Iβve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace
Understanding our current predicament requires acknowledging that every single conservative from the establishment βintellectualsβ like Ross to the lowest jug hooting simpleton has driven themselves insane via a media diet that hasnβt communicated a single true fact to any of them in 6 years
An early childhood class assigned us to watch the hour and a half made for TV movie, Everybody's Baby: The Rescue of Jessica McClure. It's on YouTube and feels way more like a Twin Peaks episode than you'd expect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIOL...
I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity
Encanto.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.
Donald Trumpβs FIFA Peace Prize as ashes and bones.
Still canβt quite believe FIFA would design their Peace Prize this way.
this is excellent advice that i wish iβd seen before i got up to take a leak

Seeing this media news about a new GI Joe movie helmed by a serial predator hours later, after international news breaks of a war in Iran helmed by a serial predator/President. All these failsons have a Saturday morning cartoon understanding of war and human suffering.
Wow! A lost short film by George Méliès from 1897 (!!) is discovered by Library of Congress archivists! It was in a box of old films donated by the great-grandson of a traveling showman who staged film screenings to astounded 19th century audiences.
You can watch it at the link.
If itβs not the same day, just a 24 hour period: five mile run in the early evening, followed by a few small beers and tacos. Then wake up, 1-2 beers and tacos (Iβm not worried about the tacos at all). Let that settle. Another 5 mile run. Beers and tacos till early evening again.
Yes. I would be getting paid. However, itβll be a heck of a day. The 50 million will assist recovery.
The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.
He spent a year in jail for this.

All, another FYI.
Here's a gift link re: the FBI raiding LAUSD's HQ + the school chief.
One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day
No thank you. Thatβs not a Valentine Iβm interested in.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
very funny to me to see folks who have no social media presence outside of twitter say you have to be on twitter to be influential
Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than itβs been in decades & itβs purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism
i'm trying to think of a worse way to think about this question and i don't think i actually can.
What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve?
If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days?
If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built?
It's a tax. That's all it is.
Itβs a Wonderful Life bank run scene.
βYou're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.β
