So we’re fully blacklisting anyone who speaks up against the violence now, huh?

Really? Mine’s holding steady.

Well luckily this won’t be a problem since we won’t have the money, space of career stability to have kids until we’re 40 anyway. By then they’ll have no choice but to retire.

True. Gotta break out of that habit. My friends are starting quarterly block parties in our neighborhood. We can get back to it but we probably need to stop using social media so much.

Gotta rebuild our community support networks. There are obstacles but it seems solvable.

What’s stopping communal childcare from becoming a thing again? This is how working parents did it for thousands of years.

Oh! That makes sense. A nice sentiment for what must have been a beautiful tree.

I hate to have to tell you but this is staged. The tree is an oak and the flowers look like azalea flowers someone stuck on.

Agreed. Even though I think voting is the right thing to do, forcing people to vote is an infringement on their freedom and I don’t think it’s justified.

Most neighborhoods have HOAs nowadays. It can be hard to avoid.

My sense is that most Americans just dismiss this stuff as political nonsense and don’t pay attention to it. They don’t realize how many people, including them, might be affected in the future.

His dumbass supporters love to LARP about being revolutionaries, meanwhile this is literally one of the issues we fought the American Revolution over.

Is this an eastern redcedar? If so, it should be cold hardy enough for Wisconsin I think.

To me the top doesn’t look dead, but I’m not sure what’s causing the color difference. Perhaps it’s just maturing? If it’s still soft and pliable I would assume it’s OK.

Probably at least try lol. But I’m not sure we’ll have quite the political monopoly the boomers did as we’re proportionately smaller and also I think more diverse, so we have less of a singular vision for politics.

This debate is so silly because the real cause has to do with economic conditions and not the small policy differences between Kamala and Bernie or whoever the left wanted.

Culturally irrelevant in terms of what? I think we’ll be culturally relevant until we die, just like previous generations. For example, despite their age, boomers have dominated politics for almost my entire life.

They have as much authority as they can get away with claiming. Since the president is brazenly defying laws, courts, and the constitution, there’s no reason states shouldn’t push for more autonomy, even if that autonomy may be legally contentious.

But really that’s beside the point. If the state government is too afraid to take a meaningful stand on this, they should focus their attention on other pressing issues instead of passing meaningless laws that make people feel better without materially changing anything.

unless they are mobilized by the president.

So is this purely performative or is there some case where this would somehow be relevant?

Loud cars. So fucking lame.

Finally, my moment has come.

But also, I love this guy:
