Research impact? How about the impact this routine had on my pecs
the president is doing Being There remixed Vic Berger glitch style. reality is coming at you in saccades and waves all chopped and screwed. you should probably not drive or operate heavy machinery while aware of current events

Farces all the way down

Attacks leave dead vs killed
Oh just give me a break
I know I said it before but is having your authoritarians at least not be insultingly dumb so much to ask for
Trump tells oil CEOs: Arising each morning the true Samurai must visualize himself being torn apart by dogs, pierced by flaming arrows, cleaved in twain by a Εdachi. the path of BushidΕ can be trod only by those who consider themselves already dead and thus free
Starmer's government following the tactic tested out successfully by the Conservative party apparently - making itself abhorrent to voters through increasingly idiotic decisions nobody wants
