If interested in the story of Vice, Thomas Morton's perspective is essential. Here he is on our mutual friend Moynihan's 2Way TV show.

"It doesn’t open with spectacle exactly—just the rumor of a dead body, a bizarrely on-point Bette Davis line, and a setup so perfect it begged for an NSFW joke. We’re not back to explain the world. We’re back to be in it."

My friend @agentmule.bsky.social once told me “Life is impossible” and I know that’s the simplest phrase but it’s making me feel better today. We’re all in this shit together. We’re all trying our best. No matter what happens.

First come the tariffs, then the saber-rattling, and before you know it, someone’s calling in airstrikes over a truckload of Canadian unpasteurized cheese.

They’ll attack a strike, they’ll arrest protesters, and they’ll devote themselves to making CEOs feel safe.
Not only do cops defund our cities, they work overtime to stop us from building a better world."

Hilaritas has published a new edition of 'Mavericks of the Mind' (www.hilaritaspress.com/portfolio-it...). Among other things, it has a great interview with RAW. From my old (1993) edition, here's one of my all-time favourite RAW quotes. It seems somewhat relevant at this moment!
