I hate having emotions about reality.

I’d much rather have them about Sanctuary Moon.

Yesterday, at high tea, my 18 month old child turned to me and said, “Demonization of out-groups has been page one of the authoritarian playbook since the beginning of recorded history.”

That little point from the guy in the blue shirt leads me to believe that the one yelling is getting fired. The tone of the yelling guy’s voice leads me to believe he’s fine with that.

Then again, I’m pretty sure all Ford plants are union so perhaps only one of these things is true.

Do the kids on campus know about Phil Ochs? I feel like some of them would be into it, no reason in particular.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Why do we even have a 2nd amendment if the 2nd amendment guys aren’t gonna go all 2nd amendment on tyranny when tyrants tyranize?

Mozart would have been an insufferable troll with an occasional scathing banger.
Do you have a historical figure you most wish got to be a poster? I feel like you must have a better answer than mine, which is Churchill. The guy started autobiography when he was 19 I think. And just never stopped. True poster.

IPAs are fine, you just burnt out on them because every fly-by-night brewery started by some finance bro having a midlife crisis launches with an over-hopped mess designed to cover the fact that the founder can’t manage fermentation and refuses to hire someone who can.

My grandma, a mostly Italian American woman, is super into pre-revolution Chinese culture, stemming from her background in shaolin kung fu. She started in her 50s and eventually attained a black sash, I don’t have time to get into it.

I made her some Damascus chopsticks for Christmas…

Seems weird that I’ve never seen a documentary or video essay about the origin of standup comedy. Until I think about it for another 28 seconds and realize it’s literally just handing a microphone to the funny guy at the bar because the band didn’t show up.

I made a muddle. To muddle through.

It’s cherry wood. Finished with a mineral oil/beeswax blend. Lovely natural chatoyance that the video doesn’t capture.
