Expert Explains Why, Essentially, You’re Fucked
"We have the ... Mr. Carson, do we have the ...?" "Yes sir. The meat, sir." " ... ah, yes, the meat. We do have it!"
Waiting for @edzitron.com to finally say something I disagree with (no luck so far) so I can use this lovely Bottom gif.

Instead of imposing the sanctions he promised he defunded support for the Baltics. Pathetic but not surprising.

I took this picture myself at the CDC protest today. These are among the hundreds of bullet holes in CDC headquarters windows, visible from the street. I heard today that the admin has no urgent plan to fix these windows. Imagine being a CDC employee going to work under these conditions
Refreshing frankness about the AI hype.
Starting to get a little concerned that maybe, just maybe, RFKjr will need another couple of weeks to "know what has caused the Autism epidemic and [...] be able to eliminate those exposures".

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.

I remember being on a train in Eastern Europe and being terrorized in the middle of the night by officious men in epaulets demanding to see everyone's papers. I said to my friend, "Glad we don't live in a 'show me your papers' country." That seems rather quaint now. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Big part of why I left the US:
If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

NEW: “I’ve had enough…I’m refusing to back down.” Texas state Rep. Nicole Collier speaks to MSNBC from the Texas State Capitol. She is stuck there after the Texas GOP required police surveillance as condition for release. She is refusing to sign a waiver for the law enforcement escort.
“‘I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts,’ Collier said in a statement that called her a ‘political prisoner’ for refusing Republican ‘surveillance protocol.’” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
Having seen this, or something similar to this, up close happening to a loved one, I can say that I do not wish it upon anyone. Not even to a character as unsympathetic as Jorban Peeepooson.
Great article. However, it is always worth pointing out that PragerU is not a university. apnews.com/article/okla...
The painfully stupid and needy Donald is trying to spin all the European leaders coming with Zelensky as somehow an honor. It is an honor to Zelensky. And a disgrace for Trump. They are there because they thought Trump treated Zelensky shamefully last time. And they don't trust him.
"If you don't stand for the invocation, I'll have you removed" was what Lt Gov of TX Patrick said as he threatened to have Texans removed from the gallery if they didn't stand to participate in a prayer. We are not a Christian Nation & no one should have to participate in prayer. #Pinks
there are 250 Democrats in Congress who should be out on the streets telling these folks to go home right now
Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.

Gulf of Epstein
Wrote about the most violent day in D.C.'s history, January 6, 2021, the current takeover of that city by the guy who instigated it, the right-wing snowflakes complaining they're afraid to walk down the street, and why the right fears and loathes cities (and lies about why). Bonus Epstein finale.
Honestly, I’m grateful to the current administration for revealing the nation to me in a way I’d never appreciated. I honestly didn’t know that so many of us are cruel. And amoral. And, frankly, dumb. I didn’t know, and I feel like a fool for not knowing. michaelianblack.substack.com/p/the-ice-cr...
Our whole lives the gun owners claimed they needed arms to prevent a police state, yet here we are, with many of the same characters taking over cities, brushing aside elected governments, & goose-stepping with great enthusiasm. How predictable was that?

After 12 years (this time) I've left the US. There are many things I will miss about my second home country, but things were getting bad and did not seem like they were going to get better anytime soon. Excited to restart life in Europe.
One of the most "I think you should leave" moments Ihave witnessed: the Better Made delivery guy getting treated like royalty.
Boldest move will be for Los Angeles to cancel the Olympics rather than submit to this 1936 horseshit. Yank the entire event as a stark and historic emergency flare shot up into the sky.
All the shitty, awful technologies are going FULL SPEED AHEAD. Meanwhile, we have new vaccine technologies that could *literally cure cancer, a thing we've been trying to do since we found out cancer was a thing* and to that, RFK just mumbles "nah" through a mouthful of roadkill. This is the worst.
We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans. Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.
Had the last day at my job today. 12 years. Now it's focus on the move. New possibilities.
despite everything, i still believe in the potential of humankind to create utopia. but it will require hard work, courage, and above all else extremely deep v-necks that go almost down to the dick

Some people really don't have a deep personal connection with food and that's cool but also I do feel bad for them because food is so much more than just a thing you eat, it's the great cultural and intercultural glue of the species
Trump was asked 8 days ago if Bondi told him his name appeared in the Epstein files -- and of course he lied about it
I'm soon moving to a very different time zone, so this might be one of my last movie nights. 🍌😢🤘 Thanks for all the chuckles!
Here's a clip about it from Aussie tv news: youtu.be/6zZGcqj4fRc?...
It’s very dangerous to ignore these statements from Trump as mere distractions from Epstein The Trump administration has purged the DOJ and FBI of people who worked on January 6 cases, is prosecuting a Democratic Congresswoman and has threatened other Democrats America is facing an age of tyranny
I fucking try to say "fuck" as many fucking times as fucking possible, but Hunter Fucking Biden leaves me in the fucking dirt. Fuck.
