Humpty Dumpty world.

The true legacy of the Soviet Union is authoritarianism not socialism.

Talibangelicals, Covidiots and Spreadnecks like authoritarianism, support the "legitimate discourse" that killed 5 people, and would rather get their way than live in a democracy. The like liberalism where everyone has the right to... but only those they like. Like the Supreme Court Justice who refused to follow rules and wear a mask, things are all cattywampus. 

Tucker Carlson enjoys influencing people but successfully argued in court that he is not real news and merely engages in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' His argument states no reasonable person would take him seriously.

Russia has been fighting a war on information for quite a while to go on top of the literal murder they are doing in Ukraine right now. The Americans who support the freedom to murder by Russians in Ukraine fit right in with the murder cult. 

With globalization scrapped in favor of a alliances new order, we continue to not raise above our limited human views.

Meanwhile insurrectionist are still not held accountable for fear that it might seem partisand to the "non-literal" lying community.

Book banning strikes me as a perfect backfire strategy to get kids to read.

The whole project of lying and manipulating is that the right has given up debating because they lose so easily and playing head games is the only way for them to "share their opinion". The goal is to get you to avert you attention so they can continue to get away with everything.

The bipartisanship is about dividing Americans, it's unpatriotic and it's about superficial power and appearances. Look how unified the Ukrainians are. The GOP has chosen party over county and like all their other utterances, denial is confirmation. They're a red herring party, the party of obstruction and distraction. Like MTV don't play music any more, the party of Lincoln doesn't support or protect African Americans or anything else they stupidly claim, like Biden controls the gas prices or whether there is war in other countries. Their syllogisms are all wrong.

I wish we had 2 intelligent parties, the Republicans are not pushing the Democrats enough, giving them a real push to be better. They set the bar so low.

There's going to be a reckoning soon.

Manet and Degas

  Brilliant video explaining the exhibit. Go to the Met and see the exhibit! It's really quite special.  In the last gallery the painting this sketch is based off of, of the execution of a Mexican president. The painting has been cut into sections, and the surviving Degas has reassembled them. NY Times review

The case for Harris

Motley Kamuka Blog endorses Kamala Harris. In general, Trump just wants to lower taxes on the rich, and do nothing, sell whatever influence he can to line his pockets. Apparently the emoluments clause in the constitution has no teeth. Harris has a set of ideas about policy that are fairly middle of the road. In most countries she's would be seen as a centrist. Spin about her radical agendas are exaggerated.  I'm not sure how he got past " grab them by the pussy ", but he did and here we are. Women: Obviously the idea of giving women pregnancy tests at the borders of the state, and then if they come back and don't have a baby, they go to jail, isn't really what most women want. Pick Harris.  I understand if you think abortion is murder, maybe you've been told that by the Catholic church, which has the same ideal of Buddhism that you don't kill--so follow your religion for yourself. Not everyone is Christian or Buddhist or even has a religion. Women are ...

Gravity's Rainbow Notes Franz Pokler

From pp 397-433: Franz Pokler , a German rocket scientist. He is marginally associated with early attempts to develop rockets in the 1920's. During the war, Weissmann controls Pokler, giving him routine assignments and keeping him in line by allowing him yearly visits from a girl who he says is Pokler's daughter. The girl spends the rest of the year in a concentration camp, and Weissmann's implied threat is that she will be killed if Pokler fails to cooperate with Weissmann's scheme. Weissmann's purpose is to use Pokler to make one small part for the A4 rocket. In the end, having performed his task, Pokler is released; Slothrop meets him living quietly in the ruins of a children's village after the end of the war. His daughter also survives.
