  • A reminder that the human brain has not changed since modern humans emerged about 300,000 years ago.

    Think about what that means.

    The people who spent millennia throwing rocks at the moon, drawing stick figures on walls and hunting mammoths with pointy sticks? That’s just us. That is exactly what we would be doing in that time and place. The people that burned witches? That is us too. Those people had the exact same capacity for intelligence, compassion, and reason as we do.

    What I am saying is that the capacity for human stupidity is boundless. It is our intelligence and civilization that defies our nature. We can always be dumber. We might not be able to get any smarter.




  • Do the Republicans really think they are going to benefit from a requirement that disenfranchises people who don’t have proof of citizenship like:

    -Women who got married and took their husbands last name
    -People who keep getting divorced over and over again
    -People who have never travelled outside the US

    Bear in mind that the people who are basically guaranteed to have their documents in order are:

    -Recently naturalized citizens
    -People who travel a lot
    -Unmarried women
    -People who graduated college

    So your local lesbian coven of naturalized middle aged Latinas. They are going to have zero problem voting. Joe Bob the cousin fucker from Alabama who has never gotten more than 20 miles from his trailer park and doesn’t believe in “the gummet”, and hasn’t had a job that didn’t pay cash in his whole life? Yeah, that fucker doesn’t have a passport.

    But hey, at least they are going to stop all the undocumented immigrants who already weren’t allowed to register to vote in the first place.

    This is going to be like how they attacked absentee voting without realizing that the majority of absentees were retirees and the military.
