24x7x365.25. Shut the fuck up.

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

there's so much news. there's too much news. there's too much to read. but i hope i can convince you to read this, and share it with people whom you think would appreciate it. here's this week's WEEK IN THE REARVIEW, collecting all of the stories i've published since monday.

after hearing from several of you last night, i think i have a general structure for this. it's subject to change based on feedback, but if you're a current, fired, or currently-being-litigated federal worker, i want to hear from you. here are the details.

The Black middle class was built on government jobs - federal, state, and municipal. It’s not just about funding tax cuts.

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

THE HOBBIT (1977): DOPESMOKER EDITION A fan edit by me that pairs the beloved Rankin/Bass animated Hobbit movie with the legendary sounds of Sleep's collosal single track album DOPESMOKER. Get it here: drive.google.com/file/d/16tci...

one of the consistent things you pick up on from all of these people is that they are just catastrophically unprepared for what a real blowback will look like

This current moment right now feels suspiciously like someone whose only concern is staying out of prison and is literally letting everyone else around him do whatever they want, all this chaos from people seizing the chance to fill the power vacuum seems to naturally follow

It really is that simple
