feds have been all over chicagoland today.

reports of people abducted from back of the yards, cicero, rogers park, hermosa, barrington, batavia, and bridgeview.

feds are out in force in aurora. not sharing video, but residents have likewise turned out in force—and they aren't happy.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

the only candidate, of either party, who followed the semi-official Consultant Playbook and won, within the last twenty full years, was joe biden in 2020. obama and trump both consistently "fuck you we're doing it my way" guys.

The most effective Democratic messenger of my lifetime is the guy who broke every single rule Democrats are currently trying to follow: Barack Hussein Obama, the guy with the weird name who talked like a professor, made sweeping appeals to higher principles, and never once appeared salt-of-the-earth

you have it backwards, zeitgeist was aping adam curtis' aesthetics

he's a little too focused on Great Man narratives but he's also objectively correct about how we're going to survive the interesting times in the cool zone so sometimes you accept that the best yarns come from bullshitters,

at this point i would be cautious of the possibility that you are ruining some scam or other thats getting run, but i have a lot of associations with the "gosh its all just so complicated can you explain this again?" tactic from people who definitely know better

yes, that is correct your majesty, there is a huge fire right now

Stills from Three Kingdoms (2010) Liu Bei is waking up in a room that is massively on fire

A soldier rushes in to report

Soldier: The fire is too big.

The room they are standing in is still on fire

Soldier: Yes. Our camps are all located within forest, and the dry weather has made everything flammable.

i think the root problem here is that the cops are on the side of the masked thugs shooting and kidnapping people in the street, and not the politicians we vote for, and we've run out of room to avoid confronting that as a civil society.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."
