Mostly sneezes, reposts, thoughts, rantings, unedited nonsense, and favourite or interesting links and news and passages and quotes and engaging music and film, etc.. Don't expect to like it.

and MOST of them, on some level, KNOW it....
L*berals are to blame for Trump, resurgence of neofascism, kids in cages, drone attacks, free market BS, mass separation of families, endless wars, for-profit 'health', privatization, austerity, culture of fear, ongoing rule of patriarchy, historic slavery, making us entrepreneurs of ourselves, etc
the lies of our loser sons. . .
I will never forget the senator I met who told me
that women’s brand/ divine calling was to procreate
(incidentally, while I cannot name-names he was
a Democratic Party representative later involved in
a horrific sex scandal)
Such a clown car!
So very funny/ tragic to see the top-down 'Never give an answer to why we are at war" line play out right now vis-a-vis Iran, Venezuela, Sudan, Myanmar, the Sahel, Haiti. Palestine, Greenland, etc. Who Is the U.S. Actually at War With Right Now? https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/2026/03/america-global-conflicts-trump-iran-interventions/686256/
Lol!
Hilarious to see true liberals really digging their heels in, prolonging brunch to write strongly-worded letters that double-down on their complaint that the only way to conduct illegal wars Is to first manipulate the legal system & fill out the proper policy forms beforehand.
from Is Deceased (2025)
In the year of Luigi – “Deny, Defend, Depose” exposed – footing the bill, prison sentences for those responsible, folding companies, etc. were never options, yet. . . waivers, bankruptcy structures, spin-off of assets, scapegoats, settlements. stalling. . . just a small sampling of the usual exit strategies our corporate overlords can choose in our oligarchic society that were all still available, and executed to their full use value.

Carl Rakosi on (today's) politics. . .
Men who are not in danger during a war remain ideological. That’s why wars drag on.
When the Administration takes a moral tone, run for the hills. You will not be able to resist the general expectation that you lay down your life for words, like supreme importance.
The conscience is unaware that human nature does not behave like words, with rhetorical magnitude.
[. . ]
Ideals are absolutes. If you fall in love with them, you have to exaggerate and become a romantic autocrat. That’s what happened to the liberal.
Carl Rakosi, Ex Cranium, Night, Los Angeles: Black Sparrow, 1975, p. 138-9, 139.
