“To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.”
― Oscar Wilde
Looks like they’re doing both at once now!
To save money, maybe your CEO should buy everyone breakfast in the morning.
“Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well- warmed, and well-fed.”
my schadenfreude of the day is this guy that crashed his plane and died because he couldn’t afford to fix it after spending $120,000 recounting an abortion vote and losing anyway
Kansas voters rejected the amendment, which said the state constitution did not include the right to an abortion and would have allowed lawmakers to impose further restrictions or a ban on the procedure. The recount confirmed the loss for the anti-abortion movement.

Gietzen, in an August interview with The Eagle, said the nearly $120,000 he spent on the statewide recount would likely complicate his plans to renovate the old Cessna, which he said he flew for the first time in the summer of 2022 after he put 15 years of work into it. “My only drawback on this Value Them Both recount is that that airplane is going to sit and collect dust for a little while,” he said in August. “Well, not collect dust. I’ll just go fly it in uncontrolled airspace, and we have to put 50 hours on it before you can fly with passengers anyway, which is a necessary and good rule. I’ve already got so much invested in that plane, I want to get finished. I’m so proud of this thing.”
fucking hate how so many websites are starting to delete entire accounts or wipe content uploaded by users without accounts and just get rid decades worth of stuff. google is deleting accounts inactive after two years - what happens to the youtube videos made years ago? do we just lose them forever? what about google drive folders that compile and share countless resources? imgur is deleting all nsfw content and images uploaded from users without accounts - so many posts all over the internet are going to break because their images were wiped from the image host. twitter is deleting accounts that dont log in within 30 days. what about personal accounts from people who passed away? what about people who just dont use it that often?
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
