Writer, hopeful for tomorrow, trying to taking a break from worry - it’s going about how you’d think. Interested in the origin of ideas and philosophies.
Imagine being the founder fathers, having no political parties, and just believing that educated individuals would come together to discuss what’s best for society.

What’s with the masked people who don’t wear real masks, or who keep it under their chin?
It’s 2025, either don’t wear it or wear an n95 so it does something.
I really don’t understand this group of people - there’s no logic.

As a runner, I occasionally forget which injuries I have.
Is this common?
It’s like my body was thrown and beaten, but my mind is happy and alert, and then something doesn’t work and I have to remember - oh yeah.
Never stop running and fixing the broken parts.

Whenever I see someone post about their pharma drug helping them, I try to share my personal experience of how they are a ruse like alcohol. Like if someone said - I found this drink that fixes a bad day. There’s no difference, and alcohol might even be better. Fools.

I flew for the first time in 5 years recently. I fully expected #covid from my little people who struggle to avoid licking everything 🤦♂️.
Somehow we don’t seem to have gotten sick which has only made me realize how grimy people must be to perpetuate constant sickness - we weren’t that thorough.

People do realize that jobs are a means to live, right?
Like why is the economy the end all, be all?
These same people shout about having to live, or they did. Remember Covid, can’t live in fear.
Are they living, or sacrificing all for their job?
Make it make sense.

Big news: For years I've been investigating Jared Kushner's business deals with foreign governments. He's masquerading as an investment manager, but the evidence I've seen makes him look like an unregistered foreign agent. Rep. Jamie Raskin and I are calling on the DOJ to appoint a special counsel.

There is an underlying belief still hanging around that left-wing socioeconomic theory is "cuddly but stupid" and right-wing is "harsh but effective", when it turns out on mountains of data that left is "cuddly and effective" and right is "harsh and stupid"

I get that we all ignore science and public health now, but H5N1. It’s pretty unanimous- all scientists agree the path to pandemic is inevitable.
We just… going to do nothing about that??
Maybe after the election at least?

As an intensely liberal person, this site is getting to me. It’s like the house (America) is on fire and someone in your family mentions that the wall needs to be painted, and rather than prioritizing escaping the fire, everyone is suddenly angry about not spending time to paint.

It's alarming how many priorities need to be delayed because of this election. Biden can't push Israel because he'll lose a massive part of the electorate. Public health can't push pandemic response because people love their covid and H5N1.

Here's why democracy is doomed.
Conservatives will pick a single issue and vote for the republican candidate in an effort to win their way.
Liberals will pick a single issue and vote against the democrat because they aren't doing enough.
There needs to be more priority in voting from liberals.

At some point people will realize it’s not a law if no one enforces it. Because where I’m standing I know people go to jail for stuff like weed, but not for trying to overthrow the government or buying votes.

This is what’s wrong with the internet.
1) I comment about prioritizing keeping Trump out of office
2) a crazed idiot starts going to town about Gaza and calling me a dozen names.
3) the same person then changes the subject and announces they are right and all powerful.
It’s tiring.

Every time I experience some crazed angry person responding to a post of mine, it makes me realize why the world is how it is.
Once someone gets that angry, they can’t walk it back even if a reasonable point is made. Instead they seem compelled to get angrier to feel more right. Sad times.
