Trapped in the Shrinking Chocolate Box the Confused Sardine Was Unhappy
That's my right eye. This constant anger, all mine if fed by shitlords 24/7/365, it frightens me that not only can it be sustained but will grow ever deeper, stronger, all-consumingly, and it frightens me my blurt control deteriorating rapidly, and it frightens and shames me the world I'm leaving my daughter (who will be my age in 2058 when Earth will still be here but not this world), see the grid below my left eye (fogging ever faster) where I scream at you ballistically, my apologies, I can't help it, perhaps quitting here might help, I can't

"A century after Upton Sinclair exposed the inhumane and unhygienic conditions of Chicago’s stockyards, life for animals in America’s factory farms and slaughterhouses is still gruesome"
I've spent little time thinking about Biden's ukrainefuckup (I've been preoccupied with his genocide of Gazans, if you're like me, here's a update on Joe's ukrainefuckup
"Quadcopters were emitting baby sounds, playing sounds of screaming women"
Menny Borris taught at Hilltop for a few years and I had to deal with him at the library and he was a Top Three Asshole of the many asshole faculty members I've dealt with in my 35 years
"Israel bans the importation into Gaza of anaesthetics. Hence, the scores of children who are amputated daily, following Israel's bombings, are put to the knife without anaesthesia - if they are lucky to be taken to a functioning medical facility and not be bombed when in it"
"We have a very serious problem in our nation's media infrastructure when ostensibly liberal outlets like the New York Times are reprinting unverified accusations from a genocidal apartheid state to provide them with a rhetorical defense for their atrocities. We are living in a post-dystopian world"

"The United States has always been mean and ugly, from the Pilgrim Fathers who wanted religious freedom for themselves but not for Papists or Anabaptists, to the Declaration of Independence, to squabbles among the Framers, to the divisions over slavery, to Secession and civil war, to rebellion in the southern states after that war was over, to Jim Crow, to anti-immigrant sentiments and violence by and against labor, to fascist rallies and claims that FDR was a Communist Jew, and so on and on"
"Doug Wilson is an Idaho-based Christian nationalist pastor who co-founded a denomination called the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, and co-authored a book which whitewashed slavery as a “relationship built upon mutual affection and confidence.” Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, belongs to a CREC church"

4/in a review of an inconvenient apocalypse :
Unfortunately, most readers are likely to misinterpret the book’s title. That’s because the word apocalypse has come to be equated in popular parlance with the end of the world. But Jackson and Jensen are using it in its traditional sense, which they paraphrase as follows: “a lifting of the veil, a disclosure of something hidden from most people, a coming to clarity.” Understood in this sense, it’s perfect to describe the change in consciousness needed for humanity to make meaningful movement toward sustainability. Still, it’s regrettable that those who aren’t familiar with this meaning of apocalypse are likely to dismiss this book as alarmist or fatalist. (To the authors’ credit, their original title, The Old Future is Gone, would have been much less prone to such connotations; alas, it was rejected by the publisher on the grounds of its poor search engine optimization value, according to Jensen in interviews.)

Okay BUT why have we been imputing to the mostly inanimate sack-of-Biden any sort of agency we'd expect of anyone whose mind is NOT a half-empty and rusty can of opened and poured (in the late '90s) soup? Jill did those family pardons and unimportant other things and the head puppeteers did all the rest. It's weird to me that we still agree to pretend that the character and the flesh-wreck are synonyms. Signed,
