FUCK IT, WE'LL DO IT DEAD

going on 36 hours awake because every airplane seat was designed for tiny little mice. little cartoon mice curled up on a bag of peanuts and using their boarding pass as a blankie. all dragging a big steamer trunk behind them and shouting “oh boy!” when the plane takes off. unfortunately I am 6’3”

Thanks!

Judgment The history books were absolutely cooking me. Simply because of who I had been and what I had done. They always warned about this in my day but who could give a shit now. Almost no one makes it in those things. When they even bother to publish them anymore. Either way I’m chilling here in this elaborate tomb with all of my gold and the skeletons of dozens of my women and most loyal soldiers. The landscaping outside always well fertilized. Every day people file by to come look at where I rest. Where I still exist. You could almost say I never even died. And what did they write about you?

I understand Pope fatigue (I was confirmed by a child molester) and to an extent it's a Let Them Fight situation but it's genuinely important and different that the Catholic Church, a major geopolitical actor with endless resources dating back millennia, is coming out hard against fascism this time

Pro-tip for the Swalwell campaign staff now maligning the women accusing their boss of sexual misconduct: it's not worth it. There will be other campaigns and other candidates but there will never be another time that you won't regret behaving this way towards survivors.

Ex-CIA director David Petraeus says U.S. needs to learn "whole new concept of warfare" from Ukraine Ex-CIA director David Petraeus says Ukraine has offset its disadvantages against Russia through its innovation in its unmanned systems.

The West is asleep on Ukraine. I keep trying to wake them up on Gaslit Nation, but most people have no idea what's coming. Warfare is changing rapidly in Ukraine, which has major implications for us here at home. Oceans won't protect us. Read until the end:

The problem isn’t that two aircraft were shot down. The problem is that we aren’t psychologically or politically prepared to suffer any losses, because this entire war has been sold as a video game set on “easy” and not as a cause worth sacrifice.

As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant.
But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.

So great

The Kennedy center board of trustees look like theyre about to give Dick Tracy a real hard time…

Moved from Chicago in 1997, but reading this threw me right back into the kitchen of Passero’s Pizza in Lisle. (Gone, not forgotten)

The tendency with stuff like The Metaverse is for the people who championed it to tell a story when it fails about how it seemed like a good idea at the time, nobody foresaw how badly it would fail, etc. It's important to remember none of that is true. Everyone saw in real time how stupid this was.

In hindsight, maybe it was a mistake to put wealthy people who are unaffected by the day-to-day concerns of hundreds of millions of people into power.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

These ghouls act like they've discovered some novel secret: "Hey, guys, GUYS! Did you know that we can just kill people whenever we want?" Yes, you absolute idiot, that's ALWAYS been true. We just chose not to, for good and self-interested reasons which the entire world is about to learn yet again.
