Hi everyone, I'm still alive but I stopped using this platform. Maybe I'll start checking it more though because I miss a lot of you. What has everyone been up to? Here's my face for tax.

To those of you that couldn’t bring yourself to vote for Hillary although she was far more qualified. That kept calling her β€œthe lesser of two evils.” That blamed her for the indiscretions of her husband. That let misogyny rule. How ya like this Supreme Court? Things to remember. Third-party candidates can not and will not win. Sitting it out is a vote for Trump. If you want to play games go to an arcade. The rest of us want to save democracy. Want to save yourselves and your children from mass shootings? Want to give women their uterus’ back? Want to save libraries? Want to recognize and embrace the LGBTQ+ community? Want to learn about African American history? Want to embrace equality, equity, and diversity? Stop fucking playing vote Biden/Harris. #DemsUnited

Fun fact: Since 1995, there have been 5 major government shutdowns. The GOP controlled the House for all 5 of them. Stop giving these idiots power.

A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read: β€œWhy do some British people not like Donald Trump?” A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think β€˜Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: β€’ Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. β€’ You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: β€˜My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.” -Nate White

Occasionally, you’ll hear someone say, β€œDamn. How could someone like Rudy Giuliani fall so far?! He was such a respectable guy at one time!” Don’t you dare fall for that. Rudy is who he’s always been. Trump just put him in situations that revealed his true nature. You don’t β€œsuddenly” turn into a career criminal in your seventies. You don’t.

Let me make sure I have the conservative mentality straight: 17 year-olds are not mature enough for gender care but can carry AR15s into a riot? The gov't shouldn't mandate vaccines but it SHOULD mandate that a girl gives birth? There shouldn't be pride flags in a classroom because not everyone agrees but the 10 commandments should be posted even though not everyone agrees? Women shouldn't get breast reductions but they should get breast enhancements, nose jobs, and liposuction? Kids shouldn't read books about violence and sexual activity unless it's the Bible? Institutional racism and misogyny don't exist because white men say so? I got this right?

Republicans LIED when they said they wouldn't send girls and women to prison for having an abortion.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Burgess was sentenced for burning and burying a fetus she aborted. She was not charged under Nebraska’s abortion law despite ending her pregnancy after 20 weeks. Investigation started in June 22, before SCOTUS’ decision, and before state lawmakers enacted a 12-weeks ban. cnn.com/2023/07/20/us/… nypost.com/2023/07/20/neb… axios.com/2023/07/20/neb…

I was trying to set up my capture card with the Nintendo switch again to stream Zelda TotK, but the audio refuses to show up to the PC no matter what I do. This has always been a pain with the avermedia livegamer HD 2 capture card in the past, but now no workarounds are working.
