Soon I'll Be Left With Nothing But Stars, Some of Them Fake, Space Filling With Satellites While the Blazing Bodies Drift Farther Away and the Moon Trails Hopelessly After Them, Crying For Love

Currently on chrome and firefox on both windows on my work PC and chrome on my personal chromebook this blog's blogrolls and feeds are broken and disordered and in a strange font and clicking on a site brings up nothing but code so (fuck me) all the links in the grid of anger are at least a day old, fine metaphors abound, enshittification-wise, today's mood the same as yesterday's the same as tomorrow's:


I'm trying to be cold but too-hot wins. Work bloweth now also, my busiest hardest month of the year, the month when my two core responsibilities peak, and here, as in everywhere, the assholiest people are assholier than ever. You know, shitlords are tuning us to be meaner angrier, more selfish, less kind, it's part of their extermination plan for us, to make us so busy being angry and assholes to each other so we are less assholes to them while they openly endeavor to kill us. It works: look at my grids of anger. You do know that shitlords think you are capable of enjoyable evil equal to them? It's their magic power. I was briefly saved yesterday when I heard this song on Daniel's show, I love Lon Fin Killie but I love Bows more and the song below the grid and this song especially





In the West Bank, the war on Iran has removed all restraints on settler violence against Palestinians
Today's monologue: this has been, is, and will always be the plan for you too
"The joke here in case you don’t get it is that when Israel lines up a bunch of stripped naked old Palestinian men with bags over their heads to take them off to torture prisons they don’t look emaciated enough so it can’t be genocide. Many Americans in polite society also think this!"
"The debate about whether the Holocaust is unique is a non-debate. It had unique aspects. What is unique about Gaza is impunity.
Chaos is the PointThe Peace of Shit
"In this dystopia, mass surveillance is now so normalized that you can be designated a terrorist for helping people avoid being surveilled"
"The Venn Diagram of the Epstein Class and the Ruling Class is a circle"
"Free Speech is Joe Rogan and some other Nazi babbling race science at each other for 17 hours, while leftists get 50 years in prison for handing out Zines"
Is Capitalist Exploitation a Kind of Domination?
People think I'm crazy when I say that shitlords are actively, aggressively, greedily trying to kill us
Plaguing the Americas With Misery in the Name of Liberty
"A racist regime delighting in the pain of Black and Brown people in the country legally"
Reflections on weakness, violence, and solidarity
"It's time to refer to establishment Dems as the Epstein wing of the Democratic party"
Hasan Piker Is The Democatic Establishment’s #1 Issue In 2028
"Third Way announcing it’s going to spend millions to wage a “war” on the populist left just confirms it. Corporate Dems are willing to sabotage candidates like @AbdulElSayed & lose Congress if thats the cost of the faction maintaining its power"
Smeared by a panicked Democratic Establishment
"Democrats have to stand for something. That’s why I support things. Good things. Jobs and houses are good things, so I support them. Healthcare: also should be good. Democrats know things are bad, and so we’ll make them good. How? That’s not important. What matters is I think it’s good"
Clinton insider is running PR for tech behind Trump’s secret police, cyber attacks, and Israeli drone warfare
"weird how he can get flown back to his home country within days, yet everyone else in ICE custody rots in a hole for weeks or months until they get sent to whichever country has the most diseases in its prisons"
There is no lower form of life on Earth than American crackerchristers
When Your Partner Ignores the Collapse
Carlo Ginzburg & Perry Anderson correspondence
Ugly-Crying Over DollyShitlord Diplomacy
This was never about money, it was about pleasing motherfucking crackers
Ex-Deputy Convicted of Assaulting Women Now Chaplain for Christian Cop Group
Fox News complains that underage teenage girls aren’t getting pregnant enough

THE CURRENT DILEMMA

Kim Addonizio

Everyone's trying to figure out where to go next.
California was good until some of it was swept
into a furnace, the rest suspended next to a target
over a carnival dunk tank. Nothing is good forever,
not even a thing of beauty, no matter what Keats said
about joy in that really long poem I could never finish.
Chocolate was good, especially dark, now they've found
cadmium and lead. Eggs were cheap, then pricey,
then astronomical, as in probably cheaper on Mars
where no one wants to go except one megarich clodpole.
New Orleans was good but then it snowed in New Orleans
and those levees won't last forever, either. Today
the White House announced reality was canceled
once again, maybe to be reinstated when the Styx
freezes over. I spent the day alone in my friend's house
in the Arizona desert. Wandering from room to room,
asking the mountains, Are you my mother? I wonder
where she went after hospice care, if she joined
the few souls flitting from that armless saguaro
to the dying mesquite tree by my friend's pretty pool
she never swims in, fluffing their wings as they settle
and coo. Detroit is supposed to be good in fifty years
but I'll be dead then and if I lived there now, I might want
to be dead. Everyone wants to breathe
but it's getting more difficult, all those boots crushing
everyone's tracheas, all those trolls under the bridges
trying to devour us as we bleat our alarm. Baaa! I'm bleating now.
The mountains reassure me but the sun's going down.
Soon I'll be left with nothing but stars, some of them
fake, space filling with satellites while the blazing
bodies drift farther away and the moon
trails hopelessly after them, crying for love.
