Make Autocracy Great Again

To empty the dishwasher Or not empty the dishwasher That is the question

"Majority of Americans believe whatever Donald and Elon tell them, survey finds" www.ft.com/content/c92c...

In Trump’s first act as chair of the Kennedy Center he’s commissioned a musical version of The Apprentice—a production that promises to be the anti-Hamilton replacing diversity with boardroom hierarchy, equality with cutthroat capitalism, & historical revisionism with a golden throne at center stage

"The FAA will resume using the term Notice to Airmen instead of Notice to Air Missions. Planes may be crashing right and left, but male fragility is being protected even if passengers are not" www.meditationsinanemergency.com/to-use-their...

Wait, is Trump just some automaton that Musk built? And why is Musk obsessed with conspiracies that he claims to have proved but then he never provides any evidence? But god, they couldn't have picked a better bunch of suckers than the Republican party.

PSA: 1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly 2. If you are silly, you must stay silly 2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness

What if Deep Seek is just like that computer in the Three-Body Problem?

They're already trying to rewrite history... www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/u...

Meta and X and the GOP are much bigger national security threats than TilTok.

We're getting better and better at blowing things up.

"Some like to understand what they believe in. Others like to believe in what they understand." -- Stanisław Jerzy Lec, Unkempt Thoughts

A Y2K horror movie... a "Cyber" truck that's less capable than other modern trucks... robber barons taking over the government... backsliding of the rights of women and minorities... What year is this again?? MAGA seems to be successfully turning back the clock in the worst ways imaginable.

Imagine going back in time 10 or 20 or 30 years and telling Republicans that they'd elect a rapist and convict as President.

Only fiction can be complete and true. Non-fiction is always incomplete and flawed.

Andrew Jackson and Worcester v. Georgia (1832) is an interesting story. Why manipulate SCOTUS when you can just ignore it? Who can stop you when you're the one enforcing the law?

I proposed that Netflix have a day where they remove all their normal content and only play The Color of Pomegranates.

Interesting explanation of why many Christians arent acting very Christian lately. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons." — Blazing Saddles

Americans are more willing to abandon liberal democracy than to abandon capitalism.

The one reaction icon desperately needed on LinkedIn: 🤮

Everyone is happy with their parachute until they need it to open.

Tough call

Counterpoint: Maybe the individual right to vote isn't such a great idea after all. The ancient Greeks didn't think so. What's on the ballots has become increasing complex and 90% of people aren't in a position to understand most of it.

I guess we can all rest soundly knowing that the media and police will cover and investigate our own eventual murder so thoroughly.

It dawned on me last night that The Big Lebowski is very film noir / hard-boiled detective / Chandleresque.

"One of my teachers at Columbia was Joseph Brodsky...and he said 'look,' he said, 'you Americans, you are so naïve. You think evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots. It doesn’t come like that. Look at the language. It begins in the language.'"

They just need to wait a few weeks for discrimination and excessive force to become DOJ policy.

Apparently Democrats want to prove that they're just as stupid and foolish as Republicans.
