Does it matter?
"It's so much worse than you imagine " dept pt. 666; did you see what's happening with the Federal Reserve? Say whatever you want, but undoing the underpinnings of Government is the last stage of a failed state.

This isn't a joke. ICE shot Good in the face. I phrase it that way on purpose, and here's why- I want those who would justify it to have to tell me why it's right and proper for ICE to shoot Good in the face.

Nothing heavy, but still might make some feel a way- everything " good" about Stranger Things had nothing to do with the showrunners or the writing. What does that tellyou?

What if the abduction wasn't " colonial" but was the use of state force to benefit an individual? What if it was the " royal we"? Replace " we" with " I", and I think you have the picture.

Don't y'all get it, yet? " release the files" or other plays are just people wishing that the third of the country who are overtly and explicitly fascist to give up their cult of personality. They won't. Half the country is fascist. Expect nothing from them.

Repeating what I said 5 years ago, on another platform- until and unless there are northward of 30000 arrests, our country doesn't take Jan 6 seriously.

As long as we're ditching the fictions- believe whatever you want, you have no protection. Just saying.

Are you aware that "taste" is subjective? Really? Then, why are you dogging on other people's taste?

A difference I have seen- I don't want to " live like a king". Oh, sure, I appreciate the modern convenience and comfort, and I like autonomy- but authority and power hold little appeal. If you do, well bully for you, but none for me, thanks.

A present to myself. A #harleybentonte52 . I have opinions.

If I could travel forward through time, that would be like reading the latest page of some depressing Russian novel. Backwards? That's like screaming at the teenagers in some slasher movie.

I know this is texting the void, but for all the talk of " rule of law", you'll note the distinct lack of Marshals at the DOJ today. You'll note that Hegseth isn't being fitted for shackles, and so on.

Rob Reiner, huh? That's too bad, and it doubly sucks if it was his son. Because we, the public, don't know what was going on, but we'll assume and that'll have a " knock on" effect on loads of other people.

Just a super friendly reminder- yeah, it's overwhelming. Always is. So, prioritize your concerns, by whatever metrics work for you.

Y'know, it's not enough to primary any given politician. Find out who the donors are, and consider any other politician recipients from that donor a " no go". Pretending that we have a democracy won't help under an oligarchical plutocracy

I don't think the Revolution ( tm) has started or anything, but I do like that Momdani is younger than me.

Hey #bluesky, I am ok with people being serial, and all, but what's with all the " gooning" content? I haven't engaged with anything like that, so what gives?
October 30, 2025 at 6:07 PM
Vibes, thoughts, prayers, good juju request- got a lot of unexpected adverse events recently. Not quite " homeless and hungry" or in the hospital type, so measured response but yeah, could use the positive...

OK, a use for AI content- as a " filter" for conventional, low effort thought. If a given piece of " content" seems like an algorithm could have generated it, it's definitely lowest common denominator stuff.

Nobody but me department- I know why old white folks showed up to #nokings - Medicare and retirement was " on the line" in their minds.

Regarding the NY debate- " recognize Israel as a Jewish state"- well, that depends upon some meanings, doesn't it? Like, is a " Jewish state" an Ethno state? A theocracy? What do you mean?

So, today, we managed to capture " Mama Cat" and her two youngest kittens. She is so named because this is her second, maybe third litter, and she's at most 2 years old. Spay and neuter, people. Or, remove the comma.

Hats off to all those who absolutely *have to* find their own way, in whatever they do. Those who find " normal" impossible, and those who duct tape and WD40 their way through it all.

Following up- so, for a personal example- I know some zionist types that are only now examining the current State of Israel. I don't believe it's in good faith. I believe that the " change 0f heart" isn't. Because I see the delay betrays the motivation.
