I can think of at least one good thing that’s… Well, I’ll just let Charlie Kirk himself explain it:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA i-cant

How about you all? Anything good to note? Can really be anything, either personal or in the news. Let’s hear it!

    There was a questionnaire on The Guardian asking readers what the best news of 2025 was. Really the only positive thing I could think of at that moment was Kirk, so I wrote them a nice paragraph about it, how it wasn’t exactly “happy” news but it showed that fascism can and needs to be confronted and the popular response showed people are beginning to accept that. I doubt they will mention it in their recap of positive 2025 news but I hope a lot of people responded with that. Media like The Guardian are eternally civility-lib and there are many racists in the west but I really believe the average westerner actually wants nazis to be shot at this point.

    Zohran Mamdani won.

    I know I know, he’s a succdem and my guard is still up he’ll say “SIKE!” just like Obama, but maybe I’ll get pleasantly surprised and see a success story in a part of the country that doesn’t want people like me dead. That is the bar now. Don’t legalize discrimination against minorities and also baseline competence.

      It was worth it for the sole reason of forcing everybody from the shittiest Democrats to Donald Trump himself to endorse Cuomo. I feel like we didn’t stop and enjoy just how fucking washed Trump was going up there asking people to vote for Cuomo. Fucking pathetic. pathetic

      My take is that if nothing else, Mamdani’s victory showed that there’s a demand for left-wing politics and not everyone in the US has had their brains turned to goo by propaganda. We often act like the mayonese-burgerlandic brainpan is fundamentally incompatible with socialist ideas and it’s just nice to see that a lot of people in the US do actually want the same things we want.

      Love your cat!

      I kidnapped two strays, they are bonded and absolutely love each other. Its the closest I’ve ever seen animals be with each other. The short hair one is deaf, the long hair is polydactyl
