a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

"Every fire thinks it’s a part of God, but lightning is not a promise, a flag is not a shield. Love wants you to believe that there’s a God somewhere who can do your dying for you. There are raptures that won’t come for you and raptures that will." Traci Brimhall, "Lullaby on Mount Moriah"

All the administration can come up with is hours spent churning out AI slop that projects their inadequacies through fascist aesthetics; meanwhile one brave protestor produces a more meaningful and patriotic image in a passing moment.

Standing and waiting like a pet poodle for a murderous foreign dictator who kills America’s friends and allies, trying to suck up to him by rolling out a show of the armed forces that mostly exist to fight that very dictator.
