We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Why do we continue to allow our leaders to act without recourse? This is ludicrous.

Something that never occurs to Queer Eye is that people are working too much to have a full life. Like fix that, queens. Sigh.

And so it continues...

Three texts to understand our world:

Confidence Man by Herman Melville
The Life You Save May Be Your Own by Flannery O’Connor

Boot licker isn’t even a strong enough term they’re like boot deep throaters

Chief Strategist for Rand Paul.

MAGA brains breaking everywhere trying to decide if the Second Amendment means more to them than ICE and Border Patrol.

The Policy Director for the President of the United States said that the VA nurse was murdered because he was an “assassin.”

And not one Republican in Congress will say a god damn word about because they are spineless cowards.

I'm sorry, but Marshmallow is the worst movie I've watched in a year. Absolutely awful. 0/10. I as a rule loathe horror movies/series that decide that they cannot kill kids that are objectively dumb. (See Karl in the Walking Dead.) But this takes the cake. Barf.

My God the Bills are making Nix look like an actual NFL starter. At least the Patriots/Texans will boat race them next week.

Denver is trash. The Bills are getting hosed.

Bills have gotten absolutely hosed in OT here

Bills fans, you got screwed.

You know, there's a world where all year round could be joyful and filled with gatherings and good food like the holidays. We just choose not to have that to instead enrich billionaires further. Yay, modern life.

Sharing this again bc that’s what we do! This is kind of a Sci Fi / Dark Fantasy mix that celebrates where lots of religions/mythologies intersect in a creepy way

Reminder that the Trump regime has still only released 1% of the Epstein files in total contravention of the law. Arrests need to be made over this.

Ben Collins reposted Andrew Lawrence @ndrew_lawrence a few years ago social media said they cant ban white supremacists bc it would mean banning GOP politicians and I think that's a pretty good microcosm of how the media in general has handled the mainstreaming of race hatred that has led to numerous mass shootings 5:07 AM 28 Aug 23

Tonight thinking about this all-time @ndrew.bsky.social banger

I’d add, MOST OF THE ICE AGENTS PRESENT clearly didn’t believe it. Nobody but the murderer pulls a gun or otherwise reacts like some murderous terror attack is underway.

EXCOMMUNICATE HIS ASS

JD Vance is as evil as it gets.

Pure evil.

He is using the language and lies murderous dictators have used throughout history to justify their actions.

I really need the Olympics to not be in LA.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”

So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night.
