People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

your last childhood #raincoat
was still all play
ready for action...
shiny, blue,
but soon a size too small
so you grew into the umbrella
losing one hand to the cause
now an awkward observer
at a suddenly longer distance
from the action
on the playground

This is what happens when our realities are swirled around algorithms that do nothing but turn what it knows about us into self-serving echo chambers. None of this should be a mystery and yet it is.
This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country…
Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.
And America shrugged and moved on.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.
Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.

are cloudy or clear
viewing the world
through a veil of #wanderlust
and wondering why
she removes it
only when

LLM is a god we invented and corporations are its missionaries and crusaders. our new deity has zero accountability or responsibility to the truth, but we are told it has the best intentions, and will set us free if we remain blindly faithful. it is the perfect god for our benighted age
