Over the last few weeks I've become completely incapable of answering the question 'how are you' like a normal human being. I just sort of end up staring emptily at the person. Like, how the fuck do you think I am? I am full of hate and horror and moral purpose. How are you?

Sundays are for pajamas, playing on your phone, and a vague yet pervasive existential dread

I’m just saying it feels like this level of sustained anxiety should be burning more calories than this

He could be doing good. They'd be demonising him like they have with Bill Gates but he could use that fortune to end hunger, cure disease, bring fresh water to those who do not have it, to end poverty. Instead he wants a race to Mars with his mates and to punish the poor for poverty. Truly vile man.

Oh hey, it's me!

THIS is how it’s done, folks.

Pretty damn spot-on, don’t you think?

Never forget that in 1861 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter to a friend..

“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything"

...because this is my favorite reminder that we can do great things even if we don't always have great days

ah yes another beautiful morning, time to decide if I want to be informed and frozen in panic, or willfully ignorant with a numbing background dread

It takes a lot to beat Brexit as an inane act of national self-sabotage, but the US appointing an anti-vaxxer to health secretary might be worse.

A reminder that just in the last few weeks Trump has:

-suggested convicted Jan 6th insurrectionists are “hostages” (while actual American hostages are still being held by Hamas).
-used fascist blood purity rhetoric.
-(once again) refused to commit to the NATO alliance.

These aren’t normal or explicable things. We shouldn’t pretend they are.

And this is why you don’t sack your content moderation staff

Unbearable to watch what is happening and feel so utterly powerless and without hope. It's as terrible a situation as I've ever seen.
