Wednesday

I cannot take much credit because I owe everything I have ever learnt to people like you and other DUers FakeNoose, Ed Zitron, Andy Nikiforuk, Yasha Levine, Christopher Ketcham and many others.

(A tribute to you all - yes from sleazy old YouTube, but the least offensive thing on there unlike the various conspiracy theory spewing garbage channels, Blippi etc):

I can say that our ugly sleazy billionaires have never given me anything but a headache..

I have never been angrier in my life. 14+ years of seeing these asinine parasites gambling our lives away so they can fart into gold toilets and lay waste to everything of value (including my mom’s health and my own life) has filled with me a sort of slow burning, incandescent rage I did not know I had in me.

I thought I had anger issues and would repress it and try to carry on dully and then have it explode. I used to find (and truth be told, were I to stop to think still would) anger embarassingly histrionic and skirting close to whatever kayfabe is, except when it explodes out of control.

But that is not the correct way to manage entirely legitimate anger.
