"Persona Identity, Inc. is a Peter Thiel-backed venture" etc etc

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)
The Fluffmaster General teaching the household how to relax.
Huge thanks to @chuckwendig.bsky.social for this. When I read that "who's going to win the race" comment I was so angry. These fucking shitgibbons churning out "content". These cockweasels stealing everything we've done. I was so mad. So thanks, Chuck, for writing exactly what I wanted to say.
