    Well I don’t have time in my life to spend an entire day at the DMV. And I don’t find that to be a reasonable expectation. So, not here.

    I’ve had to pay late registration penalties due my vehicles before under the same circumstances. Walk in, 150 people in line, walk out.










  • I agree with a lot of that, but Trump is such an idiot, I can’t imagine Putin would trust him enough to coordinate that closely. Maybe if it’s just sheer manipulation. This is the weirdest fucking timeline.

    I can’t fucking believe it. Trump is taking over DC police, preparing for the inevitable civil backlash. Are all of those assholes really going to fight for him?

    I legitimately have to worry that on my anniversary trip TSA is going to go through my phone and perhaps decide I’m a traitor for anti-Trump sentiment. I guess if I disappear in April and no one hears from me again you’ll know what happened.



  • I’m so sad that Ray Stevenson died. Baylen Skoll was the most interesting new SW character I’ve seen in a long time. Everything else about Ahsoka was mid (after a decidedly sub-mid start). Though I really hate the force gods storyline and that’s where his character was headed so maybe they’d have ruined that anyway.

    I know everyone hated on the acolyte for good reason, but Manny Jacinto’s character was pretty interesting at the end. I feel like if that story had a little more room to grow…

    I think I’m really hating on these super high budget 8-10 episode formulaic shows. Let’s go back to 24 episode seasons with lower episode budgets, more practical effects (less post production fuckery), and better character ensembles, like before the streaming age.

    Anyway, let’s hope S2 lives up to expectations.

    Oh and fuck the Trump voters the article talks about. I forgot about them.




  • It’s like watching inevitability play out. This is how it has happened before. It’ll happen this way again. Because despite the slogan, people do forget.

    We have a bunch of old motherfuckers in office whose parents and grandparents lived through WW2 and they are already letting those sacrifices be in vain. If it was some Gen Z kid saying “Nazis never did anything to me, imma see how this plays out,” I’d think they were morons, but I’d sort of get that Nazis seem almost cartoonish. They are! Fucking Pepe memes and a meme-president. This will all look like a joke in 100 years, too.

    But I digress, these old fucks (I say this as I’m nearing my old fuck era) are failing the one God dammed task they ought to be best suited for as they grew up in the shadow of the war.
