The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

i really truly wish any of the epstein furore was caused by a genuine concern for cruelty for teenage girls, for exploited kids. it would be a different country if it was, of course, but the discourse is sometimes jarring

As Trump demonizes immigrants & Mexicans, guess what Mexico is doing?

Mexico has sent a team of expert first responders trained in flood relief to Texas. They have committed to “staying until the last victim is found.”

I’m grateful the compassion of Mexicans exceeds the hate from the US president.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I can't imagine the horror of parents watching their babies continuously wail because they're starving, & desperately trying to feed them painful solids they're too young for.

There will be a moral reckoning one day for everyone who enabled this, including enabling it with their silence.

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

Discovery: Most Americans don't know anything works, because we're all uneducated dipshits fueled by conspiracy theories.

In the US, the debate rages on whether Cali or Texas has better Mexican food (or Mex-inspired food). But based on my experience, those two duke it out while New Mexico sits back, quietly having the best food. There is a deep richness & freshness to it.

NM: Y'all let us know who wins, we're eating.

Antisemitism (according to MAGA):

I read Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk.

I was surprised by how much certain themes in the story resonated with me. So I wrote about it & created a dada-inspired collage while I meditated on these themes, primarily of fathers and sons, and of women and men.

Book Review: Fight Club by Chuck Palahinuk
Fight Club was first published on my 17th birthday. When the film came out, I was in college working at Blockbuster Video. There was a time in the culture, the zeitgeist – call it what you wi…

I am currently reading Fight Club, and I like it far more than I ever expected to. I realized my perceptions of it were clouded by dumb men who fixated on it without understanding it.

Holy shit. I didn’t realize I posted this yesterday & came to make the same post today.
Every headline makes me feel like I’m losing my mind.

I asked my husband what was outside of our universe-containing black hole?

Him: “that’s where the sanity lives.”

Me: “Ah. Makes sense.”

Today’s #BreakfastOTD I subbed roasted sweet potatoes seasoned with garlic powder & smoked paprika for the barley I’ve been eating.

Changed up the sourdough from white flour to whole wheat too. Kept the kimchi, bacon, & marinated egg. Split the orange with the spouse. Eat your fiber, y’all.

People need to be crystal clear about something: The requirement that the government ANSWER to a court on the legal basis for detaining someone is literally the core liberty right (habeas corpus). If the government says they don’t have to do that bc “national security,” YOU can be disappeared.

Ramen egg on some of that breakfast barley we’ve been eating. Sourdough toast, iced coffee, kimchi, and a Cara Cara orange. #BreakfastOTD

Another excellent #BreakfastOTD - rewarmed burrito bowl from Chipotle. Topped with guacamole salsa & a fried egg. Sprinkled tajin over the top. Homemade iced coffee to go with. This tastes better the second time around.

Savory barley oats + spinach.
