I remember this from 2020. It'll be over by Easter, right?

In the same genre, Physical 100.

hahaha

this post is doing numbers so i’m locking replies for my own (limited) sanity.

i agree that there are lots of important parallels but the differences are also significant and worth keeping sight of.

it’s not actually how nazi germany worked. the sequence of events there were very different and the economic factors were different in ways that legitimized the nazi regime after it took power, much the opposite of what we’re witnessing with trump.

i don’t think we’re past the point of no return, or that elections won’t happen or that this state of affairs means the american project is over or doomed, but it’s worth saying where we are, or at least seem to be.

can i ask why you post shit like this?

we’ve reached the point where the american system of government seems no longer to exist at the federal level.

the executive no longer abides by our laws and clearly hates our constitution. congress has demonstrated a similar contempt.

the constitution is a dead letter except where convenient.

your beard is so wonderful.

you’re basically a sphere. if you were at my gym i would mentally refer to you as “meatloaf”

good god let me be reborn as a 90s lesbian in a punk/emo band. i want to be musically talented and vent my feelings at lilith fair.

and would it have been worth it after all
after the rice, the chicken, the beef
among the proteins, among some talk of test and hcg
would it have been worthwhile
to have eaten all the salmon with a smile
to say “i am arnold, back from the dead,
come back to show you all, i shall show you all”

To offset the moroseness of “Aubade”, here’s a poem Larkin wrote to a newborn child.

don’t be sorry lol. your way of coping with the inevitability of death is just as good as any other.

(but do you!)

this seems somehow inappropriate as a reaction to a poem this morose.

ok make them watch revenge of the sith after and say “now you know about the jedi”

“they seem really dumb”

“yes. very.”

i don’t agree with the red letter media guys about everything but they were spot on about this. andor kind of destroys the rest of star wars by comparison

i’d show them Andor and then tell them not to bother because the rest is shit in comparison.

living in manhattan this has become extremely clear to me, to the point where i will intentionally get in the way of people driving luxury cars and stare them down while i cross the street.

“hit me, please. go for it.”

today’s emo gym playlist is just the “batter my heart” aria from Doctor Atomic on repeat.

Anyway this is a joke about the american president’s increasingly corpse like appearance.
