More #SundayThoughts:
Human history begins with "to the winners go the spoils"—tribal warfare where clans seized resources from defeated foes. This raw form of theft was direct and violent, with power concentrated in the victors' hands. Early societies formed around these extractive dynamics. (1/6)

Sunday walking thoughts:
#Trump promised to "drain the swamp"—to dismantle corrupt elites and return power to ordinary #Americans. Millions believed him.
They saw a chance to reclaim agency, to break the system that had failed them. It felt like hope.

It occurs to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, that what is happening with the ultra rich oppressing and exploiting everyone else is a mirror of what humans have done to the earth.

This was long before he became president. It's not a new thing. If the American people as a whole had sense and decency, he never would have been allowed on a ballot. Period. Vetting officially died the day he was allowed to run.

History suggests the latter, but this does feel like a breaking point, because history is also full of populaces growing fed up with the depravity and excess and arrogance of their leaders and turning on them.
Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:
“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Shine a light on those who think they're infallible because they are rich or powerful. Those who deign to walk this earth as though they aren't rife with shame. Show them no amount of money can keep those disgusting skeletons in the closet. Expose them as the reprehensible rapists they are. #Epstein
NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.
Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

The Dodgers beat the Blue Jays in these categories: HR, BB, GIDP, W, SV, CG, and probably the most important- WPA.
Caleb Joseph wasn't wrong to say the Jays were better. The difference was timing- that's all. I don't think that's luck or skill or 'clutch'. It's #baseball.

Today I wake up sad, feeling for my little team that just barely couldn't, particularly for Mark Shapiro, oddly, because one other team of his got to a #WorldSeries Game 7, and they too lost in extras. 😢🩵😢

The excuses made for in office work are rarely anything but spurious 'humanity' covers for shitty motives indifferent to actual human needs.

There are three #BlueJays players I've believed in when many did not: Ernie Clement, Nathan Lukes, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
I compared one to Cal Ripken, another to Alex Gordon, and another to Miguel Cabrera.
I feel like my comparisons were not asinine.
Go Blue Jays!!!

If the Trump regime are Nazis, ironically, our only hope for freedom in this world is China and its allies. China is Britain in this comparative scenario. How crazy is that?

The key problem of #AI is that it cannot do the other three things, at all in some cases.
#AI feels much like Ozymandias' statue right now, while it was being built- except that we are well aware of our potential fate, and our 'best and brightest' keep charging ahead like lemmings over the cliff.

For today, I don't care about politics, about the injustices in our world. I put my blinders on and revel in the simplicity of sport, of my beloved #BlueJays winning the AL East for the first time in a decade. 💙🩵💙

Once they win elections, it's already too late.

In lighter news, it took me 41 years to realize that Wham!'s "Make it Big" is pretty much a Motown album made by pretty white boys. It's an enigma, capable of being terrible and wonderful by turns. 🩵

The false promise of #tech advancement has long been that it will make life easier, work hours fewer, allowing for increasing leisure. That's been steadily manipulated into surrendering rights, creativity, intelligence, and health instead. It's been a great lie so far, and #AI might be the endgame.
