Scientist. Progressive. Gen X. Agnostic. Geek. Tend to rant and rave.
I’m just tired of the hypocrisy. Just absolutely done with it.

Take it from scientists:
These are authoritarian lies.
Trump and Project 2025 are destroying American science.
They already have done great damage. American science has been forever changed and diminished.

“But Superman, stopping that country from invading another was politically fraught”
“THEY WERE GOING TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!”
James Gunn made a movie that says this: people worrying about politics are not the heroes. The people trying to stop mass murder are the heroes.
That’s that on that

Also, I don’t know if I should feel proud or mortified that my teen kid consistently beats or ties me on Song Quiz, regardless of decade. They’ll trounce me on the ‘10s & ‘20s, usually wins the ‘00s, and breaks even or wins on every other decade, even the 60’s. Don’t know if I’ve done the ‘50s yet.

In other news I have a new song I cannot stand. Doechii’s “Anxiety”. I’m starting to cringe as hard as I used to whenever I heard “Toxic”.
Thing is, I like “Somebody That I Used to Know” but it’s starting to diminish thanks to that other accursed song.

Kind of depressed about the world. The U.S. decline into fascism (which NO ONE saw coming 🙄) isn’t helping, nor my home situation… but Nitzer Ebb’s Douglas McCarthy passing at 58 (just 7 years older than me) is kind of getting to me.

In other news, even though my health numbers say I shouldn’t even be looking at these let along buying and eating them, the Ketchup Doritos are really tasty. Much better than the Sriracha ones.

Then again, the Current Regime Head is a WWE Hall of Famer so who knows? But I bet he didn’t like the fact he’s a suspected pedo being brought up.

I wasn’t buying the Trump-Musk feud… I thought it was just another one of those diversionary tactics the Current Regime Head uses to distract from other issues. But when Musk brought up Epstein, made me rethink if this was fake feud or not.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

Video of a student in my town who wrote a political op-ed being grabbed off the street by government agents bsky.app/profile/pale...
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
