@nprofile…kjrn were not headed there. We are there. The numbers may be smaller, but the mechanics and intent and execution are identical, and *currently happening*.
Framing this as where we “are headed” is frog boiling framing. We’re in the pot. We’re being boiled.

@nprofile…kjrn
I'm arresting Kilmeade and deporting him to Antarctica!
But wait, he's a citizen!
No, he's not.
But he has proof!
No, he doesn't.
You can't deny him the chance to prove it!
Sure I can. He's not a citizen. He doesn't have any due process rights!
But he is!
No, he's not.

When you think of corporate fraud, you should think of Trump. When you think rapist, you should think of Trump. When you think of insurrection, or you could just as well call it treason, you should think of Trump. When you think of stealing money from charity, you should think of Trump.
When you think of bankruptcy, you should think of Trump. When you think of racism and white supremacists, you should think of Trump. When you think of domestic terror & violence, you should think of Trump.

Abandon the failed Democratic party.
What we’re going to need from now on doesn’t look like the rotting husk of octogenarian perpetual losers clinging to power.
It looks like young folks fighting for a fair, sustainable, progressive future.
Since we’re not likely to have a 2028 election, for the first time in forever, electability doesn’t matter. Only resistance and effectiveness and an ability to make shit happen.
Destroy the old guard. Build something new.

@nprofile…zsaa yeah, most days I don’t think we’re gonna have any more elections. Bannin is already broadcasting that their strategy is that Trump can (somehow Palpatine returned) run again.

It’s worth really remembering how things are right now, before Trump and his cronies run rampant.
Economy, recovering US manufacturing, cost of things, environment, US’s place in the world both good and bad, women’s rights, trans rights, gay rights, immigration, health, etc. whatever happens to be important to you.
Just make a note of how it is now so you have something concrete to think about in four years.

@npub1tpj…fmcs I tried reading this with the kids, because I had a very similar experience reading it when I was younger. But it's very rooted in its time, and the particular pseudo-science things of the moment. Do you know of anything that's as good, but more timely?

Chicken pot pie is full of chicken, vegetables, a bit of butter and flour and stock. Sure, there’s pie crust, but aside from that I don’t why I feel like it’s much less healthy than just chicken, vegetables, butter, and some bread.

A LinkedIn “influencer” raised $3m for “Among Us + Clue + NFTs”. This totally blows my mind. When you try to come up with “game 1 + game 2 = new game” you’re not allowed to say “game 1 + game 1 = new game”, because “game 1 + game 1 = game 1”.
And yes, Among Us and Clue are mechanically different because they’re games for different mediums. But they’re the *same game* for *different mediums*.
And then add NFTs for … some reason. What a fucking clown show. This guy is a “top voice” in games? Ha.

Inflation is because companies reaped huge profits for the 1%.
Layoffs have been so that stock price rises for the 1%.
There isn’t an economic downturn. It’s capitalism run amok.
I don’t know when it’ll happen, but my guess is that guillotines will be a growth industry in the relatively near term.

The Tokyo Mobility show having a bunch of Japanese electric sports car concepts was wonderful. Sell these, and I’ll definitely buy one. This is exactly EXACTLY the kind of car I’m looking for.

Is #UPS’s package tracking just wildly off for anyone else? I’ve been getting alerts that “Your package is out for delivery” literally *days* before it gets delivered. And it’s not spam - it’s a legit package with a legit tracking number. It’s weird, because they usually arrive when they’re supposed to arrive - I’m just getting told they’re arriving days early. And it’s never true.
It’s weird. How could their tracking thing be this wrong this often?
