I've finally realized the way Christians count President BoneSpurs as one of their own; it's not the Christ part, it's the old testament part; the retribution and vengeful part. Throw out the Jesus part, and forget the ark and rainbow promises. 🌈

On 9/11, a national air emergency, flights were halted for three days. This administration, giving no reason, closed El Paso airspace, initially ordered for TEN days (later ended early).

'On Tuesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he was “outraged” by the [pride] flag’s removal.' A day when Christians and Jews put on their waterskis and jumped the shark.

Forever Chemicals and AI have become generic terms like GMOs - alarmist whistles rather than meaningful descriptors. Every home likely contains forever chemicals - I have several jackets that do, and they're probably on our couch cushions.

For the first time, I tried using my YouTube account through a hotel TV. Sucked. 1) inadequate bandwidth to TV so unacceptable stalling and command lag. 2) standard remote didn't function as well as Google's remote at home.

"If I had legs I'd kick you" is a horror movie - but real life; like all the horrible things that real life can throw at you. The highlight is a scene with a hamster, which is also horrible. Good acting; pathetic characters.

My current perspective on the mental health system: the people who need help the most either end up committing suicide or in prison. Meanwhile, the professionals compete for the clients who will pay the most.

Word suggest (auto-correct) on mobile devices is SO HORRIBLE. First word in sentence: Went. OK, maybe that should be preceded by a noun. But to presume I meant sent, when I typed went, is f*d up. Because I deleted the suggestion, now when I type sent, it's saying "surely you meant went?" GO AWAY!

"My study is informed by key components of intersectional (eco)feminist, posthumanist, biopolitical and critical animal studies approaches." A post-doc studying dog breeding. I have to admit, this seems over the top.

Culture of competition? In a town where mental health professionals rather than police are sent, those workers say occasionally they need police because they fear for their safety. Police response? "We don't have the resources."

Because I don't have any paid streaming services, I seem to be missing supposedly shared cultural benchmarks. "This is why the representation of communicative and consensual masculinities that reject male domination in television shows like Ted Lasso, Shrinking and Heated Rivalry matters."

Essentially we're paying numerous times for the benefit of being surveilled. Federal taxes... our phone bills; not to mention local cameras operated privately or publicly. The "free" social media tracking (our online labor) is sold to businesses, which is cost-shifted to the price of products.
