Heinlein was a Cold Warrior who hated commies. I think that is the most important lens you need to see his work through.

He got injured before he saw combat and had a Long convalescent period, so there definitely is a bit of a chip on his shoulder with respect to honor cultures and willingness to fight.

I think he was also gender queer in some deep way. You don’t accidentally write a novel about an older writer who, through an absurd sequence of events, gets his brain transplanted into the body of an extremely attractive younger woman. There is a lot of criticism about his recurrent “Heinlein heroine”, and I think she might actually be a self insert.

Kids, you may not believe this but there was a time that Kristi Noem looked like a person.

She looks like a Spitting Image puppet.

Canning, freezing, salting, curing, drying, baking … Aaaaaaaaa there are still more!

In the Republic, Plato proposed that any citizen could eat fruit from any tree so long as they were sitting underneath the tree that bore the fruit.

Watch Walz’s press conference on the 24th.

He is having a genuine human reaction to this. He looks and talked like he understands the stakes.

Unlike Schumer or Jeffries or Harris or the Obamas.

You have no idea what people are doing.

They could be on national tv with this. They could be calling for a general strike. They could be calling for prosecution. They could be calling to abolish ice. They could be calling for impeachment.

This is pathetic.

The option you are seeing is the one that the people of Minneapolis (who experienced violent unrest related to policing in their city recently) have chosen.

The people out there protecting their neighbors in MSP are showing incredible guts, cleverness, and solidarity.

So sure dump on the people who voted for this, dump on useless cops, but the private citizens of that area have stepped the fuck up and are putting their bodies on the line for their community.

What the people in MSP has nothing to do with a lack of courage and if you can’t see that you need to take a nap and wipe your eyes.

This is pretty political.

I agree with the premise, mind you.

Semi-Ramblomatic is his best stuff imo.

What a snowflake

Republicans don’t see a child, they see a racial slur.

Most republicans are even bigger cowards than ICE.

I was there, my first hockey game of any kind, had an absolute blast.

Never let a republican tell you that they care about children ever again.

I want to eat that I don’t care what they call it.

For real!

And then, is 20260124-24:59:30 the morning of the 24th, or the 25th? Who knows?

Vim is a super fit girl who wants you to go rock climbing with her, and you’re kinda scared of her.

Emacs is a big plenty-of-everything roundaway girl who wants to wrap you up in a cuddle and learn to make your favorite food and binge watch nerdy documentaries with you.

Yup, I have used elisp way more than common lisp cause it affects, y’know, emacs

Schlorping is what you do to boobs that have been taken out.

Lol put a cop in charge of money and what do you expect?

They steal shit all day every day.
