"indifference calls for a great commitment to nonvision. To ignore things demands incredible mental energy...and can place you beyond the frontiers of compassion, heal-ing, and love. When you become indifferent, you give all your power away."

Not a *shred* of introspection.
"I hate you but I love what you're doing"
Hrm, maybe re-evaluate why you feel like you hate someone who's trying to help you? Maybe think about who told you to hate him and why?

Probably because Kirk was killed by a lone shooter from the schizo-right who later turned himself in and is currently in the process of a full trial.
But Renee Good was executed by a masked agent of the state in cold blood on camera in an American city and they're lying about it

LOL I just got fired.
95% sure it was related to my Twitter account, but will not be saying more about that. No time to look backwards.
Time to all-in on what's next:
A video podcast I'm starting called "Narrative Violation"
Got 5 guests set.
Who all should I be talking to?

The assignment now given to all Right Wing bootlicking simps is simple:
Pretend the video justifies the execution of that woman, when it clearly shows aggressively poor training and judgment clouded by racism, fear, and legal impunity.

Holy shit it's just *always* been the circus.
The West Wing tricked the millennial mind - mine included - into being unable to see what's real right in front of us.
Because we really wanted to believe.

"The Violent Left" in one Infographic.
The problem is that math, like reality, has a well-documented "liberal" bias.
Which is actually why it's been so hard for Elon to make Grok answer how he wants without explicit carve-outs - his worldview is not based in fact or reality.

I am more and more convinced that right-wingers are like this because they surround themselves with sociopaths to the point they don't know when they're broken inside because they're the same as the people they are regularly around.
Traumatized people traumatizing their kids.

I took most of December off work.
Probably spent an average of 14 hours with my wife and kids every day.
I loved it and never found myself in a murderous rage.
Would do that every day for the rest of my life if I didn't have to work.

The collapse of America will not be televised.
You could look at this and not know *anything* about *anything* important happening in the world on your behalf.
They do this to make *the people paying attention* sound crazy when they tell their neighbors what's happening.

It is *wild* to me how *little* the orange fuckwit had to DO to get every right-winger to surrender their dignity and suck his dick on main.
The Right is now an unfathomably complete black hole for dignity and peace.
I just can't believe how cheaply they sold themselves.

I spend $100s at @ThriftBookow every year, but I'm about to quit using their app because it gives me this bullshit every time I open it now.

If you're madder about some made-up racist ragebait than:
- Trump's illegal oil war in Venezuela
- ICE detaining US citizens without recourse
- Congress authorizing $8.6B OF YOUR TAX MONEY for FOR ISRAEL
Then perhaps you are simply not equipped to understand this moment.

Twtter has been incredibly good to me, and I expect this will continue, but my relationship to the site is going to have to evolve to match the site's devolution.
For now, imma go lay down by the fire and hold my wife's hand. Because it is fucking *good* to be alive.

I read replies to one of my tweets today and, after about 30 seconds, I realized it was like drinking drain-o.
I used to use this website for *connection* but it's gotten so bad that it's barely usable unless I want my insides to feel like toxic sludge.
I mean, look how broken:

It is December 19th, nearly the Winter Solstice, and the lilacs think it is Spring.
Probably nothing. Definitely not a sign that Things Are Breaking.
Let's not pay attention to this and, instead, invade another country for its oil (and for the distraction)

Big things are being born this month in the Peasant Home.
The boys have started writing songs together and, chat, they're putting up absolute bangers I'm not even kidding.
I feel like a midwife, in the best way, these days.
