“Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.”

I just drove a Lyft passenger (#8,260) who lives on Waltham across the street from the house where I was conceived on April Fool’s Day 1979. And I want a gold star for not bringing it up.

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.
I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

Also, Hitler was literally inspired by US settler colonialism - specifically the genocide we perpetrated against indigenous Americans, and that whole slave trade slavery thing.
Naziism, unfortunately, is as American as apple pie & we need to reckon with that. Yesterday.

So every time people do "only 80s/90s kids remember" stuff it's always the same things and it feels fake. Here's some real stuff they never use: in the 80s there was a crazy amount of anti-Japan hysteria and in the 90s everyone had to make a joke about Dan Quayle even children's cartoons and Fallout
