@001zlnv Exactly! I want to give diet soy to Prince Adam, and turn him into a girl. That'll show those redpillers. *nod*

@001zlnv Mr. Fischoeder has proven capable of damn near anything, so I'm not gonna make a statement about that either way.

@001zlnv Landlord patronizing the beach boulevard's facepaint booth, like a perfectly normal gentleman about town. *nod*

Furry ain't getting any more mainstream than this.

(Mr. Fischoeder, the landlord from Bob's Burgers. This, um, isn't uncharacteristic behavior from him, actually.)

@kistaro @anthracite Except that usually it's not that person actively "kicking off the cycle," it's an interested (and often disingenuous and cynical) person of the opposite ideology taking advantage of it.

@Leucrotta Oh, and also: "don't forget to breed more ignorant people for our system to crush up."

Real quote, an extreme of Randianism we've joked about for years but never thought we'd see:

"Parents who endure needless toil and sacrifice are overcharging themselves for every child. "

@Leucrotta His solution? Let business take over more functions from government, because Clearly Democracy Just Doesn't Work.

"Caplan lays out several bold ways to make democratic government work better--for example, urging economic educators to focus on correcting popular misconceptions and recommending that democracies do less and let markets take up the slack."

I hate this man so fucking much.

@Leucrotta Heh. It's funny you should mention that. You wanna talk about cognitive dissonance, look at his OTHER book:

@Thaminga Yup. I honestly just find the whole thing hilarious. This is not someone who was very close anyhow, in degrees-of-separation terms, and I had pretty much written them off ages ago. I just find it very gratifying that I can now go into my emotional vault, and wrap two separate bundles of justified loathing into one tidy little basket labeled "stupid fairy." O:D

One of the great joys of the internet furry culture: finding out that two people you separately loathed for totally separate reasons are actually just different names for the same selfish piece of shit. ^__^

(Someone who was pointlessly mean to Peg once turned out to be the same person who alienated most of a forum I was on with various forms of Social Justice Axe-Murderer behavior. I'm all happy now: technically, that's one less person to hate, and don't we all want that? 😺​)

@anthracite The more I find out about Paul Linebarger, the less I like him and the more fascinating and impressive I find him...

I present you with that most modern of medieval conventions, the hunger stone:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_stone

It's dour. It's doomful. It provides absolutely no useful, actionable information besides "you're screwed." It directs its sarcasm towards all the wrong people. And it's unaware that by its very existence, it actually rests as proof that history marched on and we were NOT in fact all killed by drought.

In other words, it's medieval leftist Twitter.

"It would be naive to depend on the Supreme Court to defend the rights of poor people, women, people of color, dissenters of all kinds. Those rights only come alive when citizens organize, protest, demonstrate, strike, boycott, rebel, and violate the law in order to uphold justice." -- https://progressive.org/op-eds/howard-zinn-despair-supreme-court/

Zinn has a real good point there. Progress was going to come from us, not the system, no matter what.

God, and the blurbs are just an endless parade of shitty people from the AEI and Cato.

I need to spend about a week immersed in the company of people who aren't like him, but... well... that has its own complications right now, and it's all depressing as fuck, and... I think I'm going back to bed. -_-

Wanna shank this reductionist shit. Leave it to an economist to dismiss the ideal of an educated polity with some critical thinking skills as "romantic notions about education being 'good for the soul.'" I guess I could expect no better, since this POS Brian Caplan clearly has no soul of his own to feed.

I wrote him a very nasty letter. Maybe actionable, in this day and age, I don't know. I don't care.

@troodon I think my new nickname for Emperor Stubby (or his GOP shill du jour) is "five hundred rotten apples in a trenchcoat."

For the rest of my life, when I think of Donald Trump, I'll be thinking of Officer Romano... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epI6D8NG4VE

also your butt
