Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Phorm @trouffee Just for comparison, it took me like FOUR -- and that's discounting the outright inept ones I bailed on pretty quickly -- doctors to start being taken even remotely seriously about my ADD and fatigue issues... Keep pushing, and best of luck!

@LexYeen I mean, it's realer than Wall Drug, the House on the Rock, or the state of Montana, but that's a VERY low bar...

@LeDiva I can't hear "Party of Lincoln" without thinking of the TMBG album.

@LexYeen I've stopped in Weed, CA and I do not concur. :D

I'm gonna start openly advocating for the death of Buzz Windrip. Because I know MAGAs reliably can't detect literary references.

@Momentrabbit I know this is probably the wrong message to send, but we talked it over with the other Martians and for this distinguished act of defiance against an uncooperative physical object we would like to award you this authentic tiger stripe. <3

@ThatGenieProblem @Phorm Yeah, I will say that Biden refusing ANY notion of putting the country before his ego has reversed most of the optimism I was getting from the surprise wins in the UK and France. Their good guys won in both cases because of a strong alliance between far-left and center-left and... nope, we're gonna be Americans about this one. *smirk*

@Phorm I got a busy workweek (and a Thomas Dolby concert and the Longlegs premiere :D ), and zero guarantees on this, but if I get some time this weekend I will try to sit down with that video myself and get you some concrete details on what's going on behind the scenes... Beau was actually kinda pissed that even that much had leaked, so I suspect I can find more if I dig...

@Phorm Have I recommended Beau of the Fifth Column on Youtube? He's posted some VERY reassuring stuff lately, and one of his recent videos covers some recent leaks that indicate the DNC definitely has plans to counter Trump-- they are just wisely keeping a low profile. Whether those measures are sufficient or competent, only time will tell and I do share your cynicism-- but I can promise you they *do* exist, hun. It's a tactical move. <3

While I remain stalwart and hopeful, my cynicism level has been upgraded from "Network" to "Catch-22." At this rate, it's quite possible it'll be at "Strangelove" or higher by November.

Only an equal or greater farce can save us now. I remain hopeful only because the prospects of farce seem exceptionally good right now.

@Phorm At least please wait and see if we get a Free City of New Orleans or something out of this. <3 Also, don't forget the rather high odds that the GOP will be stuck pulling a full Weekend At Bernie's with that demonic fuckball. <3

I am definitely not taking any major actions based on my socio-existential woes until at least January. My inner Eristic Sage notes that the potential for both destructive and creative chaos is at record-setting levels right now-- especially with their candidate/messiah decaying FAST.

@KinkyTurtle Wait, wait, I got it! It's Tblanta!

@KinkyTurtle Tblisi?

@Chip_Unicorn Aww, what the heck, we'll get 'em an honorary membership. We admire the commitment.

@Charlotte @Phorm Thirded. <3

@woozle Smacked that one SmartLawyer guy for ya, Terran comrade. Did I miss an actual rebuttal to your point, or was that "What's insane is that this happens daily with him. Whenever he doesn't pull a lid or take a vacation" supposed to *be* the point that was so condescendingly obvious?

@anthracite @mawr Either of you want a reference, I know some highly placed people* in the cat industry.

*yes it's just Shadow

@Leucrotta i'm sorry i can't pretend these are not fine options nor that i do not envy you a bit (not that NOLA doesn't have very good burger options, my bike's just in the shop and they're out of range for now ;_;)
