Isn’t it usually sugar? (With a big helping of snake oil.)

Farm workers will definitely be another one. And farms are massive corporate businesses now overall. The age of the small farmer is mostly over.

This actually happened in Georgia a few years ago when they got more draconian on undocumented immigrants. Crops were withering in the fields.

I’m not exactly shocked he was that stupid, but yeah, that made me laugh the hardest.

Mistakes will be made and overzealous enforcers will be hired. This is going to blow up in their corporate faces.

He’s pre-Burt’s fame, I think.

It’s the Plan 9 From Outer Space of Christian Movies: If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?

The director, Ron Ormond, made a bunch of cheap exploitation films in Hollywood before finding Jesus in the message of Mississippi evangelical reverend Estus T. Pirkle. Why? I have no idea. He’s not especially charismatic and he sounds like an idiot.

But Ron moved down to Mississippi and decided to keep making exploitation movies, but make them Jesusy. He made four of them with the Rev, but that one is the funniest.

Also, there was an LP version of Pirkle’s sermon delivered in the film. That version was sampled by the band Negativland for what is probably the song they’re most well-known for, Christianity is Stupid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrt6o81ku5o

Everything about this brings me joy. I was hoping it would be Cards Against Humanity, but the more I think about it, the more I think this is even better.

Yep! He’s still out there doing stuff! He’s written a bunch of novels and he and Trace (Dr. F) are still riffing on movies!

Never look up music albums made by white American Christians in the 1960s. You will regret it.

Movies, on the other hand…

My absolute favorite part of this is that they also own his supplement business now.

Sorry… are you under the bizarre impression that Russia invading his country was his fault?

Are you also under the bizarre impression that his Putin stooge predecessor would have had a problem with Russian tanks driving down the streets of Kyiv?

He’s been able to keep his country together, and most of its land, after years of invasion by “the world’s second biggest military.”

Incidentally, it’s actually either the fifth or sixth largest military depending on whether you count reservists.

I hope you’re happy with all those campaign contributions, corporate America. Especially those of you in the restaurant industry.

Exactly. I think it’s silly to assume people understand something just because you think everyone knows or it’s obvious.

Not everyone knows and it’s not always obvious.

When my brother went to New College, it was an extremely progressive school with non-standard ideas. He is neurodivergent, so being able to structure his college education was really helpful to him and his degree got him into a standard graduate school program at a Big 10 university. He now has an MFA.

All of that has been crapped away by DeSantis for the sake of his ideology.

Then do explain to me the point since I literally showed you someone turning comedy into organizing and running for something.

Because you seem to be missing the point of political satire.

I was wondering that too. All I hear about is BlueSky and then suddenly this.

It’s funny… I said that when Trump dies it will be total chaos because all these people hate each other and they will all work as hard as possible to tear each other apart since Trump is the only thing that unites them.

Maybe we won’t have to wait for Trump to die.

I agree. We shouldn’t eat the rich. We should beat the rich. Repeatedly and for great lengths of time. Possibly with spiky objects. I’m sure we can beat the rich out of them if we keep at it long enough. It might take years and years, but if we just keep beating the rich…

Musk is far richer than Trump could ever dream of being. Trump might be president, but Musk can use his money to get away with anything.

So it will be a fun fight to watch.

If you have a girlfriend, she has my pity. But she can probably help you find it.

I leave dead people in Mexcio all the time. What’s the big deal?
