I'm a person who does art for fun and likes to comment and argues politics when I've had too much to drink
The propaganda machines can spin the narrative all they want, but it looks like people are tired of the noise and ready to gamble on someone who believes in the things coming out of his mouth. It's a good omen.

I'm trying to wean myself off social media, and maybe the whole internet if it comes to that. I think the enshittification is approaching critical mass, and it just sucks to be on here. It's a bad time more often than not.

I mostly don't notice my tinnitus anymore, but every once in a rare moment, I remember that I'll never hear anything again without that ringing overlaid on top of it, and I get really bummed out

I don't know how much more Messaging I can take. It doesn't feel like I have the space to form an opinion of my own. Everything's either This way or That way. Anytime I hear "Trump" from the media it's just like, fuckin' who cares, everything he does is for attention and you're playin into his hand

Words kill people. I don't like *anyone* dying, but the invisible death toll has been slowed, and i'm happy about that. Pen's mightier than the sword, an' all. Indirect violence is every bit as deadly. Plant an idea, or craft a policy, and you don't even have to get your own hands dirty.

Man... at the end of Watchmen, all the nations that were fighting internally came together against [no spoilers]. Five years out from the start of the pandemic, we're fractured more than ever. I get so *frustrated* that an alien threat makes people retreat *harder* into their tribal instincts.

This isn't a new observation, but Google isn't as helpful as it used to be. It might actually be more informative to go to a physical library and track down a fucking book

In an advanced society, it might be a little too easy for people to survive, even thrive, while having huge character flaws that they don't work on. It's not even their fault -- it's been working out so far, right? You can walk through life miserably without ever finding the source of the problem

Anyway... if you envision a future in which you *will* succeed at your goals, temporary setbacks aren't nearly as demoralizing.

When I'm feeling hopeless, I find it helpful to imagine that my life is pre-written and... wait, hold up. I'm getting suggestions on what I might have meant by "pre-written." Maybe my syntax is off, but I definitely know that these are not better.

Cops are bullies, leaders are corrupt, the media is propaganda, and if dogs can shit wherever they want, we should too!! (that last bit is open to discussion)

Isn't it a bit absurd that you can go to college when you're eighteen, before you can even legally buy alcohol because *that* part of the US government knows your brain isn't fully developed, and just owe money forever? I've been making payments for over a decade. I'm not even halfway.

I don't know why I get weird reactions from my boss when I say that I only come into work for the paycheck. Isn't that understood? Am I supposed to live in a fiction where it's fulfilling to move shit around for eight hours a day? I don't slack, but I'm not gonna pretend it's a holy mission, either.

I'm an American (USA). I just want to say, to people living in other countries, that the current actions of the dickheads in charge do not reflect the attitude of the general public. The government has been infiltrated at the highest levels by crazy people, and we don't condone their fuckery.

All of yous who've been flying seven different American flags off your house, with the Confederate bumper sticker, it's time to find out whether you ever meant it. We do not abide kings here. Let's dig some trenches and not give an inch to this old man yelling at the TV.

Looking at people in their 70s and 80s, you can tell who's lived life with the intent to work on themselves and figure their shit out, and who could've had all the time in the universe and they'd never escape their demons. It's a stark divide.

It's hard, living with an energy vampire. Sometimes you just want to make a pot of coffee without hearing a full account of someone's morning so far and why it was terrible. I don't know why some people decide to *be* like that. Something's always the matter.

"What do you even do around here?"
Allow me to answer your question in the form of stopping doing anything around here. The difference will soon be apparent.

The one consistent theme of my sleeping dreams is that I travel, endlessly. It's always highways, roads, hallways, doors, unfamiliar houses, cars and boats. I never settle. I always have to move. Always a trail, a path. Moving forward, but never really *toward* anything. Just onward.

what the fuck is going on in the US? Why? Why have all the safeguards been cardboard standees all along? Why is it so easy to demolish a 200-something-year system of checks and balances? And where can I can emigrate to? I'm pretty good at languages. I just want to live somewhere nice.

When I was being taught history in school, there was always an implication that it was a done deal. Like those lessons had been learned, by everyone, and it was over now. Prejudice and strife and war... all in the past. No mention of the same things happening *right now*. Such smug complacency...

Weather like a katana slash from Heaven. Government like it's everyone's first day on the job. Nothing works anymore. How is anyone supposed to plan for the future in these conditions?

The way Youtube does ads, it utterly breaks the experience. They come in randomly and often, it's like some guy holding an air horn beside your head and psyching you out the entire time. Eh, eh, eh...? Am I gonna... wait for it! Just give me one unskippable cutscene at the beginning of a video
