it's like an activation phrase to remind me of a bit from "Zero Effect"
part of the screenplay from the movie Zero Effect (1998): ZERO: Tell me this- How do you rhyme 'towards' and 'birds'? "Dropping, falling diving towards Two lovers lost. Plummeting birds"? They don't rhyme. ARLO: Maybe it's not supposed to rhyme. ZERO: Also how do you write a poem about Clarissa and never have the name in the poem? If ever a name deserved, begged to be in a poem, it's Clarissa.

And yet DOOM wants to roll the dice on you. DOOM thinks you will learn to love rage again, to experience its visceral pleasure. DOOM wants you to unlearn all those lessons in civility, in comportment, in tone, in the “benefit of the doubt.” DOOM wants you to consider that when “they go low,” you will scrape the pits of Inferno to go ever lower. DOOM wants you to feel more. But — and perhaps this is sheer, irrational hope on my part, a shard of redemption in a game of bleak glee — DOOM wants you to remember that it is all so stupid. That all of this is instrumental, that the only way out is through, but that this is brutalizing to the world and to yourself. In my most hopeful moment, I think DOOM has old Spinoza on the mind: learn to feel joy in the world again and yes, learn to feel joy in the pain of enemies but remember that it is just — in a measure of mere magnitude — a lesser joy than in the flourishing of friends.

by agreeing to fast-track confirmation of several of Trump's far-right psycho cabinet picks the senate democrats can get a free day off. they've worked hard doing nothing of value for nearly 2 whole weeks so they deserve yet another break
Senators reach deal to advance Cabinet nominees, avoid weekend session From CNN's Ted Barrett and Morgan Rimmer Bipartisan senators reached an agreement to cast three votes Thursday at 6:15 p.m. The first will be to confirm Doug Burgum as Interior secretary. The second will be to break a filibuster of Christopher Wright to be Energy secretary. The third will be to break a filibuster of Doug Collins to be Veterans Affairs secretary. By the agreement, confirmation on Wright and Collins will happen sometime Monday. This means the Senate won’t be in Friday or over the weekend, which was possibly going to happen.

CEO Brian Thompson (probably) never shot anyone to death, but is responsible for more deaths, permanent disabilities, & theft than entire prison populations combined just to get rich/make other parasites even richer. His murders were just less public spectacle than his own, his victims less visible.
Mark Twain quote from "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court": "There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves. "
