El Chamoy! El Chamoooooooy…!

Garth Brooks is the Kenny G of country?

192·20 days agoThe fact of the matter is that if Democrats had been elected, there would have been no invasion of Venezuela, nor Iraq two decades ago.
Let us not kid ourselves. Non-voting eligible American voters let trump take the reins again, with control of Congress and the Supreme Court, knowing he could pull shit like this at any moment, yet still sat on their lazy asses TWO Election Days, fondling their purity, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL, and now they’re like… “C’mon Schumer… dazzle me and my most excellent purity over here!”
Elections have huge consequences, so spare us the righteous outrage. Whatever blood gets spilled, it’s also on those soft, tender, lily-white hands of non-voting deadweights.
Also, twice is a pattern: “Vote for a woman?!! Me?!! When PIGS FLY!!!”

7·1 month agoHaving read the original Foundation Trilogy twice, I can give a heartfelt stamp of approval to the BBC radio play of it, apparently it’s from 1977, I had assumed it was at least half a decade older than that. Hope you enjoy, I surely did.
It seems my mind fine-tuned the phrase without me noticing it, for years I’ve thought of it as:
"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained bystupidityincompetence."It hits a little harder, I think, because incompetence should be vincible, a condition that can be overcome, implying that it’s a choice, a lazy indifferent choice, a mediocrity.
Not the hero we need…

Hey look… it’s that guy from Hawkwind!
Badly Cropped Gonzo Memes should be a thing!
El cuitlaccoche! Just this past summer I had blue corn tortillas wrapped around cheese and cuitlacoche, with a subtle tomato-based sauce on top, and let me tell ya, this was an umami paradise, like Mexico’s answer to the French savory crepe, but they are not fighting for supremacy, they inhabit neighboring culinary kingdoms and share similarities, but they unmistakably inhabit different lands.
It’s really popping right now.
Well… since most of the big ones are taken, I’ll throw in:
“Tu madre era una hamster, y tu padre olía a saúco.”EDIT: Actually, now that I remember, the Spanish from Spain have some breathtaking insults, such as:
“Me cago en la leche de tu madre” - “I shit in your mother’s milk”.

It bears mentioning that none of this would have been necessary if people have gone out and VOTED in numbers like these.
Instead they first passively threw a tantrum enabling this Gestapo, now their country is a global pariah, not to be trusted again, while expending so much more energy, experiencing much more inconvenience and risk than voting, just to send a symbolic message to sociopaths who have the power, enjoy abusing it, and do NOT care to listen.
Which is to say: this is meaningless, voting is everything and you blew it yet again. But people insist on wanting to be inspired by one godking figurehead, refusing to understand how consistently voting just one day a year, in presidentials, midterms and off-years, is how political momentum is built or eroded, how a government is not one godking president, but an entire system with hundreds of thousands of civil servants, elected, appointed and hired, at every level of government, momentum builds slowly.
If Democrats ever win again, it will be with one hand tied behind their back, facing right-wing sabotage every step of the way, just as has happened every time since Jimmy Carter, and if they can’t wave a magic political wand and fix this unfixable mess in one go, the oh-so-precious impatient electorate is going to throw yet another destructive tantrum and back to square minus five or worse.
