I can't leave not well enough alone.

Some humans have always sought to kill, trick, and marginalize others of their species.

ICYMI: The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications.

It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far.

Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

We admonish ourselves in our parents voices.

A person who works for too many years often comes too long to give up their shifts to death.

Hosting a world cup after pissing off everybody in the world seems like a very bad and dangerous decision.

They've unleashed thousands of overpowered and untrained white supremacists against the US populace. I fear that even if it is stopped (which it may not be) it is a wrong that will likely never be righted... we don't have a good track record redressing our self inflicted horrors.

-Andy Schmookler "The Parable of the Tribes"

"The tyranny of power is such that even self-defense becomes a kind of surrender. Not to resist is to be transformed at the hands of the mighty."

The only Eyedea that I cared about died.
Y unsheath the proboscis when we're all empty inside.
Our will to survive is maladaptive and snide.
So I don't mind that in 22 years I will die

Azathoth, the sleeper, awakens. Maitreya is already here.

Rejoice!

Those with overwhelming power have facilitated their ability to be benevolent. I believe "The Culture" is real and is already here. They are in the air, in the insects, in your very cells.

"The Dharma is not what we think it is. We are not what we think we are. Practice is not limited to a project of the small self."

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

The Buddha said, “There are twenty things of great difficulty for human beings. [One of them is] for a man of great wealth and position to develop an aspiration for the Way.”
