No War with Iran. Fuck regime change wars, Fuck Trump, Fuck FIFA, Fuck the Board of Peace, Fuck the mealy mouthed Dem leadership that conceptually support this war, but criticizes the process.

What an embarrassment this Richard Axel story is…but it points to a deeper malignancy in the elite class of science that concerns itself with luxury, egoism, self-aggrandizement and star fuckery…rather than, I don’t know, being public servants.

Dang it! This is what happens when we get too honed in on mice/rats/monkeys. I’m mad at myself that we missed this. Bad oversight on our part. I wonder if you can add a comment to the paper or something pointing this out?

Rest in Power Jesse Jackson 😢💔

Why do we keep losing all the good ones.

I’m ready for some of these evil doers to shuffle off this mortal coil.

The many roles of Marco Rubio YouTube video by CBS Evening News

Here is Tony Dokoupil glazing Marco Rubio on our own version of Pravda…aka Bari Weiss’s and David Ellison’s CBS. We sunk pretty far from the days of Walter Cronkite.

Wow, Bari Weiss’s State TV really found the perfect frontman for their bullshit both-sides narrative.

Overall…a good day for America. One of the best we’ve had in all year. Celebrated with a second viewing of One Battle After Another.

Saddened by Diane Keaton’s passing. She was one of my favorites. Annie Hall is my favorite movie.The ending gets me every time. Baby Boom is a family favorite…and hits as a daughter of single working mother. Plus I can relate to one of best and funny movie freak outs of all time. RIP to a real one.

I can’t get over this dumpster fire UN assembly. Trump humiliates America in front of the world with that grotesque speech, throws a tantrum along with his lapdogs over a stopped escalator and has the President of France wondering the streets of New York because of his stupid motorcade.

This really resonates…I keep trying to understand why they are so
Unshameable in the face of abject hypocrisy and verifiable lies…to my total frustration. But this at least makes it make sense.

R.I.P. the First Amendment, Killed by Cowardice and Greed We will all mourn eventually. Even the long list of those who murdered our foundational freedom.

The assault on the first amendment has been akin to an old murder mystery in which would-be killers line up to deliver blows to the victim-Trump, his aides, the Congress, the courts, corporate media, university trustees, lawyers, ceos...it's a long list. www.thedailybeast.com/rip-the-firs...
