The anarchists are in the anti room. Nullifying your paradigm. Now your grandfather clock? Can't even keep time.
Imagine a world with no possessions. John Lennon said. He said it was easy if you tried. And I think he meant at The Hague.

We will argue about whether or not this is actual fascism and we can call it that until it transmogrifies into actual fascism. At which point everyone will finally be satisfied.

And that is rare in politics.
But I’m a philosopher. Got a fancy ass degree. So it’s no surprise to me. People be crazy.

I used to publicly defend John Cleese. But that ended when he invaded Poland.
He can’t get away with these things. Who does he think he is? Michael Palin?
Little known fact. The character of Stefan Urkel was based on Michael Palin.

Wake me when they arrest a single billionaire. There is no shortage of crimes.
Maybe they can learn something from China in this regard.

I log in every day mostly to see if the president has dropped. Because I really want to drink this sparkling cider.

On this day, in 2023, Brianna Ghey was murdered by transphobes. On this day, in 2015, Özgecan Aslan was murdered by a rapist. That which is remembered lives and may there be granted unto them the accomplishment of their wills!

Pretty much everything I have to say about our deranged modern situation is most concentrated in Dead Astronauts, although also running through all my work.

Absolutely insane that they would not indict with these details. God I hope I am missing something.
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

"Stop paying attention to these raped children, we're making you rich." Even in this administration this is an insane way to believe you can deflect from this.
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

This is absolutely identical to Brecht's stories from Fear and Misery in the Third Reich. The difference is we still have time to act, for now.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

One thing we’ve learned from the Epstein files is that all those awful rich dudes were as bad as we thought and also pedophiles/besties with pedophiles and cool with it.

You laugh. But Joe Rogan was also a game show host. And I think he is the next president of the United States. Or at least a strong 26% of it. Most other people are just trying to find potable water.

H2O. You think that’s real? Bro?

Man. If we could just move past this Trump road block. And get on to whatever the next phase is of the decline of the American empire. I’m sure we would all. Breathe.

The people who have been treating "Born in the USA" as a patriotic anthem for 40+ years shouldn't really be complaining about song lyrics they can't understand.

If only giant networks could hire people who can understand Spanish. Of whom there is no shortage.
Alford: "On Bad Bunny - we're still investigating. There's info out about the lyrics. I don't speak fluent Spanish, but if it's true what was said on natl TV, we have a lot of Qs for entities that broadcast it & we'll be talking w/ the FCC. This could be worse than the Janet wardrobe malfunction"

I have NEVER seen large news outlets more disconnected from reality.

And I witnessed the rise of Reagan/Clinton & the run up to the invasion of Iraq.

It’s incredibly dangerous. 100’s of thousands r going to die. Maybe millions.

And that’s not including the climate wall we’re going to hit in 2027.

Once the corps and oligarchs 100% took the news mass media it was really game over wasn’t it?

Reagan killed the fairness doctrine. Clinton & Repubs then scrapped rules prohibiting media consolidation. Followed by 25 yrs of mergers, hiring careerists & firing real journalists and here we are.
