If you’re in the tourism industry, good luck to you.

Exception: If you’re in the tourism industry and you voted for Trump, go f*** yourself.

Marketing destroys the meaning of language.

I’ve often thought the term Virtual Intelligence or VI (from the Mass Effect series) is a much better description of what we’ve got now.

Radical constitutional and judicial reform is really the only way out of this. And we should be prepared, that even if there is a future Congress and POTUS willing to undertake this project, it will be met with a red-faced, vein-bulging wave of rage from the reactionary right.

It’s going to be years, if ever, before that fraction of the electorate that put them over the top, the ones who were just angry about inflation, realize the depth of the mistake they have made.

It could not be any more clear

Keep this in your pocket the next time, some man on the street says, “didn’t I read an article they had a new drug that would cure this years ago? They suppressed it!”

No, you just don’t know how bodies work.

This will get people killed.

It’s truly amazing how many of this administration’s actions are basically the equivalent of a wailing child screaming, “Make it like it was before!”

This is the juvenile, imbecilic id of reactionary politics.

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

* (not the recent GDT version, we’re talking the actual novel here.)

Wasn’t I just talking the other day about how the creature goes bad* because Frankenstein is a bad dad?

Ah yes, the time-honored principle where law enforcement gets to decide on their own which judicial orders are lawful and which are not, because Reasons.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

This is what happens when you put vicious, foolish, insecure men in charge of the military.

The fundamental sin of Frankenstein in this version is not so much playing God, but that he’s a bad dad. He has no empathy, and he shows little responsibility, towards the being he created. Which honestly, in this era where we play God all the time, is maybe a more relevant message?

Today I am thankful for the people who are standing up, the ones who refuse to be silent, the ones who remember that empathy is a strength and a virtue, not a sin.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.
