Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

🚨 Heartbreaking. Detainees at Delaney Hall are being forced to eat worm-infested food, denied doctors, and separated from their families. Even US citizens are trapped inside. This must end. No more torture centers on American soil. #ShutDownDelaneyHall

So…. the plan of the tech bros is to bring about the collapse of society, hide in an underground bunker for 10 years, then emerge and be embraced by the desperate survivors as a god-king? Yeah, I’ve heard that plan before. The guy who originally came up with it called it “Helter Skelter”…..

Interesting to see this 1947 test screen with Marlon Brando for the film "Rebel Without a Cause." Brando, of course, would later epitomize mid-century American masculinity. He was 23-years-old here.

Everyone thinks Misty Copeland at the end of the “Sinners” number was a Chalamet diss. I don’t think so. As I watched, I found myself thinking “the musician who encapsulates all of this, who could actually pierce the veil, was Prince. He should be here.” And suddenly one of his muses appears….
