There was a Lewis Black joke about this topic, decades ago. I fucking hate that we now live in a world where the rage against stupidity on stage is rooted in our eality.

For years, against what my body wanted, I stayed awake during the day, then tried and failed to sleep at night. I did it for my job, my person and, becasue I thought it was what ‘normal’ people did.
I’m not doing that any longer. I feel so much more alert and calm in the dark hours of the day.

I am so grateful to not being forced into working Black Friday coverage—outside of my regular duties as a writer/editor—to prop up my employer’s bottom line. Telling folks to buy cheap TVs when many people can’t afford the cost of living is evil bullshit.

ICE is using Uber stickers in order to disguise themselves and kidnap people. Spread this for awareness!

Russian Colonel Gen Makarevich, who blew up Nova Kakhovka dam in Ukraine in 2023, has been sent to Venezuela to lead Russia’s military advisory mission there.
By blowing up the dam, he killed around 200 civilians.
As I mentioned, Russia managed to use DJT to push Maduro closer to them.
