This is not the time to be walking on eggshells. We’re walking through ruins now, the deliberate desolation of the temple of our ancestors: self government, sovereignty of the Law, generosity to the poor, welcome to the stranger, and justice without mercy to the tyrant.
The news has always been subordinate to business interests. Remember all those ads for Boeing aircraft 20 years ago? What viewer would be moved to buy one?There are endless examples of what were just bribes to the networks. Newspapers no different: “Go easy on our advertisers.” But..

Kids today are too addicted to their phones. They need to be sitting in front of the tv all day like their parents did,

This fucking Greenland shitshow should never have reached the international level. It reveals the disfunction of our government that it wasn’t nipped in the bud domestically.

Goddam, I love being alive! Best thing ever, made all the divine by there being a time limit.

Fundamentally, what we have here is the triumph of people who are stupid enough to think they are really smart.
And they are angry, because all their lives people have dismissed their supposed brilliance, and now their hare-brained ideas are the law of the land, but they are just as stupid.

Remembering the Civil Rights struggle of the 60’s, the non-violent strategy of Reverend King was effective, but didn’t actually achieve results until the Black Panthers, Malcolm X, and others became the alternative. “You want the honey, or you want the sting?” You need both.

Tim Walz is a fool. ‘Safe and legal’ protests are not going to work. These people won’t stop until they are stopped.

I’m getting a Knights of The Golden Circle vibe, from this administration.

The Enshittification of Christmas
Back before my time, Christmas was a drunken bacchanalian revelry, when the poor roamed wealthy neighborhoods demanding liquor from their social superiors, threatening to poop on their porch if they didn’t make with the hooch.
It’s been downhill ever since.

Trump is looting the treasury and tearing down the country at machine speed.
It reminds me of King Croesus’ reply to Cyrus after Sardis fell to Cyrus of Persia in 546 BC
‘Ha, see my men plundering your city,” boasted Cyrus.
‘No, my King, it is you they rob, your city they burn”, said Croesus.

The crudeness of our discourse, the bestial degeneration of our humanity to one another, the obscene concentration of wealth and attendant corruption, the intrusive surveillance, the targeting of an enemy within, are all inevitable outcomes of an unending state of war.

We live in a time of intentional obfuscation, when it is actually a time of revelation.
When mounted beggars race their steeds to exhaustion, and leave them wet in the stables. It clarifies.
Witness the revelatory exposure of the inversely proportional correlation between dignity and wealth.

It makes me laugh to hear the Trump regime portray Americans as the victims of the drug cartels.
First, they don’t really give a fuck.
But mainly because we’re not the victims we are the creators and sustainers of the cartels.
Our insatiable demand for drugs has ruined those countries.

There are two kinds of problems: problems you can solve with money and those you can’t.
We can solve the first kind by taxing the fuck out of billionaires. That’s about half our problems, so it would make a dent.

Ok, AI can do things in a second that might take me many hours. I’m thinking summaries, research, analysis.
That seems very efficient, but I’m burning maybe 100 calories per hour, like 20 watts.
AI is burning 100 million calories an hour at just one data center.
So, is it really more efficient?

The pre-planned Project 2025 blitzkreig attack on our democracy has culminated, outrun the supply lines of public support.
They’re going to try to consolidate their gains, hamstrung by incompetence, internal division, damaged by overreach.
Strategic wisdom sees a successful counter attack in order.

It’s both funny and tragic that we could almost all our problems by simply not listening to really stupid people.
