The montage that just sped through my head after reading this
I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

I love a disembler. An obfuscator. A whole truth buried in a half lie.
A sneaky little bastard scratching their way towards meaning.

I will push you just a little further towards the dissonant sounds of your dissolving self.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Foolproof (tested by fools)
I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.
![“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.

There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.

My resistance continues to be in repair and maintenance and local living. What started as disillusionment morphed into an operable worldview and I'm grateful for that.

People talk about 90s optimism and I just. Did not experience that. I learned about plastic at 10 yo, taking 1000s of years to decompose and knew we were culturally over. I could not unsee the selfish and short-sighted attitude underpinning everything and it affected me so profoundly. For good.

![hitchBOT was a Canadian hitchhiking robot created by professors David Harris Smith of McMaster University and Frauke Zeller of Toronto Metropolitan University in 2013.[1][2][3] It gained international attention for successfully hitchhiking across Canada, Germany and the Netherlands. In 2015, its attempt to hitchhike across the United States ended when it was stripped, dismembered, and decapitated in Philadelphia.[4](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:t7f2vh5a3kuz2skwq6r3e745/bafkreidyw6uedk2mxjcdayprnlvfnmnaonpm6ln466yeetjvn3ynbmzcpy@jpeg)

I think the deep irony that training a populace to not recognize when their country is doing coups has lead to a populace that cannot recognize when a coup was done to them is a little too rich.
