Don’t forget Ruport Murdoch who’s been pushing the right wing agenda across the country is an Australian export. This is not unusual from that country honestly.

Fuck them asking you to donate at church. They want the tax dollars to go to private schools operated by their churches.

Oh thank you Ellen for telling us that it’s so much better for you when you took off and left. Those of us lessers who didn’t have the foresite to have enough money to pick up and flee the country now know so much better.

Get fucked.

Fahrenheit 451 is probably my most read book, but then again I grew up in a house where there was a Bradbury book laying around almost always within arms reach. I’ve always said when Bradbury writes, it’s almost poetry, and creates that pacing like where you say the internal audio speeds up and slows down. Of what I’ve called the “dystopian trilogy” of 1984, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451, it seems that one is the least read and I feel is definitely one more people should read because it really looks less on the government and more on the people themselves… and it’s frankly frightening.

But, I feel often Bradbury was an optimist. Unlike many, while Fahrenheit 451 is one of the dystopian novels, it does have hope written into it as well.

Complete aside, my dad was a firefighter, and as I said, I was raised on Bradbury due to him. There’s an artist who made clay dragons, many were incense burners. I saw one where it’s a dragon reading a book, and the incense would come out from its nostrils and pour over the book. I said I’d need to get one for my dad that had Fahrenheit 451 as the book, the artist hadn’t read it before. The next week she had read it, and made one of these dragons where it’s wearing a fire helmet with the 451 on the shield, and the book he’s reading is Dante’s Inferno, and instead of the smoke coming from the nostrils, the hole is hidden by the book so the pages would look like they’re smoking. She caught the feeling of the book with that one, so that’s one of those that has been most prominently on display at my dad’s house since I got it.

Honestly I think the big thing is we’re every day spiraling to Fahrenheit 451. Sure the government at top is doing it now, but these have been calls from the people for years. Beatty’s speech, the villain monologue, feels more and more pertinent.

Fuck that, the lost causers who fell for the southern side of the civil war has been marching this path for over a century. Putin was certainly willing to give us a push out the window but we as a country were half hanging out of it already.

Went to college, roommates were introverts who ate in rooms because my college didn’t have dorms, so just apartments where a bunch of us had spread out. I think the most I ate with others was lunches where there were a lot of people in a student lounge, but that’s one of those not anyone eating together, just where everyone cycled in and out and whoever happened to be eating was eating there.

But being commuter college means that lunch was the only time the dining hall was open so otherwise, pretty much eating on own 90% of the time.

I mean… through the 18-24 area, I pretty much ate every meal alone.

Still do at 38.

I mean, yes, but no, it’s actually worse.

On the federal level, yes, that’s exactly in the case. But the Missouri AG was not put in by the fed, instead elected by the state, who also elected any other fuckwit with an ® next to their name, despite going after the very bills that the state voted on saying we didn’t know what we’re voting for.

Yea, when I moved up here, KC called Kansas “Brownbeckistan” then he got pulled and now Kansas is the “Progressive” state over Missouri…

And that’s with y’all having a veto-proof Republican majority in the legislative branch… holy hell.

God our AG is a fuckwit.

I live in Missouri.

Not gonna argue with you.
