Not sure how to summarize this one. Wrote about the podcaster-occupied government invading for content, how the algorithmic internet is governed by the logic of reaction videos, and how it has contributed to a very nihilistic illiterate politics and culture of performance for imagined audiences
Everything Reacting to Everything, All at Once

It worries me that the American people aren't angry enough. It bothers me that the opposing party doesn't care enough to rally the people. It's all so very disappointing.

A gangster state at home, a rogue state abroad: and entirely because Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their proper constitutional roles.

I binge watched The Hack and gotta recommend it, big thumbs up. It's been a while since I've watched something so good. Great acting, David Tennnant is fabulous, top notch storytelling. It helps that I remember a lot of what happened. Makes you think. Does this kind of journalism still exist?

Jack Smith had all the evidence to convict, The orange POS knew he would be convicted. For this and the documents case. Imagine his panic. His only way to stay out of prison was to win the election. And the only way to guarantee that was to cheat. Did he get Elon to do it? And in return Elon got ...
Smith: I can tell you that some of the co-conspirators met with us in proffers and did interviews with us. Giuliani sat for a proffer with us—he was available as a witness, and we would have welcomed President Trump calling him as a witness.

Ilia Malinin making quads look so easy. And it's not just the jumps. His whole routine is a delight to watch. And after the jumps he does a back somersault. For fun, it's not a credited element😁 Simply magnificent. The world has never seen anything like him before😊

Knowing all the facts but now hearing Jack Smith's testimony and certain he would have succeeded in court, I can't stop thinking how incredibly important it was for the orange POS to win last year and what he was willing to pay to make it happen. Imo Elon made it happen and got his prize.

Who could have imagined this would happen to America? This despicable Putin-loving orange know-nothing. The self-inflicted wrecking and collapse of a world power. Putin rubs his hands in gleeful anticipation. Xi rejoices. What have you done America?
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

These colour combinations are much better than the ones I saw for the men's kits. I especially like the wrap-around design. It's very flattering. The colour detail around the armholes is also very pretty. But I still wish we could see more kits with print designs.

I can't even imagine how anyone thinks to come up with this as a puzzle. One of those times when you really do have to figure out all the other 3 groups🤷♀️🙄

I hate boxing so I've stayed clear of the videos of those 2 lowlifes trying to impress the morons who admire them. But I will admit that I'm pleased to hear they got the beating they so richly deserved.

Bread so dense when you make toast with butter you have to ask yourself how deep a lake of melted butter can I handle. And the answer to that depends entirely on whether you are eating with company or if this a solo event😄😄😄

From the get go, the trickle down economic theory was a sham theory invented as cover for giving tax cuts to corporations. One of America's most consequential concocted deceptions of the late 20thC still used to fool idiots.
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

A suggestion to Directors of important/national libraries wrt membership, specifically the digital/online services: Make online membership available to the world, let everyone access your library. Spread your country's culture far and wide. I don't see a negative.
