I actually can't stop thinking about how the losing party last election dressed like vikings and tried to break into the white house and the losing party this election are sharing suicide prevention hotlines

Things are going to be rough. But we got this. And I'm not trying to spread optimism. Quite the contrary. If they want to make us su1c1dal AF, we're gonna make that THEIR problem.

This upcoming administration is NOT going to make things cheaper. They're going to come after ALL of us. Even the ones who voted for them. They're gonna try to play Shitler in the most armed country in the world. They're gonna enact project 2025 on a populace that thought that wearing a mask in a grocery store for 20 minutes was what tyranny looked like.

America is gonna go full Karen on them. Both the left and the right.

They're gonna hollow out an ALREADY short staffed military, lower its morale, make it susceptible to attacks, foreign and domestic, while wanting to attack the citizens. Yes. These morons think that that's a successful strategy.

They don't know how science works. We do.

They don't know what a tariff is. Maybe they don't know what a Trojan Horse is? Their military strategy is bound to be full of arrogance and missteps. They will lose.

Israel is in a doomspiral despite creating new horrors every day. They keep trying to retake northern Gaza and FAILING. Troop morale is LOW. The economy is FUCKED. Citizens are fleeing in droves. They're scared to try to enter Lebanon as Hezzbollah have booby trapped it extensively. And they need the support of the U.S. military, which is about to be in shambles.

This empire was dying before the election took place. We're now seeing it's final days.

So, put your chin up. Talk to every depressed person you see and organize. We'll show them what we're made of. Especially as they position us into a corner where we have no other choice but to fight.

We only lost ELECTORALLY. And that "we" was a terrible strategy put forth by the underwhelming democrats.

Our options in the ballot box are very limited. Our options outside it are expansive. We don't even know our full potential.

The confederacy LOST.

The third reich LOST.

These fuckers will LOSE.

See you in the streets!

It's like that scene from that Tom Hanks film

And after a while you just stop. You stop watering your plants. You stop watching netflix. You stop reading. You stop replying to your friends as fast as you used to. You stop buying yourself nice things. You stop putting an effort into how you look. You stop taking care of yourself like you used to. You stop sleeping. You stop eating healthy foods. You stop petting your dog. You stop socializing.

You stop with everything. You find yourself sitting in your room for hours on end, without doing a single thing. Days feel like years. And you think you can’t do it for much longer.

My therapist told me that you don’t only spiral down. You can spiral up again. So maybe one day

You water your plants for the first time in a while. Surprisingly they’re not dead yet. You remember a movie that you really enjoy and you find the energy to watch it. You feel better afterwards. Maybe you still can’t find the motivation to reply to your friends but you buy yourself a nice scented candle and read your book. You take a nice long shower and you feel refreshed, so you put on an outfit you find cool. Then after what seems like forever, you get a good night of sleep. You wake up with more energy than usual so you play with your dog. Then you cook that healthy meal you really enjoy. You reach out to a friend.

You start remembering what brought you joy. You start again with the little things. You look back on the days that have passed and feel relieved they’re over.

Remember, you don’t just spiral down. You spiral up as well, even if it takes more effort to get started.

No, but seriously, do you know how amazing Vincent Price is?

Not just as an actor, although he was a blast to watch in everything he did.  He’s one of those actors who’s just clearly having a whale of a time, no matter how bad the film is.  He’s just genuinely happy to be there (it makes his villains a particular delight, and he played a LOT of them).

But did you know that he was also on the PFLAG board after his daughter came out to him?  And that he was one of the earliest celebrities to speak out against the silence surrounding the AIDS epidemic?

Did you know that when his daughter came out to him, he admitted to her that it had been difficult for him during his first two marriages, because his wives had not been pleased to find out that their husband was just as interested in men as they were?

That’s right, kids, Vincent Price was BISEXUAL AS FUCK, and it was one of those open Hollywood secrets.  And his wife Coral Browne?  The one he grew old with and wrote cookbooks with and was basically ridiculously sweet with?

Also bisexual as fuck.  They were the queer power couple of Hollywood in the 70s.  His daughter, Victoria, grew up around Rock Hudson and members of the LGBT community.  When she came out, Vincent Price became a board member of PFLAG and was just about the most accepting and awesome dad.

Did you know that Vincent Price played Oscar Wilde in a one-man play, and when it was denounced by anti-gay activist Anita Bryant, he dismissed her right back, saying that Oscar Wilde had already come up with a term for her: a Woman of No Importance?  Because Vincent Price was deliciously witty and an awesome person.

Let me conclude with a quote from his daughter (from this article, where I got a lot of this information):

‘“In a funny way, and I think I’m going to cry, he understood me at 22 better than I understood myself then,” Price concluded. “Of course, he was in his 70s and lived a hell of a lot longer than I had, and he understood that at the end of the day it’s about who and what and how we love. And I have not been a person who has been very successful at conventional relationships, but loving well and loving deeply has been the most important thing to me.”’

Happy birthday, Vincent Price.  You were a gem of an actor, and an even greater human being.

Not only does he have many great films, but he's done a bunch of radio shows back in the day, as well as spooky audiobooks that you can easily find on YouTube. I highly recommend these!

Exene Cervenka, from the band X, did a reading of excerpts from the Unabombers manifesto, "Industrial Society and its Future," set to music. Here's an excerpt from the CD.

I need to make one of those introductory playlists for the history of rock-rap fusions

Can you settle something I've been curious about? Is this the OG that kicked off the craze:

No, although it is one of the earlier attempts at a rock-rap crossover on the grand scale of things. This came out in 1991; before this, 1) Run-DMC had collaborated with Aerosmith, 2) the Beastie Boys had already jumped from punk to hip-hop, 3) ICE-T had formed his thrash metal band Body Count, and 4) industrial metal band Ministry had already started playing around with rap

(For those without Spotify, and because even the video is rad.)
