The lawless killing spree continues.
Do not become inured.
This is premeditated killing outside of armed conflict.
We call that murder.

NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."
Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

David Brooks Said ‘Count Me Out’ Of Epstein Story, Then Wound Up In Epstein Photos
There's no indication The New York Times columnist did anything wrong. But wow, the timing of his column and the photo dump is unfortunate!

Everything is terrible but not this 2 minute masterpiece. ❤️
Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.

We Could Use a Comforting Story About Rob Reiner Right Now
A line from ‘The Princess Bride’ captured everything that the director hoped to say in his celebrated films. Now, after his death, the words hold even more meaning.

A KALIEDESCOPE OF FRAUD
As a systems thinker, I consider a wider array of causal events every day.
I watch videos of people — conspiracy theorists with a sliver of the truth. In the grand scheme, that facet is nothing.
The truth is much worse. There are no Illuminati.
No one is in control.

How are people just grinding out 3 or 4 novels a year?
These people are able to get up and get to writing their latest WIP is that they aren't worried about getting picked up by ICE, shot by police, or hiding in their homes from COVID.
They are oblivious because none of that matters to them.

SCOOP: Sources tell me Donald Trump's name was added to the exterior of the US Institute of Peace building ahead of Thursday's peace agreement signing between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which will be held inside the building. Confirming if it's been officially renamed.

You are not allowed to think of yourself as an anti-capitalist hero if you steal books. No. You can get books for free in any number of ways that still allows us to eke out (insufficient) livings. If you're not going to do that, just admit that you don't give a shit. At least let's have some truth.
