Seems a good time to post this again…

Let’s play Spot the Difference:

From WBEZ Chicago, the Obama Presidential Center opening day crowd. I’ll just leave this here…for science.

PS: have you read Sarah Kendzior? If not, you absolutely MUST. He’s been in the thick of Russia’s business since the early 80s. It ALL ties together too perfectly to ignore…

They sure did. And do you know what? They’d do it again.

I’m sick to death of people instantly calling “AI! AI!” on basically everything any more. Same energy as all the instant science and medical experts who’ve “done their research”. Since the dawn of the internet, suddenly veryone’s an expert. On this topic…

Read the first when it was published in 2017; still need to read the second, published in 2024. We were MORE than adequately warned well beyond these two books & after having seen with our own eyes for a decade. There is NO excuse, but we were called hysterical and partisan. How do you like us now?

Meanwhile? Democrats…

That whole album just walks so beautifully it’s magical. Holds up perfectly, too. Frankly, everything she’s done fits this description. I bought this concert video years ago and highly recommend it, too. Fabulous artist who never disappoints *chef’s kiss*

I like this piece very much! It gives a bright sense of hopefulness. Who else remembers this movie from 1996? Sweet little film, if you’ve not seen it.

The stage shape is actually called an Odal rune and, like the swastika, was adopted and slightly altered for use by the Nazi regime. Our far right party has been hiding in plain sight for decades. Ugh. Disgusting 🤮

One thing old age brings: he’s sick of this endless s**t and does not have one more single f**k to give. Bring it, Bill. Bring. IT.

What the actual fu… I cannot EVEN with these people any more. Are they all on drugs? Should they maybe BE on drugs? The mental contortions are beyond epic.

Watch this documentary. This has been known for some time. I can’t recommend it enough.

I’m tired of them being rewarded for doing bad things…

I beg to differ, and so does Wikipedia:

Home Depot c-suite donations are predominantly Republican. The co-founders are known Republican mega-donors who saw to it RvW was overturned. Perhaps they ought to rethink THAT, while they’re at it.

Here we are from CPAC 2021. They’ve been at this for a long time. They’ve been saying “we had no idea!” for a long time, too, yet they continue to use the salutes and symbols now that they SURELY know. Funny that, innit?

I only ask they do ONE thing: read the Sermon on the Mount. Just that one bit of the New Testament given by a Middle Eastern Jew to remind them what being a follower of Christ means. They’re not *Christians*. They’ve stolen that mantle for their own sick purposes. Jesus was a refugee & far too woke.

That’s rich. Her boss:

Further to my comment, I’m old and remember this movie well. Conspiracy theory fiction, yes, but quite a ride, and the cast alone is worth the price of admission. If you’ve not seen it…

I don’t know why I feel like dropping this here, but…

Um, Chairman Mao was explicitly mentioned. Chairman Mao was a…communist.

Barry Goldwater warned of it! I’m not even kidding.

Noam Chomsky is a National Treasure. If you’ve not seen it, watch his 2015 documentary “Requiem for the American Dream”. Everything we’re seeing is predicted and laid bare. Here we are: late stage capitalism where the only winners are the corporations and oligarchs.

Edit: I’m mistaken! Her latest release is ‘The Last American Road Trip: “…it is one thing to study the fall of democracy, another to have it hit your homeland — yet another to raise your children as it happens. [The book is] one family’s journey…in the US during one of its most tumultuous eras.”

Read ANYTHING @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has written. I started reading her during the Biden admin, and her latest “They Knew” ties it all together. NO ONE is spared, and she lays it all out with terrifying clarity.
