I could be wrong. I'm probably wrong. But my brain's stuck in a glue trap, a spring-shut foot trap, a cage box with trigger snap. Have to blab because it hurts.

Hey technazis! The mind is not machinery! It's flesh & blood memories, kalidoscopic feelings, horrors, hopes, thrilling connections, flow, forthcoming-ness, learning & invention. It's animal, it's ephemeral, it's liquid, it's fire. It's grief. It's comedy. Dead world coming.

Once they were exposed, they followed up with: 1) Stupidly transparent attempts to divert attention by yelling really loudly and incoherently; 2) The balls to speak on talk shows as if they're actually still right; as if no one had even called them out 😵‍💫 😬 🙄

I've worried about this for two years. The midterms are going to be utterly nerve-obliterating. I want to be in cryosleep, or a faraway forest retreat, or a homemade fort under my bed as Nov. 3 approaches.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

El-Sayed on RFK JR: It goes back to the fact that they appointed a guy who takes his kids swimming in Schitt's Creek. I find it personally offensive that my dude works out in jeans. Either he is not really working out or he just has massive calluses on the inside of his legs. It is not right

We should all be disgusted of the White House Press Corp. No one walked out No one told Trumpy to go fuck himself. No one said mean things to Trumpy after he chopped down another pillar of American Democracy. No one asked for proof any of them published 'fake news'. No one did anything. Sad.
