I honestly think it's more harmful 2 have some Dems whining so late in the game, I agree he should have stepped aside but it's 2 small a window now, & it shows so much dysfunction to have the party start infighting. Republicans are great at just sucking it up & blindly stepping inline when needed

During every flight I like to think that by envisioning it land safely, we help to nudge fate just a little bit. As if our collective will shape the outcome, and what a magic it would be to learn that humanity is only as colorful as the dreams which define them.

Why does the idea of such complete solitude like an entirely deserted planet full me with warmth and deep calm?

But listen to the quiet part: they're acknowledging that the lying has become too bothersome to address, however they're okay profiting off the mess, and redefining their roles to just worthless observers. Yay us.

Dems need to just suck it up, and do what Republicans do: commit to a fanatical level. It's embarrassing how easy it is for them to turn on their own, warranted or not

2. I held my breath and allowed the storm to approach, soft-footed, with a purr caught in its throat. But before I could reach to touch her static, she left, leaving the air heavy in tropics and sweat .

1. Cicadas don't know of any other life, so they may dream of staying awake above ground, but they live as they do because there is no other way. I am not talking about cicadas.

1. I've died many times but have never paused to reflect. Instead, through ego, I tell myself I am only sleeping. And each morning I strip the clothes off my cold body to wear for the day, unable to smell the stench of decay.

The AI bot learns from human input, and the inverse we're seeing of ppl beginning to actively stop interacting and letting this soulless echo of human speech take over... quietly kills me

22. A step outside previews spring by the splash of pink which streaks across the grey & sends a shiver of memory that promises the kind of joy unspoken, before it came in plastic with free shipping, and I felt an ache at the absurdity, worried if I had enough credit to pay for this feeling.

It's one of those situations where, statistically it could be super super low but the public reactions to it can be high (i.e., taking a plane is safer than driving but ppl may not *feel* that way due to crashes that have happened etc)

21. I lost myself among friends, watched the plate of food get passed around, listened to collective memories weave stories richer than I'd ever recall on my own & I couldn't separate myself from them, we were enjoying ourselves with ourselves. Not lost, but returned.

There's a clear hypocrisy between us supporting Israel, and also us blundering to stem the damage from their hamfisted attack (utterly predictable by the way if one looks back in history), so one can understand why a diy port feels... underwhelming this late in the game

20. Sat down to drink a cappuccino I didn't order, walked along the rails of the High line, & admired the rich behind their windows. Traveled faster on foot, ate salmon, and shopped at Burlington where I aged four years while waiting to pay. Three pants. One shirt. A New York kind of day.

I hate how imagining my consciousness is exploiting my physical and mental labor for its own intellectual wealth and probably some sadistic pleasure does, in fact, make it better.

19. Memories from lucid dreams have a clarity sharper than reality. Maybe they are. What greater existence is there than the one within the black hole of your brain? Perhaps the only real truth lies in which dreams you remember most, the ones awake or the ones asleep...

If you can destroy the illusion that capitalism always existed, is the only way things can exist, and will exist forever because "that's just how it is" then we can shift and finally upgrade to a better version of society

The way the needle has moved since then is so crazy, but -- politics aside -- also speaks to the way our brains can't help adjust and adapt (thank you nature!)

There's a great scene when he's watching over the banquet hall or something and he's thinking about how he'd kill everyone using gas, logistics etc., that blending of gilded horror, how close the two are, definitely stood out

The key part for me is that it was in service to maintain connections and access. This is why, when we don't consistently punish or deliver consequences, people who power know no matter what they do people will kiss their ring to be let back in...

Isnt this kind of just a social media thing? reminds me how they found that if you make a post with deliberately wrong info, it'll get more traction than a post with correct info, bc people will jump at the chance to correct you

I will add, I'm all for continued jabs and pressure towards Israel, even if some carry less weight than others, if I'm wrong about this and it ends up being the start of a big wave of change, I'll be happy to be wrong

18. Always choose positivity when you want to say 🤬 to the world. The kind that manifests for no other reason than "because." It is quiet and unpredictable. It is nearly nihilistic in its reasonless nature.

“It should be done in an honest way that keeps the service affordable for riders,” 🤢 if your business can't survive by paying workers a livable fair wage...it's not a good business. Also, pitting customers against the workers is terrible. "If you want it cheap, they need to be paid cheap!"

For me, there's a special grossness to how she's really devoting energy to doubling down, you can just tell how the criticisms are fueling her in the worst way, instead using it to become a kinder, empathetic person, it's used to become more stubborn and thin skinned

17. I woke up this morning knowing I didn't want to wake up. In those moments I wonder how many times do I do this to myself? And how often do I ignore me? But I can't do what I want to do, because I have to do things I don't want to do.

I find the contrast between the hysteria of the emails, and the relatively tepid concern (because we've been here before and we're tired) of national security with Trump (2nd round) funny. I have to laugh or I'll cry
