before and after. hoping that increasing the size of my phone's letter keys, by enlarging the keyboard and removing its number keys and options toolbar, will end my "fat fingering" woes

many people are saying there's no Dark Age like a post-Modern Dark Age. it's true. Enlightenment? we're done with those guys. I hear In-ky…Void…Abyssal—a beautiful word. they're telling me it's darker than anything they've seen. we can go darker, can't we folks? I could just keep going. all the way
my "joke" was always that Palestine should be supplied with cash & arms by the UN/JDPON, to ensure the safety of a region that's precious to adherents of three religions, while Jewish people should be given Switzerland. Reparations for 1000+ years of European antisemitism

you gotta follow it up with "New Age Girl" by Deadeye Dick and the Butthole Surfers' "Hurdy Gurdy Man". then, you might as well put on 'Dumb and Dumber' at that point
You should really be expecting that the next 20-30 years will look like 18th century great-power politics with 21st century climate changes.

this reminds me of myself, it's vaguely similar to something i did once. in fact all your tweets are about me
my only contribution to certain discourse at this moment is that if you want to experience “the frisson of transgression” you should have to go to the goth club and scavenge for a pervert situationship like the rest of us instead of sublimating it into oppressive politics
the Magic: the Gathering card 'Soul Burn'. the art is of a weathered corpse on the ground in a frozen desert landscape. for 2 generic mana and 1 black mana: Soul Burn deals 1 damage to a single target for each black or red mana you pay in addition to its cost. you gain 1 life for each black mana you spend in this way. you cannot gain more life than the toughness/life of the targeted creature/player.
due a friend's generous gift, I had Magic cards before I knew how to play, so I treated them like baseball cards and judged them for their art/flavor text. anyways, I always loved Soul Burn. it is another good depiction of a "drain" effect

news of this study has been wildly overshadowed by war for control of an oil-rich area of the planet which has set a ton of that oil on fire
if so, are we still attributing these post-2019 trends wholly or in large part either to "covid brain" or pandemic trauma or "lockdown psychosis", or somesuch?
are we also guessing that people with, ahem, diminished capacities for judgment (etc) are all in on "AI"?
from brain fog to slop rot?
are people still experiencing an increased level of public interpersonal rudeness from strangers and witnessing mystifying and sometimes egregiously dangerous/illegal driving behavior out on the streets?

I am still of the opinion that neoliberalism's death is greatly exaggerated, but I'm not infinitely obstinate.
in my mind there are two Rubicons: the president or congress formally changing the composition of the Supreme Court, and the military using nuclear weapons.

I *really* don't want to be a downer but to me the precursor to Doing is Saying, and not nearly enough of this Party is saying what needs to be said. About punishing the villains, about abolishing billionaires, about ending elite impunity. Too many want to leave the rot but change the branding

Everybody deserves to have democracy at work, just as we deserve to have it in the political system.
It might not solve every problem, but we deserve to be able to openly discuss management's plans and vote on our bosses' random ideas.
So you hate crab cakes?

It's all there. All of the bullshit claims about emergencies and national security threats. The goal all along was to give Trump the power to deploy the military domestically to suppress dissent and crush MAGA's enemies.
These are dangerous people. They're now in the highest levels of government.

the cruelties of the world & Yahweh/Jesus and the immorality of his flock didn't play a role. the brief time I spent in the antechamber of agnosticism was merely my failing to cope with what I suspected was true: there is no protection from suffering, there is no moral justice, there is no afterlife
