There are enough violent threats on the internet without adding to the heap.

You know, those collective nouns…a murder of crows, a blessing of unicorns, a parliament of owls.

There must be a good one for Eeyores. A misery of Eeyores? A depression? A surrender?

“No gaiety, no song and dance, no "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush". But don't worry about me, Pooh. Go and enjoy yourself. I'll stay here and be miserable, with no presents, no cake, no candles.”

so says Eeyeore

“End of the road. Nothing to do and no hope of things getting better.”

If it was Betty White's time, I'm glad she died in 2021 which already sucked big time. If she lived into 2022 and died, then 2022 would have started out sucking. So maybe 2022 will be better.

That’s not an “accelerationist” sentiment. Where there’s oppression, there’s resistance.
