I work where science and art meet. Neurospicy AF.
Project 2025 is a document that has been circulating from The Heritage Foundation under different names since the 80s. He disavowed it and didn’t campaign on it because he knew it would lose him votes. He is a liar and a con man. Villainize half the country if you want but it smells like surrender.

I have a friend that wants to have you on their podcast. Are you open?

You have to except the increase in nonwhite voters he experienced. True, greatest predictors were GOP affiliation, >65, gender and geo region. However this was a close election and for a sitting Dem to lose black, women, and Latino votes even by a narrow margin is significant and must be analyzed.

You know. When “Miramax” was the ersatz AstroTurf Indy film company. We all know now who and what was behind that bullshit. The Velveeta Brie Rapist.

I think the audiophile dudes I knew were all rich because I seem to recall 1997/8 people burning their own cds from home and handing them out on the streets of NYC. Because back then no one would EVER want to sign with a label and work in a commercial studio. It was the eve of Indy Sell Out.

I saw both the Twin Towers and Lehman Brothers fall, with my own eyes.

(I used to live a short walk from the former, and was in the Starbucks across the street from the latter, as employees started coming out with cardboard boxes.)

I'm Gen X and I've been referring to my firearms as my "retirement plan" for almost a decade already.

Because even TESCREAL adherents who transfer their consciousness to a GPT are going to die.

One of the reasons for this power and money grab at the top is that the biggest transfer of wealth and power in human history is happening and it is supposed to go from boomer to millennial. Some very wealthy people have decided that designer drugs mean they aren’t going die. Gen X will not benefit

Last I checked, millennials are a wee bit financially more sound in Assets-to-Debt ratio than gen-x (genx has high assets, but very high debt load). 🤷‍♀️

And, time is on Millennials' side.

But YES, they're getting a shit sandwich, and I feel for them.

I think this is why my cohort (Gen X) has been kind of backfooted for the last 8 years. We had that, the whole time we were growing up and forming views etc., right up until we didn’t. My best friend from middle school after the election in 2016: “this happened on our watch bc we didn’t watch.”

As a blue collar 51 yr old gen Xer who only stopped living paycheck to paycheck at age 45, I am absolutely disgusted that your life & everything you worked for is being threatened. Anyone finger wagging or saying you don't have the right to be angry is full of shit. We are all in danger!

Trump and his followers are weakening daily. Now. Who is willing to do the work of rebuilding? Surely we can do better than trying to find a democrat Joe Rogan. POLICY.

He helped to build to the ground and the damage is hard to bear the idea that a new American Phoenix may rise, one not beholden to continuous global war can’t even be contemplated here. This is chemotherapy. But the American body can survive it. Even now there are people plotting her renewal.
