Hegseth has to be charged for murder for this because every day we get a new Fox News clip of some ghoul just SALIVATING over getting to kill some civilians right out in the open and they could not be telegraphing more clearly how many more of these they want to do

This is so similar to the stories of so many parents trying to deal with the ever changing and soul crushing NDIS system and trying to access basic education supports for children with complex needs. I cried reading this because it's so relatable.
I think this is my best essay on this topic (maybe my best essay). I'd like you to read it, if you haven't.
It also means (@lollardfish.bsky.social has ably written about this) that you as a parent are forced to concentrate on and narrate your child's difficulties just to get them what they need, which is damaging to your child and your relationship with them.

And as the pamphlet said about the event: history repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.
It's the 174th anniversary of the 18 Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (the event, not the pamphlet).
But of course it's not relevant to our times: it's impossible nowadays to imagine the President of a large republic subverting the constitution to get around its prohibition on a further term in office.

The billionaires who own much of the the infrastructure of our 21st century lives have progressively enshittified that infrastructure while expanding their wealth, and then they scold us for being small-souled peasants who don’t believe in progress anymore.
it is amazing how so much tech gets unremittingly worse year on year at whatever you once used it for and less pleasant to use and more bound up with creepy politics as well as personal and environmental harms and yet also still less productive of actual goods and these are somehow great visionaries
