Happy b’day, β€œAmerican Idiot” β€” released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War.

β€œThe country had gone into a war based on lies,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, β€œand no one seemed to care. .. It was a song that came from a very honest, pissed-off place.”

I enjoyed chatting with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show."

My thoughts on how we save our democracy are the same today as when we last spoke on "The Colbert Report" in 2010.

We must get big money out of politics.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Recession 1 from tech bubble (a.i. fetishing)
Plus
Recession 2 from fotus idiodic tariff fetish
Plus
Recession 3 from mass gvt layoffs & spending cuts
Plus
Recession 4 from corp price hikes post pandemic etc.

... is that right? Am i close to understanding thus?

Public media has been defunded. Your support keeps journalists on the ground, lifts unheard voices, and connects communities.

Levels of understanding:

I understand the words
I understand the local context
I understand the community
I understand the greater context
I understand the immediate consequences
I understand long term consequences
I understand the implications
I understand how it all connects

Most Rs get 1/4 down

Freefall Impact

You  don’t pay me to do it
You beg me all through it
To sit with you
While the sky is blue

We watch world fall
Into a freefall
Waiting for impact
We tense and sit back

Your lips your hands your eyes
Are with me in demise
We slip up through the sky
And watch them kill and die
The wield sound and falls
Into a failed state of walls
And while we all turn to stone
I know I’ll never be alone
