That bond of dreamers
of visions varied but shared
timeless and yet, new

Another let down
it’s the standard #issue
failing of the hero
the champion we raised up
before the warm rain
nothing new
and far from a surprise,
but damn so I hate
seeing it with my own eyes.

I see them grappling with the edge
and who they want to throw off of it

the issue is self-inflicted, they're caught
it'd be so easy if they could just snap;
enfranchise their own
toss off the rest

as is they defer to social cues;
gently, slowly
with policy
nudge us toward the edge

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I fully expect JD Vance and other “MAGA’s future” prospects to sell Trump out and assume leadership.

JD has the financial backing and is cunning enough to avoid incriminating himself. They’ll send Trump away as the corruption to cover themselves.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

If you have to accept that greed is human nature and we should organise around it, you also have to accept that people begging for food wanting to set fire to trillionaires is also human nature.

If you enjoy #Lovecraft and weird, character-driven stories, then you’ll love “Next Door to the Machine.”

The third part is live now. Links to the earlier parts are in the post.

If you don’t understand a post, sure, you can respond with “Huh? What?,” or you can simply hold your tongue and let it go and move on with the absolute certainty that there’ll be, within seconds, another post that you also don’t understand.

This old man
somehow escaped the Klan
found relief in the music
as only the Blues can.

Met a traveler on the road
through music, his story told
made a deal with the Devil
now his art's never old.
