Ice America or MAGA America will have the same ring as Nazi Germany sooner or later.
Fuck.
I hate watching all of this.
They killed a nurse at a peaceful protest.
They arrest babies.
They arrest grandparents.
Arrest is probably the wrong word.
They disappear people.
Fuck.

I tumbled leaving a smoking room at the Incheon airport today after my flight back from Fukuoka. Completely missed the step down. Mildly embarrassing. At least I didn’t injure my body. Just my pride. I had so much pride in my sense of balance. Turns out I wasn’t balanced at all.

In getting what I want news, I’ve wanted the US government to take stakes in our corporations for a long time like Trump is doing with Intel as it’s a great way to fund public services. But this is a monkey paw situation and none of that profit will go towards useful programs. Just war and fascism.

The stuff going on in America stinks of fascism. Military being used as police, firing intelligence for doing intelligence, stopping aid, halting medical and scientific grants, and naughty and nice lists of our corporate players.

I started reading the comic series, “Something Is Killing the Children”. I get the hype. The first three issues are so good. Love the art and the grit.

I finished Head Over Heels. It’s a solid drama. A bit cheesy, but that’s part of the romantic genre. I think it would have been better without the time skip at the end or a few more episodes to wrap things up. Probably a 7 out of 10.

So I’ve been watching the K-Drama, Head Over Heels, about a high school shaman and her first love. The first love is of course cursed to die. So, she has to go out of her way to ward off evil spirits. Good stuff. Cheesy, fun, and cute. I guess it’s romantancy. A genre I won’t read, but would like.

So Washington DC is under marshal law or whatever taking over the police force is called? I don’t understand why. How does that guy keep getting away with it?

Watching America from the outside is so stressful. I bet it’s even more stressful from the inside. What series of incredibly unfortunate events got us to this point? So much of the message seems to be tear everyone apart—no unity, no hope, etc. and for what? Some tax cuts for the filthy rich? Meh.

Edge of Eternities draft is my worst performance in a set ever, but I keep coming back to it because I love draft. When does vintage cube come back?

Body shower wipes are a game changer. Thick beach towel sized wet wipes. Much better than fabreezing myself after arriving to work and changing out of cycling gear and into work clothes.

Went to bed. Woke up 5 hours later. I need to increase the duration. Is it too late? Going back to sleep doesn’t count, right? Once interrupted, it’s back to square one.
