Abandon the Liberal/Conservative dichotomy

Your neighbors are not the cause of your problems

Everyone has the right to be whoever they want to be.

Henry Kissinger is dead.
An utter nihilist devoted to being close to power his entire life.
He thinly disguised psychopathy as strategy.
He poisoned our future before most of us were ever born.
He was responsible for the deaths of millions.
Whatever hell exists is entirely too good for him.

As we watch even the Federalist Society become too cautious for MAGA, or see yesterday's hardcore enablers get labeled as "RINOs," are we seeing a similar chain reaction?

Can the members of today's GOP still "jump over their own shadow?" Or is that race already lost?

Finally reading Arendt's EICHMANN IN JERUSALEM and sat up with recognition at the idea that the Nazi "movement" kept becoming more radical until it outpaced its own "members"... until they could no longer "jump over their own shadow" as Hitler himself put it.

Let it be known that one of the last great Appalachian mountain men died and was buried this week. He was 88 years old and was my uncle. He was funny, he loved animals deeply (he fell and broke his hip while trying to feed the cats) he was funny and loving and his name was Hack. God Rest Hack.

The inherent problem with almost every take on the current national/global chaos is that it treats these situations as having immediate broad simple solutions as next steps without having an actual plan of what to do. No clear goals or ways of achieving them.

It is a depressing reality that globally there will be more authoritarian, brutally conservative governments are going to be more and more the norm. Less rights for LGBT. More stringent immigration laws. More human rights abuses. Less justice, accountability and mercy.

If you are using Osama Bin Laden as an argument for a cease fire you are 1) bad at making a winning case and 2) an idiot/asshole
In his letter to america Bin Laden advocated for terrorism against civillians, Sharia law and Islamic supremacy while also not wasting his opportunity to attack homosexuality and Jews

If you are a leftist and are unironically agreeing with Osama, are you a true leftist, or do you just hate america?

In 1976, a book called GOLFING FOR CATS by British satirist Alan Coren came out with a big SWASTIKA on the cover.

Coren explained that he wanted to help shops promote his work and the three most popular categories of books at the time were Sports, Pets, and the Third Reich.

I still think about it.

Mad about the shelving of Coyote VS Acme?

Then push for Congress to pass Zaslav’s Law.

If a film is shelved solely for a tax write off, it becomes the property of the cast & crew. They can then do whatever they want with it, & keep whatever money it makes.

If you are expecting the Europeans to lead the way in common sense climate policy: boy are you wrong.

Somehow the EU listed "wood" as renewable so more forests were cut down to make wood pellets to burn for electricity. Which is more wasteful and harmful for the environment than oil or gas.

The company’s stock price plunged as its new interim CEO announced financial losses. Environmentalists had long questioned a business model they said was based on greenwashing.

This makes me think that maybe the climate apocalypse is a good thing
Pretty impressive to watch how quickly this went from "here is a burrito i made" to "posting food on bluesky is triggering" to "kill yourself"
