WE ARE BETTER THAN THIS YouTube video by Mick Foley

To all the wrestling fans out there,

Mick Foley has something he'd like you to hear.

On cold winter's day
Let hope shine down from the sky
Melt away the ICE.

Statement by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell YouTube video by Federal Reserve

He right.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Gang O' P-- the files?
Projections as confessions?
Through the Looking-Glass!

Send thoughts and prayers?
Is this our America?
What will rise from here?

#America #haiku

The party’s jumpin’—
outside, unmarked vans pumpin’.
Run! ICE, ICE, baby.

'Murica on ice!
Ain't it bliss? Send in the clowns!
Don’t bother, they’re here.

Our fault, it is clear
Send in the clowns, we will mend
Well, maybe next year...

Move fast and break things?
Vibe Coding the government?
Hallucinations!

Dunning, not Freddie.
Pods lack critical thinking--
Nightmare on my street

#haiku #MetaMonday

Lizard people hiss
Empty hats fill with deepfakes
Free thinking sheeple

#haiku #FreeFireFriday

Fairness—so they claim
Except rules for thee, not me
What hypocrisy!

#haiku #FreeFireFriday

Break Chesterton's fence;
Chaos as a strategy;
Humpty's great big fall?

#haiku #MetaMonday

Hope and change repealed
America great again
We spite our own face

I'd better start saving now for when the bill inevitably comes due.

People talk about world affairs in terms of "zero-sum" and "win-win" outcomes… but does it feel like we’re trapped in a "negative-sum" game right now?

Twin bolts split the sky
Bluebirds scatter, dazed, frantic
Flee to open blue

Greed, Orwellianism, and Power have ignited an uncontrollable chain reaction of fear and anger, fueled by a pit of noise, lies, and distraction—people's "Bounded Rationality" has detonated into "Unbounded Ignorance". The fallout will be devastating if we survive. #Fascist #Kleptocracy #Systems
