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

movie versus book

I'm watching the movie a second time, and I'm halfway through the book. Among the movie's differences from the book. Sortilege starts off narrating. The movie doesn't have the school bell for the phone either, just a regular ring. It's really weird the way Doc shouts when he sees the photo of Amethyst as a baby. I guess it's to dramatize the negative impact of being pregnant and using, but the child we see looks pretty healthy. The child doesn't huff out because they're boring like she did in the book.  Superficially The Big Lebowski and Inherent Vice are similar but it's a completely different style of narrative. The Coen brothers are amazing, they have a very witty movie that I have loved for a long time. Pynchon is a whole other realm of fiction, and this conversion is fairly faithful, taking out the best lines and making it more compact. The audio book is 15 hours, the movie is 2 hours. Anyway, I like the different movies for different reasons. T...

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 ...
