Cheat code America and inverted hippies

I was playing a game for free but I’m pestered in many ways to pay extra to keep going, basically cheat. I’m playing a game for free, agree to the manipulation.

Capitalism is a cheat code. You have an advantage. I need to study cooperatives.

I play this game where you shoot a ball and the goal is to make it bounce around and get extra hits to the blocks that count down until they disappear. That's what capitalism is, you send money in and you hope it does more and comes back with more.

I feel like some of the more fuddy duddy square community looked at the 60's and said, what can we protest? We don't care about human rights, inclusion or justice. We want our own do nothing autocratic republican in office, so we protest. It's like some weird inverted hippy movement. We experience the people we can't understand as lying, or just wrong, so we're going to lie lie lie. Bowling Green Massacre? That's our feelings about liberals. Liberals don't listen to us and give us our way? So we make our way happen and trample on democracy. No democratic spirit. Sure, we'll impeach Biden when we win the midterms. We didn't think Trump's impeachment was fair, so we're going to impeach unfair. It's all political, there is no objective reality. This is my experience of Republican rationalizations.

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.

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.
