Crazy to give the Nobel Peace Prize to someone pushing for war on behalf of Trump.

Interesting how Obama is congratulating a person who is aggressively pro-Trump and pro-Netanyahu. While Marco Rubio is pushing for war with Venezuela, as María Corina Machado demanded.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 1d

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Crazy how it seems that the US government is in shutdown while China is crashing the US economy and Trump is getting ready to do genocide in Venezuela.

I put a random poem at the end of essays and pretend it's a conclusion.

When musicians don’t know how to end a song, they just fade out. I think other writers should do that too. Sketch comedy, screenwriting, playwrights. Have everyone talk softer and softer as they slowly sneak off stage.
Novelists can end chapters with gradually shrinking type.

i know i tend to have a pretty harsh line on political and historical literacy but if you think the primary cause of conflict in the near and middle east is religion rather than much more modern, material political forces, you're a world-class dumbshit and should reconsider that perspective

La gente con 40 años es joven, excepto si tienes que contratarla. Los jóvenes no tienen sueldo suficiente para pagar la casa al contrario de la gente de 40 que tampoco. Un conflicto peliagudo entre jóvenes y viejos que para nada es una cortina de humo para el verdadero conflicto entre ricos y pobres

AMIGOS, LOS MILLENNIALS RONDAN LOS CUARENTA PALOS Y ESTÁN CON LA CRISIS DE LA MEDIANA EDAD. NOS TENEMOS QUE UBICAR, EH.
