non sequitur's we're all just fine

sounds like he's just stepping down as leader but not retiring??? or did i read that wrong?

this popped up today in the feed.

BAN EVERYTHING!

it was due for a repost. whatever they are.. i hope they bring some secret knowledge of how to unfuck the planet the next time they show up. perhaps they're waiting for the finale of the Earth series and all have doom boners for scenes of the apocalypse "what will the Homo Sapiens get up to when the whole planet is on fire? oof.. gonna be a good show!"

never watched this show.. i guess i should. this scene is apparently 8 minutes in total but only 4 minutes is on youtube that i could find

low hanging fruit but still "you're too tired"

coconut lime kombucha, kava tea combined with chinese black tea... after coffee toast and eggs. many beverages seem to be happening. except it's in a glass bottle

i get what you're saying no doubt that's part of it and always is.. people hitching their wagon to things for reasons other than what seems most prescient.. i do think in a few ways this is different. the internet of things. that side of it is laying it out pretty clearly for a generation that hasn't experienced this before. it's new to them. as much as they're tuned in to historical injustices and the scope of horrors that predate their existence.. this is one thing they haven't lived through in real time. they haven't experienced the facts in the light of day type of a situation absolutely married to the indifference of global powers and business as usual daily life.. not to mention the perceived hypocrisy of so many people/institutions. i do think some older people are having that moment too.. "oh, this is who we are and who we've always been so of course this is how it will go.. because it's supposed to go this way. this isn't new." [are we the baddies?] and i think a lot of that is via the internet as well. some people getting a big wake up after having their heads deeply into normal media channels of the big 3 or 4 news agencies/TV networks etc. so, i'm guessing for a lot of younger people it's going to be traumatic and a sort of end of innocence about where the world comes down on things like genocide when it seems so obvious to them. but it's hard to say.. so many young people have been onto doomer dark meme feeds for ages now.. also, there's a pretty solid core wave of people who line up on the side of atrocities and see every single complex issue as binary and the answer to these inconvenient troubles to be "just get rid of them all". they stick to the easily debunked narratives of "well, they voted for hamas so it's what they get" or whatever absolutely lazy fucking don't give a shit thing keeps the trajectory of the 'normal' on lock so they can focus on being american and getting butthurt whenever anyone says anything bad about the thing/person/place they hold so dear for whatever reasons... but i hear ya.. it's always been this way.. anyone who's followed US foreign policy even a little and maybe read history book outside the normie circles has some idea of how it all goes and what messages we're told and all that deep shit filled trench of propaganda piped into people's homes. and before all that humans did the things endlessly. power is typically wielded by psychopaths. it is depressing though. edit: and endlessly frustrating. just typing out the thoughts.. ugh. edit edit: https://taskandpurpose.com/news/man-sets-self-fire-israeli-embassy-air-force/

will Ai scrub everything from the internet some day? i'm sure it'll be fine. cleansing fire or something will sort it out. jebus will come down and go Hulk on the baddies. Marvel 2025 line up gonna be sick! https://www.newsweek.com/marvel-israeli-superhero-disney-sabra-captain-america-shira-haas-1839083 oof. everything is enshitified long before it is enshitified.

sounds more ebm indsutrial lite goth new wave in a lot of the riffs

trump is obviously exactly like jesus, but smarter. he wouldn't have been crucified. he's too smart and charismatic for that to happen to him. people are saying that.

er.. is this in here somewhere? might be old news idk.. just crossed paths and .. well.. it's about 3 hours long.

so, i was unaware that his chapters/series called "How to enjoy the end of the world" were parts of his talk linked below. "all of this was happening even without climate change" - sheesh. "dark humor is like food. not everybody gets it." his green party pitch towards the end is tiresome. once he gets into the wealth equality section he starts to go off the rails some. not that he's wrong about that but he starts rolling in some other shit that is kinda lazy conspiratorial thinking to some degree or just that same old narrative that leads him to his green party pitch which all just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. the Q/A part after the talk has some interesting bits though. edit: i think i posted this one in here already but adding it here because i listened to it again and so should you.. or not. whatever.

If not, Letitia James can start seizing his properties.

some real life lols in this if you pay attention. these guys w/the cornflakes.. broken light bulbs.. and on and on..

america certainly would. but there's a thick wall of stupidity and toxic masculine FREEDOM culture in the way. a lot of people generally don't understand how things work at the basic level and hear 'raise taxes' and think it's about them. and there's this saying: “John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.”

this made it to a couple mainstream news sources when it was released then faded quickly. maybe it will pop up again. the findings are concerning. i probably don't understand all the details. next week i see my cardiologist. i plan to bring it up and see what he says.
