I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue. www.the-reframe.com/the/

1000 probationary Department of Veterans Affairs employees fired. OIT, Procurement, and Veterans Benefits Administration. They are lying and saying it won’t affect support for veterans. news.va.gov/press-room/v...

I learned about Project 2025 from the Democrats. How did they not formulate a plan against it?

. A Black spy saved George Washington’s life, helped win the Revolutionary War, and still had to buy his freedom. If America really loved Black history, James Armistead Lafayette would have his own blockbuster spy movie by now. Instead, we get another reboot of Batman. #BlackHISTORY

this is the "merit" two-step. first, you strongly imply or state outright that the presence of anyone who isn't a straight, able-bodied white man is unfair "DEI," then you argue that just because an institution is all-male and lily-white doesn't mean there is discrimination. that's just merit!

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

We are living through Republicanism boiled down to its essence: Everyone should be deprived of everything, because otherwise, somebody I don't like might get something I don't want them to have. We call it an ideology, but it's really a personality: Greedy, withholding, suspicious, angry, cruel.

Radical acceptance/delusion maybe but watching humans take care of each other through this gives me a lot of hope for the future. Even in the microcosm/my personal experience: the past 48 hours, literally all of my friends and loved ones have checked on me. Institutions may fail us, but we won’t.

Is this only happening to me? Or has anyone else noticed an increase in "Christian" content? Facebook, Threads, Google, TicTok... I find Christianity pushed in my face more and more. I don't like it.

Google has made an egregious mistake and I don't know what to do about it. This white man did sing and compose, but not with or for The Temptations. Or am I completely wrong?
