theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Trump only wanted to "drain the swamp" so he could have the swamp all to himself. 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 10/11/2025evergreen post of the day: wealthy powerful technocrats don't tend to be culture loving humanitarians. unfortunately, for all of us. 000
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 10/09/2025The reason AI will overrun us is 'cause all humans begin life at same basic level of development & progress from there. some people develop to their leading edge; most stop far short. AI tho, will be able to CONTINUALLY learn, grow, & develop w/o the need for continual generational restart/reset. 000
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 05/09/2025ok so does like anyone remember that time the US navy annihilated a speed boat in international waters that was carrying 11 people and supposedly some drugs? Where is that story?? does anyone think it's a hoaxy bit of theatre perpetrated on a mockup? an ACTUAL hoax perhaps? ... anyone?? 000

theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 30/05/2025modern Republican party's legacy is one of cynicism and callousness about their own constituency's heath & wellbeing. Unavoidable fact is this: if one does not wish to care well for ALL of one's constituents, then one will not be able to care well for any of them. Respect for others = self respect. 000

theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 21/04/2025the last person the Pope saw the day before he died was JDVance who, invisibly to those present, opened up his bottomless void of darkness and sucked what amount of life-force the Pontiff still possessed out of his body, thus dealing him a blow from which he could not recover. just suggesting... 020
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 20/04/2025soooo i guess this was Ross Douthat's last piece for the NY Times. unless he will be transmitting more of his thoughtful opionions via sat phone from deep in his wilderness mountain bunker. We wish you luck Ross! 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 16/04/2025only the most hopelessly insecure & falsely proud among us is unwilling to ever admit when an error has been made. Such individuals are doomed to fail in their relationships, be they friendly, familial, matrimonial, professional or political. on this basis alone Trump & co are doomed to fail. 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 13/04/2025this is Donald Trump if he was reverse-engineered according to his phycial exam results: 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 09/04/2025was feeling left out so decided that i will be putting tariffs on everything now -- E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. -- it's just how things are going to be from now on so get used to it. 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 09/04/2025is Trump the reincarnation of Mad King George come back to haunt us? 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 05/04/2025apropos nothing (yes!) I just watch Jim Jarmusch's 'Paterson' for the fourth time. The 1st time I really enjoyed it a lot. the 2nd time, when it ended i heard myself utter the word "masterpiece". after my 4th viewing that conviction holds. it's the masterpiece of a master auteur. bravo Jim. 000

theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 02/04/2025the problem with the Democratic party (in broadest stroke) is that they regard the Republican party as their equal counterpart -- when they SHOULD just relentlessly batter every damn unworthy thing about the R's, what they represent, their goals, character, history, etc. = EVERYTHING about them. 020
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 30/03/2025the Time magazine American Face of the Year is the insecure yet self-satisfied smirk. 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 27/03/2025one thing to note in this attack plan debacle is that Trump seems INCAPABLE of resolving a simple foulup. He easily could have put this whole thing to bed within 24 hrs. "yes they f'ed up, yes corrections will be made." end of story. but he can't do it. instead he's keeping it going! interesting!! 🤔 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 26/03/2025re: hearings about PBS/NPR. since f'ing Nixon this has been goind on. R's are simply hellbent on proving over and over and over again exactly why we can't have the nice things other developed countries have. it's so damn sad. If Jesus was alive today he would never stop crying... 010

[Assistant whispers in his ear] "What do you mean I can't shoot him?" [Assistant whispers in his ear] "Why the hell can't I?" "You mean I can't shoot whoever I want to?" 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 24/03/2025re 'JG's article in the Atlantic mag about being included in a Defense Dept. text thread about taking a wack at the Houthis, I would like to note that the space between the 'S' and the 'M' in Stepher Miller's initials is a nod to decorum on his part. Typically his text initials are 'S&M' . 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 21/03/2025deeply reassuring words from nameless 'analysts' quoted by the NYTimes today: "Analysts say it is unlikely that a plan to detain U.S. citizens overseas would hold up in court." Well I for one am SO relieved to hear it! Yay!! 😬 It's all just gonna be 'grimacing face' emoji from now on... 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 20/03/2025oh an by the way, in case you haven't been paying sufficient attention, they are going to destroy the republic. 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 20/03/2025i'm still gobsmacked at just what an absolutely arch beaurocrat Vought is and how filled, therefore, with unmitigated self-hatred for his own existence he must feel in order to have made it his life's mission to destroy everyone else who is just like him. utter madness. 110
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 18/03/2025great. so where are all those "we the people" people who are so emphatic about preserving and protecting the Constitution?? 010
theLt.MaramowEffect @trynbniceok.bsky.social · 18/03/2025I bet they were pretty flush until things went down the drain. 010
