During Trump’s first term I used to say a pet rock would make a better president. Even truer now.

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Sometimes something sticks out, like a Chekhov’s gun, and you’re just waiting for it to make it’s way back into the story. Not all of the small details, obviously. But you can pick up some things on a single read through that you expect to come back into play… even if you have a horrible memory.

Have you SEEN some of the decisions made by managers and CEOs? Just because your job was actually important doesn’t mean the people who are eliminating it appreciated or were even aware of that fact.

Interesting that you don’t /seem/ to be aware of the invaders’ rapes and racism at all. There’s rape and racism everywhere, literally every single where. But sure, tell me how rapes and racism show the inherent evil of Ukraine… surely the kind of provocation that shows “They were asking for it.” This is coming from a rape survivor, btw, can’t shame me out of using it as a metaphor.

It sure is.

I’ve always compared this invasion to a sexual assault, actually. Aggressors love to say “They were asking for it.”
