This is not hyperbolic. Legitimate madness.
This is the predation I was referring to in my previous post. Remember in the Lion King when the predators took over?
We have to start talking about limits. We can't have global entities that have a right to destroy in the name of profit.

Predators of all stripes are winning.
Predators win, people identify with winners. Many people don't imagine being prey.
When the preyed upon speak up, more likely people will listen to predator.
In nature even predators play a role. In society that role is outsized.
The remedy? Limits.

You, Me and Tuscany was very cute. Some parts fell flat but overall I was entertained!!
It doesn't like the fish heads tho 😩
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for
Did you know the world has a limited amount of construction materials? A few years ago I learned we're running low on things like sand (beach destruction) which is used to make glass. Construction is also a major contributor of greenhouse emissions. Also LIVES, countless lives

"Doesn’t this all feel a little horrifyingly familiar? How can it possibly be that Democrats have yet again sleepwalked into yet another high-profile race for which they seem to have basically zero highly qualified and popular candidates?"
Reminder that governments want you to present your IDs and facescans and link those to your social media (And hell a lot of the wide internet) while this is happening, hell we've had already 2 massive biometric information leaks in less than half a year.

There's an episode from"I Love the 90s" I think it was about the show Party of Five and they highlighted how they had to be very careful of what they aired because there could be backlash and the person sounded so scared. I thought of this:
After Namibia implemented gender quotas for candidates from its dominant political party, women jumped from 21% to 41% of members in parliament. The real shift in public opinion came only after women took office and became visible as leaders.
At least 71% of election officials have done some preparation or planning for scenarios that could disrupt election administration.

Shoutout to @people.com, which covered horrific abuses at the Everglades camp that the administration refers to as "Alligator Alcatraz," citing several folks (including me) who call it a concentration camp.
Not really a new rant for me, but I did just come across new incidences of it. Wrote last week "To know that you don't know is the beginning of wisdom, and to pretend, including to yourself, that you do when you don't is a form of foolishness often mistaken for worldliness."
My latest.
I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.
One way media can fight back against male violence:

👴🏻"No, no, you don't understand! If they wrote it more directly, then 'the right' would get upset!"🤡
Nope. I understand completely.
I understand *why* US journalism prioritizes the feelings of the subset of white people that are racist, over everyone else in the nation.
I'm saying that is trash.
Every article like this is trash, mealy-mouthed cowardice.
They talk of "lesser known stories" and how the effort to tell them is "under pressure."🤡

Headlines should include the impeachability of the president's actions.
I keep thinking about national reading levels and how the "let voters decide" becomes dubious for a population with an average 6th grade reading level.
Make it plain. Make it clear.
trumps appointees being alcoholic incompetents and trumps jan 6th supporters being pedophiles seems like something historians are going to be studying tbh
