Most of my teachers were boomers, and several of them never missed a chance to insult gen x on how we'd ruin the perfect world they had worked hard to create. Some of my fellow gen x sold out and became boomer lackeys, and they also suck, but the boomers laid the foundation. They elected Reagan!

Somewhere, Stephen Miller is flustered as he tries to fabricate fake Epstein files to release, to fool MAGAs - But it's turning out like the "McLovin" fake ID.

In a fairer government, those unaffected by a policy should not set those policies. 80 year old senators will not be around to suffer the consequences of their policies. Billionaires should not set policy for the poor, as they exist outside of the realities of financial struggle.

I'd like to suggest the modern struggle could be reduced to: Who gets to decide how comfortable others can be? Should the *most* comfortable (in wealth, privilege, rights) be allowed to dictate which people can feel safe, healthy, fed? Has opportunities? Can feel peace of mind?

None of the young people today will ever again know the ordeal of "stay in and watch a rental" movie dates. You had to pick a movie! Physically go find it. Rent it. Hope they like it. Because you had to watch it. You didn't have a smart TV with 1000 other options.

If a person tries to open the jet aircraft door at 40,000 ft, you'd stop them. That's essentially what Trump is doing with the economy. If this isn't justification for invoking the 25th, what is?

We all heard about the markets taking a dive today. News media treats market turns like supernatural events. The market is this magical entity! What will it do? Who can know? Nope. It's just fucking gambling. Rich people making bets. Buying and selling abstractions to maximize profits. Not magic.

The most obvious observation ever, yet somehow needs to be repeated daily: The party that seeks to limit what you can learn, say, believe, or do - is not the party of liberty and freedom. The US has never been an exclusively white & christian nation. And gay people have always been with us.

I'm confused about why we're trying to stop Trump or Elon. Those blowhards talk and talk and talk - but ultimately require toadies to do their bidding. So let's stop these toadies. Jam them up, confound them. Derail, impede, block. Make T&E do their own dirty work - and they won't. Watch.

One the exceedingly slight chance anyone a) reads this and is b) in a position to change their stance on the pursuit of wealth above all else: If you weren't already a billionaire before this election, you're never going to be. The bros already picked the winners. You're not one of them.

Back in the 90's, fewer people were openly zealous about firearms - and they were often labeled "gun nuts". When pressed why they needed an arsenal, "defend against tyranny" was a popular claim. Well, tyranny has arrived. The well-regulated militia hasn't. Perhaps these folks weren't sincere?

When I was younger, I fantasized about living in a remote cabin deep in the mountains, on a small lake so small it isn't even named. Eventually I convinced myself that it was a regressive and antisocial impulse. Now I'm here to say: LISTEN TO YOUR HEART, KIDS.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Our taxes are increasing while our services are being gutted. In other words, we're paying more for less. Or for nothing at all. Where are our tax dollars going now, if not to pay for the things our taxes are spent on? We're getting fleeced by con men.

When Teen Vogue is calling you out, you're on the wrong side of history. And I agree with them, billionaires should not exist. Nobody needs, or deserves, or could ethically earn such a disproportionate sum.

Now that mainstream journalism is effectively neutered, we need some other group to step forward and speak truths the billionaires want silenced. Well, Trump laughed as LA burned - so how about it, Hollywood? Stop the reboots and re-start the booting of MAGA. Rich liberals, go fund some films!

Musk didn't just wave his hand. He brought his right hand to his chest then immediately extended his right arm straight with his palm facing downward. Here's a side-by-side comparison for context. This is an intentional multi-step gesture. It is not an accidental movement with a faint resemblance.

I always thought it weird to see television ads for stuff like "milk" and "beef". Not a brand, just the thing. And it worked! Milk and beef everywhere. So... can we advertise ANY concept? How about "science" or "critical thinking"? Sell it like pro sports or botox or whatever. Please?

The Democrats in power who sit on their hands while Trump consolidates power - apparently to "respect institutions" - It's like seeing the zombie horde approaching but refusing to hammer boards over the doors to avoid marring the woodwork.

Corporations are beloved by the greedy because they facilitate amorality. All manner of theft and abuse of living beings is justified, in the service of protecting a lifeless abstract entity. It's convenient for the rich to have an abstraction do all the terrible things that benefit them.

We need to change the tone in our discourse. We don't need more snark, that just fuels the fires. We need "Stern but kindly teacher" tone. Channel that one teacher you had that didn't put up with shit but wasn't a dick about it, and also gently let you know you were being an idiot. Let's be that.

Looking at the horrific fires of LA, saddened. Some of the photos and videos are *terrifying*. And yet, this tragedy seems like a semi-annual event. Seems like the CA gov should be spending more on prevention & response tools? Doesn't matter now, tho. So much pain and destruction.

I haven't seen anyone mention this, so I will: Marketing has derailed human culture. How many of your hopes / dreams / beliefs were injected into your brain by people trying to sell you a product? Common sense has been displaced by slogans. It's deeply embedded & accepted as legitimate thinking.

Back in jr high, my friend was sitting on his waterbed (I'm old), poking at the "mattress" with a ballpoint pen - until he poked a hole in it and water spurted out. His eyes went wide with surprise. I asked, "what did you think would happen?" Aaaand that's how we got to where we are in the USA.
