed up by the newspapers around JSO, which oil companies and the government are using to crack down on dissent and protests by making it easier to arrest people for protests and silence people on behalf of oil companies. You know, the same people who want you to think that Climate Change is a "ever in the future" problem.

but when your “peaceful protest” is causing deaths by causing car crashes and delaying ambulances I think you both deserve some sort of repercussions and to lose the right to call it a peaceful protest

How many people were killed by ambulances being delayed and car crashes due to protests exactly? Genuinely curious.

So fun fact: In the UK, elections and votes are always on a Thursday because it was the furthest day from Saturday (when people went to the pub) and Sunday (when people went to church, this rule was instituted when people were more religious).

Now my local polling place was my local school (which changed with Covid because they didn't want to interrupt education even more) so when I was a kid when there was an election we always got election day off. :)

Fuck that shit.

Yeah but you see, the suburbs vote for the people in power.

You have my curiosity, I wanna know your workflow.

Since I moved from a red state to Colorado it’s been mind blowing how painless and accessible it is to vote in this state.

I think that is something we need to stress here: A lot of people in America don't vote not because they are apathetic but because, well, they often don't have access because they have to work and can't get time off, and it doesn't help that certain states cut and limit the amount of voting places to prevent people from voting.

I remember seeing the images from Georgia in 2020 where there were queues around the block, hell, some fucking states have laws preventing people from offering water for people waiting in line, knowing that people will be waiting in line for a long time. And the fact the places where those polling stations tend to be set up in ways to stop certain demographics from voting is another thing. There's laws there to prevent students from voting in some states, there's laws making it hard to vote by mail, you fucking name it.

Meanwhile in the UK, I just had to fill in a PDF form and send it to my local valuation office and I could get a postal vote. No restrictions on who can do this, you can just apply.

When the world goes to shit, you get good music, but when the world really goes to shit, you get good poetry.

I have family on the Isle of Man so maybe the Manx flag?
