#everyone was harmed in the making of this video

[thebreakfastgenie]

I saw this video that tried to explain why leftists hate Democrats more than Republicans and this person tried to frame Republicans as the abusive parent and Democrats as the enabler parent. I didn’t buy that shit for a millisecond. There are so many fucked up implications with that analogy but the biggest ones were that in most cases of an abusive parent, the 2nd parent is often a victim of the abuse who tries to protect the kids. And then there’s the other major issue where they continue to make excuses for the bad shit caused by Republicans. As someone who had to deal with a physically abusive piece of shit excuse of a parent and one parent who did everything they could to protect me from that asshole, to say I’m disgusted by that person and everyone who agrees with them would be an understatement. How the hell can they be aware of Republicans are the ones who are actively harming them and still decide to make things harder for Democrats who actually tries to make things better to the point of letting Republicans have more power? The only saving graces about this is there were some commenters calling them out on their idiocy and rational left leaning bloggers like you have helped me deal with the current situation.

And it's inherently flawed to be angrier at the enabler parent like I get why it happens but which one is hitting you? And I'm a lot more sympathetic to an abuse victim having that kind of psychology than I am to people making political decisions. I think the domestic violence metaphor has its uses but it's limited and I always feel kind of icky invoking domestic violence like that so I just try to avoid it.

May your hardened heart be woken By the soft and distant song Of all you left here unspoken All the shards we keep stepping on - Take this body home Take this body home Call the wind, and let her know Take this life outgrown Take this broken soul Call the stars, call them all And take it high, take it far, take it home

I see so so many videos and comments and discussion from people including artists expressing grievance and cringing in one way or another at modern and performance art, and all I can think is damn. That sort of art is really goddamn effective when it gets this much publicity and attention from people trying to cope because it gets under their skin so easily and not realizing the irony

At this point there's no modern or performance art I don't respect (other than ones that cause harm to animals 😐) just for being able to so effortlessly get reactions out of people. Like the "who's afraid of yellow, red and blue" paintings that to most people look like solid boring colors, 'how in the world is that art?' and all that, and yet, fittingly for its name, it gets vandalized (and is also impossible to restore because no one can replicate the intricate technique of the author). Some things never change. Godspeed modern and performance artists

Limited Life Session 3 in a nutshell

[iliveinprocrasti-nationn]

i’m so frustrated with people’s lack of common sense about wildlife. if you’re interacting with wildlife, you’re not having your disney princess moment. you’re not forming a magical bond. that’s a wild animal who is potentially terrified; maybe it’s curious if it’s young enough, but that just means you should minimise interactions as much as possible to make sure that animal lives a normal life. if your kid comes in holding a wild animal, don’t pick up your fucking phone to videotape it. bring the animal back outside and educate your kid to leave animals alone. you know what happens when you take in wildlife as a ���pet”? either you keep it and do damage because even though it’s “tame” it’s a wild animal who is in no way meant to live in that setting unless it’s being kept by a trained and licensed rehabber who knows the housing and feeding requirements (and even then i’ve seen some who are keeping animals irresponsibility), or it ends up at a wildlife rehab when you inevitably harm it enough that you don’t know what to do, or when no vets see you, or when the animal becomes too aggressive for you to handle. and then we either figure out how to rehabilitate an animal whose temperament and/or body you have massively damaged or we euthanise it because the damage is too extensive. start treating wildlife like wild animals rather than a dog or cat. they’re not pets, they’re not domesticated, leave them alone and let them live happy lives as they’re supposed to.

I want to make horsepiss theories like that Matpat guy did. It was iconic. I wish to bring the same amount of pain & suffering to this world.

Here's a screenshot of the Wikipedia page about this ongoing strike, to help clarify dates for anyone not displaying post dates on their dash or having glitches with the post dates shown (glitches happen to me fairly often, which is why I looked it up). This screenshot was taken on August 23rd, 2024.

After a year and a half of contract negotiations, Video game performers are on strike.
