Prisoner of Social Media. Too weak to escape.
Angry yet apathetic.
And a misanthrope who loves people.
Hobbies include talking to myself of BlueSky and screaming to myself in real life
I saw more wrapped advertising Cybertrucks today in the Bywater than anyone ever should. I also saw a VIP bus stuck in the intersection of Dauphine and Piety trying to make an impossible left on the centuries old street.

That's enough Superbowl for me, y'all have a Musky one, those that celebrate.

I was at the market and an acquaintance came up to me from behind and said "I knew it was you, I'd recognize your walk anywhere"

"What? I always thought I walked like a normal person" replied I.

"You do not"

WTF? And nobody on this godforsaken platform knows how I walk to even ask.

Fuck

I don't want to know the society hating anarchist who can't enjoy the dystopian black mirror-esque commercial hellscape of Suoer Bowl in the Quarter.

I saw the Lombardi trophy and Juvenile autographed my Chee weez! They offered free Doritos tattoos and the line was long!

Big Brother met FritoLay

Posting on blue sky is like painting graffiti in an abandones city.

That's my scrawl.

In 2nd grade I had to write an apology letter to a girl I was accused of bullying. I seethed at the unfairness, I never bullied her.

If the teacher was smart, I would have had to apologize for not standing up for the girl. Of that I was guilty.

Teacher fucked up. I took the wrong lesson to heart

My plan is to survive.

Life often sucks.

Mundane horror is a very common state for society, maybe the most common.

We've been lucky to have lived in a rare break from it, but the numbers always regress to the mean.

Adjusting expectations of who will save you is the key to mental health.

I found out today that my child was written up for bullying a foreign kid. Ugh.

So, driving home from her mom's house where we all had a very important talk, Suicidal Tendencies came on my mix and I muttered 'dang,this is so loud and screechy' and switched it to Gordon Lightfoot.

So thats me now.

But, really, no one learns anything.

God forbid anyone admits they were wrong, easier to double down. Or triple..

I'd think these folks were bots if I hadn't witnessed them breathing.

It is not hard to say "Maybe not voting against the billionaire and the dictator on day one was a mistake"

The thing I can hang my hat on is that despite being an anarchist with no love for Kamala, I never was one of those goofball cosplaying leftist TikTok chuds that wouldn't shut up about Kamala and Trump being the same on Palestine, not voting, and helping to usher in fascism and the end of Palestine

Wait, everyone who said we could believe Senator Cassidy that he was wavering on RFK Jr because he was a doctor first and a republican second were wrong?

All the phone calls did not actually matter? But I was told they were listening.

His previous statements were meaningless?

Ok, next time!

This mornings Substack. I didn't even email this to my 'subscribers'. I see that people read it, substack tells me, but I get little feedback, less than even here. I am just writing to make sense of this. I am happy that I can publicly admit we failed. time to move on.
Day 4
From despair comes hope. Or is it the other way around. Fucking YinYang shit that's over my head.

New novel idea:

A meteor hits the Earth killing everybody except the 20,000 laziest Americans, including me.

It avoids the usual dystopian tropes of marauding gangs, navy seals and genius inventors.

Can we survive when we are too apathetic to do anything about it.

It's a parable… You see?

1984 I saw the most bad ass album cover a 9th grader could imagine, an electric chair and lightining! And the band name was so cool. METALLICA!

What? it started with an acoustic guitar? I was pissed for 15 seconds.

And then it kicked in.

I've never had such a musical shock to the system again.

I know I'm just a schmuck, but why aren't the Dems in Congress demanding that the unelected guy who stole control of America's 6 trillion dollar treasury get arrested?

It's almost like no one cares but the schmucks.

I don't look for conspiracy theories, but I don't deny the obvious.

The ketamine man in chief has said we need a very deadly plane accident to stop DEI.

He fires the folks in charge of plane safety.

A few days later a woman pilot is involved in a very deadly plane accident blamed on DEI.

Brah.

Wtf,brah.

I go out, watch a parade. Get drunk. Come home and find out I now hate Canada?

I really need to quit drinking...yet I also need to drink more.

This is all too much.

Thanks for my space, I don't talk politics in the real world. I just vent here.

Remember m, saying 'they'd never do that, that would crash the economy' is silly.

They want to crash the economy. It's the plan. And he ain't worrying about re-election as it's already in the bag.

Reality first.

I am officially a Prepper.

Monday morning I am heading to Costco and buying 30 days of tuna and chicken cans. And loads of my protein powder.

Diabetic preppers have it rough diet-wise, but I ain't surviving the crap to come just to have my kidneys fail on me.

What would be funny is if Trudeau tonight just declared "We are tired of America's sissy ass wavering on if they will tariff us. They're boring and stupid, so we are tariffing them first 'cause fuck it"

They shoulda made me the Big Mega Moose Horn , or whatever it is they call the king of Canada.

Obviously I want my thoughts to run better than the rat grabbing the cheese squeaking "Trump did this, Trump did that!" but what is going on at the Treasury department right now is the endgame already.

The game is over.

A corpse is always the last to know it is dead, we don't even realize.

Wow. Severance is so good.

I watched it all this week and I'm pretty mind blown by its awesomeness.

Maybe my favorite show ever.

And available on every pirate streaming service because I remember that the Apple dude prostrates himself to the dear leader and he ain't getting my money to do so.

Me and the 7 year old played 911 tonight.

Her: This is 911, what's the emergency"

Me: My foot is stuck in a bear trap and the volcano lava is approaching.

Her: Fuck you

I admit her shocking twist made me crack up. My constant laughter is gonna make her grow to be a horrible human being.

Typed this into my barely used and barely read old substack. Little difference than here but I don't have to count characters and edit out punctuation to get it down to 300.

These will be my cave drawings.
Day one.
Well day 19,401, but every day is a fresh start

The only rebellion we have is to keep creating.

History will not be written by us, we are the losers.

We can leave kernels of truth, scraps of evidence of who us proles really were.

The only cavemen anyone remembers are the ones who scrawled on walls.

I am proud Antifa.

If it comes down to disliking fascism being a prosecutable crime, they can come get me.

But someone will have to take care of my turtle. She likes dried river fish, which look just like mushrooms. Don't mix them up.

Also, she may be a he. Sexing turtles is not my strongpoint.
