Hang around a dive bar and look for people who work in kitchens.

Starve your kid or lose them. That’s quite a choice for a poor parent to make.

My late father grew up in an orphanage because my grandfather was too poor to care for 5 kids and a sick wife. My grandparents were able to take the kids home on Sundays though, so it wasn’t a situation where they yielded full custody. I’m not saying an orphanage was ideal, but it’s a shame that these days there is not the same kind of middle ground where kids can be cared for but still stay connected to their family. I guess that is too much of a social safety net for conservatives to tolerate.

I once saw a local Zillow listing with a very graphic gay bdsm shower curtain. So you can buy that somewhere, but that’s a Google search I am not about to make for you.

I, Frankenstein

CGI filled brainless action with demons and gargoyles fighting a secret war. Aaron Eckhart as Frankenstein is stuck in the middle. The whole thing tries to copy the vibe of Underworld and mostly fails. Somehow I still love watching it. It’s just the right kind of bad for me.

Empire Records.

I make references from that movie all the time and nobody ever gets it. Doesn’t stop me.

I use this one and it is awesome.

Free mental health care for those struggling the most plus housing subsidies for those struggling to stay off the street due to mental illness.

One of the social factors that most limits procreation is the education of women. If advanced education is available and encouraged, the age a woman has their first child is pushed back. As fertile years are limited for women, this reduces their potential numbers of children. On top of that, educated women often seek careers which often further reduces their active reproductive years. This is why developed countries usually have much lower birthrates than underdeveloped countries.

Yeah! They’ll have to hit “delete all” on their voicemail extra hard!

Chance the “Socialism” label on the bus to “Fascism” and the comic would still work.

Apparently Saudi Arabia has 441 McDonalds franchises.

I figure the world is right about where it was in 1936.

It’s sad that I had to clock through to see which mass killing of children they were referring to.

MKUltra was a secret government program that experimented on people using LSD and torture. The man who became the Unabomber was one of its victims.

COINTELPRO was a series of covert and illegal projects conducted between 1956 and 1971 by the FBI aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations that the FBI perceived as subversive. This included feminist organizations, the Communist Party USA, anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists in the civil rights and Black power movements (e.g., Martin Luther King Jr., the Nation of Islam, and the Black Panther Party), environmentalist and animal rights organizations, the American Indian Movement , Chicano and Mexican-American , and independence movements (including Puerto Rican independence groups).

The Iraq War was predicated on “weapons of mass destruction” which the government knowingly lied about.

The United Fruit Company backed a coup in Honduras.

General Motors conspired to collapse the streetcar industry to gain a monopoly on public transportation.

Cigarette companies suppressed information on the health effects of cigarettes.

Oil companies suppressed information on the environmental effects of fossil fuels.

Purdue Pharma conspired to suppress the risks of Oxycontin and to expand the use of the drug to levels they knew would cause addiction.

My point is, there are true conspiracies all the time. The internet has made it possible for more people to know about it. Unfortunately it has also made it easier for false conspiracy theories to propagate
