I've taken to calling 2025 the Enfuckening of America.

Saw Hamilton in London at the weekend - "you've seen how it ended, now watch how it all began!"

"Sheeeeeeeit!"

French Revolution levels of inequality, in a scenario where all involved have readily available access to fire arms.

The only thing preventing collective, violent action is the numbing anaesthesia of social media and modern consumerism - but this train is fast running out of track.

I wouldn't blame the collective you - the 'ye', as many would say over here. There's just a massive tranche of people too illiterate, self-centred and "apolitical" to understand how important - and ultimatelt fragile - the American Experiment truly was.

"Compliance in advance is a real challenge in the face of rampant authoritarianism. Here's five ways you can spruce up your home in advance of Palantir's automated inspection this coming Patriot Day.'

No comment! :D

Speaking as an outsider; it's like America wanted to be Rome: the iconography, the bread and circuses, the global hegemony. Then it decided to invent the novelty penis (social media), and it's been a circular firing squad on ethics, attention and solemn governance ever since.

A Congress, fiddling.

Absolute, certified banger.

I just think the way Mulan as a movie handles it is hilarious. It's intended to be "Shang admires Mulan for [his] valour in the face of unstoppable odds and feels deep betrayal at having been lied to" - yet the way it comes across is per the meme. 😄

Always loved Mulan though. Best KDR - true MVP! 🐉

The poor White House getting its own taste of Shock and Awe alas!

The big election to watch in Ireland will be the next General Election; where parties campaign for the Dáil (parliament- pronounced dohyle); and the party with the most votes will elect a Taoiseach (leader or Chieftain - 'tea-shock')

So our President is largely a figurehead - it was a historically low turnout; characterised by a massive number of spoiled votes.

Basically nobody wanted either of the female candidates - and the male candidate was forced to drop out. Connolly will be fine, though I find her decidedly naive.

"I would like to thank my opponent for their opening meme. Allow me to begin my rebuttal a swift exhalation from my nostrils, a link to an obscure substack entirely devoid of moisture and a series of intricate arm-pit fart noises..."

There were also very few attics left. Judging by the East Wing of the White House, I'd say we are about halfway through his demolition of America.
