I’ve been noticing Leon has a resting trump face, that look of privileged contempt mixed with boredom

Who the fuck even says shit like that ?!? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The bar for president has been lowered to the point we need to dig to reach the appropriate elevation

That’s always been the easiest way to distill their m.o. – “Fuck you, got mine”

Sometimes i think of wealth disparity in terms of an enormous game of musical chairs. Maybe I’m being naive, but i at least like to think that there’s enough chairs for everyone on the planet to get a seat. People carrying that “fuck you, got mine” mindset are hoarding chairs. The worst offenders are hoarding square miles of chairs. At the end of the day when the shit hits the fan though, everybody only needs/fits on a single chair. All that hoarding for something they’ll never use while denying folks who couldn’t get one at all.

Guess we’ll never know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(I too, was disappointed to get a little ways in before hitting that same wall myself)

If they did, I bet it would be one of those enormous cheques, like on Publishers Clearinghouse

Thank you! Like i said, i figured there’s something I’m missing–that would appear to be it.

It honestly just never occurred to me that such a transformation was allowed/possible. A nonprofit seems to imply something charitable, though obviously that’s not the true meaning of it. Still, it would almost seem like the company benefits from the goodwill that comes with being a nonprofit but then gets to transform that goodwill into real gains when they drop the act and cease being a nonprofit.

I don’t really understand most of this shit though, so I’m probably missing some key component that makes it make a lot more sense.

Also catching a whiff of Woody Allen 🫢

Tell you what though–he can’t hide those inhuman eyes no matter what kinda clown glasses he puts on

Here’s my proposal:

I’ve heard the claim numerous times that people leave a tremendous carbon footprint. Each person would be assigned a certain amount of “carbon credits” that their life is worth, and the value slowly declines as they get older. If they choose to, one can hop in the expiration bin and donate those remaining credits to a cause of their choice: they can give them to their children, family, or friends, donate them to a charity or research group, etc.

I can just imagine the ads where companies try to compel you to take the early-expiration route while relinquishing your credits to them “for the greater good” or some other such nonsense

Children mass-produced for the glorious stream of carbon credits it would award

Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla et al provide “expiration tanks” in convenient places that send the credits directly to them after each “donation”

Wtf i need to go back to sleep, lol

Night night lemmy ✨

Well, yeah! It was settled in court that they’re strictly an entertainment company. It’s the most-watched cable entertainment station that just likes to riff on the news ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well how else is he going to fortify his ridiculous amount of wealth from the unwashed masses?

Maybe that will ensure he behaves all the time ☺️

Not who you responded to, but I appreciate the honesty, lol. Tip of the hat to ya 🤠

Thank you!!! I was going to post this but figured I’d make sure nobody else had already. Terrific taste, Twin Peaks is my all-time favorite tv show 😗🤌

Possibly overrepresented Prominently featured on a couple Frank Zappa albums…

Kidding aside, it’s all a matter of taste! Luckily with Zappa there are tons of flavors to choose from 😆

Tortoise was the first group i heard using them, led me get into some of vibraphonist Cal Tjader’s material and some lesser known vibraphone groups/artists (though Tortoise is much more my speed) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EPqmgY6WTVw

Though she often played marimba, Frank Zappa’s percussionist Ruth Underwood was a monster with the mallets as well… Again not vibraphones in this particular example but anyone who digs them may want to see this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e7Sq0chFjps

Driving a manual in traffic sucks, even worse when you start getting a cramp in your clutch foot while in said traffic. I loved driving manual but i don’t miss it when i remember those days
