The market is imploding and the US is heading towards a depression and Trump wants a military parade for his birthday…. What a shit show.

Dems: get your shit together, find a leader and a message that resonates with the average jack off, and let’s start fighting for a better future.

Just my two cents, but maybe if the media had highlighted over the last 8-10 years Trump’s stupidity and incompetence instead of sane washing him we wouldn’t be in this mess. There’s a lot of blame to go around and I look forward to the backlash leading to sweeping changes to improve America.

A heartfelt thank you to the people of Lithuania for their support in recovering our fallen troops.

Condolences to the families of our soldiers that died in Poland and my gratitude to our allies that helped recover our fallen.

Just want to give my support to everyone at the VA. I know the system isn’t perfect but I’ve generally enjoyed great support, good care, and friendly kindness from everyone work in the Veterans Affairs system.

Flying from Germany to Romania today and there’s a “warning strike” by the ground staff union that chopped 80% of flights. My fellow Americans: you want political change? You want to push back on Trump and the Republicans? We have the tools to do so, we just need the will to use them.

Any good books on Late Stage Capitalism (preferably more recent than Lenin) or forecasting the future economic model?

I feel that we’re at a crossroads where the old paradigm no longer works but the new system hasn’t yet emerged.

Even the train station looks sharp in Wiesbaden

Wiesbaden has a gorgeous downtown, definitely worth the visit should you be passing through the Frankfurt area

Conservatives always worry about IDs when it’s time to vote. Maybe we should also require voters to pass a basic competency test before they can access a ballot?

LinkedIn has really declined in the last year or so. Just painful to need to use it and to be exposed to large chunks of the user base sucking off billionaires along with the virtue signaling posts and AI spam.

If the Eagles can stop the evil that is the Chiefs we can defeat the traitors trying to destroy America!

I don’t want to get out over my skis, but I’m really enjoying watching the Chiefs suffer

Fascinating to see everyone riding Elon’s dick on LinkedIn. Like he’s going to notice their post and give them a million bucks. Fucking clowns.

Spoke to a good friend of mine deeply worried about the direction of the United States and frustrated by his inability to take action to fix the threat to our country. I told him to focus on what he can change and to remember that early setbacks and defeats can lead to long term victory.

One benefit of the upcoming food crisis under the Trump admin- we can get back to growing our own vegetables gardens. Maybe go wild with a small chicken coop or even a couple of pigs?

For city folk, perhaps now is the chance to turn empty lots into Schrebergartens as in Germany?

I had to pop into Sicily for a bit of work and can recommend it to any travelers. Great food, gorgeous scenery, lovely old towns full of history, and the people were super friendly. Supposed it can get up to 40/45C in the summer which is also peak tourist season- so maybe aim for spring/fall.

Can’t remember if I said this already, but I worked my way through the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. Was good fun and I’m looking forward to the next book! And The Captives War by the team that made the Expanse is worth your time.

Even dictators have limits on their powers and need to please their constituents. When Trump’s voters are all unemployed, will they still back him? Will the ultra wealthy back him when they see their worth plummeting because companies are going broke? When they become international pariahs?
February 2, 2025 at 8:09 PM
Trump and Elon are on a speed run to crash the economy. It’s like the don’t realize that unemployed, angry people have the most time and energy to protest and run wild. People working an 8+ hour shift to pay rent don’t camp outside the White House for week.
February 2, 2025 at 8:07 PM
Honestly, I feel like Trump crashing the economy is the best thing that can happen in the long run. Yeah, I know people are going to hurt- but the sooner we’re all unemployed the sooner people will start pushing back. Only then can we truly remake and fix America.

With the inevitable failure of the Bills I find myself obliged to support the Eagles against the Chiefs.
January 28, 2025 at 10:22 AM
Hoping the Bills beat the Chiefs (and then lose in the Super Bowl)

Anyone in the corporate security sector around to talk site and employee risk monitoring?
January 13, 2025 at 11:53 AM
I keep bouncing between overthinking everything and being worried about the future and telling myself that it’ll work out. Not always easy to stay positive and go with the flow. And I know there are plenty of folks that have it worse than me, so just need to keep pushing. One day at a time.
