I'd say that Bezos is more of a Harry Palmer villain. A little more grounded and based in reality that the Bond franchise. Muskrat is a Bond villain.

They threw batteries at Santa. They killed hitchhikerbot. What do we expect?
Also remember that if a protestor picks up one of these "non-lethal crowd control measures" and throws it back at the police, they get charged with Assault With a Deadly Weapon.
Even writing in the dirt on a new car can fuck up the clear coat.
What? You're saying if America becomes less accepting of gay people, Russia will become more accepting? Like, having a pride parade in retaliation?
Hate to say it, but I don't think that the downfall of the American hegemony would go well for queer folks, even a fucked up as it is. To a certain extent, global power IS a zero sum game. Especially in the context of Tulsi Gabbard, who seems to be aligned with Russian interests. If American influence wanes, that vacuum will get filled by soft power coming from Russia, China, or some combination thereof. Neither of them are huge fans of the queers.
Harambee was our anchor being. Everything's been fraying at the edges since that day.
There was a dude in Seattle who went by Phoenix Jones. He fashioned himself a masked vigilante, roaming the streets saving people from muggings and assaults.
Turns out he was mostly just picking fights with drunk frat guys. And we're pretty sure he was dealing drugs and using the superhero facade to beat up his competition.
Teachers, nurses, etc. Passion professions get fucked regularly.
That's a big chunk of it, yes. KOMO is owned by Sinclair media, KIRO isn't much better. Fox13 is fucking fox, so I won't even bother. The Times is Hearst Corporation. So the vast majority of media sources here are directly owned by institutions that have a vested interest in maintaining status quo.
The Stranger is still independent, but the quality has suffered greatly over the last 10+ years.
Also, this is partly a natural pendulum swing back to the right. A lot of people were upset after the Sawant experiment (debacle?), but instead of finding better leftist politicians, we just fled back to the centrist, corporate bullshit that led us down the Sawant path in the first place.

I wish nothing but pain for this fuckhead. May he develop dementia and circle the drain for years, living in a puddle of his own mess, then die alone and sobbing the day before he would get the power to dissolve the trust.
