“Small group” title suggests there’s another titled “large group.”

This country is not a democracy
But we play one in TV
Our chief concern is private property
It is a brutal ideology
Some self-respect could make us strong
But we have none at all
Too much of what’s illegal is not wrong
Too many crimes are not against the law
We must resist this
Resist injustice

I wish I knew how to acquit you.

This is our near future. Passwords that won’t be accepted, no help desks or customer service to resolve issues. Accounts deleted by AI. It started months ago. The tech bros are less tolerant of dissent than the billionaires.

Road-tripped out west last month. This is a view from Oak Creek Vista looking south toward Sedona, Arizona.

I wish that what happened to Xitter would happen to Facebook. The Xitter/Threads/Bluesky platform is great for celebs and influencers but we normies want a platform in which we can enhance our IRL communities.

When the US military failed to fall in line behind Trump in 2021 it was only because they took their oaths to the Constitution seriously. When they see Trump take his oath of office in January and remember the lack of consequences he faced for breaking it before, how will they then value their own?

Lol, facts. That’s so 1900s. I love cute, old-timey stuff like that but it’s no way to advance an agenda in 2024.

Harris-Walz didn’t just lose an election. That would be understandable. They lost to a rapist and felon. They lost to a one-term president who voters cast out a mere four years ago. They failed to ask voters if they weren’t better off now than when they couldn’t find toilet paper on store shelves.

I hope Bluesky avoids the typical arc of offering a superior product just long enough to corral users before slashing quality.

Dune Prophecy is another high budget show that has made the bad aesthetic choice to bury the dialogue beneath the soundtrack. No matter how much you turn up the volume to hear what they’re saying, the soundtrack drowns it out. I’m old, I hate everything except Matlock.
