watching the world end and shouting into the void

SUICIDE IN TRENCHES I KNEW a simple soldier boy Who grinned at life in empty joy, Slept soundly through the lonesome dark, And whistled early with the lark. In winter trenches, cowed and glum With crumps and lice and lack of rum, He put a bullet through his brain. No one spoke of him again. * You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye Who cheer when soldier lads march by, Sneak home and pray you'll never know The hell where youth and laughter go. 1917
kev joon @never_oppressed Hey man, I'm really sorry for inexplicably punching you in the face. I just wanted to preempt the future possibility of you punching me first. If you think about it you're actually the violent one here.
amara lissie @freewildstrawberries What sucks is that life could be *so* easy, so fucking easy. There is so much stuff rotting in storage units, in garages, nearly half of all food goes to waste, there's enough clothing for the next *6* generations! We don't even need to be working really at all, our ancestors broke down their bodies to build all this shit, the least we could do is slow down to actually utilize and fairly distribute it all. Instead, we all suffer endlessly while 8 men control half the world's wealth. Fuck

sixthousandbees: Thought about "Humans are space orcs/ space fae". There was a line talking about how theres a human working on a ship but no-one’s entirely sure if they're meant to be there, but they didn't want to like offend the terrifying space orc. What if the "drifter" archetype continues into space? Like maybe we negotiated for free travel with one of our allies, but because humans come from a death world and are terrifying, and because humans can be oblivious, we just assume we can board on any ship going anywhere, nbd? like not as stowaways. we're not hiding. Like those wolves and wild dogs in russia that use the railways. Are YOU going to tell a wolf they shouldn't be riding the train?!? Thought not.

• ViperThreat 11111 points 5 hours Worked as an on-call computer tech for about a year, and I've seen some weird shit. Plenty of Hoarders, elderly men with interesting sexual fantasies, Multimillonaire Lawyers with closets full of gay porn, etc. The weirdest one was this cool old dude who had retired and lived in a double-wide trailer in a fairly nice retirement trailer park. His house had one of those trains that traveled along the walls from room to room, occasionally poking through walls and such. The primary purpose of this train was to carry his bird (a blue macaw IIRC) around the house. From his explanation, the bird had some birth defects and had difficulty flying, so they built the train for the bird to cruise around the house on. This may not sound all that weird to you, but let me set the stage for you: You're a college student removing a stupid browser hijack from some old guy's computer. You're nearly done with the job when you hear a clacking sound and look up to see a toy train crossing your vision. Aboard the train is a decently sized bird that makes eye contact with you and says "choo choo motherfucker" before disappearing into the next room. One of the most surreal moments of my life.
sparrf i keep thinking about that tribe of baboons where all the alpha males died from eating poison garbage and then the baby boy monkeys were taken care of by the lady monkeys and never got socialized to be aggressive so they all just live peacefully and groom eachother instead of fighting and killing eachother and its been generations of that, it only took 1 wipeout of the aggressive males to change the whole social order of the species i am crying they must be so much happier theclassykindoftrasy ...l have an idea. geoclaire don't we all fluffmugger You're missing half the story. When adolescent males from other groups came to join, they learned very rapidly that being an arsehole baboon was not f tolerated, and completely stopped the behaviour and integrated with the group. Arseholes only thrive when you let them. fromchaostocosmos does anyone have some poisoned garbage

I don't know what word in the English language-I can't find one-that applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly overstuffed pockets. The word "evil" doesn't begin to approach it. ~ Noam Chomsky ~
Email to opm Subject: 5 bullet points Hi Elon! Well I'm in Australia but I figured your ego won't let you stop at ruining one country, so here's what I did last week. 1: I shared a couple photos of you pre-hair transplant and jaw surgery. Are you sure you have the best genetic material to be spread around the world? 2: I ordered a thousand "don't buy a swatzicar" stickers 3: I admired your daughter Vivian's posts. I guess at least one kid survived your genes 4: I nick-named your youngest "Kevlar" on Reddit, got a few upvotes 5: I enjoyed knowing that this is the turning point of history; the darkest part of humanity is being illuminated for the whole world to see, and in a few years at best, you'll either be in prison for decades or dead and forgotten at the hands of one of your many victims. Sweet dreams :)
Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo: If we teach that the founding of the United States of America was somehow flawed. It was corrupt. It was racist. That's really dangerous. It strikes at the very foundations of our country. Jamaal Bowman @JamaalBowmanNY: Counterpoint: It's dangerous to teach our children that men who held, raped, and killed slaves were somehow not corrupt, racist, or flawed Twitter exchange I found on reddit Subreddit: MurderedByWords Title: Found this on Facebook

Guys, I am seriously freaked out by the fact that I JUST WOKE UP WITH A LARGE FOX SITTING ON MY CHEST AND NIBBLING ON MY FINGER LIKE A CHEW TOY. I feel like there's a Japanese folktale about this and there's something | need to do or else I'll be drowned by an angry daimyo. put some salami outside the back door for him to eat instead of me. The weird thing is, the cats weren't afraid of him at all. And if I could smell him with my chain smoking dead olfactory nerves, they damn sure could, but Luna didn't even chase him or freak out. This is possibly the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me in my life. I've seen wild animals a lot, especially in Montana and Wyoming when I lived up there, but l've never had one chew on me with his wee tiny fox tees. I don't think this is a normal occurrence in London.

I think, every year, the richest person in the world should be sacrificed and their wealth distributed to the poorest among us. The rest of the year would be billionaires scrambling to distribute their wealth in an attempt to ensure they aren't the one to pushed out into the ocean next year.
