I was at the Pro-Billionaire march, unironically. Here's why, what happened there, and how I think it went.

There's a genre of horror movie where a normal protagonist is going through a normal day in a normal life.

This kinda thing happens to me more than I’d like to admit, but normally it's in a metaphorical way. Normally.

Goth 2: I can’t believe we’re still letting billionaires live.

Goth 3: Seriously, how corrupt is our government that we haven’t rounded them all up yet?

Goth 1: Maybe we should kill them ourselves.

Goth 2 [...]
