Our government is exceptional at dealing in violence but inept at handling threats that it can't beat, shoot, or bomb into submission.

The societal response and government handling of COVID was not at all reassuring. To the point that I let go of any last remaining shred of hope I had for us to turn this ship around on several metrics (e.g. climate change). And unfortunately I think it has gotten even worse, e.g. with the (at least apparent) increase in anti-vaxxers.

This is Jack's total lack of surprise.

This doesn't seem credible, but if it is Trump just set off a very concerning chain of events.

The wounds from this are absolutely heinous and often fatal. Any relaxation of their containment is a huge unforced error.

Advertising for a fucking war that another nation started. If that's not dystopian, then I don't know what is.

My reaction whenever I see this piece of shit pop up anywhere: I don't like you, jerk-off

Music seems to tap into something very primal and has a significant effect on my mood.

Music is one of my greatest joys in life.

It usually goes something like that. I’d like to point out here that there isn’t a constitutional right to wear pants or eat bacon either.

One could similarly say that the right to wield violence does not mean that you have the right for that violence to actually succeed. Some situations allow for the legal use of deadly force, but that still does not mean the explicit right to kill. If a threat is neutralized and they survive, you can't "make sure" that they don't.
