Muting Elon here. I literally never went to know what he has to say or think. Someone will call him fElon when he finally gets arrested and I’ll know to take it off them.

WOLFEN is a wonky movie, but it has these shots of the Bronx when they were demolishing what seems like half the borough. Just wild stuff.

Probably hairsplits on guards versus officials versus staff and things like that. I could see there being armed staff that don’t counts as “guards” for stats.

Project 2025 is almost comically evil and I still going to see 40% of these dumb fuckers vote for it. It’s horrible on face, and nobody cares. I can’t even get the media to care about because Biden said “Daddio” in 2017 and they lead with that.

I feel like a great number of issues could be solved by people like JK Rowling minding their own fucking business.

Are you getting killed by Criterion Channel too? Everything they do is amazing right now. Best programming on the planet.

Criterion Channel is so good I am almost mad about it. I can’t watch all these in any reasonable timeframe! The 80s/90s Godzilla revival? A Les Blank minifestival? Extras on the screwball comedies? I mean, goddamn, there’s only so much time in the day!

I’ve muted the word poll on platforms since 2015 and it’s the smartest thing I have ever done. There’s nothing to gain and my mental health to lose.

I wonder if that SCOTUS decision would have gone another way if the J6 Insurrectionists were bringing zipties into chambers and taking shits on the Chief Justice’s desk?

🛑 Stop reading and watching and listening to infuriating shit. It’s not good for you, it’s not good for me when you bring it to me to also watch and hear and read. Someone wants you to be mad and miserable. Don’t give them the pleasure. 🛑

I think we’ll manage! Folks will know what they’re missing and will fight for it when it’s not there. That’s an actual leg up on the crowd that won all these things in the first place. HashtagLetsGo, etc

Sucks. Not sure why folks are surprised Alito didn’t opt to save us or whatever. Anyway, you still have to vote, because not voting is a vote. Each vote for the bag of bones is like two votes against the not-even-quiet-about-it fascist. Because not voting at all means you didn’t try to stop it.

Pretty sure that the main reason Joe Biden will be the nominee is because the rich old white people that control virtually everything won’t be very open to the opinion that “a powerful old white person can get too old to be in power anymore.”

I think, very much, they are just going to get ignored. And that is going to be just fine for people like me (rich, in California) and going to be a fucking disaster for others (everyone else).

Value your mental health. I didn’t watch the debate. What was I going to learn? That Biden is old? That Trump is fascism inchoate? I know these things. It doesn’t change anything. It would just make me feel worse that this is what our system produces. We watched gymnastics, it was wonderful.
