Humanity's self annihilating drives are very manifest in the unprecedented acceleration of change in the last 200 years. If anything survives it will probably not be what we have previously referred to as human. youtu.be/wlrjdCVAuG0?...

Molly Ivins:

There is no such thing as objectivity, and
the truth, that slippery little bugger, has
the oddest habit of being way to hell off
on one side or the other: it seldom
nestles neatly halfway between any two
opposing points of view. The smug complacency of much of the press—I have heard many an editor say, “Well, we’re
being attacked by both sides so we must
be right”—stems from the curious notion that if you get a quote from both
sides, preferably in an official position,
you’ve done the job. In the first place,
most stories aren’t twosided, they’re
17-sided at least. In the second place, it’s
of no help to either the readers or the
truth to quote one side saying, “Cat,”
and the other side saying “Dog,” while
the truth is there’s an elephant crashing
around out there in the bushes."

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Many on the far-right believe we’re going too far when we call this administration a fascist regime. But we’re simply watching its actions & speaking the truth of what they’re doing. Decide for yourself. Look at what they’ve done & how it matches up to fascism. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

security did not save charlie kirk. a vest would not have saved charlie kirk. the only thing that would have saved him is if our administrations actually had reasonable gun control in the aftermath of the last hundred school shootings.

Felon/GOP’s politically motivated military occupation, like what you would expect from a hostile enemy nation, is an ATTACK on USA prosperity! Blue states/cities are the economic engine, providing the MAJORITY of funding for red states/cities! Crime rates are higher in red states/cities/rural areas!

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Newsom: We got here because the President is struggling. We got here because the President is one of the most unpopular presidents in U.S. history. We got here because he recognizes that he will lose the election.

The Trump-worshipping state of Alabama has a homicide rate that’s 3 times higher than the rate in New York City. But you never hear Trump talking about the crime crisis in Alabama.

Nihilism, the end point of western methods of inquiry, is not bad. It's the clearing away of the debris of our unfounded expectations. It can be a door into another way of looking at the human condition that can be freedom. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye5p...

Free will is an outdated folk term. It does not serve philosophy well.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.
