The fascists are in charge and are sending the military to do regime change in California but a new season of Resident Alien just dropped so it’s not all bad.

At this point, any member of Congress that isn’t doing things that cause Johnson or Thune threaten them with censure isn’t doing their job.

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

This is right out of the dystopian scifi we've long had. It was predicted by experts, art, activists, anyone who gave a damn. It was predictable because it was already present in existing forms of surveillance and control going all the way back (and beyond) to things like the Fugitive Slave Act.

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

I haven’t watched the Sunday news shows in over two decades but decided to see what This Week was up to. lol, their powerhouse roundtable consists of Chris Christie, Reince Priebus and Donna Brazile. Anyhoo, it reconfirmed that I don’t learn anything meaningful by watching.

Something’s up with my sourdough starter. Not necessarily bad, but my ferment and proof times have decreased dramatically, and it can’t be explained by environmental change. I started mixing at 7am this morning and the boule was out of the oven by 2:30 pm.
