Where the sky lights up 'til three.

And I won't forget the creepy guy,

Who sold that shit to me.

And I'll light the sky UP, next to you,

Scare the dogs and HOA.

'Cause there ain't no one can stop me now

It's In-de-pen-dence day🎶

She didn’t run for election; she was appointed, without her knowledge, while she was living and working in a completely different part of the country. She just received a call one day telling her to come back to her childhood home, because she was in charge now.

So she did; and when she arrived, she discovered widespread sexual abuse of children. She browbeat 50 uncooperative local leaders into accepting her decision to annul all the marriages. She then fired four of them when they continued to allow children to be married off in their areas. She still faces widespread opposition from parents who consider it their right to sexually abuse their daughters if they want to; but Kachindamoto very evidently does not give a fuck, and is continuing to use political and legal means to protect children in the region.

“We kept them on spools of special tape that could store magnetic patterns that machines called videocassette recorders could read, creating moving pictures and sound on the screen, but only if you turned the tv to a special channel.”

(Talking aside to someone else) Has she had her meds today?

“If you wanted to watch your show again, you had to rewind the tape by holding down the button, but if you had a fancy machine it would do it for you as soon as it reached the end…”

Uhu…

“We could even record live television with them! And no one could stop us!”

I keep telling people this, but SO much of American culture and particularly the ‘Protestant work ethic’ is derived from Calvin’s view that everything in life is predestined by God - that winners and losers are already chosen.

Those Puritan pilgrims who came here seeking ‘religious liberty?’ Hardcore Calvinists who were so obnoxious they were kicked out of their home countries.

And they use this belief to excuse the worst behaviors in American history: Racism, colonialism, genocide, segregation, patriarchy, prejudice against minorities, slavery, economic disparity, low wages, no public healthcare, systems that punish the poor and disabled while rewarding the already wealthy; attempts to impose theocracy and infiltrate democratic institutions to wreck them from within; the constant stream of made-up moral panics; the parochialism and fear of outsiders.

The belief, common among many conservatives, that humans are inherently evil, is why they distrust anything from government that advances the common good and instead praise church-based charity.

I could go on, but just read this.
