I have a problem with rudeness. Con-artists. Cruelty. Kids of today listening to this & adopting it. Along with the notion that corruption, misogyny, racism, mean spiritedness are the way to get ahead. Everyone should. None of this is partisan.

The way the Spurs players turn en-masse and start trudging to the half way line when the goal goes in. Muscle memory LOL.

What really shone through in this game for me was how much I'd hate to watch Chelsea week in week out. 1st half in particular. Second only to Newcastle in shithousery IMO.

The same way the American people do. The same way the German people did. Fear. It's not happening to me. It's those other people. We'll be fine. It's why Citizens can be swept off the streets. There's a word for it.

A black swan event in the next 6 months all but assured as adversaries sense instability. God himself would need years to fix what they are doing to the working/middle class. A banner year for lawyers though.

Mass migration is coming anyway thanks to climate. Including US >>> Canada eventually when the southern states become no longer viable. AI demands more & more energy exacerbating the problem. The threat to "western civilization" is created by reckless greed & an inability to plan strategically.

Globally, if people did nothing more complicated than never voting for people with bad hair, hundreds of thousands of people would still be alive today. For a more nuanced layer, never vote for anyone with a punchable face either. It's not that hard.

Wealth inequality is of course expanding, as we all know. AI will accelerate that. Climate crises will ring-fence it. You'll either be inside or outside the gated secure communities. It might not be a bad time to consider electing competent & ethical leaders, similar to the Canadian PM.
